You are Perfect

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 01:51:28 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/you-are-perfect/I hear people saying ‘I am not perfect’ and ‘no one is perfect’ all of the time and it is irritating because it is not true.
Everyone is perfect – all the time. No matter who they are or where they are in their life.

The word perfect has been given a context that is not aligned with its original meaning and when you understand the true meaning of ‘perfect’ you will realize that not only are you perfect now, you have always been perfect, and there is no more perfect version of you than that which exists right now.

Because I study words and their meanings and usage as a hobby, it’s called lexicology etymology, I frequently research how words are used versus their origins and what they actually mean. And because I speak multiple languages, I also pay attention to how they are derived from and used in different languages.

Let’s look at the word ‘perfect’. To research it I asked 3 questions:

Where does it come from?
What does it mean?
How does its true meaning differ from how it is used today?

First, where does the word ‘perfect’ come from? It was first used around 1250AD and is from the Latin word ‘perfectus’, which means ‘finished’ or ‘completed.’

What does ‘perfect’ mean in its original context? That something is finished or completed. In Latin, perfectus is the past participle of the verb ‘perficere’ which means to finish. So if ‘perficere’ means to finish, then perfectus means it is finished.

This brings us to the third question – how does its true meaning and original use differ from the current meaning and usage of the word ‘perfect?’

How did we get from ‘finished’ to the best that can possibly be, which is what we imply when we use the word perfect today. And this is why we say that ‘we are not perfect’ and that ’nobody is perfect’.

March 2026 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 4 Mar 2026 00:09:52 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/march-2026-energy-report/ ‎March is the only month whose name is an action word. It is also the natural start of the new year, which begins on the spring equinox, March 20 this year. That is the day when the Sun reaches the Zero Point, at 0 Aries. And what is happening at the point right now? Yes we have Neptune there and we did have Saturn there too just recently . And in March we’ll have other planets at that point. Plus a game changing eclipse.

This is the annual starting line, the reboot, and the astrological birthday, so let’s celebrate.

March is the 3rd month of the year and in 2026 it is a 4 year. 4 is the number of stability, structure, and grounding. There are 4 elements – water, fire, earth, and air. There are 4 seasons, 4 quarters in an annual cycle. 4 is the number of completion and of balance.

With 4 we feel structured, grounded, and are standing on a stable foundation, , and it is fitting that we have a 4 month in March.
The March energy theme reflects that with a theme of Rebirth, Reckoning, and Re-Structuring.

We have rebirth with spring when all of nature returns to life after hibernating over a long, cold winter.

We have a Reckoning as we make careful, deliberate, intentional choices about our life path. This includes where we are now and where we want to be, who gets access to us and our energy, where we spend our time, energy, and effort, and how we manage our energy resources.

Re-structuring refers to how we will build our lives, and instead of choosing a random path, we have to become architects of our reality. With a focus on the path we can become victims to destiny, uncertainty, surprises, and unexpected events. As architects of our reality we have a design, a plan, and a vision of the outcome. There’s room for course correction but far fewer surprises and upsets.

Greed, Grift, and Glamour - The fall of the For Profit Spiritual Industry

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 21:32:02 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/greed-grift-graft-spiritual-industry/We are watching, in real time, the collapse of the guru era — the for-profit spiritual industry built on glamour, paid access, and manufactured enlightenment. This is not only about Deepak Chopra’s infamous relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, although that plays a part.
For nearly two decades I’ve witnessed people pour their faith, money, and power into authors and teachers who positioned themselves as the sole keepers of truth.
I knew it could not and would not last, something I have been saying for many years. I have been part of the spiritual world longer than most of the people who are now writing public apologies. While others built high-ticket empires and declared themselves enlightened, I did my work quietly, consistently, and with integrity. I turned down publishers, refused to share stages with those I thought were fraudsters, and never sold access to myself as a product.

So this moment of reckoning does not surprise me. The truth always rises. And the collapse of the guru economy was inevitable. Now the curtain has finally been pulled back and people are left wondering whom to trust.

My work as a spiritual mentor, teacher, and guide began by accident, first in 1991 when I started a spiritual group in Houston, Texas that quickly grew to include hundreds of members. Then in 2004, when I answered a calling that required me to give up a career I loved in business and technology. I never saw myself as a ‘leader,’ I did not want to be a ‘guru,’ I just wanted to help people find their own path and learn how to be in control of their own energy.

Since 2004 I have written 8 books, all self-published, all best sellers. No ‘famous’ author has ever written a promotional blurb for me, I was not part of their crowd. I have written over 5000 articles, started the first internet-based live weekly broadcast in March 2004 that I still host today. I started teaching online courses in March 2004, an early pioneer in online training.

I have millions of followers and students – but I do not have millions of social media followers.
You have probably never heard of me, and I am OK with that.

February 2026 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 1 Feb 2026 21:47:35 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/february-2026-energy-report/What do you think is possible when a month starts with every personal planet in Aquarius and a full moon in Leo, and those aspects have only happened 3 times in 2500 years -- 85, 1300, and 1772, (since 500 BC which is when recorded astrology began)?

And that is not all. We have Saturn entering Aries for the first time since 1996, a Saturn/Neptune conjunction at the 0 Aries Point – the start of the zodiac – and has never happened in recorded history. And there is an eclipse too.

To add to the mix of energies in February, Mercury will be going retrograde in Pisces to establish yet another Alpha Omega Portal. It’s going to be month to remember. You heard it here first.

February is a 3 month – the number of creativity. February is the 2nd month (2) and 2026 is a 1 year, 2 + 1 = 3. 3 represents creativity, communication, first stage expansion – beyond limitation, and a new level of awareness. So if you are feeling creative, do something about it. Take an art or a dance class, take up photography, make something, cook, bake, or explore new places.

February will feel like the real beginning of 2026. And if 2025 was a limiting year for you, then 2026 will be expansive – at least it has the potential to be. How and if that happens is up to you. And if you didn’t feel it in January, don’t worry, that is not what the rest of the year will be like. January was still holding dense energy from 2025 and with a heavy Capricorn signature, it was not going to be a very fun month.

January 2026 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 04:46:03 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/january-2025-energy-report/Happy New Year! What a big shift moving into 2026 has been. It was a little hard for me to adjust to this lighter, more powerful energy. Was it for you too? I usually have the January Energy Report and the new year predictions ready to post on January 1 but not this year. I am finally re-grounding from celebration mode because I am so relieved and happy that 2025 is over. And I know I am not alone.

We are in a new energy cycle and January is the first month so that sets us on a new trajectory. Avoid thinking too much about all the things you do not want to do in 2026, all of the challenges you overcame, and all of the trauma of 2025. 2026 is not like 2025 or any year before it. It’s a new paradigm that is a fresh start so gear up, lights up, and wings out.

It’s a new paradigm, a new energy cycle, a new portal, and we’re ready to soar. You can read the rest of the January 2026 Energy Report on the website blog page at this link.

2026 Predictions

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 22:43:18 +0000

https://enlighteninglif.samcart.com/products/gps-2026-programIt’s officially the end of 2025 and while you may be glad to see this year end, don’t spend too much time dwelling on what happened in the past because what you must do now is focus forward in the present. If 2025 was a year of clarity, disclosure, uncomfortable truths, and uncertainty in the face of assumed paradigms being disrupted beyond repair, you got powerful insights into what is not working and cannot work moving forward.

This year’s 2026 message is different from what I have published since 2008. Rather publishing predictions, I am giving you some resources to make the most of the powerful paradigm shift that 2026 represents. And my GPS 2026 program is available too. It includes my High Vibes Wealth™ Living program, my popular Manifestation framework, with a 12 month guided planner and monthly calls. The opening of this new energy cycle is so important that I want to be part of that journey with you. Details are on the website at this link.

If you are feeling a little overwhelmed by what happened in 2025, it’s to be expected. It was a year of reckoning that lived up to its ‘9’ symbology – closure and endings. We learned a lot in 2025, about who people really are, who was our friend and who was not, how we cannot turn relatives into ‘family’, how our assumptions of behavior because of ‘labels’ can create a lot of chaos, and that we had to make choices for our own benefit, without considering what others wanted or needed.

December 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 6 Dec 2025 00:24:17 +0000

It’s here, the end of the year and it is more than just a date. In December we complete several important energy cycles and prepare for new adventures in 2026. We now have Saturn and Neptune direct in Pisces, completing their rare and powerful transit. Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, carefully holding space for our spiritual growth as we went through the tumultuous aspects of 2012 and then 2020 through 2025. Its mission in protecting and supporting our ascension cycle is complete and it moves into Aries to support our new integrated ascension path.
So it’s fitting that December is a double 3 energy – 12th month is a 3 and December 2025 is a 3 as 12 + 9 = 21, 2 + 1 = 3. And in the tarot 21 is the World card, the final card in the major arcana. We also have a triple 3 on December 3 and 30, which we also had this year on March 30 and 30. This has definitely been a year for mastery and we are approaching the end so it’s time to wrap it up and prepare for something new.
33 is the number of mastery but this is less about accomplishment than it is achievement. We achieve mastery with understanding and knowledge, and often acceptance. For many years, since 2004, I have said that our toughest lesson is acceptance and we have certainly had that in 2025. Mastery may feel like failure when our mastery includes lessons in clarity, energetic misalignment, and the realization that our relatives will never be ‘family.’ Or that the people we have tried so hard to bring to the light prefer to be in darkness. Mastery isn’t a victory that we win, it’s a new level of self-awareness that we achieve when we learn to manage and control our energy and focus on our joy and fulfillment.

November 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 1 Nov 2025 21:03:55 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/november-2025-energy-report/This year has been a struggle for me and I know for many of you. For me it was the first year in 7 years that I have not been in constant, horrible pain. That finally ended in December 2024 but getting back to a normal daily routine has been a struggle. I was dealing with the pain for so long that my normal routine had to be abandoned for what I could do. So this year has been a catch-up and I am finally getting to the point where I can feel productive and motivated again.

And how fitting that it happens in this November with its double 11 vibration. It’s the 11th month and 2025 + 11 = 11. This means more emphasis on new beginnings, new pathways, and exploring new potentials. It doesn’t mean having to do your life over as we never start from zero. It means learning to let go of what you can no longer serve and start serving your own needs.

What do you want? What would bring joy to your life? What does a joyful, stress-free and challenge free life look like? The karma cycles that have kept us in energetic bondage for lifetimes are unraveling as we see in the end of relationships that are now well and truly over, rather than in the way you have been trying to get them to go.

That especially includes the relatives you call ‘family’ and have been trying to create your definition of family with. How many of you now realize that you can no longer get these people to become the family you want to have? Once you release your expectations you can see if a new type of relationship can be created – but don’t hold your breath. And remember that your mother, father, siblings, and close relatives are your first line of karma partners. Keep that in mind if you see an implosion happening with them, when you learn

Family, Relatives and the new Energy Communities

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 23:34:40 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/toxic-family-new-energy-community/ For 15 years I have been talking about how we are creating space for our energetic family and we have been seeing examples of that happening. Whether it has fully happened for you yet, is just a matter of time. Like a slowly approaching tide, the truth that we have been trying our best to avoid is here.
For decades and lifetimes we have been working hard to bring our karma group to the light. These are the people you can ‘family’ in this lifetime. And for decades and lifetimes they have resisted our efforts, often in devastating ways. But we are at an energetic crossroads and it is time to make a decision that will change our lives from this moment forward.

The karma ties that bind us to the people we call our family, the biological ties that we assume to also imply emotional commitment, are unraveling and with it, the dawning realization that we can no longer bring light to people who prefer to be in the dark.

The illusion of family that we have held for so long through our sole efforts is crumbling beneath the weight of the darkness we thought we had to endure to fulfill this mission. In its place we will form energetic families, our 5D communities, people who are aligned with us energetically, who truly ‘love, honor, and respect’ us. People who can appreciate us and who value who we are, our light, and our efforts.
On an emotional level this can be difficult. On an energetic level, though, it is something whose time has come.

If you have been frustrated, saddened, and even traumatized by people who do not value you, who dismiss, betray, abandon, and reject you, a change is coming. It means that you will have to abandon some dreams and goals while simultaneously welcoming others. It is not a time to grieve – you have done your best to achieve the impossible. Instead, celebrate your release from the commitments that have bound you to lifetimes of sacrifice while enjoying the change that will come from having relationships that are easy, fun, fulfilling, and joyful.

October 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 4 Oct 2025 02:36:41 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/octobe-2025-energy-report/The first thing I noticed about October is the double 10 energy. October is the 10th month and October 2025 is a 10 (10 + 2025 = 10). Remember in numerology you break numbers down to single digits between 1 and 9. After the double 9 of September, which created completion, closure, and release, October’s 10 energy means action, movement, and reclamation. 10 is the staff of action, 1, with the 0 of potential. 0 is not ‘nothing’, it is no thing, pure potential waiting for us to set an intention for energy to manifest.

And one more thing about October, in the midst of the action, the month opens with the moon in Capricorn, harkening back to the heavy Capricorn action we had from 2020 to 2024 with both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and the infamous Saturn/Pluto conjunction of March 2020. This is not a dire prediction of bringing back the restrictions, evil, and 3D energies of that time. Rather it’s time for reckoning, not reconciliation and I believe that in October we are going to see many examples of reckoning and retribution.

October’s full moon on the 6th is a call to action, taking us from the heavy lessons of Virgo and Pisces in August and September to the bold, brave action of Aries with some cautions. It is not the time to go blasting off into the stratosphere; rather, it’s time to make careful plans and focus on elevation, rather than escape. Take the careful planning of Virgo, together with the highest potential of Pisces and use that to plan deliberate, intentional action.

Disappointed or Inconvenienced

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 8 Sep 2025 23:22:46 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/disappoint-inconvenience2/When talking to clients who are preparing to make big life changes, especially those who are kind hearted, gentle, forgiving, and compassionate empaths (which includes many of you), they will inevitably say that they don't want to disappoint someone in their life, who may not like or appreciate the changes they are considering.
It can be disappointing to someone who is very connected to us and who counts on us and our presence in their lives to have that suddenly disappear when we are unavailable to meet or serve their needs. But are they really disappointed, in the real sense of the word, or just inconvenienced because now what they depended on you for has to be done by someone else, or they have to do it themselves?
Disappointment or inconvenience -- there is a huge difference that you should know so you make choices that serve you and your intention from an empowered, guilt-free and shame free perspective with your energy resources intact and standing on the firm platform of your energy boundaries.
What is the difference between disappointment and inconvenience? For example, if I invited you to attend an event with me, was looking forward to spending time with you, thought that you would enjoy yourself, and knew that we would have a great time together., and you couldn't go, I would be disappointed because I really wanted to spend time with you.
But, if I had an invitation to an event, needed someone to go with, asked you because I thought you would be available and then you cancelled, I would be inconvenienced (but say that I was disappointed) because now I need to find someone else to go with me or go by myself.

September 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 2 Sep 2025 02:03:10 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/september-2025-energy-report/Some months carry such a big energy signature that they announce their arrival days or weeks before they begin. I have been feeling the shift in energy as September approaches for the past two weeks. It’s the reason I moved all of the furniture in my office around, move the supplies and fulfillment for my Peau D’Ange Skin Care to a bigger space, decided to paint my dining room, and make some significant life changes.
Those are fitting actions in a month whose number 9 invites endings, closure, release, replacement, all to make way for beginnings. The 9 of September in the 9 of 2025 is a 9. Did you know that one of the properties of the number 9 is that any number that is a multiple of 9 always adds up to a 9? It’s the only number with this property.
The powerful 9, which is the anchored energy of the 8 expresses itself on September 1 which is a 10 day, new beginnings. All month we are invited to consider new potentials, allow new possibilities, be open to new perspectives, and to explore new horizons. And if this inspires and motivates you to get out of the long-term energetic doldrums you may have been in, I urge you to remember what I always say, ‘It’s for now, not forever.’
With the vast potential of September the one thing that can stop the expression of its energy is our quest to find the perfect solution, the one perfect thing that we can count on to work and endure forever. Nothing does that. Small steps achieve big goals and part of the small step is to do what is right and best for today, and change course when necessary.

