Ascension (Expansion) Basics by Rev Vickie Hahn
In ancient
times only those who were later referred to as masters chose
to ascend. Ascend, “means to climb to a relatively higher
position, rise by process of growth, to proceed from
inferior to superior, to rise in degree of characteristic
quality, to move up to a higher point in consciousness and
conquering.” It held a spiritual meaning, of becoming one
with God, releasing the “ego” and all ties to the earthly
plane. The process took many years of dedication to achieve,
and only those that were pure of heart were able to reach
the state of true ascension which entailed enlightenment,
bliss and unconditional love. They were tested many times
throughout their journey before they could finally reached
their destiny. It held a great honor to those that chose or
were chosen to go through this process.
Today, the
process is similar in some aspects, yet in other ways quite
different. I will attempt to give you a general overview of
what is happening, what I have read, and am personally
experiencing. The purpose of this information is to break
down the concepts so it can be easily understood by many. My
information is coming directly from God and the angelic
realm, as I do not channel any other entities that I am
aware of. Please feel free to disregard all that doesn’t
“feel” right to you, and keep what is useful. You have a
brilliant mind and you should do your own research, as well
as tap into your own energetic body to get a true sense of
your truth.
We were
born of light, meaning of God, and at one time the earth and
her inhabitants were of light knowing no fear. Then
gradually through the centuries we as a human race began to
fear, became greedy and had the need to control which
created even more wars and strife amongst ourselves. Our
bodies began to change to correlate with this way of being
(our vibration changed to a lower octave. Vibrations are the
energy oscillations that fluctuate rapidly; everything is
vibration in form and formlessness. The more dense the form,
the slower the vibration, for example ice has a very slow
vibration, water has a moderate vibration, and air has a
very fast vibration.
God
created the earth of darkness and light so we could
experience polarity which is the extreme opposites of each
other. For instance darkness and light, negative and
positive, fear and faith, hot and cold. We as a race began
to experience the earth in a duality format. Experiencing in
a dual aspect separates us from God however, which was never
the intent. Instead of being “one” with each other and God,
we began to feel more separate, and then because of our
separateness, we began to fear more, and well you see the
cycle. Duality denotes the separation of two opposites and
places those characteristics into two different forms as we
experience everything in duality based on the polarity
scale. If one is too far in the negative side (fear) they
have difficulty experiencing the positive side (faith), and
if one is too positive, they often never see the negative.
We all have experienced many negative events in life which
left emotional scars. Until we accept that we do indeed have
both a negative or “shadow” side of self and a positive or
“light” side of self, we will continue to strive to be of
light, love and faith, and feel like life is a great
struggle.
Through
generations this fear and negativity was passed down. We now
live in a fear based society and our own inner belief
systems have become made up of fears and negativity. Some of
our beliefs are so hidden that we are not aware of them. As
we experienced the traumas of life as in being abused
physically, emotionally, being raped, molested, neglected,
or through over attentive and controlling parents and
society we began to “reprogram” who we were, the dramas of
life, we develop new fear based beliefs, often the root core
is of not being enough yet can branch off to many other
little beliefs that hold much power. This is not what God
wants us to instill in our hearts. You may say that I don’t
have those beliefs, I have a good self esteem, yet if you
look deeper within you know that shows up as a lie every
time that you become angry at someone, or upset by someone
else’s behavior. We develop a story of how the other person
is doing us harm and hold that story deep inside. We then
become our story.
We view
the world around us through our “story” glasses which is
actually just our “reprogrammed” beliefs mirroring back to
us. Every action we have with another human is viewed
through these “story” glasses. We try so hard to be more
positive, more compassionate, yet until we can remove our
distorted glasses we will fall back into the same routine.
God’s plan
is to bring the entire planet into alignment with His light
and is extending His grace once again to us to save us from
our own destruction and the destruction of the earth which
is the course we have been on for some time. He is providing
us the opportunity to release our old belief system and
embrace all that we truly are: beings of unconditional love,
peaceful and in harmony.
So how can
God achieve completion of His plan? He sent scouts out to
bring light and healing to the world. These scouts some say
held a special “indigo” vibration of light and love. Yet
when these scouts began their human life, over time their
bodies took on the heavier fear energy due to what they
experienced. Their vibration became lower, they closed off
their gifts in order to “survive” and their emotional body
became plugged with the new “fear based” belief systems that
they developed. Now their light, which is still there. is
laying dormant was awaiting to be cleared and awakened.
