Falling Ahead

We're still unpacking boxes after our recent move, while doing our best to take care of business back at the ranch. Every time we move I proclaim that next time I'm hiring a moving company, however once again friends and family saved the day. Effusive thanks from us to everyone who lent a hand in the process. But ya know, those boxes just seem heavier than they used to. Next time I'm hiring a moving company.

 

So, here we are darn close to the fall season, and we really wanted to get information out to you about some of the changes and programs coming to Lightsmith. I say some because we will have much to add during the next few weeks. In the mean time I have updated the calendar a bit, and will let Michele explain more in her comments below.

 

Hope you have enjoyed your breather, because it's going to get busy. Wherever you're at in your transition, you'll soon be called into what's next. For many of us the time of greater expression is arriving and the creation of our life experiences will become easier. Doesn't mean we won't be busy, but efforting may become a lost concept. I'll offer more perspectives on what I mean by that and what the next wave is bringing as we step up our communications in the coming weeks, but for now please take a few minutes to read Michele's update below. I know there are many words to read (c'mon C & J, it's not that bad), but what she wrote begins to spell out the basis of the coming year.

 

Falling further ahead soon,

 

Chris

 

 

 

From Michele:

 

It hardly seems real that Lightsmith will soon be celebrating the 3-year anniversary of our purchase of the Humboldt Ave. property. We moved into the building with a sense that the New Field of Creation needed a place to focus and for people to have a place to come to learn about, grow into, and synchronize within this field. The first year for us was very physical, just getting the building ready for people to come. I started teaching the Chakra series that year with two groups and then formed additional groups over the past two years. That chakra series formed the "bones" of the basic restructuring process needed for people to move out of duality and begin to function within the new field.

 

The information I share in the classes and the guided processes I facilitate assist people to understand the sequence and process of how a soul incarnates developmentally and what causes soul fragmentation. Through the processes, people start to re-integrate aspects of soul that fragmented and to then begin the fusion process of calling one's Light into Life. We videotaped the original series and have updated the processes, so it continues to be accessible to any who are feeling they need a foundation for the shift out of their old story.

 

Last year I added an Advanced Practitioner Course for those who work with others. In this course I share my experiences of how to work directly within this field, to heal soul fragmentation, to work with consciousness within the body and all of life, and to begin to integrate this approach within their varied practices. Those participating grew personally while practicing with each other, and began to experience the ease and support of receiving directly from this field of Living Awareness.

 

A second current that has been consistent is the second Saturday channeling. Most of you know that I have been a channel for Spirit teachers since 1983 and the Earth Mother since 1995. The Spirit teachers remained mostly anonymous until January of 2006 when Jesus came to begin a series of visits by individual Masters, Angels, or significant people from human history. That series has continued through this year, and will reach completion this December. Each visitor told a piece of the larger story from their perspective and part in the unfolding plan, downloaded their wisdom and very specific frequencies of Light into the field, and facilitated some amazing processes for those who were present or participated later through the recordings.

 

I have also had a private healing practice facilitating individual soul reintegration, healing from trauma, and releasing old structures that were part of survival in duality. I started Mentored Groups of 5 people for those who wanted to do this work within a supportive group energy field and to keep a rhythm for continuing the process through meeting once a month. My client load has been increasing since about a year ago and I am now booked six weeks into the future. Chris keeps everything running smoothly and is the one most of you know through his succinct and humorous updates. You may not always see what he does since I am the focus for the classes, etc. but he is the wizard behind of all of the recordings, CD's and downloads, website and calendar work, building upkeep and continued renovation, and more than I can list.

 

Also, we are now beginning to expand what is offered here at Lightsmith as collaborators step forward and offer their own contributions into the whole. Lightsmith Collaborations feels like it will continue to evolve as the year unfolds. So, that is the general picture as we move into our fourth year here at Lightsmith.

 

Since we are working within the New Field of Creation all the time, it is up to us to listen to what is coming into creation within it and through us. So this year, as we create what will be offered here, we are choosing to stay true to that which we teach and share with others. First, I am feeling a need (I could say an inner push!) to write, and I need time and space to do that. I want to continue to work with practitioners so more people with a variety of skills are able to facilitate people through the process of soul healing and transformation while staying conscious of working within the Living Field. I am also feeling a need to go deeper with those who desire to move further into the Field of Living Light and practice living Presence.