New Moon Turning Point August 23 2025

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 11:05:13 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/turning-point-karma-showdown/Another week begins and another energy cycle too. If you remember back in 2003 when I started this journey with many of you, energy cycles seemed to happen much more slowly and last a lot longer. Weeks and months would be part of a single energy cycle – and the accompanying fatigue, anxiety, and other physical and emotional issues.
Now they can happen daily and several occur in a single week. As we move farther up our ascension spiral we learn the lessons that help us move more quickly, absorb the information more easily, and take more determined, decisive action.
We are less fearful and more confident, less hesitant and more aware, and less concerned about the ‘others’ and more focused on our own joy. At least that’s the plan. As we know it is not always that easy or clean, but it is part of the process.
This week we have some more exciting energy events that may task us with some uncomfortable choices and decisions, some difficult realizations, and compel us to take actions we may not want to take. As the Sun moves into Virgo on August 23, it also activates an Alpha Omega Portal that will begin August 23 with a new moon at 0 Virgo, ending on September 15 with a new moon at 29 Virgo.
It's a powerful time that will challenge us to engage in more self awareness, self care, establishing our energy boundaries, and deciding whether lifetimes of karma can and should come to an end.

August 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 2 Aug 2025 03:46:01 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/august-2025-energy-report/As August enters we are reminded that it is nearly the end of summer (in the northern hemisphere). I am glad because I am not a big fan of hot weather. But it also means that we are moving quickly towards the end of the year and for some people that can be a reminder of everything that has not happened yet or everything that they have not done. But don’t despair, there’s plenty of time for taking action – aligned action, that is – and August is a great time to get started. While the Universe can be the source of frustrating delay, it can also create time warps and very fast action when that’s appropriate.

We start August with Mercury retrograde in Leo. 2025 started with Mars retrograde in Leo and the strong Pluto/Mars opposition in Leo/Aquarius. Think of how this year began – Mars the planet of Action and ruler of Aries, the first zodiac house, opposing Pluto, the great transformer in Aquarius, the 5D sign. That was a marker for what we would be seeing all year, the light/dark challenges, the 3D/5D integration in full force, and the ongoing ascension path.

August is an 8 month in a 9 year, and 8+9=17, 7+1=8. So we have a double 8 vibe this month and that’s going to bring more multi-dimensional work, more material/spirit integration, more 5D energy, and more energy expansion.

The number 8 is associated with money, wealth, and power, as well as rejuvenation, restoration, and balance. The key to success in August is balance – alignment and integration, intention and action, purpose and expansion. It’s time to take off the rose colored glasses and be honest about your real motives and motivation. No more bland mindset theories that do not take energy into consideration. It is time to be congruent, whole, and energetically sovereign. August was named after Caesar Augustus – the great Roman emperor.

If July felt stagnant and slow for you, and the heat and weird weather did not help, then August is going to feel much better, especially if you like action. 8 is the number representing infinity but it also represents the integration of human and divine, the balance of energies between material and spiritual, the action path of intention to manifestation. This is about flow, not force. The number looks like 2 circles but it also represents the torodial mobius that is the true structure of the Universe. It is not some vast open and endless plane, it is a tightly organized structure that expands and contracts under its own energetic impulses.

July 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 5 Jul 2025 00:37:44 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/july-2025-energy-report/Get ready for some good luck in July because it’s the ‘lucky 7’ month and we have two sevens this month. July is the 7th month and July 2025 is a 7 month (2025 = 9 + 7 = 16, 6+1=7). And we have Mercury retrograde in Leo, echoing Mars’ long Leo retro earlier this year and it’s long Pluto opposition. It’s a great month for fun, fireworks, and fear-free transformation. Let’s get to it.
First the numerology because we do have a lucky double 7 configuration so we have twice the luck. Some people will tell you that 7 represents the need to go inward, to hibernate, rest, rejuvenate, and restore your energy. I say we can do more with July’s lucky double 7s. 7 is a universal number that is present in so much of our daily lives. We have 7 days in a week, 7 chakras, 7 visible planets in the sky, there are 7 continents on the earth, and 7 seas. Gamblers refer to ‘lucky 7’.
7 stands between the 6 of descension and the 8 of infinite awareness so it’s another ascension bridge for us in a time when we have so many of these in 2025 and in the month of July. We just may have some accelerated growth happening – stay tuned and be prepared.
So let’s not start this month thinking we have to find some mountaintop to sit on for the next 31 days and contemplate our inner self while ignoring the world around us, trying to get the ‘next move’ right in theory before we put it into practice. We can take aligned action and course correct at any time.
Starting with the 7 numerology, which is the combination of 1 + 6, the 1 of action plus the 6 of descension. We have a universal call to action here with the energy of descension to support it. Now we just have to avoid the ‘hibernate in place’ advice and get ready to expand our energy into new potentials.

June 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 2 Jun 2025 23:55:08 +0000

htps://enlighteninglife.com/june-2025-energy-report/Although May was a long and eventful month, it feels like I just finished writing the May Energy Report and it's time to write the energy report for June. I have been writing these monthly energy reports for nearly 20 years and each month is a new chapter on our ascension journey. Some of those chapters have been so challenging and others we just breezed through. You can read the monthly energy reports from 2011 onward at the blog page at enighteninglife.com/blog I will often refer to past energy reports when they are part of a new energy cycle, which is what we have this month.
June is a 6 number vibe (June is the 6th month and 2025 is a 9 year, 9 + 6 = 15, 5 + 1 = 6). And we have another phenomenon this month, which we will have 4 times this year, March, June, September, and December. We have the 3-6-9 energy expansion which is what Nicola Tesla referred to as the ‘secret to the workings of the Universe’.
6 is the number of service, health, well-being, and where we express our soul mission. 6 is also the number of descension, energy coming down to us, that we will use as we continue our ascension path towards enlightened mastery. Now this is not a one-time journey, it is one that we repeat many times in our lifetime. Every lesson we learn, every new understanding we align with, integrate, and embody, , is the completion of a soul mission and another step on our ascension path.
I have said many times that we do not have a single ascension path; we have many smaller paths that are part of a much larger path. When we ignore our smaller successes and discount our progress because we think that we will eventually achieve ‘the ascension’ where everything works out and we are finally happy, we miss the entire purpose of the process.
With descension we are receiving energy that we will need to complete part of our learning, healing, growth, and enlightenment. But this is not like a chauffeured limousine ride. It is more like the box of mystery ingredients on the TV show ‘Iron Chef’ and we have to try to make a meal out of substances that do not really go together. And our hero’s journey begins.
June’s the beginning of the ‘better things on the way’ that I mentioned in the May Energy Report and the karma showdown. This is not the prescribed end to karma but an opportunity for us to decide to end it. We have all of the energy tools and resources to do it this month, we just have to use them.

May 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 5 May 2025 22:58:10 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/may-2025-energy-report/As I have said in the past, May is a month whose name poses a statement or a question – I Ma ! or May I? – in which we can either ask for permission or make a bold and direct intention. Consider the difference in how you approach a choice you have to make. Do you state your intention boldly and clearly or ask those around you whether they think it’s a good idea? In May we have bold energy that can inspire action that is aligned with our deepest intention if we have the courage to make clear statements of direction instead of waiting for the right moment.
This is going to be a powerful and interesting month and traditionally May is known as the month in which the flowers bloom and that is what is happening in my garden. After 7 years of work, my garden is finally settling in and blooming beautifully. Gardening is an exercise in patience, work, trial and error, and negotiation.
If you put plants in the wrong place, they won’t thrive.
If things change in the garden – like my neighbor’s two trees that fell into my yard 3 years ago during a strong storm, knocking down 2 of my trees and completely changing the light landscape, you have to rework your garden layout.
Some plants just don’t grow;, others, like day lilies, cannas, and irises, grow so much that you have to thin them out every few years or they will take over your garden completely, choking out and stifling everything else.
If you don’t like where certain plants are, you have to dig them out and place them somewhere else.
This is what May is going to be like. We have been on the ascension path for decades and now that we are coming to the fork in the road, a pivot point, it is time for us to take an inventory of our energetic resources and make sure that they are placed where we can grow and thrive.

April 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 1 Apr 2025 22:17:01 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/april-2025-energy-reportDon’t get too comfy thinking that March is over and you can relax because April is another action filled month and we also have to deal with the fallout from the March eclipses and energy moves and shifts. We’re still in Aries season so action is the theme even with Mars in Cancer, chugging towards Leo and its upcoming showdown with Pluto (again) which happens in April. And we have a few more action elements in April that come into play so keep your intentions high and your lights bright because this is a stand up, show up, and lights up month.

April is a 4 month in numerology as April is the 4th month and 2025 is a 9 year, 4 + 9 = 13 and 1 + 3 = 4. 4 is the number of stability, completion, and closure. It represents security, knowledge, confidence, and structure. There are 4 cardinal directions – East, West, North, and South, and 4 elements in the earth – Earth, Wind, Air, Fire. Think of 4 legs on a table or a chair, 4 wheels on a car. A square has 4 sides and it can be a box to stand on so we can rise above to the next level or a prison that keeps us penned in. With the 1 and 3 of this month’s 4 vibe, we can take the creative energy of March and take action in a balanced and stable way. No rushing out of the starting gate so typical of Aries, this is considered, measured, purposeful action, aligned with our intention.

The downfall of the 4 is being too rigid and stable, set in their ways, stubborn, and unchangeable. 4 is at its worst when it is trying to be all things to all people, scattering resources, and lacking focus. Those are the elements that can make April a challenging month for some, especially those who get overwhelmed by all of the energy and try to hide out or stay the same because they fear change.

April begins with the energy of March resonating very loudly – the entry of Neptune into Aries and the March 29 eclipse. Those two events have long term effects so just because we are in a new month doesn’t mean they go away. That just creates an energy signature for April. On April 7 Mercury goes direct and on April 12 Venus goes direct. Then the big event of April (one of them anyway) is Mars going into Leo (again) on April 17 and engaging in its ‘power to the people’ moment with Pluto as it did in most of December and January. And that isn’t all because in June Mars will be in Aquarius, meeting up with Pluto again. Then the Mars/Pluto connections will be over for the rest of the year.

Before we continue with the rest of the month’s details I have to share something funny with you. I was thinking about all of the release work and shifting we have had to do as we choose between our ascension path and our karma because they really are not on the same plane. We have to decide where we are going to focus our energy. The problem is that avoiding the karma path means doing so much release work (note that I did not say ‘forgiveness’ work) that it can be exhausting and discouraging.

How can we engage in that level of release work and move forward? Then I thought of goats, that we have to be more like goats. If you know anything about them, goats are remarkable animals. They are smart, nimble, can jump very high, and scale the highest peaks. Goats are ruminants, like cows, and they have a voracious appetite. Goats will eat anything, and a lot of it. They will clear out the weeds, brambles, and anything green in a large space in a matter of hours. They have thick skin that even the toughest thorns cannot pierce and one of their favorite foods is poison ivy.

How do goats manage to eat so much? Because they have an extremely fast metabolism and they ‘poop’ as they eat. If you hire a herd of goats to do pasture or field clearing, something that has become very popular in recent years, they will clear out the weeds and any greenery and fertilize the field at the same time. They are the epitome of the saying ‘food goes in one end and out the other’ and it happens quickly with them.

So if we are like goats we assess situations, consider our choices, and make our decisions to release as we move along. We do not need to spend days or weeks considering a move that we know could have happened months or years ago. The behavior we see in people now is probably no different than anything they have done for a very long time. We are seeing it from a different perspective today but they have not changed. Our choice involves whether we want that behavior in our life right now and that answer is usually no.

The energy theme of April is Reconstruction but this is more like the phoenix rising from the ashes than trying to salvage the bricks from your old house to build your new house. If parts of your life have not been totally decimated since January, you may not be paying attention or you have already gone through that process in the past 5 plus years. If they have, count yourself lucky because it’s time to rebuild from a new blueprint.

March 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 3 Mar 2025 01:05:45 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/march-2025-energy-report/March is a welcome relief from the challenging 11 energy of February. As I said in the February Energy Report, the 11 number is the spiritual initiate path and it is always challenging because we have to face our own shadows and deal with where we have been sabotaging our joy, limiting our energy, and not taking care of our needs. That awareness can be shocking and unsettling when we realize that our inability to say no, to want to get acknowledgment, and to not protect our interests is what has allowed us to become the targets for the critics, judges, toxic people, and chaos in our life.
But it’s time for a change and some creative being, thinking, and doing and March brings that energy into our sphere now. March is a 3 numerology (March is the 3rd month and 2025 is a 9, 3 + 9 = 12, 1 + 2 =3) and that is the number of creativity, companionship, positivity, and new connections. It’s also a number that encourages more energetic integration, congruence, and learning to see ourselves as multi-dimensional beings in a multi-dimensional world. We’re seeing more of that with this ascension cycle now, and this month will bring that to the forefront.
March is also the end of the solar year as the Equinox on March 20 is the 0 Aries point and the beginning of a new year. While January 1 begins our calendar year, March 20 is the start of the astrological year and that is when the new year was celebrated for many millennia. This year the Equinox is a big Alpha Omega Portal, encompassing the entire zodiac from 0 Aries to 29 Pisces with all of the planets and signs represented in some form. It’s a fantastic way to start our solar year with the full chorus of the universe supporting us.
In March we continue the spiritual cornucopia I have been writing about for several months now with a big presence in Pisces that will see up to 7 planets and points in that sign. The expander, Jupiter, is going to make that aspect much more all-encompassing now and bring three things forward:

How we interact with our spiritual energy
How we express our spiritual energy
How we use our spiritual energy in our lives especially for release and transformation, and entering our new 5D portals.
And we can’t forget Mars in Cancer is also going to encourage us to take action from our spiritual energy but not by becoming more spiritual. Instead, Mars wants us to use our spiritual energy to become more energetically integrated and empowered in the actions we are willing to take and to avoid getting caught up in our emotions. I know astrologers talk about Mars energy being diluted in Cancer but while that is not its best position, it is also making a strong positive aspect to all of the Pisces planets and that is helpful. And in Cancer Mars is focused on emotional energy, which is our biggest and most challenging life lesson.

Useful and Useless Energy

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 22:27:41 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/useful-useless-energy/21 years ago this month I published my first newsletter. I had answered a call from Archangel Uriel a few months earlier to take on a spiritual mission and although I really thought it would be for about 6 months, here we are entering year 22. It has been a wild, usually rewarding, always exciting, and often unpredictable ride, and I am looking forward to as many more years as this journey lasts.
When I first began writing the messages were the same as they are now, in a slightly different context because this was new information and people were not always ready for it. I talked about energy mastery, congruence, releasing our karmic bonds, spiritual empowerment, and energetic sovereignty. In the over 5000 articles, more than a dozen books, hundreds of programs teaching over 2 million students, over 3000 hours of radio shows, live broadcasts, and podcasts that I have written and hosted, I have connected with millions of people around the world and touched countless lives. I could not be more proud of my work, more committed to my mission, or more honored by the opportunity to serve you, then and now.
Every step of our ascension journey has been a mix of challenges and blessings, joy and sorrow, peace, and absolute chaos. We have been through a lot this past 21 years and the journey is not over yet but we are reaching another crossroads and this time the spotlight is on us. That might make you uncomfortable if you do not like being center stage but it is time for us to focus on our journey now, on what gives us joy and what brings us peace, fulfillment, and achievement. And on what uplifts, energizes motivates, and inspires us.
We have graduated from light work to light beacon, and we are moving into that 5D space of pure creation with our lessons learned, karmic ties unraveled and released, and new intentions at the ready.
As I wrote in the February 2025 Energy Report, “throughout the past 20 plus years we have been the light workers, now we are the light beacons. We have been the Martyred Healers, now we are the Empowered Masters. We have been the Portal Keepers and energy anchors, now we are the pioneers who are creating our 5D communities and new energetic families.”
And we are standing at the threshold of our new 5D realities, knowing that there is no turning back because there probably is nothing to turn back to. If your past is a barren landscape of ended friendships and partnerships, unmet expectations, and sheer fatigue from doing lifetimes of healing work, you’re ready to step into that 5D portal but you have one more thing to do.

