On Blessings: Blessings are everywhere if you know how and where to look. When you understand that blessings are moments of grace that provide access to multi-dimensional benevolence, you will appreciate that such benevolence comes in the best and most appropriate ways to deliver evolutionary results. Intentionally bestowed, blessings are powerful acts of unconditional loving from beings on your world and celestial beings from beyond your world who honor your journey and choose to assist in your soul-embodiment. Blessings arrive with an element of surprise and wonder simply because you didn’t expect to be considered and thought of in often, a tender way. Occasionally blessings are bombastically dropped upon those who are resistant to being loved, just as a reminder that the world is larger than their anger and pain. But overall, blessings are delightful. We who get to offer them often are delighted to do so.

One of this world’s greatest blessings was the birth of a little child who physically brought Heaven to Earth, to be held and caressed, loved and cared for as a human being by human beings. Humanity was not so good at raising that child and honoring the journey of this man long ago. But you have changed. Now there are so many more soul-aware and soul-empowered human beings capable of unconditionally loving as he hoped you would learn to do. Every day, when a child descends onto Earth, a little bit of Heaven comes here too. Allowing the sparkles of Heaven to live on and grow in each of these children, means that we raise soulful adults capable of making the choices that literally create Heaven on Earth. Can you imagine being blessed from the supermarket to the gas station, from the bank to the doctor’s office, from the school parking lot to the theater, from the front door of your house to the steps of the Capitol building in Washington, DC? In each of these spaces visualize the power of unconditional loving transforming conflict into collaboration and disrespect into understanding. Imagine blessings being consistently delivered until everyone awakens to the tremendous power of their Soul and uses it.

Blessings aren’t just gifts. They are investments in those to whom they are sent. You may be surprised that the Heavens have been watching you and greatly thought about what you most need. Truly, the celestial beings place great value in your life. They believe in your soul-empowerment. They respect your Soul’s journey on the Earth. They understand that you carry on the mission of that little child every time you make a decision that fills the world with love. And you offer the Heavens great hope. In witnessing your soul-embodiment you are sharing levels of courage, bravery, and perseverance that they have not had to experience. By redeeming yourselves from the ravages of darkness by living within the blessings of light, you successfully deliver Heaven to Earth. When that happens, the entire universe celebrates. May we all blessed be!

Song For December:

Arise For Love received and performed by Ilona Anne Hress with Clive Smith on her recording, Love Is On The Move.

Arise for love is uniting us.
Arise as love brings peace.
Arise for love is healing us,
Bringing joy that will not cease.
Ah!

Arise for love is blessing us,
Bringing honor, trust, and grace.
Arise for love is upholding us.
Growing strong, we live in faith.
Ah!

Arise for we are cherishing,
The love that makes us whole.
Arise for we are tenderly embracing
Each other’s Souls.
Ah!

Arise we live in harmony,
Creating through thoughts and deeds.
Arise for love is flowing,
Our lives are safe, at peace.
Ah!

December’s Mantra:

I embrace the blessings pouring into me as I embody my Soul and bless all around me.
Listening to We Are Here from the album RISE and completing the exercise and meditation accompanying this song will fill you with blessings from your angels and celestial guides.

Planetary Activation:

Breathe in a brilliant luminescent blue with silvery sparkles. Keep breathing in these energies until you feel your consciousness floating in outer space. Allow yourself to see the Earth in front of you. When you look around become aware of the celestial beings of your solar system, galaxy, and universe coming towards you. Hear the music they make, the frequencies through which they communicate. Feel the presence of angel guides on either side and allow yourself to be taken on a celestial journey. Relax as your journey commences.

M31 Great Galaxy in Andromeda Constellation with satellite galaxies M110 and M32

You will travel past the outer planets of your solar system and be greeted by the civilizations residing in these celestial homes. Allow yourself to experience the gifts of each of these heavenly civilizations. They are your neighbors and friends. Each has offered Earth much support over the millennia. Is there one planet that touches you greatly? Perhaps you have lived there yourself and this civilization is part of your evolutionary family? Allow this enlightenment to descend into your consciousness.