God began
sending more “higher vibrational” beings to the earth and
encouraged us to release our fear based emotional body and
belief systems. Years ago only the “yogi’s” and those that
were extremely dedicated to ascension chose the life path to
reach the enlightened stage. Today the process is quite
different. It is called “ascension” and many of us have been
going through this process for quite some time now. The
first three waves of ascension affected those that came in
with the higher vibration so they could clear their
consciousness and anchor in their crystalline body and hold
the vibration for others to awaken. Many were called
“healers or lightworkers” and learn practices such as Reiki
as tools to teach and assist others.
I am of
the third wave of light workers and have been going through
the “ascension” process for four years now. To date those
that went through this process chose it at some level and
had wanted to be “healers” of sort. Now, I am being told
what we call “ordinary” people, those who have not signed up
to be a light worker, are beginning to awaken to their light
body self by going through the ascension process. If we, the
light workers who study metaphysics, spirituality, have
traveled to multiple dimensions, found ourselves at a lost
to say the least, can you imagine what it must feel like to
the average Joe?
Ascension
is the awakening to consciousness. It is the process of
changing one’s consciousness from one reality, based on
one’s sets of beliefs, to another. On a group or planetary
level, ascension is the collective expansion state of
consciousness to the point that another reality is created.
Our bodies begin to expand during the ascension process and
I have named this in-scension. We need to go inward for this
expansion to occur. Many believed that we needed to release
the body to ascend. In my minds eye I had pictured one who
was able to levitate out of the body as one who was
ascending. Many of us found a safe haven in floating outside
of the body and like a stubborn child who won’t eat his
spinach refuse to fully come back and reside in your body.
It is very important for you to know this – we MUST ascend
in our bodies! It is imperative to learn how to be in your
body, to make friends with your body and to find the safe
haven within your body. Today’s ascension is within the body
that is why I am referring to it as in-scension – from
within not externally.
Ascension
(expansion) affects our physical body because it is being
stretched and re-wired, it is going through a detoxing
process of releasing all that is no longer useful (there
will be more on this process at a later date). Our emotional
body is being shaken up, old issues and emotional blocks are
being brought to the surface to clear. We are being forced
to deal with all the back burner issues so we can release,
heal and expand to our true selves. Our very belief systems
are irrupting in our spiritual body. We discover beliefs
that we weren’t even aware of and are given the opportunity
to heal them on a deep level.
So what
does the ascension or awakening process feel like? The key
to that question is the word “feel”. We as humans began to
numb out to our feelings and emotions eons ago. For some,
taking the time to actually “feel” is a fate worse than
death. For me, I am an empath. An empath is one that not
only feels their own feelings and emotions, but can actually
feel others emotions as well as the animals and the earth. I
can detect the slightest change in the earth’s atmosphere,
like some can smell rain on the horizon. It is my opinion
that many have this gift, yet because it can be so
overwhelming at times, chose to turn it off. For me, in 2003
after I came out of my “numbed” state, I found myself over
sensitized. I didn’t know what to do about it – and the over
stimulation of all around me would bring me to my knees at
times. I could no longer stand to go out in public, to go
shopping, malls were a disaster! Being around too many
people just left me drained. It wasn’t until this last year
I realized what was happening to me was part of the
ascension process.
A funny
thing happened to me on the way to my breakdown, I began to
heal.
For me, I
was in a state of confusion. After my 2003 trip to Sedona, I
flew higher than a kite and began to experience life on
another dimension. I felt light and bright, and held so much
compassion and love in me and for others. Yes! I thought,
this is the right path for me. I must admit that I had many
trials and tribulations that first year. I began a contested
divorce, was faced with raising my two sons on my own, and
was trying to financially scribble out some sort of life.
Yet on the other end of the scale, I was for the first time
in my life finding the real me, discovering that I had many
gifts and talented that were buried. Even through all these
obstacles, I soared with the angels. My fibromyalgia became
virtually non-existent with only an occasional flair up for
a day or two.