February 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 4 Feb 2025 04:10:48 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/february-2025-energy-report/it’s the first month in decades that does not have some kind of Capricorn presence, and because it’s our time to shift gears, go in a different direction, and move ourselves into new paradigms of potential. If the past 20 years and even last month showed you who was on your side and who was not, you now know who your enemies, frenemies, and true friends are and there’s no going back to the old ways of being and doing.
We begin with February’s numerology, which is an 11 month (2 + 2024 = 11). Now this breaks down to a 2 but 11 is the first master number and any month that is a master number deserves special attention because there will be lessons and learning, trials and challenges, and new pathways to forge. In 2024 we have two 11 months, November is the other one.
This month is highly charged with spiritual energy, the 5D portals are wide open, high vibe energy is pouring in and we’re highly receptive after January’s energy cleanup. I had a particularly challenging month in January, did you? I thought it was particularly difficult and then realized that sneaky Mercury was in Capricorn, doing the final clean-up work from Pluto’s 16 year transit there. Mercury is the karma overseer so its presence in Capricorn from January 6 to 30 was helping us tie up those loose ends. And it was tough, as Mercury transits can be. The good news is that Mercury does not spend any more time in Capricorn this year.
As if to reward us for our hard work in January , February opens with a Venus Neptune conjunction in Pisces, one of the most beautiful and spiritual of all planetary aspects. It doesn’t get much better than this. This sets the stage for the energy in February so let’s make the most of it.

January 2025 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 09:16:24 +0000

https://enlightenglife.com/january-2025-energy-report/Since we ended 2024 with a strong Capricorn new moon on December 30, we enter 2025 on a high note, sort of. The year began with the echoes of a new moon representing fresh starts, new actions, bold moves, and beginnings. At least we do not have Pluto in Capricorn to deal with any longer but we still have a strong energy aspects to start this new month and new year. A lot is happening this month with Mars returning to Cancer, Mercury transiting that sign, the nodes changing sign to Pisces, the end of a 19 year cycle, and a big Pisces stellium which last happened in 1989.

It is going to be a good year for putting new plans and projects in place, for finally creating the transformations you have wanted to create for so long, and for coming to terms with your truth and your light. And it starts in January so let’s sit up, pay attention, take notes, and ask the right questions.

January opens with the echo of the December 30 Capricorn new moon which featured strong oppositions – planets at 180 degrees and most importantly, a Mars/Pluto opposition from Leo to Aquarius. I call this a ‘power to the people’ moment which started in November 2024 and will last through April 2025. It is not going to go away quickly and it will have a profound effect on society and culture all over the world. Watch what happens as people rise up against the 3D energies of corruption, control, domination, power over, separation, competition, and disconnection from spirit.

This new moon in Capricorn is not a rehash of the past 16 years of that tough Pluto transit, it is a new energetic boundary reminding us of where we have come and what we do not want to repeat. I see it as a 4D bridge activation, creating a space of awareness of where we began in 3D and shining a strong light across that bridge to new levels of joy, peace, love, abundance, and prosperity.

The 5D portal is wide open now so there are options available and choices to be made and many, many people are choosing the light. The first Pluto in Capricorn transit opened the portal to self-sovereignty. The latest one opened the portal to energetic sovereignty. We are energetically sovereign, aware, and ready for action. We know this, now we have to live our lives within this understanding.

December 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 2 Dec 2024 00:30:03 +0000

This month of change, transformation, opportunities, possibilities, and fresh starts begins appropriately with a new moon. Yes December 1 is a new moon in Sagittarius that highlights our mercury retrograde. But don’t let that bring you down because there is a lot of good in these aspects and all month we will be pulled between the past and the future with a foot in both worlds. There are choices to be considered and decisions to be made and this time, it’s all about us, our needs, our path, and what brings us joy.
December 2024 is an 11 month, 12 + 2024 = 3 + 8 = 11. This is a fitting end to not just a difficult year but a difficult cycle that began in January 2008 with Pluto’s entry into Capricorn. Little did we know, until a few years ago, what that would become. Pluto does its work with gusto and it didn’t disappoint. Now that we know where the darkness is, it’s time to bring in the light.
11 is the first master number, the number of the initiate. I first wrote about our lives as a spiritual initiation in early 2004, one of my first newsletter articles. You can read about it in my book, Ascending into Miracles – the Path of Spiritual Mastery. And if you read Planet Lightworker Magazine, they published my Path of Spiritual Initiation series that year too. 20 years later, here we are talking about it again.
Initiation is a journey of learning, growth, and expansion. It isn’t just about the lessons but what we do with the experience. Do we move forward or go back? Do we rise or fall? Are we victims or victors? We have all struggled and suffered during this time, no one escapes the journey’s lessons but what do we do with the information? That’s what will propel us forward in the coming months and years.
With December’s strong 11 vibration our entire month becomes an ascension mirror. So keep that in mind as we go through the month. And at the last month of the year, when we look back on the past and look forward to the future, let this energy guide you to the most fruitful, fulfilling, joyful choices.
The energy theme for December is Revision, which can be interpreted several ways. To Revise something is to change its message, to alter what it looks and sounds like, to take an old narrative and edit it to make it more appealing, correct, fitting, or accurate.
To re-vision is to see with new eyes and a new perspective. When we re-vision something we decide that we will look at it in new ways. The truth is subjective, we know that. If you have ever played the post office game, you know how information and facts can get distorted. Listen to the podcast for an example of this.
If we decide to re-vision our lives we change our perspective on what we believe we saw or interpreted. Yes something may have been painful or hurtful but was that deliberate? Yes we may have hoped for the best in a situation but were we seeing the situation as it was? And this extends to re-visioning our own vision of ourselves. We have limited our vision of ourselves for far too long and we need all of our lights on to shine brightly now.
We can do both this month, we can revise our intention, path, purpose, and mission and use our ability to re-vision our lives lets us see it with new eyes. Many years ago I wrote that we have sight but no vision. We need our eyes, our 3D sight, to see the reality but we need 5D vision to see that reality with a new perspective, a new understanding, and to be open to new potentials and possibilities.
We see with our eyes but we perceive and understand with our perception and understanding. How we interpret the world is fully determined by how we choose to use our sight and what we choose to see.

Welcome to Pluto in Aquarius

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:47:18 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/pluto-in-aquarius/We experienced a major turning point in the 3D/5D ascension integration, the entry of Pluto into Aquarius. Now Pluto does change signs every 15 to 20 years so this is another Pluto transit but it is more than that. With Pluto in Capricorn since January 2008 we had a front row experience of 3D and it was not a pretty sight. Especially in the last 5 years, from 2019, we have seen the worst of 3D, had the most dense energy of 3D exposed, and we have lived to talk about it.
Now we are on a new trajectory, we have more support for our ascension path, and we have new portals and new energies to work with. Pluto in Aquarius will be another level of the ‘age of enlightenment, which is what the previous Aquarius transit was called, which happened from 1778 to 1798. Pluto will be in Aquarius until 2044 so we have a lot of time to work with this energy.
Aside from being extremely transformative, Pluto transits are generational, so an entire generation is affected by the energy it brings, in Aquarius this energy is far different from Capricorn and we can expect a lot of growth, awareness, transformation, and movement now.
Some of the major transformations I see as possible are:

Further dis-integration of the 3D paradigm meaning more exposure of the corruption, collusion, control, and counter humanity activities. Everything from corporatism to the attempt to create human robots will be exposed. And people are no longer willing to tolerate these incursions on their lives, rights, and liberties. An awakened population is empowered with the 5d energies of cooperation, collaboration, community, connection, and creativity.
A greater desire for fulfillment in life, on all levels. If you remember the consumerism of the 1980s and 1990s welcome to the simplicity of 2025 and beyond. We have all of the stuff, now we want peace, joy, love, and true wealth of heart, mind, and spirit.
More attention to self fulfillment, self awareness, and community. We no longer want to live apart, separated from our energetic collective. We want our energetic family and friends, we want to build communities and live in harmony with each other and with the other. Have you noticed how many people are interested in the home made and hand made movement now? Activities that were once labeled as vintage and old fashioned, like cooking, canning, gardening, farming, and animal husbandry and now in vogue.
More political activity but not politicking. We have seen what political laziness has accomplished, as our world was nearly stolen from us while we watched reality tv, played video games, or binged on Netflix. Even if you are not interested in running for political office, being energetically engaged in our world and the reality we live in is now an imperative. We must be intentional creators, aware of how we are using our energy and fully engaged with our energy.

November 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 4 Nov 2024 00:12:34 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/november-2024-energy-report/It is quite fitting that the numerology of November this year is a 1 because it is a new cycle and a new beginning in a very historic way. As you know, because it has been the topic of conversation for many months, this is the month when Pluto enters Aquarius where it will stay until 2044. How old will you be when Pluto finally leaves Aquarius for Pisces? I will be in my mid 80s. A sobering thought.
Pluto is a generational planet with its long transits of up to 20 years so its movements are slow, deliberate, and mark important social changes. Since the previous Pluto in Aquarius transit was from 1777 to 1798, no one alive today has any idea of what that transit looks like but we can estimate the potential by noting that the previous transit of Pluto in Aquarius was called the Age of Enlightenment. And at that time Neptune was in Virgo, opposite its current placement in Pisces, and at nearly the same degree. That’s a very good sign for what may come with our current Pluto in Aquarius transit.
In its 1762 to 1777 Capricorn transit, Pluto was responsible for the dissolution of the monarchy rule and the introduction of the concept of individual sovereignty. In 2008 to 2024, it has challenged the corporatocracy and government tyranny and solidified our entry into the domain of energetic sovereignty. This is where we are today.
So as Pluto enters Aquarius for the next 20 years remember that it supports us on our 5D integration path. There is a lot of potential for global change and a lot is at stake, as you know. We are also faced with a twisted agenda of the dissolution of the human spirit and energy and the creation of trans-humanism, a devious attempt to connect our brains and energy systems to machines, creating the ‘internet of things’.
Yes this is a real thing and if you do not know about it you should because while it sounds like something out of a sci fi movie, it is a real agenda that has been in place for many decades. Its completion is supposed to happen sometime between 2025 and 2030. Now you know why these years are so important in the global tyranny agenda.
So that’s where we are in this month as we enter a new 9 year numerology cycle, a new generational cycle, and we are at the cusp of either enlightenment or annihilation. And that is not overstating the seriousness of the issues we face today. But as I always say, light always overtakes the darkness so keep shining your lights and managing your energy field, energy boundaries, and maintaining your energy sovereignty.

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 1 Nov 2024 03:59:50 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/conspirationHave you ever awakened in the morning with a word or a song on your mind and you think about it all day? A few days ago I woke up with the word conspiration’ on my mind and I had to look it up because I did not think it was a real word. It is. It means joint effort, shared action, and harmonious effort.’ Yes it is derived from the word conspire from which we also get the word conspiracy, which has come to mean something devious and deceptive thanks to the efforts of devious and deceptive 3 letter agencies starting in the 1960s.

Conspiration means joint effort and the word conspire really means to be in the same spirit or with the same breath. So conspirators are breathing together, they share the same spirit, they act in harmony with shared effort. It makes you rethink the true nature of ‘conspiracy theorists.’

For the past 20 years I have been teaching about the Universe as our co-creator, our partner in manifestation, our source of energy that fulfills our intention. The universe supplies the energy that we need to manifest and it has always been this way. Even though we think the Universe is in control, that it leads and we follow, that is actually backwards. We lead with our intention and the Universe follows up with the energy to fulfill it. We are always in charge and in control.

It is a very synergistic relationship because without energy our intention cannot manifest but without intention the Universe cannot use its energy. We are energy containers or vessels, and the Universe is our energy supplier.

A client once asked me how this worked because he could not understand it. For him, it was a what came first, the chicken or the egg argument. I said not at all, it’s like a lamp and a lightbulb. Both are capable of working independently but a lamp is useless without a light bulb and a light bulb is useless without a lamp. He got it.

If we look at our relationship with the Universe just in terms of creating our reality or in keeping the earth on an even keel to balance light and dark energies, we are underplaying the vast potential of this relationship.
If you think of this relationship in terms of conspiration, the possibilities are endless. Think of conspiration as an agreement to create reality, give energy an opportunity to manifest as form, to fulfill the promise of ascension, to create heaven on earth. A conspiration requires harmonious effort, shared purpose, and a common intention.

And each one of us has this ability. We can each create a conspiration with the universe when we set intentions because they are the energy container the Universe needs to set energy in motion.