As the angels guide you our of your solar system, become aware of connecting to the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. Many of your Soul family who reside here will make themselves known to you. They will introduce you to their solar systems and the intelligences in which they participate. Relax and enjoy getting to know these aspects of your Soul. Now, you will be guided to the star at the center of the Milky Way. This is your departure point to visit other star systems and galaxies in this universe. Your destination is a star system that has been pivotal in the development of your Soul. For many, it is the last celestial home in which you resided before coming to Earth. This homecoming has been looked forward to with great anticipation for you have been gone quite a long time. Your angels are taking you there now.

Relax into the celestial environment in which you now experience yourself. Your consciousness reflects the type of life to be experienced here. You may simply be energy without a physical form, or you may have a physical form dramatically different from that of a human body. Become aware of how you exist and what form of communication works in this new environment. Relax into the embodiment you are now experiencing so that you can connect with those who love you here. There is a great celebration unfolding and you are the guest of honor. Enjoy your homecoming. Your celestial family has asked for the reunion so they can infuse you with whatever you now need to succeed on Earth. They also are receiving the gifts you have brought with you from Earth that they need. It is time for a gift exchanging, so to speak. Have fun opening presents!

As the party begins to end, feel the gratitude and appreciation infusing all in attendance. Become aware of a sense of wholeness and completion as you prepare to say goodbye to each other for another long while. Note the energies being placed into each other’s hearts with every embrace. A little bit of the other is staying with you. The blessings of this reunion live on. As your angels come to pick you up, you are filled with gratitude for this visit.

Jesus the Christ will guide you to inner peace

You have one more stop to make on this journey. The angels take you to the departure point from your star system to the Great Central Sun of this Universe. There is a very large gathering occurring to which you are invited. You take those you love from your celestial home to this gathering through your heart connection. As the angels deliver you to a massive golden chamber in the Great Central Sun, you are overcome by the sensations of loving beyond all that you have ever experienced. It is as if you are floating, swimming, bobbing in a golden ocean of love so pure your entire face is smiling. There are lots of beings here and all are wearing a joyous expression, even those who don’t have recognizable faces. Freedom, wonder, and gratitude come in overwhelming waves of emotion and vibration. There are lots of angel voices and celestial languages expressing themselves in harmony. This is a heavenly party. Suddenly all find themselves being organized into a beautiful pattern on a golden plane and a gentle and friendly young man descends onto the golden floor. At least, that’s what he looks like to the humans in attendance. He has a wonderful smile, a comfortable way about him, and a sense of humor as he welcomes you to his home, the heart of this Universe. He thanks you for being part of his family and embraces you with his love. He notes that things are still a bit tough on the Earth but not to give up. It’s getting much better and you are making wonderful progress. He reminds you of who you truly are and infuses you with his faith in your ability to live from and through your Soul. He asks you to enjoy the present company around you and to know that you have many friends in this universe who respect and admire you. As he touches your heart, he sends his blessings to your celestial family and lets them know how much he cares for them too. He shares a special message with you now and maybe just a little bit of fun. Enjoy your time with who you may know as Jesus.

Jesus has lots of visits to make at this party so as he makes his way to visit with others, your angels pick you up and prepare to take you back to Earth. They don’t have to make any stops on the return trip, so you arrive above your physical form rather quickly. The angels have enjoyed taking you on this celestial journey and they safely deliver your consciousness into your body. They bless you with wide-open wings and sing of joy as they depart. As you awaken to your humanity, touch your heart and feel the presence of the Christ living within you. Feel also the love of your celestial family. Golden sparkles are radiating from you now. It is indeed a Merry Christmas!

December’s Stones:

azurite malachite

Azurite supports your intuition to act upon divine guidance.

These minerals expand your awareness and receptivity to divine assistance. They help you to recognize and comprehend the assistance being provided so you can effectively utilize it. Some strong and others fragile, they encourage you to soften up when appropriate and to toughen up when needed. They support your benevolence toward all life and encourage your appreciation for the kingdoms of nature. Connecting with your multi-dimensional third eye and promoting access to the mind of your Soul, these stones teach you how to connect with others and understand what is required and why. They teach you how to be a blessing, offering a moment of grace to those who may have lost faith. In doing so, you understand the importance of your life and the impact that you can make in unconditionally loving all. These stones bless you as much as they assist you in blessing others.

