Paradigms and Dimensions
A paradigm is a set of assumptions that define how we look at the world. An example of a paradigm is that we all thought that the world was flat and accepted this as true. Then, along comes Columbus and he discovers the world is round and not flat at all. This sent everyone up in arms, saying this is impossible and crazy. We succumbed and had to adjust to a new perspective. The new thought was the world was indeed round. We had to let go of the old belief of the world being flat. A dimension encompasses entire realities that overlap each other. Dimensions are based on the frequency of vibration. The dimensions, also, get lighter in density as the frequency accelerates faster. The lower the frequency, the more dense the matter, the lower amount of cognitive understanding. Here are some descriptions for the different dimensions: 1st Dimension - The Mineral Kingdom - The heaviest dimension. 2nd Second Dimension - The Plant Kingdom 3rd Dimension - The Animal Kingdom - The lower to mid-level intelligence of the Human Species. This thought process is about survival and is centered around the "I" self - eat, drink, sleep and provide for oneself. This is where the majority of the human race has resided. It is "Ego" based in time, space, direction and it represents: Past, Present and Future Karma (Cause and effect) Separateness (Instead of Inclusiveness) 4th Dimension - We have now begun the shift of a higher frequency and vibration. This shift requires us to become more evolved, so that we may adjust and adapt to this forward movement. The fourth Dimension starts a REVOLUTION OF THOUGHT - a paradigm, which is how we look at the world and an EVOLUTION OF SPECIES. Some say this may actually be altering our human bodies anatomy and creating more strands of DNA to help us evolve. This frequency shift is part of what we are feeling as in the example that time is going way too fast. And, the once clear lines between past, present, and future are diminishing. We are learning to "live in the now". What we once knew as real and true is changing by the day. We are being shown that we are responsible for our actions and we are asked to take a look at our choices. We have to change our behavior from neglect and disregard for the earth and all of its inhabitances on it. We have become "greed" based and cavalier with an attitude of say-la-vie. This attitude, my friends, is no longer going to be. We are to correct this behavior in the Fourth Dimensional frequency or cease to exist. Our beliefs are being challenged, so we can come into a new way of living and understanding. Remember, things have to break down, so we can rebuild a new healthy society. Until we start to change ourselves individually and collectively and start working towards a cooperative, global world, things will continue to deteriorate until we get it. We determine how far we fall and how soon we start to pick everything up. We are all good at cooperative rebuilding, as we have seen this in crisis after crisis. The outpouring of compassion and our tenacity to help thy neighbor shows up in contribution every time. And, this very thing is what we are called to do NOW! We will pretty much stay in the Fourth Dimension for a while as this is where we will have opened our minds to all working together for the common good of all living things. A new rebuilding will be taking place in every aspect of our society. In the Fourth Dimension, you learn about your true self and live it. We start to change our thought process from apathetic beliefs to positive possibilities, so as to create an outcome we are looking for. We learn that we create our own Universe and we can change it anytime, so we must start to break down our belief systems because they are limiting and no longer serve our purpose. We become "open" to "new" thought. We go to and out of the box thinking and start working from our intuition so that we can create a sustainable world. Our thought process is no longer limited and we realize: We Are Not In Kansas Anymore TOTO! We Are In A Brave New World!! When these changes have become second nature to us and we have made this a part of our reality, we are then able to experience the Fifth Dimension and up. The frequency shift here becomes fluid and we are able to go back and forth into the different levels of understanding. This all happens because we are keeping our perspectives open to new ideas and are firmly grounded in the energy of the Fourth Dimensional perspective of peace. In the Fifth Dimension, we are able to experience and create manifestation and co-creation; however, you must first believe in the power of your thoughts that all things are possible. Our desires are clear and open to creating. So, you must believe undeniably in what you are creating. You are able to send out the intention in thought, word, and deed. It starts to manifest. We create our own experiences. You will, also, be able to watch it in motion without doing anything. Quite remarkable! This energy comes from a high frequency of Fifth Dimension and above. It is blended opaque energy of white haze that is very fast