It Is Karma Time

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 23:12:42 +0000

It’s Karma Time !
We have a strong full moon on October 17, 2024, and this one has karma written all over it. Of course if you have not been sending out any karma boomerangs you don’t have anything to worry about. But if you have, you might want to start being careful and looking over your shoulder.
There are people in the world who don’t care about the consequences of their actions. In fact, they think that their actions should not have any consequences at all and they can do whatever they want without fear of reprisal. I have known people like that, some of them have done some really awful things to me. And today I learned that one of them got the karma boomerang in a very strong way.
Since I began my online business in early 2004 I have had problems with people stealing content. This is a real problem for any author or content creator and the internet has just made it 1000x worse. And you have unprofessional, unethical, and uneducated people who seem to populate the coaching world, especially business coaching, who think that the internet is a ‘content buffet’ that they can just help themselves to at any time they want.
They don’t have the credentials to create original content, no problem. They will just steal it from someone who does. They aren’t creative enough to generate consistent content for their audience, no problem, they will find someone who has content they like and they will use theirs.
This is not just happening with small accounts, it is happening with popular and well known people too. In fact, I am currently initiating copyright infringement actions against a well known ‘digital course’ leader who has been stealing content from me for 2 years – I have proof – and who should know better. If you say you have a $100 million business you should be able to create your own content and not steal it from someone else.
But I digress.
If you have been following me for the past 10 years you know that one of these content thieves is a former business coach named Christine Kane. I first learned about her content theft, which by the way is copyright infringement and theft of intellectual property, in October 2014 when she announced her new ‘Becoming 360’ program which was entirely stolen from articles and programs I had created in 2013. I have proof. So I sent her a Cease and Desist letter telling her that she could not use that content because she had not created it.
Not only did she not reply to me, but she also continued to use it and called it one of her ‘most successful programs.’ I hired a lawyer to take legal action against her and she still did not stop stealing my content. In fact, she stole more. I also found out, while doing the research for my lawyer to prepare the case against her, that she had started stealing content from me in 2011. I could find my words and ideas all over her programs and blog that were published then.
Anything she taught about business, energy congruence, or alignment, integration, and energy use was from content she read on my website and in my newsletter. To be honest, anything she wrote about or presented in her business was something she got from me. And she never paid me any licensing fees or royalties, never contacted me to get permission to use my content, she just took it. Although I had blocked her email address, she had people working for her who would go through my writings and take what they wanted. And she could use her phone or other computers to access my website, blogs, and podcasts if I blocked her IP address.
She was using so much of my content in her business that she nearly destroyed my business. I could not use my own ideas and words in my business because she was using them in hers. It was a nightmare.
And of course Christine Kane calls herself a spiritual person, she talks about love and light and how we should all be nice to each other. She even had the absolute gall to write an October 2014 blog post saying that ‘it’s OK if someone steals your content because they can’t steal your energy.’ Was she trying to deflect the karma she was building by stealing my content or pacify her guilty conscience about using content that she knew was not her original work? Did she write it just before announcing the Becoming 360 program so that I wouldn’t respond?
So I did the only thing I could do, I let everyone know that she was a content thief and everything she produced that was from my work I let my audiences know. I was not afraid of a defamation lawsuit because it is not defamation if you have proof and are telling the truth. As a paralegal and experienced legal researcher, I would never publicly accuse someone of such a serious charge without having irrefutable proof. And I had it. There was so much proof that my lawyer, an experienced copyright infringement and IP lawyer, said it was the worse case had had ever seen. And the content theft continued.
Eventually, in 2022, she was so discredited that even her most loyal followers were asking her about the source of her content and she declared that she was taking a ‘sabbatical’ and closed her business. It has remained closed for the past 2 years.
Since she was no longer writing or actively managing her business, that was one problem solved although she still owns the illegal becoming 360 trademark that my attorney is trying to get for me and the becoming360.com domain name.
How does this connect with the upcoming full moon and karma? Well yesterday I learned that she had suffered significant losses in the Asheville, NC flooding. Yes she lives in Asheville and has for many years. Her home was on Riverbend Drive, less than 30 feet from the Swannanoa River. She owned 2 homes and both are gone. In fact, it is all gone, the homes, her possessions, the land – it is all washed away. She has nothing but the clothes she is wearing. She can’t rebuild because the flooding washed the entire riverbank away. There is no land on which to rebuild.
Now I am not one to gloat over someone’s misery and losing all of your possessions is a big deal. But this is a person who gladly stole everything from me without a second thought, who happily hurt my business and income while bragging about how much money she made using my content. And who waved the spiritual flag for her followers while engaging in very dishonest and unethical actions.
Now she is homeless and has to re-think her life. I call that karma. I wonder if she gets it and whether she will take a long, hard look at how she is living her life and what she is bringing upon herself because she sure wasn’t concerned about that when she was stealing from me.
It’s karma time and the karma boomerang may take some time to circle back but it eventually does. What goes around comes around and that is absolutely true at this time. Anything that has been done since Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 is coming back around so if you have been doing good things, you will probably be fine. But if you have been living your life on the wrong side of ethical behavior, you should probably be thinking about making some changes.
And as far as Christine Kane is concerned, I wish her well but I do not feel sorry for her at all. I hope she has learned something from all of this and if not, that’s her problem. One thing about karma, it is relentless. It comes at you until you get it and if you don’t it comes around again.
It’s karma time and time to balance energy accounts and make good on promises and consequences. If it has your number it will find you and if not, you will watch the karma boomerang hit its mark with pinpoint accuracy. You do not need to feel worry for or pity these people. Bad behavior does eventually get punished and it always has a foundation in the truth of their actions and being. It’s something you can’t escape and while you may think you’re getting away with something you are not. Karma keeps score and eventually it demands payment. This is one of those times.

Persecution Karma

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 04:10:19 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/persecution-karmaBefore I start this article and podcast I want to caution you that I will be blunt and direct. This is not a nice or an easy topic and I take issue with people who abuse their power and authority, especially in the spiritual community, to take advantage of others.
I see it all of the time, smart, talented, spiritually competent people who have wonderful and powerful gifts to share with the world are stuck, procrastinating, anxious, confused, doubtful of their abilities, and are afraid to step forward. It is not entirely their fault because there is a very strong incentive for them to hide instead of shining brightly, to fear the consequences of sharing from their highest self, of being public and out in the open. They are afraid of the consequences that include betrayal, judgment, persecution, and worse. It’s a very real fear with a very real foundation. And it’s time to address our persecution karma.
You know that this lifetime is one of many and if you are present here today as a spiritual teacher you have powerful gifts to share with the world. The problem is you have been down this path before, often with terrible consequences. You have known persecution from people you trusted and loved, you have been reviled, defiled, judged, imprisoned, and worse. You have lost everything, had everything taken from you, been imprisoned, seen others persecuted, judged, and betrayed for their association with you. The persecution fear is real but the question today is not ‘will it happen again’ but when does it stop limiting you?
In order to address our persecution karma we return in each lifetime and we bring our persecutors along for the ride. Our objective is not to be persecuted yet again, but to change their actions and to heal the relationship. We want to bring them to another level where they do not persecute us and to end this karma. It sounds good in theory but the reality is often much different, as you know.
In this lifetime in particular, because it is the lifetime in which we have decided that we will end our karma, we have chosen our most powerful and strongest persecutors to accompany us so that we can end this persecution karma and really shine brightly. That was the plan. Instead, we have become victims to their power plays, jealousy, meanness, judgment, and power schemes yet again.
Now our perspective of persecution karma is that we experience it in our family and with partners and friends and that is partly true. But what about the other types of persecution karma? Have you ever had someone you worked with do their best to discredit you or get you fired? Have you been betrayed by the friend who stole your partner or someone you cared for? Have you ever been let down, judged, or been attacked by a spiritual teacher or mentor? These are all forms of persecution karma too. Let’s take a look at this life milestone energy and the millstone it presents us with.
There are different ways we experience our persecution karma in our lives today, from our family, from those we put our trust in, and from our own spiritual community.
Unfortunately for those with the persecution karma, the experience begins in the family, in childhood. The time of our life when we expect to be surrounded by love, support, generosity, and kindness, is often just the opposite. If our soul mission is so important in this lifetime, wouldn’t we want the best possible foundation for it and have a loving, supportive family? You would think that would be the case and it isn’t. But we do get a chance to get a firsthand experience of our persecution karma and that is how our spiritual learning in this lifetime begins.
How many of you had parents who did their best to silence you, to dim your light, to destroy your confidence and treat you as an outsider? I know many of you and this is your story too.
Since family is our first experience of our lifetime karma then it makes sense that this is where we will experience our persecution karma. It expresses itself in many different ways. How many of you had a jealous, critical or domineering parent? Probably most of you.
How many of you did not feel welcome, integrated, or aligned with your immediate and extended family? Probably most of you.
How many of you were seen as the outsider or the ‘different’ one by your family? Probably most of you.
How many of you knew intuitively that you could not shine your light or be powerful and successful because that would be a source of persecution and judgment by your family? Probably most of you.
How many of you had a mother, father, or sibling who saw you as a rival and was in constant competition with you? Probably many of you.

October 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 4 Oct 2024 17:30:42 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/october-2024-energy-report/It’s October now and we move from the 8 of September to the 9 energy of October (10 + 2+0+2+4 = 9) and we see the number 9 in terms of closure and endings. Well this one is a little different because it is not just closure we’ll get, it is endings and the end, as in it’s over, fini, fertig, finito, done, closed, and completely over. It is interesting that 2024 began with a 9 month, January 2024 was a 9 (1 + 2 + 0 + 2 +4) and October brings us full circle and full cycle from where we started on January 1, 2024. January was also a 9 value month and Pluto was at the same degree as it is now and getting ready for the final steps in its long transit of Capricorn. (everyone shout hooray)
I am not talking about the end of the world apocalypse here, but something similar, although that is what the people whose land and homes were flooded are dealing with. What must be over will end, in one way or another, and we may be able to get closure, but that is not necessary for endings. Remember Capricorn is the end of the 3D path and Aquarius, the next sign, is the 5D sign leading us into full spiritual congruence. The ascension journey is nearing completion of this particular cycle.
Beginnings require endings or we have a mish mash of events, situations, people, relationships, and the like that are no longer relevant to us today but we still have some connection to them so we keep them close by even though they add no value or benefit to us, our path, or our life.
It reminds me of the junk drawer that everyone has in their kitchen, which contains a collection of old keys, random parts, cords, batteries, and objects that we once had or used. While we really don’t know what they all belong to any more we’re afraid to throw them away in case that thing shows up and we need that part or cord.
So we continue to add to the junk drawer year after year until one day we decide to clean it up and discover exactly what is in there. The results are surprising because we find things that we were looking for, get rid of a lot of things we know we no longer need, and sometimes we find surprises. I did this with my daughter on my last visit to her house and we found a lot of things in the kitchen junk drawers including enough loose change to buy an ice cream treat for the entire family!
As I am writing this on October 1 we just had an X7 solar flare, a rather large one that explains the anxiety, headache, and restlessness that I have felt all day. Of course since I am in North Carolina, I am also processing energy from the huge amount of devastation that was left behind Hurricane Helene too. I often visit that part of the state especially in the autumn because the Blue Ridge Parkway is so beautiful but not this year.
Many of the roads I have traveled before are gone – washed away – or the towns I visited are gone or heavily damaged. Even the Biltmore House, the Vanderbilt property that is a central figure in the area, is closed. It is very sad but the people here will recover. They are strong and resourceful and very committed to their communities. And a lot of us will help when we can and when it is safe to travel to that part of the state.

Creating Energetic Space

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 00:22:34 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/create-energetic-space/You have heard me use the phrase ‘create energetic space’ so many times over the years and I have explained it in various ways that include healing and release work. And that is true but once we get beyond the easy stuff then we move into the harder aspects of healing because like everything else, there is a core to what is making us feel stuck, disempowered, afraid, and confused. As you will learn it is something that eludes us because we are looking in other directions.

The key to healing is not more emotional release work, which is often the easy part. There is an energetic component to release work that is the final component, the answer to all of our sadness, and it is the most challenging release work we will ever do.
If you have had questions about why, in spite of years of release work, you just can’t get clear of everything that holds you back, this article will answer those questions, give you some action items to implement, and perhaps even start an energy inventory of what exactly is in your energetic space right now and what you may want to create space for.

To begin, we have to acknowledge that everything is energy and everything has energy. Every thought and belief has its own energy. Try this experiment. Think of something wonderful that happened in your past. I’ll start – the time I was in an orchestra and played the piccolo solo in John Phillip Sousa’s ‘stars and Stripes Forever’ on a barge in the middle of a river. And I played it without making a single error. I had practiced for weeks and it had to be absolutely perfect or someone would notice. It was an honor to play it, an acknowledgement of my talent and skill as a musician, years of practice, and I wanted it to be perfect. And it was. I only played it one time that day but I got it exactly right.

How do you feel about what you just remembered? I feel fantastic, I am smiling, and I remember hitting that last note of that solo, so grateful that it was over and that I had played my solo perfectly. It was one of the more thrilling moments of my life.

September 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 2 Sep 2024 16:32:10 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/september-2024-energy-report/Have you ever noticed that the holiday season creeps on us and while we think we have weeks to get ready all of a sudden it’s time to think of holiday celebrations, gifts, and decorations? As we enter September we are in that mode because although we have known for months that we would eventually arrive at the monumental re-entry of Pluto into Capricorn for its final visit, it happens this month.

In fact, it happens on the second day of the month, September 2, along with the new moon in Virgo.
September’s energy themes are the harvest, energetic restoration, congruent harmony, and divine restitution. Restitution or retribution – we will let the Universe decide.

All of these events are connected to our ongoing ascension journey so we get it from all angles this month. Pluto’s journey into Capricorn lasts 10 weeks and covers only 1 degree but it is going to be powerful, meaningful, and eventful. It is not a time to be scared or to dread the future because it is an inevitable part of a big cycle which began with Pluto’s entry into Capricorn in 2008.

Starting September 2 we are going to be winding down this important Pluto cycle, which includes backfilling in the areas that were unearthed, disturbed, discovered, revealed, and pointed out during Pluto’s 16 year cycle. If you look at the geopolitical scene, that’s a lot of revelation and it began in 2008 when we were beginning to suspect that something was very wrong with the 3D reality we lived in but we had no idea where to even begin to figure out what it was.

Fast forward to 2024 and the conspiracy theories have proven to be fact, those who held them to be remarkably insightful and the world is awakening to a stark truth that all is not what it seems. That is Ok though because we are going to arrive at the truth and although it may be a windy road, we will arrive at the truth destination.

Meanwhile, we have strong energies in September beginning with the numerology. September is an 8 month (9 + 2024 = 17, 7+1=8). Not only is 8 known as the number of infinity, the yin and yang, the balance of light and dark, if you cut one side of the you get 9, the number which represents the end of the journey, the final destination. In numerology there are 9 numerals, no double digits.

Mercury Retro Extravagan or Frugal

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 22:50:44 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/mercury-retro-extravagant-necessary/If you follow me on facebook you know that my phone died yesterday. It just stopped working. The screen was black, it would not ring (I tried to call it), it would not turn off or on, I tried pushing all the buttons, nothing would make it respond. My first thought about why this happened was Mercury retrograde, as this is the kind of event that happens with Mercury retro and this one is particularly tricky. That realization did not fix my phone but it did remind me that everyone is susceptible to Mercury retro shenanigans, even someone who has Mercury retro in their natal astrology chart, like I do.

So I did what anyone today does when their phone dies (and it is their only mobile phone), I panicked. I called my carrier and ordered a new phone, paying extra to ship it next day air. I had an old tracfone that I tried to reactivate, and I searched online to find ways to make my phone work again.

I went to bed last night feeling rather glum about the whole situation. Now I am not tied to my phone, as in I am not using it 24 hours a day, I don’t take it into the bathroom with me, I turn it off at night, but it does come in handy for certain things like GPS and it is required to post some things on Instagram.

I felt rather lost, not being able to check my facebook page and Instagram account yesterday, to get phone calls and check my text messages. While I do not get that many texts, there is a difference between not checking them because I am busy and I will check them later and not being able to check them at all because my phone is not working.

And I sent my family members an email (from my computer) letting them know that if they called or texted and I did not respond it was because my phone was not working. This was especially important for my mother, who tends to panic and think the worst if I do not call her back within a reasonable amount of time, which in her estimation is about 20 minutes. And I have to share that I did this because a few years ago when I did not call her back immediately she called my children and other family members, certain that something dire had happened to me because she did not hear back from me right away. I later told her, after I called her upon receiving absolutely panicked calls from my children wondering whether I was still alive and not mortally wounded, that this was really not appropriate behavior.

So to ensure that it did not happen again, I let her know my phone was out of commission Read the rest of the article on the Enlightening Life blog at this link.

Energy Disruptors

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 22:32:18 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/energy-disruptorsIn more than 20 years of writing and over 5000 articles I have never discussed the topic of people and situations that disrupt our energy in one single article as I am going to do today. This is a difficult topic because we all have one or more of these energy disruptors in our lives. Whether it’s the family that rejects or judges you, friends who betray you, work or business colleagues who steal your work (I have a lot of experience in this area), people who are deliberately mean to you, are jealous of you, or who try to put you down in any way, or situations that drag you down, this is a very common occurrence in our lives.
What do we do about them? Some of these situations we cannot just leave and walk away from. Other situations and people must be confronted and dealt with. And some of these situations have no happy or benevolent outcome. Sometimes we react with anger to these situations that are so unfair and so undeserved and sometimes we let them create depression and helplessness. It is true that there may be nothing we can do about them, as they continue despite our best efforts, but we can make ourselves immune to their actions.
There is nothing that we can do about someone’s bad behavior because we cannot change what others think, say, or do. But we can learn to be aware of their behavior, prepare ourselves for it, arm ourselves against these energy disruptors, and learn to be energetically powerful and sovereign in spite of them.
This is where good intentions and our spiritual integrity meet the ugly side of 3D reality. If we are doing our work and doing the right things, shouldn’t we be able to avoid these kinds of situations? No, there has never been a promise of easy, trouble-free living with our spiritual work. And often the opposite is the case. The more involved we are in our spiritual work, the higher our frequency and vibration, the more committed we are to following the ascension path, the more we have to deal with these energy disruptors.
Blame it on the brightness of your light or the beauty of your energy frequency, we will have to deal with unpleasant people and situations that appear to have a singular purpose, to bring our energy down. It’s everywhere and even the spiritual community is full of these people and sad to say, the greed, jealousy, and sabotage that exists amongst spiritual teachers and workers can be disappointing.
Karen Bishop, who wrote the What’s Up on Planet Earth blog for many years, she quit writing after being frustrated with people stealing her work. It has happened to me too but I don’t quit, I go after these people and often prosecute them in court. I’ll share some of my stories of energy disruptors later in this article as an example of how this happens and what you can do about it. It’s a tough situation and it is very unfair to us but it happens and we need to deal with it.