Then out
of no where it seemed, I suddenly became very tired in the
spring of 2004. Bone weary tired. It was all I could do to
drag myself out of bed and drag to work. I would come home
for lunch and take a nap, go back to work, push myself to
finish the day, then when I got off of work, I would lay
down again for a nap before I cooked supper. The mere effort
of warming up canned goods would exhaust me again and by
8:00 I would be back in bed. This continued for six weeks. I
knew that I was under stress, to say the least with my new
life style and the divorce, yet couldn’t quite figure out
why it was hitting me so hard. After three weeks I became
concerned and called the doctor. Now, I should say that I am
not one to go to the doctor, they are fine, and I have a
really nice doctor, yet for me it seems to be the last
resort. I was convinced that I had something seriously wrong
with me. He did a full blood workup on me and the results
came back fine – there was nothing medically wrong with me.
With no medical reason for this exhaustion I began to doubt
and became harder on myself. I began to push myself to stay
up later and get more done, yet this only made me feel
worse. Ironically after battling this exhaustion for six
weeks an amazing miracle happened. I was at work and went
down to check out a co-workers computer. I sat in his
office, looking at his computer and something made me look
him in the eye and say, “so, I hear you are mad at God”. His
face just dropped in amazement of my perception, yet he was
open to discuss the issue. I told him of my trip to Sedona,
told him what I had learned so far and asked if I could show
him what energy felt like. He agreed and I remembered
praying, “God, there isn’t much energy in here, I am about
bone dry and exhausted, but if you could stir up a little to
flow out of my hands, just so he can experience it, I would
be most grateful.” When I touched his hands with mine, we
both started to experience the most amazing phenomenon. I
felt the exhaustion leave my body and he began to feel the
energy, see colors and went to a place of deep healing.
Twenty minutes later, my energy was restored and he saw me
glowing. I saw a new light in him. This event forever
changed both of our lives. I did not know at the time why I
was so exhausted, or that I needed that rest, for I was
being re-wired.
Another
thing I noticed was my inability to stay grounded. One
minute I would be firmly planted in the earth and the next
minute whoosh! I was feeling very spacey and couldn’t
coherently carry a conversation. Of course for many, they
prefer to not be grounded, yet through my studies I knew
this wasn’t always the safe way to be. Also, not being
grounded led to memory loss, and an inability to function
normally.
Often one
moment I would feel fine and next I would be disoriented.
Not knowing where I was, a sense of losing my place. This
was much easier though than feeling like I was in a pressure
cooker. I felt the energy so intense inside and outside of
me that my eyes would feel dry and it was so draining. I
would go over my life and could not find anything that was
happening to correlate this feeling with. It could last for
days, then suddenly it was like someone let the steam off
and I would collapse into exhaustion once again.
I would go
from one day feeling peaceful to the next very angry,
finding myself barking at anyone close. Puzzled by this
anger I would go deeper inside of myself to try and find the
source. I felt like I was manic depressive and was ready to
head off to the doctor again until I had an enlightening
conversation with my friend Jane. She too was experiencing
these symptoms and not knowing why. Soon we figured out that
we basically felt them at the same time. If I was crazy, I
had a partner in crime to be crazy with me too! I branched
out through my teaching and became aware that many of my
students were in tuned to these energies too. Wow!
There is
no defined set of steps to take on this path of ascension.
At best it feels topsy turvy and if left unaware can make
you feel like you are ready for that nice white jacket in
that soft padded cell! Your number one tool however is
awareness. Armed with awareness, and be willing to surrender
to the process will be the steady steed to see you safely
home.
Teaching
Reiki and holistic classes are my passion. As I reach out
and touch another, see that spark of hope, see that healing
in them, my heart just swells. What we as a collective
consciousness are experiencing is real and you can run but
you can’t hide. If you are drawn to this section then you
too are experiencing the changes of the earth and the
changes within. There are many resources out there for the
ascension process, some can be quite complicated. My goal is
to reach out to you with WINGS, Waking Inner New Growth
Spiritually, to be your guide to help you clear and heal, to
support you through this process. A good friend keeps
talking about the KISS method, keep it simple silly! It has
taken me an considerable amount of research time to design a
way to offer you help on your journey and to keep it simple.
I ask for a donation only to help support the work that I am
doing so I can continue to offer my services to many. If you
find that you are financially unable to donate please
contact me directly and I will work out an energy exchange.
May you greatly be blessed on this journey, may you release,
heal and emerge from your cocoon into the glorious monarch
butterfly that you are. And may you be blessed each step of
the way.
With love,
Vickie