giving you an image of your thought and then through your interpretation of this picture an answer comes. I have had this experience a few times where I just desired something and I watched the process while the energy started manifesting. It was doing creating through my thoughts. I just sat and watched the show, so to speak. It's like a musical orchestration. It is magical. I can say, it can be almost like jumping into a picture like in the movie Mary Poppins. This happened coming out of being in a physical location that carried this frequency and being with a group of higher consciousness people. This was an incredible experience. We are now being asked to be open in our perspective and to believe in things that we can't see. Why? Because we are asked to learn to count on our intuition. It's not just seeing is believing, it is, also, a gut level feeling and a knowing that you experience internally. We are asked to eliminate all judgments of others and start creating a global love and appreciation for all mankind. In conclusion, it is our responsibility to make our individual changes. We are asked to expand our minds and our hearts, so we are an example to others. In my opinion, I believe that even though it may seem like dark times, it is up to us to make it brighter no matter what the challenges are. Let's hold the candle of light and kindle the next person's candle beside us and continue to pass this flame on until one day we have created a world of peace. All of this does not have to be a dream. Together and collectively, we can make this a reality. Remember: You Fight Dark With Light and Fear With Love... Jodi Hershey JOYJourneyOfYou.com

Chakra Meditation
This is a specific Chakra Meditation and not for all Chakras at one time. Each Chakra has its own context individually, as well as its contribution to the whole. I am starting this with your Root Chakra because almost every issue starts with survival, safety and our place in the world. This is one we could do every morning to stay grounded throughout our day. Root Chakra – 1st Chakra Color Red: This Chakra provides grounding, stability, stamina, motivation, self- confidence, purpose, passion and excitement. 1st Chakra physically relates to legs, feet, base of spine, bones,and kidneys. If Root Chakra is imbalanced, you may experience or develop these symptoms: Instability, insecurity, weight loss/gain, constipation, arthritis, spinal tension and knee problems. Meditation You may want to purchase these items to enhance this meditation. Some are available at joyjourneyofyou.com 1. Sage smudge stick or aromatherapy spray for cleansing your aura 2. Root Chakra Aromatherapy Oil 3. A Root Chakra Chime which is tuned to the Root Charka frequency 4. A Root Chakra Stone – You can pick any of these: Red Jasper, Bloodstone or others provided at the end or others provided at the end of this article. To start our Meditation, let's prepare and clear your space. Let's begin: Burn your sage smudge stick or use a cleansing sage smudge spray to clear your space and the energy around your body. Then, take out your Root Chakra Oil and put a few drops in your hands, rub your hands together, lift it to your face and breathe in. If you have a Root Chakra Chime, you can sound that softly now (3) times. If you would like to use a Root Chakra Stone, I would buy flat stones if placing on your body. Pick one that feels the best to you. Put on some healing music with no words, just sound. Pick something that you resonate with. This helps you relax and it nurtures you as you go into discovery. Lie down in a comfortable place. Close your eyes and slowly take (3) deep breaths, in and out. Begin Your Breath Work: Breathe in visualizing the figure 8. Start at the top of your chest, go across right to left. Then, circle around under the breast, then around the stomach and then back up and around. Do this (8) times. Next, visualize the Star of David. It is two triangles overlapping each other with the points going in opposite directions. This symbolizes as above (in heaven), so below (on earth). We are tying the energies into each other. This helps you to stay grounded and at the same time asking to receive higher information. Start to let go of all other thoughts. Every time a distracting thought starts to come into your head, say to yourself the word "PEACE", you can even sing it in your head, whatever will stop the chatter. This will halt the thought and bring you back to quieting your mind. Keep breathing as your mind quiets down. Ask your intuition or higher-self to guide you through this process and show you the message to heal this particular area/issue that is bothering you. Call in your Healing Angels and ask them to help you see what you need to know. You may not feel them, but that doesn't mean that they are not there. You just may not have discovered them yet. Call them in any way, they will come. They don't have to be recognized, but they like it when they are acknowledged. Begin your mental scan with your feet, up to your tail bone and then the pubic area. Anywhere there is a pain, breath red energy into that specific area. Rub