August 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 4 Aug 2024 23:11:40 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/august-2024-energy-report/July is over and we are now entering the 8th month of the year and in an 8 year we have a double 8 numerology (or 16) which creates a 7 vibration. Now 7 is supposed to be the number of introspection, the spiritual quest, contemplation, and inner work. But that’s not what I see for this month. I see the integration of energy downloads from July, intentional action, and new perspectives for our 5D energies – community, connection, creativity, collaboration, and cooperation.

We must be constantly looking for ways to integrate these energies into our lives and as our own 3D paradigms dis-integrate, we must be ready with these 5D energies to replace what is rapidly becoming unsustainable, intolerable, and incapable of energetic connection. How many people do you know experienced relationship endings in July?

I know of several clients and friends who decided that their relationships with certain people or situations were over and they were finished with the pain and challenges they were facing. And they don’t regret their decisions either. They knew it was time and they acted decisively and quickly, something they were not ready to do before. The only thing that changed was the timing – remember July was all about descension, energy coming in to help us move forward in any way we need to so we can live in a more high vibes way.

It’s time for energetic freedom and this is one part of it – releasing ourselves from the relationships and life situations in which we feel that we are in bondage, oppressed, where we are energetically unbalanced, manipulated, used, and unappreciated (except for what we give them). Those days are over and in this new 5D paradigm we simply are not willing to tolerate any kind of behavior that doesn’t support and add to our joy, and that is out of energetic integrity and alignment with us.

Times of Peril Power and Transformation

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 22:17:26 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/peril-power-pote…l-transformation/As I've been talking about for the last few months, we had a very interesting series of aspects and so much energy focused on our transformational friend Pluto in the last few weeks. This week begins with the energetic resonance of the Full Moon at 29 Capricorn which just happened on July 21st. Now this was part of an Alpha Omega portal that began on June 21st with the first full moon at one degree of Capricorn.
Why is Capricorn so important now? Because we have had the Capricorn influence since 2008 and within that period the historic US and global Pluto return occurred in 2022. Even though Pluto entered Aquarius in January 2024 it will retrograde into Capricorn in September through mid-November, hitting just that final 29 degree mark, the same degree of this full moon, and then move into Aquarius for good, not to return to Capricorn for 250 years. This is a monumental time.
We are seeing the transition and transformation of the Capricorn paradigm, the corporatocracy, the 3D paradigm of power, control, corruption, competition, deceit, and deception which was brought to our attention in extreme detail since Pluto has been in Capricorn. This is the final countdown of ascension, the final revelation of the true nature of 3D which we need to see so we can do the work of dis-integrating it for a new 5D paradigm, which is what ascension provides.
Since 3D is our paradigm this integration work is not done for us, it is done in partnership with us, we must do the dis-integration work of 3D so we can integrate 5D energy and we are doing this on both the individual and collective levels. It’s a lot of work, I know. It’s tiring and can be depressing, it’s hard to stare evil in the face and bring in the light. But that is where we are and it is what we are doing.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Much more is happening and don’t worry, it is all supportive of our ascension work and 5D integration. As you know, if you have been following me on facebook, this period is also punctuated with the rare and historic Mars, Uranus, and Algol conjunction at 26 Taurus which happened the week of July 15. This particular aspect has only happened 5 times in 2500 years so yes, it is special. And the Uranus/Algol conjunction continues through May 2025, so it is just starting.

July 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 6 Jul 2024 03:06:26 +0000

http://enlighteninglife.com/july-2024-energy-report/July is one of the hottest months of the year and in the US we also celebrate Independence Day on July 4 and France’s Independence day is July 14. I think this year’s celebrations will have special significance as we celebrate a new level of spiritual and energetic independence that will be tangible on a 3D level. We are being liberated from the darkness of the 3D paradigm and introduced to the light, freedom, and sovereignty of 5D.

You can get excited about these events but don’t just sit and wait for them to happen because as you will see, it is a process of energy movement, paradigm shifts, and transition which includes releasing what does not serve us, for good. No more turning back. This is a time for cleanup and clear out of energies so we can be ready for the action of August and September. Things may get a little intense in this period but chaos is a byproduct of dis-integration and that is what happens with awakening – the reality we are part of dis-integrates (comes apart) because the old energy no longer supports the shifting reality.

This is where our discernment becomes important as we sift through what is right for us and what is no longer relevant to our new paradigms. Now this process will be different for everyone so do not look at what someone else is experiencing and try to gauge your experience relative to theirs. We’re all on our individual paths even if we are on the same journey.
July is a 6 month in numerology (7 + 2024 = 15 and 1 + 5 = 6). 6 is the number of descension, when energy descends to us which we can also call downloads. And they will be big this month. First because so many people are awakening and demanding transformation and second because we are also shifting out of old 3D paradigms and into new frequencies. The more open we are to receiving new energy the more energy we receive.

Think of the Universe as a vast pool of energy at every frequency that just waits for us to be open to receiving more energy at higher frequencies. Whatever we are ready for, ask for, and can align with, we will receive. This energy has immediate consequences with everything everywhere. And that’s because there is so much desire for change, balance, congruence, and 5D community and connection, that the energy is fulfilling a need and it gets used right away. Everything is changing now and very quickly too, as you can see in your own lives.

June 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 7 Jun 2024 01:31:18 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/june-2024-energy-report/We are in the 6th month of the year and if it feels like you’re just barely recovering from January hold on tight because June is a month of wild times, wild energy, wild cards, and everything else. For many months I have been saying that June is the month when we will see momentous changes happening at every level, individual and collective. Pay attention to the changes going on in the world around you as you process the changes in your own life.

One of the aspects of 3D/5D ascension integration is the harmonization of the individual and collective so that there is the emergence of unanimity – the concept of the single soul. This is not being the same, it is being sourced from the same Source. We are all part of the Source soul, our Source of light. But we are each individual and individualized expressions of that Source soul.
This is not the ‘singularity of man and computer as envisioned by the cartoonish figurehead of the WEF, this is the full alignment and embodiment of ourselves as expressions of the Source soul and light. This becomes a new potential in June and we will see a new level of connection, community, and cooperation (all 5D energies) this month.

June is also the month named after the Roman goddess Juno, representing marriage, fertility, and love and in some ways women’s empowerment. This is why June is the traditional marriage month. She was the wife of Jupiter, king of the gods, after all. June was also the daughter of Saturn, probably not the world’s best father figure. Interesting that we celebrate Father’s Day this month too. At a time when women and their identities are being assaulted and usurped at every level, this is a time to reclaim female sovereignty and its expression as the unique domain of women. June is our guide in this process.
A return to Source and re-sourcing our energy is this month’s energy theme as we reclaim our energy and simultaneously move into its 5D expression starting the first of the month, more on that later.
June 2024 has a numerology value of 5 which is the number of transformation. 5 is between the 4 of stability and the grounded energy body – body, mind, emotions, and spirit – and the descension of 6, when we bring in the new energies necessary to align our intention for material transformation with spiritual expansion.
5 is the number of transition between spiritual and material, the integration of human and spirit, the embodiment of our human self with our divine Self. And through this we are able to express our embodiment of the integration of 5D into 3D. This Is the day to day ascension journey – it is not the unicorn and fairy land of the unrealistic ideal that many people teach. As I always say, “ascension is an integration, not a takeover.”
5 is an awkward number and it requires release or expansion to feel balanced. That’s why its transformational potential is so important. We either go back to the stability of our comfort zone we can find with a 4, or we step it up to embrace spiritual expansion with a 6. Either way, a 5 month is focused on transformation to create what I call the ABC of Energy mastery – Alignment, Balance, and Congruence.
We begin June with a rare and potent aspect, Jupiter in Gemini trine (120 degrees) Pluto in Aquarius and it’s exact to the degree and second. I could not find a historical instance of this aspect in over 2000 years. Here we have the themes of 5D integration, spiritual growth and maturity, karma release, and new paradigms. As I have been writing about the spiritual trifecta with Jupiter, Venus, and Neptune for the past three weeks, this takes it one step farther because Jupiter rules Gemini’s opposite sign of Sagittarius so it is injecting a higher vibe of alignment, balance, and congruence into Gemini – a sign that can be undone with confusion, doubt, and indecision.
This sets the tone for June’s energy.

Time for an Energy Field Cleanup

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 29 May 2024 00:00:15 +0000

If you haven’t figured it out by now we had 20 X Class solar flares last week – yes 20 and that was not all, we also had dozens of M and C class solar flares. It was a week to remember. The excitement doesn’t happen at the time of the solar flares though, it happens afterwards, when we have to process the energy we have been bombarded with. Some people feel this more than others but everyone is impacted in some way. We start a new week of charm, potential, and a little bit of luck as we finally break the Aries/Taurus logjam only to move part of it to Gemini. So we move from action and value to communication and karma. The fun doesn’t stop. But seriously, we are in a good position to make strong headway on our ascension path with all of the resources we have available to us. And we have a spiritual trifecta with Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune! It’s a blessed, lucky week so gear up, fly high, and shine on. Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.

May 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 1 May 2024 23:04:18 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/may-2024-energy-report/If you wonder why I always put the year in the monthly Energy Reports it’s because I have over 10 years of energy reports on the website and two files cannot have the same name. So I had to choose between giving each one a different name (other than Energy Report) or adding the year to the name which is what I decided to do. I started writing these energy reports as our downloads and shifts started to become more frequent and more defined. They have always given insights as to the nature of the month’s potential and the central energetic theme.

My monthly energy reports are my most read, shared, and downloaded articles every month and I know many of you look forward to them. I know others write monthly energy reports, copying my format and messaging. While I do not like it when others steal my ideas and work, they serve their audiences according to their energy and if that means appropriating ideas, concepts, and information from others to do so, in the end their karma will catch up with them.

You may not have noticed (but you probably did) that at 11:00PM Universal time on April 30, just before May began, we had an X-Class solar flare which I thought was a great way to usher in a new month and cut ties to the old one. We also had a rare and potent astro aspect that is our example of ascension because it involves the divine masculine and divine feminine. More on that in a minute.

May is the 5th month of the year and in an 8 year (2024) that is a 13 or a 4. Now pay attention to 13 because it is a mystical number, not unlucky. 13 is one step beyond our 12 dimensions, it is the number of universal alchemy, and the number of full embodiment of faith and form, which we also call human and material.

In numerology we add any double digits so 1 + 3 = 4 and that is the number of stability, aligned action, guided determination, and formation. April was a 3 month which fosters creativity and ideas, in which what we thought we knew was dis-integrated to make way for new thoughts and ideas. Now we can put those into play. I saw a lot of friendships and relationships dissolve in April and many were past their prime, held together by thin threads of hope and expectations but something pushed them over the edge and that was one of the byproducts of the April 8 eclipse.

May opens with a fabulous expression of divine masculine and divine feminine energy with Mars moving from Pisces into Aries (its astro home) and Venus moving into Taurus (its astro home) from Aries. Both of these planets moved from their natural 12th to the first house. I will give you an overview here and if you are in the Core 4 Pillars of Karma program, I am adding it to the curriculum because it’s a great way to learn more about your karma path.
Your natural 12th is the house before your Sun placement, and I believe it refers to your karma, life lessons, and the healing and overall purpose of your lifetime. If you are an Aries Sun sign and your sun is in the 6th house then Pisces, the 5th house, is your natural 12th.

Breaking the spiritual bubble

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 23:27:49 +0000

I looked through my 21 year article archive which contains over 5000 articles and various pieces of content and I do not think I have ever written about this topic before. Maybe because until the last 5 to 6 years we had to exist in a spiritual bubble because that is how we did our energy work and maintained our energetic balance.

But now things are different. We are well into the ascension path, we are present in far greater numbers and the collective energy frequency is very high, we have done a lot of 5D integration into 3D so the density is not the problem. So what is going on?

I recently posted on social media that we are seeing the fully polarized 3D earth grid, dark vs light. At one end we have the full darkness of 3D density and at the other end we have 5D light and energy and there is a big energy gap in between. We are moving into duality, which is multi-dimensionality.

This is the concept of ‘heaven on earth’ and we are now able to integrate both 3D and 5D, no more separation or veil between the spiritual and material worlds.

Polarity and duality are not the same thing, which I have been saying for years. The words do not even mean the same thing, look them up. So when I hear people using the terms polarity and duality in the same sentence to describe the separation between the spiritual and material worlds it is irritating and annoying. They do not know what they are talking about and if they bothered to look up the words they would know that.

We are moving out of polarity and into duality, which is full multi-dimensionality, the ability to integrate multiple dimensions into our reality. It’s still in early stages which is why you can feel off balance, out of synch, you drop things, stumble, or fall because your sense of space is altered. With practice that will improve and get easier to manage. For now, be careful and pay attention to your physical surroundings because when you are operating on a multi-dimensional level it is easy to hurt yourself, drop things, or lose your sense of your physical space. We do a lot of this integration work during our daily coma naps but it can happen to us during the day too.

This polarizing of our 3D reality is plain and clear and we see it in a growing awareness of the illusion we have known as our reality and truth that has been hidden. read the rest of this article on the blog at this link.

Karma, trauma, worms, and lighting it up

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 20:43:06 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/karma-trauma-worms-light/ https://enlighteninglife.com/karma-trauma-worms-light/I got the title for this article and podcast from research on US legislation I had to do so I could write a course for the University of Phoenix, whose e-business program I wrote in the early 2000s. A few years after the Patriot Act was enacted they had asked me to research and report on data safeguarding requirements under the Patriot Act. One of the requirements was called the WORM process, where WORM stands for Write Once Read Many. This process required that data could be written once and never changed but it could be read unlimited times. Once you entered the data it was permanently inscribed and could not be altered. But you could look at that data as many times as you wanted to.

What an appropriate concept for how we process and handle our karma and trauma. We write it into our energy field once at the time it happened, and then we read it over and over again, each time we are in a similar situation. If you want to create your high vibes, joyful life you need to understand your WORMs of karma and trauma and deal with them. Now is better than later and a lot better than never.

How do you write karma and trauma into your energy field? Let me ask you a question – do you remember the last time you had an interaction with someone in your life who has always been a source of irritation, annoyance, frustration, and anxiety? Are you afraid of repeating this behavior with each interaction? Do you dread talking to them because you know that it’s going to be another rehash of why you’re a terrible, no-good, bad, inept, untalented, unattractive, and unsuccessful person?

Do you remember the first time they made you feel that way? You wrote that experience once into your energy field and every time you think about, see, or talk to that person, that old data comes up, that situation gets repeated, and all of the energy around it rises to the surface and starts eating away at your joy, peace, and peace of mind, heart, and spirit.