Because these stones facilitate blessings, they are wonderful to give to others, rather than to keep to yourself. A fun way to support any relationship is for both of you to carry or wear the same stone. Each of you can program the stone with your best wishes and hopes before giving it to each other. You can also create stone grids from combinations of these stones for families or businesses. Program the grid with the most benevolent outcomes for the groups involved and let the stones radiate successful outcomes for all. Lastly, you may choose to make a grid for your celestial family and utilize these stones as a gateway to further communication and multi-dimensional travel to your celestial home. Any way you choose to work with the stones of December, I am sure you will be blessed.

  4. When God is in your midst, how do you recognize him/her/it?

Upgrading the Subtle Bodies of the Auric Field into 5D Resonance

5D Subtle Bodies Crystalline Matrix

The resonance within your subtle bodies is shifting in accordance with the acceleration of your planet’s experience of her own multi-dimensional awakening. Your planet has its own auric field which sustains all life forms upon and within it. As the resonance of the planetary auric field is modulated by incoming solar, galactic, and universal frequencies, the auric fields of all life forms upon the planet are likewise affected. Within the context of solar, galactic, and universal evolution, multiple evolutionary timelines are impacting your current experience of being human. As your planet evolves into her fifth-dimensional expression, the opportunity to consciously embody your Soul’s presence becomes a reality out of necessity.   Evolving into higher dimensional resonance requires the upgrading of the aspects of your being that allow you to experience life on Earth. Your hopes and dreams, thoughts, feelings, memories, and behavior must upshift to access and utilize the current electromagnetic streams bathing the planet in evolutionary opportunity. This experience requires the stretching of your humanity into your divinity, with the willingness to transmute the past, and transcend into the collaborative creation of a new reality. We are providing some simple steps to assist you in engaging these benevolent higher dimensional frequencies for your soul-embodiment

New Moon Planetary Activations for 2020

world tree, earth

We continue our journey into the Fifth Dimension on Earth in our New Moon Planetary Activations throughout the coming year. Here is a message about what 2020 will bring:

2020 will delight as much as challenge you to become soul-embodied vehicles of transformation. Your capacity to live from your truth, with integrity and compassion, offers you tremendous opportunities to transform conflict into peace through awareness and understanding. Although the world may experience many ups and downs, your evolutionary journey can progress smoothly as you join together to create life-affirming fifth-dimensional communities that choose unconditional loving over reactionary fear. You are the decision-makers of the future and this is the year that you begin making a series of choices that will forever change how you experience economics, education, health care, and science. It’s not a leap of faith that occurs in 2020. It is a conscious paradigm shift that is soul-driven, soul-inspired, and soul-empowered to honor life on Earth in all its forms. This will be a year marked by the courageous and certainly that is you!

Please join me on these Friday evenings at 7:30pm at the Masonic Lodge, 170 Main St., Madison, NJ 07940.

The How-To-Love Weekend

The flow of unconditional loving in enlightened relationships.

Ever wonder what went wrong in some relationships and why others just seemed to flow? Loving is both a skill and an art. The skills can be taught and then the artistry unfolds. Let Ilona guide you into the mechanics of unconditional loving, giving you the tools to understand how each gender understands and approaches life, and what it takes to turn them into a complementary, respectful, and productive team. Discover new levels of intimacy and the power of soul-embodied enlightened relationships. Let your experience of being loved expand as old wounds heal, resentments dissolve, and your confidence in knowing how to love grows.

This weekend retreat presents the opportunity to practice unconditional love by experiencing it. Multiple exercises and artistic adventures turn what you learn into what you know. All is done with compassionate joy that respects the process of every individual. Participants experience their own supportive crystalline grids, meet the dragon choosing to assist them through the retreat, and are surrounded by angelic and celestial beings who guide them into an enlightened relationship inside themselves that changes the way they love all others for the rest of their lives. In this weekend, you invest in love and love transforms you.

Held at the Warwick Valley Bed and Breakfast Inn, you are surrounded by beauty and comfort. All meals and snacks are provided so that you can focus on you.