a small amount of your Root Chakra Aromatherapy Oil softly in a clockwise circular motion on that spot. Ask your intuition what is it that this pain is showing you to work on in order to unblock this Chakra. Lay quietly for a few minutes. See what comes through. It may be a word, a picture or story – just be open to listening, feeling and seeing pictures in your minds eye. If you don't hear, feel or see anything, it's ok. Just stay open as an answer may come later that day or in a few days. Just be aware of what you asked and look deeper for the message. After when you feel you are done, slowly come out of your mind's eye and back into your body. Then breath in the Root Chakra Aromatherapy Oil and say your Root Chakra Affirmation: I am safe and protected by Mother Earth. She is providing me with energy, inner strength and courage. I am filled with stability and vitality to go out into the world today and know I am at my best. The warm red color of the earth will keep me grounded. Then, visually have your Healing Angels bath your body in red beautiful flowing light. Thank them for being there. You may use your Chakra Chime softly now (3) times to close. Close your Meditation with these words: I will stay open to hear or see the messages brought to me today and the days to come. I will continually check in with my Root Chakra. I send love and gratitude to my Healing Angels for what is being shown to me. Take one more breath in of the Chakra Oil, then say to yourself: My intention is to heal and open my Root Chakra. I will continue to send healing, flowing light to my Root Chakra, so that it is opened to be in alignment with the rest of my Chakras. AND SO IT IS!!!! You can wear the color representing the Chakra you are working on to strengthen and reinforce the energy of that particular problem. You can wear it in a scarf, blouse, shirt, necklace, bracelet, rings, etc. You can repeat this Mediation process with the other Chakras, as needed. In my book – The Call of the Day – you can find the other Chakra Affirmations. If you wish to use the Chakra Chimes and oils, you can find all of this on my website: joyjourneyofyou.com Here are some stones that you can use in this meditations for each particular Chakra: Root – Here are a few more: Hematite, Tigers Eyes, Ruby or Garnet Navel – Yellow Amber Heart – Emerald, Malachite or Rose Quartz Throat – Turquoise or Blue Topaz Third Eye – Lapis or Sapphire Crown – Amethyst, Diamond or Quart Crystal ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY… Jodi Hershey
My Morning Ritual
I always give myself extra time in the morning so I don’t have to rush. That extra 30 minutes really helps. 1. As I am waking up - I sit in bed and do the Om Sound. This wakes up the body in a natural and happy way. The body loves to hear it’s own sound. I think of it sometimes as a whale call, it’s very nurturing and soothing. 2. Then of course Morning Joe - or hot herbal tea. 3. I go back to my sitting place get comfortable then read from one of my books. a. Books - Feeling Great or Inside Out by Dadi Janki. (If you want these books I can get them for you. Send a message through by clicking Here.) b. I just open the book to a random page and start reading; it usually is just what I need to hear. c. Then I take some deep breaths and sit with that message for a while. 4. It is important to ground ourselves into mother earth. This keeps us clear through out the day. So, I take my Earth Tuning Fork and strike it and put the point of fork on the top of the foot (can be the LV3 which is the acupuncture point between the big toe and second toe about ½” to 1” down towards the body. Do this as much as you feel you need to. Start with 2x’s on each foot until you get used to it. (See my YouTube video for the spot.)Always use your intuition and self-knowing to decide on what you need. 5. Then use your Root Chakra Chime (Red chime or Note C) - Lightly tap the chime and play it from the feet up to the crown of the head. Pass the chimes by the ears no closer than shoulder distance. Strike the chime as many times as you feel necessary. You can do a figure eight from the feet up across the stomach up around the head and back down. 6. Next do the same with the Solar Plexus Chime (Yellow chime or Note E). This is where we store our emotions so it is important to clear. If you feel you need another chakra chime to use - say you want to have an open heart (Chakra 4 or Sound F), or need to be able to speak (Chakra 5 or Sound G) - don’t hesitate to put in the chimes you want as well. 7. Then pick up your Tibetan Bowl (Sound E) to open up to your intuition. As you strike the bowl really listen to the sound opening up your awareness. 8. Use your Crown Tuning Fork next - As you sound the fork, ask the spirit to work with you today. To guide you in seeing all possibilities. 9. Close with your Clearing Energy Spray (to clear any unwanted excess energy) and one of your Roll on Chakra Oils. One you feel you need or will uplift you for the day. 10. Use an affirmation like:“I’m going to have a good and positive day.“Now you are ready to Rock and Roll!!!Have a Blessed Day.