Was there ever a time when you felt comfortable around them or did you always feel that you had something to prove with them, that they were a threat to you, toxic, or even dangerous? Welcome to your karma.

Now that you know what this is and how it works, let’s look at your WORMs of karma and trauma. We will look at the past and at your hidden and not so hidden fears, anxieties, doubts, and challenges.

Here we will use what I call the miracle cancelling words from my Miracle Mastery course and my book 30 Days to Everyday Miracles. These words cancel your miracles because they are critical, judgmental, negative, and blaming. Words like never, should, should have, did not, cannot, and others judge you for not doing something – not making the right choices, decisions or moves, taking action too late or too soon, missing opportunities, being afraid, not getting approval, and more.

Does any of this resonate with you? How often have you heard those voices of blame, shame, guilt, condemnation, criticism, and judgment speak to you?

April 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 2 Apr 2024 10:04:44 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/april-2024-energy-report/It’s a new month and if you’re still wondering what happened in March, you won’t have too much time to think about it because April is a new vibe with a lot of action even though the month starts with the beginning of another Mercury retrograde. Isn’t it interesting that 2024 started with the end of the last 2023 Mercury retrograde and Mercury retrograde is all about review, reconsider, release, restart, and let’s not forget rest and relax. We have a new month, a big eclipse, we’re already in the eclipse portal, and we are seeing ascension action all around us even if it does look very weird right now.

April is a 4 month in an 8 year so we have a 12 or 3 vibe (1+2=3) which is highly creative, communicative, and connected. 3 represents the divine trinity body, mind, and spirit or human, higher self, and Source, the holy trinity in the Christian church is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And Nicola Tesla famously said ‘if you understand the significance of 3, 6, and 9 you understand the key to the universe.” That may not happen in its entirety this month but we can make a good start.

The first gift of April is Mercury retrograde, which starts April 1. It’s in Aries, which could be a real annoyance for all Aries or any action takers but we have Aries’ ruler Mars in Pisces, which creates an Alpha Omega portal and that is going to be a source of inspiration and not frustration and vexation. This will serve to slow us down so we can consider all options, take a 360 view of every situation, instead of just looking at what is right in front of us or trying to get away from what is chasing us, and not only consider multiple modes of action BUT also different potentials. If letting go is your option, do that. But if that is not your only option, then consider new and different potentials as a solution. It’s time to uplevel and rise up.

How many of you are creatures of habit, you do the same things in the same way all of the time, just like your parents or family did, and their parents and family before them did?. Do you remember my story about the grapefruit and how I did not know that it is possible to peel a grapefruit like an orange? I share it in the podcast and while it is about how a new way of eating grapefruit was revealed to me, but it’s more about what we don’t know because no one we know knows enough to know that there is a different way to be or to do things.

Mercury retrograde is also an opportunity for us to use our intuition, to refer to our inner guidance, and to give ourselves the energy, time, and space to reconsider, review, refer, renew, and relax when we’re faced with choices and decisions. Yes we generally have to re-do things done in Mercury retro but that’s usually because we get too hasty and we don’t listen to or heed the intuition warning signs that ask us to slow down and pause.

Equinox 2024 is our happy new year

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 19:10:26 +0000

https://enlighteninglife.com/equinox-elevate-expand/I know that I talk a lot about the energy movements and you know it’s because you feel them too. From the time I started my website and newsletters in February 2004, energy assessment has been a big part of the process. Who remembers when we would get big energy downloads that would flatten us for 2 or 3 days? I do. I also remember the fatigue, nausea, and lack of motivation that we would have to fight through.

We are still doing that on a much different level and as we have now moved through the wretched, wrecking Pluto in Capricorn years, from 2008 to 2023, we are now in a stronger, wiser, and more balanced place. That is if we have fully recovered because those were rough times, they were for me anyway.

We are entering the Spring Equinox week, which is the start of the new astrology calendar. In the natural world the calendar should begin with March and the Equinox, as it did in Roman times. In fact, this was the calendar until 1751 when it was changed by the UK Parliament.

But this is no ordinary Equinox, it has several energy aspects that are going to add new elements to the existing volatile mix of energies.

We have the Spring Equinox in a good aspect with Pluto in Aquarius. The Equinox is the start of Aries season and action oriented Aries just loves freedom oriented Aquarius so that’s a good thing. It is also going to expand our desire for freedom in all ways - energetic, emotional, physical, mental, and creatively on both the personal and collective levels.

We have two Alpha Omega portals that encompass the entire zodiac happening this week. I introduced this concept at least 10 years ago when I noticed that particular energy aspects created a lot of opportunity for endings and beginnings. Normally involving a two new moons at the first and last degrees of a sign, they also include aspects which feature Aries and Pisces, as we have now.
The first Alpha Omega portal is with the Equinox in Aries and Mars, as Mars rules Aries. You have the sign ruled by Mars in prominence for 30 days and Mars, Aries’ ruler, moving into Pisces just days after the Equinox.
The second Alpha Omega portal has been in effect since mid-July 2023 and it’s highlighted now with Chiron, and it’s the moon North Node in Aries and Neptune in Pisces. While the Nodes are a mathematical point, they are considered to be the first aspect of the zodiac chart and are quite important in the energetics of the moment. This Alpha Omega portal is a collective call to spiritual awareness and it is certainly contributing to the awakening we are seeing every day.

A growing call to spiritual maturity and to integrate more of our spirituality into our humanity. This is not about wearing beads and flowing robes and going vegan, this is a full integration of our spiritual self into the entirety of our energy field.
We associate the ‘third eye’ with spiritual sight and insight but what about the rest of the body and the energy centers? How do they participate? When do we bring them in? In the past we have not even considered this but now it’s part of the process and it also involves the integration of self and Self, human and divine, material and spiritual. We’re in new and uncharted territory here, as this is part of our 5D energy integration. It is also what I am introducing with the 5D I AM Paradigm program, learn more about that here.

This call to spiritual maturity, grounding, and balance is the contribution that Saturn in Pisces is making. I am not one of those who think this is a ‘bad’ aspect, not at all. It is a very disciplining aspect, the result of Saturn’s 30 year cycle through the 12 zodiac houses, forcing each one to stand up and pay attention and do its very best. Go back to January 1994 to know when Saturn’s journey in Pisces started, that was when this spiritual cycle began.

And we are in an eclipse window which starts with the full moon eclipse on March 25 and then the celebrated total eclipse on April 8. The excitement is building.

March 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 6 Mar 2024 00:32:41 +0000

There’s so much going on in March that it is hard to know where to begin. If you have been following my facebook posts I shared one of my favorite orchestral pieces, the Parade of the Charioteers from the movie Ben-Hur. It is a piece I have played a lot when I played in orchestras and it is one of the most majestic, inspiring musical compositions. This is how I see the month of March entering the stage. I have posted a link to the Andre Rieu orchestra playing on the blog page below.

There is a lot happening in March, including an eclipse, Mercury shadow retro, the spring equinox, and easter. I will start with the numbers not because they are more important than anything else but because when we have a month or year with an 11 value a lot of things are going on. March is the 3rd month in an 8 value year, and that’s an 11. Now we will have another 11 month in December 2024, so bear in mind what you learn about this month because we get a repeat of this energy in December. I know that seems far off but it is only 8 months from now. Look at how quickly the year has gone by already (well, at least parts of it).

11 is a master number and the number of the spiritual initiate. This is the beginning of our initiation into spiritual integrity – not learning about spirituality but actually becoming the synergy of human and divine, spiritual and material, the integrated 3D/5D paradigm that is the soul mission of this lifetime.

When we work with the 11 energy we have to learn to integrate a spiritual perspective into everything and start thinking of ourselves as aligned with spirit. Sidebar here – we do not need to master spirit, go back 1000 lifetimes and try to figure out where it all began, get rid of the ego (this is very bad advice), find another thing to heal, go on silent retreats (I would never even consider that), spend hours in meditation, or fast for a month (also not a good idea).

Those activities are fine if we want to satisfy our curiosity about how much torture we can take, but they do not have any long term value when it comes to the step on our ascension path that we are being presented with and that is full integration – the merging of spiritual and material which creates a new paradigm of evolution.

Access Your Secret Dream Treasure

support@enlighteninglife.com (dreams, Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 05:00:00 +0000

When I talk about dreams here I am not referring to the visions you have during your sleep that provide explanations, insight, and sometimes foreshadow events in your life. I am talking about the vision for your life, the plans, goals, wishes, and hopes that you have for what you want to be and to become, what you want in your life, and what you want to accomplish. If this subject makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. So often our dreams and vision for our life are met with judgment, ridicule, dismissal, criticism, denial.

And when that happens we think we’re wrong, our dreams are bad or wrong, so we set them aside and do what is acceptable and accepted.

A few years ago I shared the quote ‘Dreams are the music your life dances to’. How many of you are dancing or have you become permanent wallflowers, no longer dancing because the music of your soul has been silenced? You can occasionally hear the music of your dreams but it is quickly silenced by your fears and past disappointments. When are you going to start dancing to the music of your dreams again?

How many of your dreams have you hidden away from everyone, even yourself, because you were afraid to show and to share them? What have you thought about every day and wished it would happen but silently and secretly feared it would not? Who do you share these dreams with that will regard them with the same anticipation and potential that you do? Probably no one.

Well, you could share them with me and I would be happy to help you expand them into a beautiful reality. But that positive audience is probably very limited and maybe you’re even still remembering the criticism or ridicule you received long ago and you don’t want to go through that again.

The problem is that all of you who are ascension pioneers came here to share your dreams and visions, to expand your reality and realize these bold dreams. But you also thought that sharing them and getting acknowledgement, approval, and support of those in your soul group would be part of the process. Unfortunately, the same people who hold you back today have always been your biggest detractors, your biggest judges, and your most vocal critics.

February 2024 energy report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 4 Feb 2024 02:22:33 +0000

It’s February and we are witnessing a change of the guard in many ways. This new month is really the fresh start we were hoping for this year because January was full of loose ends, clearing up unfinished business, major setbacks, and very heavy energy. That wasn’t surprising given that we were closing up the Pluto in Capricorn cycle, a 16 year process of upending everything in our 3D material world and preparing us for massive change on the individual and collective levels. Now that that’s over, we can start looking forward to the promise of fresh starts and new beginnings of the powerful 8 year that is 2024.

In February we find ourselves in Aquarius territory and with Pluto just beginning its 20 year transit there, that energy gets an extra special blessing and attention. I don’t agree with those who say that Pluto is the planet of death, destruction, and misery. Pluto only destroys that which we have put off destroying and points out what should have been dead long ago because it is way past its use by date. Pluto prunes the dead wood, but it doesn’t touch the viable growth unless what is getting its attention is rotten from the core, then all bets are off and Pluto does what it does best – raze everything to the ground so we can start over. Haven’t we seen quite a lot of that in the past 5 years?

February 2024 ushers in a 10 vibration which is the number of fresh starts and action from a place of pure potential. Simply put, it’s a time for a return to the basics, setting intention and creating miracles. Manifestation is a strong point of February but not the kind that gets us out of a jam, the kind that requires us to acknowledge our mastery and start using our energy in ways that benefit us in both the short and long term. I have been talking for a long time about how we need to stop the healing cycles, acknowledge our own path, and start moving forward in our own direction.

I know that is hard to do when we are noticing how much people around us need help and support but it’s time to draw the line and make your energy boundaries strong.

In February the messages is to Embrace Enlightenment as we enter this new Age of Enlightenment. But that’s a topic with many variations. As we enlighten ourselves, which means to light up our own lives, we can discover a lot of things hidden in the dark recesses where we put them so many years or lifetimes ago. Long forgotten dreams, delayed goals, plans set aside because of time, timing, events, and life itself. It’s time to get those out of their dark closets and re-visit them.

Is there something you have always wanted to do, to become, or to experience? Now’s the time to consider it. Even if you are not ready to take action right now, those old dreams and goals are going to become important this year and next, so give them some room to expand.

January 2024 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 8 Jan 2024 19:39:00 +0000

It is January and we are in a year that promises fresh starts and new beginnings. After the heavy energy of the last 4 years, and especially that of 2023, we are ready for anything that is not a repeat of the past. But before we try to move ahead too quickly January’s energy will be sending us reminders that any old business which crops up requires our attention and resolution. Completion and closure are especially important now and if we don’t want a repeat of the past we will have to give it some attention now and then.

This newsletter marks my 21st year of writing and sharing these insights, resources, and information with the world. Little did I know, when I was first contacted in October 2003 by Archangel Uriel, that I would be doing this work for over 2 decades. To be honest, I thought it would be about 6 months and then I would continue with my career in business and technology. In fact, all I wanted to do was to be ‘a senior VP of IT in a fortune 50 company.’ Just goes to show that the Universe has its own plans. I don’t regret any of it, it has been an honor and a privilege to be part of this ascension cycle. But it has had its moments and we have shared a lot together.

And when I was sharing the GPS 2024 theme of the SHIFT with my guides, I had to laugh because the first series I wrote in February 2004 with the first newsletter was on the shift, so we have come full circle.

In the 8 year that is 2024 January’s 1 energy makes this month a 9 vibe which is the number of completion. So yes there will be times when we have to go over old ground as we prepare for new paths. That is not a bad thing, it’s simply part of life. The difference now is we can truly put the past in the past where it belongs and not have it crop up at the most inconvenient times and disrupt the present, preventing us from moving forward.

2024 Predictions

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 1 Jan 2024 12:52:23 +0000

My annual predictions are a deep dive into the energetic potential of the new year and I have been writing them for over 15 years. Every year, since we began this ascension cycle in late 2003 has been another level of our journey, each one has provided us with a new perspective on our mission, purpose, learning, healing, and evolution. Each one has had its challenges and its blessings, its good times, and its bad times. There were times when things looked very dark, as they have especially during the last 4 years, and somehow we managed to turn a corner and elevate to a new energy level.

In the December Energy Report I wrote that we are at a pinnacle and a precipice, the pinnacle represents the final point in this journey, and the precipice is the abyss that is the ‘other’ option because at this juncture there is no gray area, it is an ‘either/or’ proposition. This is not a doom and gloom prediction, just a statement of the situation as it is. But we know where we will finish because we always have the light and another level of ascension and evolution to move us forward.

We cannot talk about the new year in 2024 without mentioning one of its huge turning points, the entry of Pluto into Aquarius on January 21. Pluto’s long transit in Capricorn was our ascension testing ground, and it did test us in many ways. In 2020 we had a rare Saturn/Pluto conjunction which set off the lessons in darkness and tyranny that challenged us on every level. But 2 years later we had the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Pisces, a rare event that heralds spiritual awakening.

Once again we had the light to guide our way out of the darkness and while we did not exit that part of the journey without some scratches and bruises, we did not fall into the abyss – although it felt like it came close.

Our ascension journey is not a straight line, it is a spiral. And we eventually reach the top of the spiral, as we have now. At that pinnacle point we can move into a new dimensional level, and this is where we are at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. The finish line becomes the new starting point.

We have a new year celebration every January but this year is different, you can already feel the excitement of a new beginning, a fresh start, and a new paradigm. Maybe it’s because we have been through every challenge and limitation and problem in the past 4 years that we could possibly endure and we are at the end of that path and surprise, we are still standing (mostly).

2024 has some powerful energies, big opportunities, great potential, and tough choices. We really do have to limit how we’re using our energy now and who and what we are sharing it with. And forget all of that healing work, we are quickly moving away from the martyred healer work and into Empowered Mastery. But that comes with a few guidelines, such as managing our expectations of ourselves and of others, being more congruent with our own potential, and having clear and direct intentions that we resonate with.