 

Since I am only one person, I am deciding to do more two-day immersion experiences and to move the Chakra class to a different format. I am also raising my client rates, partly because I will need to cut back how many people I see in a month if I am to open up some time for writing while keeping Lightsmith afloat. Following is our plan as we know it thus far, subject to revision as we become more fully informed.

 

 

 

The Chakra Classes

 

I will teach an abbreviated version of the Chakra series this year, with the majority of the classes being on a Wednesday evening. I would like to invite parents, teachers, and others who work with children to consider taking this course, as well as those who are doing their own personal work and needing the map of the new operating system for the New Field of Creation. The focus of the class is to take participants back through their own developmental stages when each aspect of their soul was descending while activating and integrating within one of the primary chakras. The information and processes facilitate a release of old structures and integrating the new information needed for this time.

 

The experiential portion of the classes begins the process of calling in soul aspects that left or fragmented during different times in this or other lives. For those working with children, the classes will assist you to understand how to support their soul development while they are going through it and to support you to be more present for yourself and them. For participants this year, we will make the DVD's of the more expanded course available at a special price for those interested in the deepening experiences that I offered in the longer classes.

 

I will offer two of the eight classes in an extended version, the Heart Chakra and the Solar Logos, as a way to assist with integration and to include a few things from the expanded version. And, if there is enough interest, we can offer child care during the classes at a reasonable cost. Kids seem to love it here at Lightsmith and often don't want to leave! This year the 8 sessions will be offered on Wednesdays every other week, with two full-day Saturdays. The classes will begin on Wednesday, October 15th. See the calendar for additional dates. A complete flyer will be available ASAP.

 

Advanced Practitioner Course

 

I will begin a new Practitioner Course in a weekend format. Last year it was two Saturdays per Module and there were four Modules. This year, each Module will take place in a weekend which saves gas and assists those coming from a distance to plan one trip instead of two. This course is designed for those who are either working with others in a practice or who are moving toward that experience. The Modules are outlined on the Lightsmith website, and the first weekend is scheduled for November 1st and 2nd. Again, see the calendar for the planned dates. Once the group is formed, we may have some flexibility in scheduling additional weekends.

 

Advanced Practitioner Course 2

 

Many participants of the first Advanced Practitioner Course want to continue, so I will offer four Saturdays to assist them to evolve their practice and integrate more of the techniques and processes that were introduced last year. I continue to learn and like to be able to pass this along to those who can use it. This group will also form the core of a Practitioner Network that Lightsmith will host on its website so people desiring healing will have a choice of people who can facilitate healing through a variety of skills and experience.These 4 sessions are full Saturday events. The first is scheduled for October 25th.

 

Immersions

 

Immersions is one of our new offerings. These full weekend events will be for anyone looking to move into what is next. Chris and I will co-facilitate weekend "immersion" experiences of guiding people into their own consciousness and soul process, and learning how to discern where the current is leading them to pay attention and respond. It will be a good way to connect with the Living Field directly and stay present long enough for old structures to become apparent and release, while practicing some new ways of paying attention that can be integrated into ones life. For now we are calling these immersion experiences Practicing Presence (leading to becoming a Potentized Presence!). They will also include channeled experiences as needed with either those in Spirit or the Earth Mother. We may also be joined by other collaborators who would facilitate complementary experiences such as conscious breathing or movement.

 

We are creating these immersions as full weekend events to further open the experiences to anyone who needs to travel to St. Paul from a distance, and we will help coordinate available space in private homes to help minimize the cost of accommodations. The first of 4 Immersions will be the weekend of November 22nd and 23rd. Other dates are on the calendar, and more details will be available by the next update.

 

Special note:

In Your Element Playshops 1 and 2 on Sat. September 25th

 

Before closing, I wanted to let you know that I am trying a full day format for the next IYE Playshops. Both will be on the same day, September 25th, and you can sign up for either one or both. See the calendar for times and more information. The cost per Playshop is $115. If you previously attended and would like a refresher, the cost is $30. If you bring a friend your cost is $15, and if you bring 2 new people you can attend for free. You can find more information on our website at http://www.lightsmith.com/center/element.htm

 

We have more to talk about, including changes to our Saturday channelings and Earth Mother Mondays, but we wanted to get the dates for these other programs out to you so you can plan your own calendar. Full details for everything will be on the website as soon as Chris can get everything created and posted. In the mean time, please contact me if you have any questions.