Intention is so important in 2024 that it is part of the 2024 theme of the SHIFT, more on that in a minute. Equally as important as intention is resonance, the energetic balance and synergy which ensures that what we are intending is energetically aligned with us in every way. For a long time we have created energetic balance with our own energy resources but we can no longer do that as the energy gaps are too big and our own new paradigms are too compelling.

We want to be in joy, harmony, and flow, and we cannot do that when we are parsing out our energy to heal, fix, and encourage others to become energetically aligned with us. I know it is hard to relinquish a healing path we have followed for lifetimes but we cannot have 5D energetic congruence if we are stuck in 3D karma healing missions. Many of us have experienced that in the past few years.

Endings and Beginnings Goodbye 2023

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 20:15:29 +0000

I am happy to see 2023 end and I know many of you are too. This year has been tough but so have the past 4 years. Since 2020 we have been undergoing vast changes in the fundamental fabric of our reality, the dis-integration of 3D and the integration of 5D. But the truth is we entered this paradigm shift in 2008, when Pluto entered Capricorn, starting the second global revolution against 3D, the previous one happened in 1762.

If this has changed your life in every way, don’t worry, 2024 is going to bring relief and restitution but this does not involve bringing back what we lost. That is gone forever, especially whatever was firmly rooted in 3D. What we have access to now is the ascended reality, the 5D paradigm, and new levels of awareness, enlightenment, and truth.

This final week of 2024 features the final full moon of the year, a powerhouse of energy with no less than 4 Alpha Omega Portals and another farewell to the Pluto in Capricorn generation. At a time when everyone is home celebrating the holidays with family and friends, how fitting that this year’s full moon is in Cancer, the sign that rules the home and emotions.

2024 brings some monumental changes to the individual and global paradigms so get ready to step up your intention and manifestation, especially the part that involves what you receive and how you expand your reality because you are the central beneficiary in this new paradigm and your well-being is your key to success, joy, peace, love, and abundance.

To anchor in this new energy and reality we need to look at how we describe these aspects because they are not appropriate for what we are moving into. I have always said that the idea of consciousness was limited because what we are really graduating into energetically is awareness. Someone who is breathing and whose eyes are open is called conscious. But when we raise our vibe, expand our field of potential, and create new possibilities for our reality, we move from consciousness to awareness. This is where we are now. Awareness happens after awakening, realization, and often, a hard dose of truth. Haven’t we had a lot of that since 2020?

What is truth? It is whatever we believe is true. There is the spiritual Truth which is the truth of energy, frequency, and vibration. Everything else is an individual opinion, judgment, or an interpretation of truth. We all have our own truth and that is what we believe is true. It does not matter if no one else believes us because our truth is true for us. The problem happens when we try to justify our truth by getting others to join in and believe us, to ratify our truth by making it part of their own truth. That doesn’t go over too well.

The Power of Empowerment

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 16 Dec 2023 02:34:32 +0000

I had never really met anyone who was truly not empowered until I hosted a coaching program for women leaving prison in Kansas City. I had offered the program to an organization that provide re-integration services for these women, some of whom had been in prison for decades. The experiences I had with them, the transformation I saw in them, and the results of providing them with information on how to be empowered was inspiring and very fulfilling. If you do not think being empowered is important, you’ll understand why it has been a focus of my work for 20 years when you read or listen to this article.

I know what it is like to be disempowered after spending 5 years dealing with paralysis, two of them as a total quadriplegic with no motion below my neck and having to spend 2 years in the hospital. Even as a child, it was frustrating and scary, and I was completely dependent on others to care for me. Incapable of doing the smallest thing for myself, I remember waiting to be taken care of because I simply could not take care of myself.

When I volunteered to provide lifestyle coaching to an organization that worked with women leaving prison, I was not sure what I was going to encounter. I had never had any experience of people in prison and was hoping that I would be able to give them confidence, security, and some tools and resources to manage their lives.

I would like to say that the effort was successful from the start but it was not. At first the women were quiet, hesitant, and not very trusting. That was understandable, given their history and the fact that some of these women had been in prison for 30 years or more.

But as time went by, and I coached them twice a month for about 2 hours each session, we got to know each other and they started opening up. They saw me as someone they could trust and who was there to share information to help them.

One day after I had been coaching for about 2 months, a woman named Mary approached me after our session and wanted to talk. She had just been released from a 30 year prison term for murdering her boyfriend, after she found him in bed with another woman. Mary was making an effort with the coaching and although she did not share much, she really listened. She asked me if I could help her manage the demands on her time and energy by the people in her neighborhood who were always imposing on her and she felt taken advantage of by.

We talked for a while about her concerns and what she wanted to achieve with this new level of control over her connections. She said she did not want to go back to prison but she did not know how to deal with her frustration and that people simply were not listening to her when she said no.

So I told her that I knew a way of saying ‘no’ that would stop that and asked if she wanted to try it. She was eager and would try anything.

December 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 4 Dec 2023 01:46:13 +0000

December starts with a huge energy wave because of 3 events that happened in the last week of November. The first was the November 27 full moon in Gemini, which I described as being ‘karma on steroids’. The second was a huge near X-class solar flare on November 28 which was a big surprise and brought in a huge influx of high vibe energy and light. And the third was November 29 when Henry Kissinger’s death was announced. Someone told me when I was hosting the Enlightening Life LIVE broadcast and the first words out of my mouth were ‘hallelujah’. I have been waiting to hear of his demise for at least 10 years.

That night, when I went to bed, my guides told me to get back up because I had energy work to do. Kissinger’s death released an important and key pillar of 3D density on the planet and his removal meant that we could bring in a vast amount of light that had been blocked before.

I will spend some time talking about him and his evil and monstrous impact on the world in this energy report because we must never allow this level of evil to become entrenched in our geopolitical world again. Hundreds of millions of people died because of Kissinger, whose gruesome focus on forever wars, political destabilization, and socio economic manipulation caused death and destruction around the world.

Name any war, famine, depression, coup, or genocide in the last 70 years and his name is associated with it. He is also mentor to both Klaus Schwab of the WEF and George Soros. That should tell you something about the evil he embodied. But he’s dead and we are rid of him and his energy. The bright side is that there is no one to take his place, as that level of 3D density has dis-integrated and decayed into oblivion. Now we need to bring in the light to fill that 3D density block and usher in a new era and paradigm of peace.

December is both a pinnacle and a precipice. We are at a pinnacle of the ascension cycle, achieving great heights of awareness and spiritual integration. But we are also at a precipice where it could all fall into the abyss of despair and dissolution because of the immense pressure of the density we fight against and the fear of failure. We have achieved huge victories in this ascension cycle but we have also made great sacrifices. And in December we have a chance to review it all before we begin a great cycle in 2024.

December 2023 is a 10 numerology vibe but it’s a double 10 because as we have seen since October, the word December actually refers to 10 (deca means 10). Before the calendar was changed in 1751, March was the first month of the year and December was the 10th month. The names did not change when the months were displaced so we have a 10 value for December and this month 12 2023 is also a 10.

10 is 1 + 0, referring to the staff of action and the sphere of unlimited potential. 1 and 0 activate the morphogenic field (remember this from the IDEA – The Bridge from Intention to Manifestation program). 0 is not nothing, it is no thing, the deep stillness of absolute energetic potential which waits for our word to manifest into reality. The morphogenic field is the energetic field of pure potential, pure energy waiting to become form.

This is a great place to be as we end a year and several big energy cycles. If you’re feeling relief as December starts, I’m there with you. This has not been an easy year and in fact, it has been rough since 2019. That’s when my health issues started and if you have been following me here or on social media, you know that I have suffered from extreme chronic pain for the past 4 years and have just started to see healing and get relief. It has not been pleasant.

But this has been a tough year for so many of us, as we have braved health, financial, family, relationship, and other personal and professional issues. It has seemed like it would never stop, that we would never overcome the challenges and that we would never see the daylight of freedom, joy, peace, and love again after being in so much darkness. And here we are, the lights are on and it’s time for a new paradigm.

December’s theme continues what we have been experiencing since August, as the rollout of energy continues to take us wider and higher into the ascension path. The farther we delve into the ascension energy the more we increase our vibration and connect with higher dimensions of energy. In August we had the inflection point, followed by September’s Convergence, October’s Catharsis, and November’s Reclamation.

Now in December we have Restoration as we prepare to move into 2024, a year I believe will be so much easier and less challenging and problematic than we have seen in quite some time. And Restoration is a great theme to have in December since we have lost touch with the basic aspects of ourselves after the mayhem and madness of the past few years. From one day to the next the world changed and yes some of those changes have forever altered our world view but they have made us less trusting, less naïve, and more discerning of who and what we share our energy with. The events of the past few years has also brought to light the need to be empowered, congruent, unbreakable, and very clear in our intention, alignment, and embodiment of energy.

To restore means to return to existence, to bring back, to refresh, renew, refurbish, and re-vibe. What we will discover this month is that some things cannot be restored, they have completed their journey with us and are beyond their use-by date. Other things that we have forgotten, ignored, or left by the wayside will call to us because it is time to bring them back. Some of those things include our joy, power, energy, affection, trust, and commitment. If we have been committed to things that are not aligned with our own joy and potential, we won’t be able to restore them especially if that means we have to lose part of ourselves in the process.

Karma the Final Frontier

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 23:00:00 +0000

I have long suspected that I had some serious past life issues around being a prisoner, being shackled, persecuted, tormented, judged and suffering as a result of injustice, abuse of power, persecution, and control. But I had no idea, until serious health issues forced me to look deeply within my energetic and karma core for clues to understanding why this was happening in my life and understand how far back these energetic imprints go and to what extent I have lived my life through them.

For many years I joked that I must have frozen to death Ina past life because I hate being cold and I always have a jacket or sweater with me, extra clothes in my car, and am always prepared for inclement weather. I wasn’t wrong, I just didn’t know it at the time.

For the past five years I have noticed this trend in my clients too, as I can always trace present life issues to past life traumas and show them how they can be healed and overcome. And these past life issues generally come up around serious life issues that they feel very challenged and disempowered by.

I used to do past life readings 20 years ago and they were always interesting and highly correlated to what was going on in someone’s current lifetime. Every challenging theme in someone’s life today was a reflection of some important karmic issue from their past. Here’s one of my favorites from these past life readings out of the hundreds that I have done. (listen to the podcast for details of this karma history).

In my case, some of my karmic history included a time when I starved to death in a French dungeon, where I was shackled to a wall for expressing my political beliefs. In another place which looked like ancient Sumeria, I was a powerful teacher who was enslaved by the government, persecuted, imprisoned, and eventually executed for refusing to deny my beliefs that opposed existing dogma.

And in ancient Egypt I was an imprisoned queen, on public display in a cage, shackled at the ankles and used as a war trophy to intimidate and control my people by those who had overrun and occupied my country. In these past lifetimes, the person (me) was immobilized, imprisoned, and profoundly persecuted, which are powerful karmic themes for me today. I lost everything because of others’ jealousy and betrayals.

November 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 6 Nov 2023 02:28:33 +0000

November is a fresh start after October’s eclipses and that’s a welcome change. Eclipses always shake things up, reveal what’s hidden, bring situations to a head, and challenge us to find new options when what was once a permanent fixture in our lives is reduced to rubble. November brings in the 9 energy and like October, it’s double 9s because November was once the ninth month (novem means nine) and it’s the number of completion. November’s themes are Energy Reclamation and TRIM (which stands for Transformation – Release/Renewal -- Intention/Integration-- Mastery/Manifestation) and with the retrogrades ending this month, fresh starts and new perspectives are possible.

November is the 11th month, but it was the ninth month in the Roman calendar. In 2023, a 7 year, November is a 9 value, the number of completion. But we need to expand the meaning of ‘being over’ – look at how 9 is written. You have the staff and the circle, 1 and 0, beginning and end. 1 is the word becoming matter and 0 is the infinite potential, the morphogenic field of energetic potential waiting for a word to materialize. This is the cycle of infinite creation. I find it interesting that basic computer binary code is written with 1 and 0.

Completion is more than endings, it is being whole and lacking nothing, being finished, fulfilled, and at peace with what we can say is a perfect masterpiece. Here perfection is not measured by the outcome and there is no failure. We have achieved perfection in our performance, our participation, and in what we could accomplish. Within my definition of forgiveness, completion and closure are prominent aspects because completion allows us to move away knowing we have done all we can, and our role has been fulfilled and closure allows us to do that without guilt or shame or regrets.

November’s themes are Reclamation and TRIM and both refer to how we connect, align with, and use our energy. Reclamation is the process of reclaiming your energy and it is a lot more than getting your power back. This is recalling your energy across lifetimes of energy drains such as grief, disappointments, unmet expectations, drama, trauma, loss, anger, sadness, regret, and the whole host of energies that arise with our karmic partners. It is our intention to remove our energetic participation in situations, memories, challenges, and any activity that is draining our energy away from our present moment.

October 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 2 Oct 2023 00:12:24 +0000

I think that we have collectively been wishing for 2023 to be over because it has been a tough year. It’s been a year of awakening and realizations, of smashed illusions at every level, and of trying to put our lives back to normal after the past 3 years of turmoil. But in spite of the challenges this year seems to have flown by and here we are at the beginning of the final quarter. October is going to bring much anticipated change and it’s a wild card month with 2 eclipses, Pluto goes direct with another US Pluto return, ascension expansion and acceleration, a growing crowd on the 4D bridge, a lot of pent up energy waiting to be released, and an expanding collective awareness that is accelerating our ascension path and the 3D/5D integration.

October can be a barn burner or a page turner and maybe some of both. It’s definitely going to be interesting, and we may even get the opportunity to say ‘I told you so’ a few times.

If you watched my Autumn Equinox September 23 broadcast we did a collective release and clearing of the souls, grief, and trauma energies of those who have fallen in battle in our communities, those whose lives have been taken from them, and those who died suddenly and violently. I was told by my guides to do this in my area as it has been the site of many battles since the mid-1700s.

Those of you who did it noticed a big release and a change in the area you live in. This has been a release of a portion of your Portal Keeper missions, your energy anchor assignments, and your karmic connections to locations and the people in them.

This clearing was something we did to facilitate the arrival of new light, energy, and frequencies. It also helped close some very ancient low frequency portals in those areas so new, higher vibe portals can open. It’s going to help start the flow of new energies now so those of you who want to go can leave, new people can move in, and it prepares the areas you will be moving to if that is what you want to do.

It had to be done by the people who live there because they hold the energy codes and light keys that are specific to those areas, and they are the energy anchors and portal keepers for those areas.

There is so much we have already done and there is still some work left to do but we are making progress. We’re still moving through the rest of this year and October is a turning point in that process.

Grief Trauma and Addictions

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 00:51:45 +0000

Energy awareness is rising to the collective consciousness and hopefully it will lead to an understanding of how energy impacts our lives, choices, and physical and emotional realities. Now you hear terms like energy frequency, vibration, high vibes, resonance, and alignment all of the time but this is relatively new. For a long time those of us who talked about energy (me since 2003) would get an eye roll or a shoulder shrug.

People didn’t want to think or talk about it because until we really reached a peak level of 5D integration, our primary energy movement and awareness was emotional. But with 5D we have a much larger energy spectrum to work with and we are operating at a level far above emotions although our emotions are how we process energy so they are involved too.

What happens when we cannot balance our emotional energy with our grief, trauma, and pain and our spiritual energy connection is out of whack? We turn to addictions to fill in the energy gaps and we can be addicted to anything – it is not an issue that only involves addictive substances like drugs or alcohol, we can be addicted to our own emotions too, as well as people, energies, things, outcomes, and our own guilt, shame, and grief. Addictions describe anything that we have no control over, that we have surrendered our will to. If you have addictions you know that they are in control, they are in charge, and they dictate how you will live your life. We really are powerless in the face of our addictions when we do not understand or know how to manage this energy pattern and habit.

I once knew someone who was addicted to shopping. She spent thousands of dollars on clothes, shoes, and jewelry on her daily shopping trips and this was before the days of the internet. When she maxed out her credit cards, she got new ones under different names. She had a secret post office box where her mail was sent so her husband didn’t see the credit card bills.

Her closets were full of new, unworn clothes with tags, and she still bought more. She was driving her family to bankruptcy but she could not stop. Budgeting was not an option, she would buy expensive jewelry, designer clothes, and anything that caught her fancy. Once I went shopping with her and there was a sale on a new brand of shapewear. There were 10 packages in the bin and she bought all 10. I asked her why she didn’t buy one or two packages and she just looked at me, slightly embarrassed. She knew what I meant but she could not answer me. One or two wasn’t enough, she had to have them all. And the next day she would buy more because the grief void filled by today’s shopping spree would be empty tomorrow.

In those days she was called a ‘shopaholic’ someone who was addicted to shopping. What drove her behavior was a deep, driving need for attention, to feel special, loved, and valued. Shopping was the only thing that made her happy and buying herself things filled in the emotional black hole created by parents who did not pay attention to her, meet her needs, and who ignored her.

Any addiction is a powerful drive to engage in behaviors we do not understand or cannot control but it is the combination of an emotional need together with an energetic trauma that we are grieving which creates an opening for addictive behavior.

September 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 6 Sep 2023 18:09:36 +0000

This is the beginning of the season that I truly enjoy with its cooler temperatures during the day and especially at night, as the leaves change color and the sky turns that brilliant blue that you only see at this time of the year. September begins harvest season as farmers and gardeners reap the bounty of their efforts during the summer. If you have ever worked on the farm, you know that autumn is a busy season as you rush to harvest before the weather makes it difficult or ruins your crops.

The September Energy Report is sponsored by Energy Purpose & Soul and the monthly energy toolkit. Your essential resource for navigating the sometimes difficult and challenging energies of these ascension pathways. Each Monthly Energy Toolkit contains a detailed report on the month’s energies with additional insights on the energy themes and how to use them to your best advantage. You also receive an energy activation with a guided meditation, themed wallpapers for your desktop and phone, two clarifying calls each month with Jennifer where you can ask questions and a month-end spiritual Saturday community call where you can connect with other members in the Energy Purpose & Soul Community. It’s the resource you need each month for peace of mind and heart, empowered intention, and aligning with the energies of that month’s energies in the best and most beneficial way.

This is our gathering time, the time to bring in the harvest and with the harvest comes the winnowing, where we separate the wheat from the chaff, what we want to take with us on the next part of our journey and what is no longer relevant or resonant. And if you’re a gardener like me, it’s time to can, freeze, and preserve the bounty of your garden. While I enjoy modern conveniences and the availability of grocery stores, the state of the food industry and my own thrifty nature means I mostly make my own food and stock up now.

September is for action with an eye on both the past and the future, taking stock of where we have come from with an equally discerning eye on where we are going next. We’re preparing for the future as we are simultaneously winding down the past.

So this is not a month for solitude, solitary contemplation, meditation, or spending too much time reviewing the past, in spite of September’s retrogrades and 7 vibe. This is a month for the future, opening new pathways, and considering other options, and for looking at what we have been creating on our life path. Even with a hefty slate of retrograde action, September is a month to take action and to be part of the action, creating our own action as we embrace our power and empowerment and light our own path.

September is a 7 vibration which is the number of the seeker so many astrologers say it’s a time for introspection, solitude, and contemplation. And I disagree strongly. To be honest, I am tired of being told to contemplate, rest, go inward, and stop every month. As an Aries this goes against my nature but just as many astrologers tell you to avoid doing anything while Mercury is retrograde, that aspect encompasses up to 39 weeks a year.

There are only 52 weeks in a year. Does this mean that I have only 13 weeks a year to get stuff done? Poppycock or bollocks as my UK friends would say. In France we would say ‘n’importe quoi’. Let’s take a new look at 7 as the number of the harvest and future directed action.

It's Retrograde Time And This One is Special

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 22:40:40 +0000

Every calendar year we have a number of planets that have retrograde cycles and this year is no different. Except this year and specifically this month, we will have 7 retrograde planets and that is a lot. The only planet that is not retrograde will be Mars and it did a 3 month retrograde in Gemini in 2022, ending it the first week of January 2023. That Mars retro is significant to what is happening now, more on that later. If you wonder why I don’t mention the sun and the moon, it’s because they never go retrograde and they don’t figure in here.

Technically we can include the Sun in this group of retrogrades because Venus is currently retrograde in Leo, which is ruled by the sun. So that gives us a total of 8 planets in a field of 9. I think that is significant, don’t you?

What does all of this retrograde motion mean to us? Well, first of all retrogrades invite us to step back, review, use discernment, and pause before moving forward. Mercury will be retrograde, which is always a significant factor in our daily lives. If you don’t believe me think back to the last Mercury retrograde and your car broke down, you lost your keys, you tripped or fell and hurt yourself, you missed an important phone call, or something happened that upset your plans. Mercury retrograde has a way of being very inconvenient, especially when we’re rushed, in a hurry, or juggling too many things at once.

Mercury retrogrades in Virgo, one of its signs of rulership, although I have always thought that Chiron should be the ruler of Virgo, especially when we consider its lower or more negative aspects of being the Martyred Healer, servitude, self-judgment, and it can be a bit OCD. This Mercury retrograde is tied to the Mars in Gemini retrograde, also another sign of Mercury rulership and this retrograde brings up our karma, soul cycles, soul groups, karma cycles, and stories in a big way.

I want to introduce something I call the 4 karmic milestones, which involves the signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. This figures very prominently over the next 3 months which is why I am calling it to your attention now. You may thank me for it later.

They Need You But Do They Want You

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:19:15 +0000

When I first published this article about 10 years ago it was very popular. Many people saw themselves in it and realized that the painful, unfulfilling relationships and situations they were holding onto so tightly that they did not have the time or energy for anything else were very one-sided.

They knew in their hearts that someone needed them, but the other person was rejecting their efforts because they did not want them or their light or energy. It was an unbalanced attempt at resolving karmic entanglements, karmic debts, and trying to get closure in situations by creating a pre-destined resolution that just was not going to happen.

We do tend to hang onto our karma with both hands but there does come a time when we need to let go and move on. This is one of those times.

If you have not lost connections with many people in your life in the past three to five years, you may be counting yourself lucky, but your day of reckoning is arriving. I’m not making dire predictions here, just stating the fact that everyone has one or more relationships that are frustrating and unfulfilling because you’re trying to help or save someone, and they aren’t cooperating.

Those relationships are ending now partly because the energy gaps have become too great and because we have other things to do than try to convince someone that the light path is the best one for them when they do not believe that it is.

And who are we to judge, really. We think that everyone’s light path should be the same when someone could be experiencing the greatest level of spiritual growth they have ever had across all of their lifetimes and we’re discounting that because it does not conform to our idea of what that light path should be.

Are you paying too much for parking

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 7 Aug 2023 21:19:31 +0000

Those who know me will laugh when they read this article because they know that paying for parking is one of my pet peeves. I think that parking should be free and I will go out of my way to look for a free parking spot, rather than paying to park my car somewhere. I can park for free at home – my car is always in the garage. So when I go somewhere I do not expect to have to pay to park the car that I had to take to get there. And yet that is rarely an option.

When I was in Los Angeles with a friend recently, we drove around for fifteen minutes looking for a free parking spot. Well, I should say that I drove around looking for a free parking spot while my friend sat quietly in the passenger seat, knowing that it was useless to try to talk me out of my quest until I was satisfied that there were no free spots to be had.

We eventually had to pay a nominal rate to park my car because there were no free spaces available. I had to make the choice between paying for parking ($8 an hour) or driving around looking for something that I was not going to find in Los Angeles, free parking! And if you have ever been to Los Angeles you know that parking in the wrong place can be very costly – they love their parking fines.

This article is not a rant about the cost of parking, it is an introduction to a theme that we express often in our lives, usually without thinking about it. We get into a situation in our lives where we get stuck and don’t realize until much later that we have been sitting in a very expensive parking space. The cost is not monetary, although it can be, it is a cost we can measure in terms of energy, time, power, potential, and joy.

If you look at life situations where you have agreed to help someone or to take on their problems or to get them out of a jam, only to find out that you are now involved up to your eyeballs and it is causing chaos and commotion in your life, you’re paying for parking. And as long as you stay in that situation your cost of parking goes up every minute.

Here’s how it works and this is an example I have used before – listen to the podcast to hear the story of my client who parked her life for over 10 years because her family did not want her to move to Hawaii.

August 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennife Hoffman) — Fri, 4 Aug 2023 21:41:14 +0000

August comes in with a huge burst of energy and it leaves that way too since August 1 and August 31 are both full moon dates and these full moons come with very powerful aspects. So we have that to look forward to, we have the 8-8 Lion’s Gate, and in spite of multiple retrogrades, including personal planets venus and Mercury, it’s an action packed month (again). It’s a month for setting things right and being open to new pathways because they may just happen in spite of your best efforts to stop, delay, or prevent them.

The energy theme of August is The Inflection Point and that is going to bring necessary change, even if it is not welcome, we aren’t ready, or we participate under protest. There are things that we must accomplish to stay aligned with specific energy milestones and if we aren’t doing the work or making the effort then the Universe will just take over the wheel and make sure that we get to that destination. It’s a matter of divine timing and energetic alignment right now and we each have a role to play in the ascension cycle but if we are not where we need to be, doing what we need to be doing, with the people who need to be part of that process, we will get pushed into place. It’s going to be an interesting month.

August is the 8th month of the year and in 2023, which is a 7 year, we have 8 + 7 = 15, 1 + 5 = 6. Six is the number of descension, where we have access to spiritual downloads of energy and information that we need to integrate and move into our new paradigms. If you are in the Energy Purpose & Soul Monthly Energy Toolkit group you can review the ascension cycle diagram and explanation that is available to you there.

The ascension cycle follows this path and it is a constantly renewing process that we have committed to as part of our ascension work. The 6 energy of August is much easier than the 5 energy of July. It’s more defined and the downloads are less chaotic. But it is still part of our work here and in a 6 energy we are sure to have heavy download activity so be prepared.

Moving On - The Space Between Endings and Beginnings

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 1 Aug 2023 18:39:16 +0000

If you’re facing the end of a relationship or life situation you probably cringe when you hear the phrase ‘time to move on’. You may have to do that but you don’t want to. You may be facing an ending that you did not want, did not ask for, and hoped would never happen but here you are and you have to deal with it and ‘move on.’

Moving on is that space between endings and beginnings, the limbo that we find ourselves in when we are forced to acknowledge that the path we are on is no longer going to work for us and we have to find something else. It’s not fun, it’s frustrating and it makes us feel helpless and powerless but we do not have other options so we have to deal with the ending and navigate our way through the limbo and learn how to move on.

When we are in moving on limbo we are untethered, anchorless, and rudderless. The energetic forces that once drove our beliefs, thoughts, words, and actions are no longer appropriate or relevant. And because we are ‘moving on’ from a relationship or situation that required a huge contribution of our energy we have lost our set point and our focus which is why we can feel so purposeless, ungrounded, and anxious.

After an abrupt exit from an intense karmic cycle or situation, which is what these relationships are, we feel like someone has let the air out of us. We have used so much energy for such a big purpose and been so intent on our mission that when it ends we do not know what to do. Our energy needs a new focus and if we’re not careful we will find a similar situation and jump into it in order to give our energy a focus and relieve the pressure buildup of healing energy that has nowhere to go.

Remember the old adage that you should wait 2 years after a divorce or breakup to get into a new relationship? My understanding of moving on limbo has given that saying a whole new meaning and a new level of understanding.

The WORMs of Karma and Trauma

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:19:21 +0000

I got the title for this article and podcast from a research on US legislation I had to do so I could write a course for the University of Phoenix, whose e-business program I wrote in the early 2000s. A few years after the Patriot Act was enacted they had asked me to research and report on data safeguarding requirements under the Act. One of the requirements was called the WORM process, where WORM stands for Write Once Read Many. This process required that data could be written once and never changed but it could be read unlimited times. Once you entered the data it was permanently inscribed and could not be altered. But you could look at that data as many times as you wanted to.

How do you write karma and trauma into your energy field? Let me ask you a question – do you remember the last time you had an interaction with someone in your life who has always been a source of irritation, annoyance, frustration, and anxiety? Are you afraid of re//eating this behavior with each interaction? Do you dread talking to them because you know that it’s going to be another rehash of why you’re a terrible, no-good, bad, inept, untalented, unattractive, and unsuccessful person?

What came first, the energy or the experience? In this lifetime it’s the energy , in past lifetimes it’s the experience. Now it’s your turn, think of someone in your life who is a challenge and what makes them challenging. Do you remember the first time it happened? Now go farther back in your memory. Was there ever a time when you felt comfortable around them or did you always feel that you had something to prove with them, that they were a threat to you, toxic, or even dangerous? Welcome to your karma.

July 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 4 Jul 2023 05:10:17 +0000

Once again I can say that I am glad a month is over. June started out OK but then as the transformation momentum built up it was like riding downhill in a car with no brakes. I’m thinking of the road to Jerome, Arizona here, on Mingus Mountain. The mountain is so steep that the road is a series of switchbacks and you have to drive back and forth in order to get to the top. Wasn’t June’s energy like that?

Back and forth from past to present, reviewing past choices to make new decisions for now. Or having the past appear in front of us so we can assess its relevance and choose to move on (or not). In July we have support for taking action, but in the right direction. If we’re trying to move back towards the past in July we will get a strong reminder that forward is the only way to go.

.This month we get to color with all of the crayons, not just the few safe crayons that we have used to color our lives in old, familiar safe, if uncomfortable ways. Give a voice to the secret song you have in your heart because now is the time to sing it.

The July energy Toolkit is your resource to powerfully use and embody the energy of July. It provides you with the energy, purpose and soul of the month so you can align with and integrate the energy aspects that we’re gifted with. Each month includes a detailed review of the Energy Report, an energy affirmation and meditation, two calls with Jennifer as well as a Saturday Spirit & Soul community call at the end of the month to bring the community together and remind you that you do not walk this path alone, even if it feels like it. To get your Energy, Purpose & Soul Toolkit for July visit enlighteninglife.com/eps and sign up now.

July is the 7th month of the year in a 7 year so we have the double 7 energy and numerologically this is a 5 month – 7 + 7 = 14, 4 + 1 = 5. This is a month for intense spiritual alignment, expansion, and integration. If we look at every lesson and challenge as an opportunity for energetic re-calibration and use it as a resource for our spiritual path we will be well on our path to joy. 77 means spiritual awakening, empowerment, and awareness. It is a call to engage your intuition, to embrace your gifts and talents, to lead with your creativity, and to proceed with bold confidence. Now is not the time to hide our lights! So shine big and shine on!

Another way of looking at July’s strong 7 energy is the tarot’s major arcana. 7 is the card of the Chariot, the only vehicle represented in the tarot. The chariot represents movement, willpower, control, determination, and action. This is someone in control of their destiny, who is acting with intention and confidence.

The chariot driver is standing, not sitting, holding the reins and guiding the chariot where he wants to go. The chariot is pulled by sphinxes, not horses. To the ancient Egyptians the sphinx represented wisdom, strength, and spiritual protection. In the Chariot card there are two sphinxes, one black and one white, representing the polarity of the spiritual and material worlds. Even though they are pulling in opposite directions the chariot is driving down the middle of the road, between past and present

The driver is maintaining a firm hold on the reins and driving the chariot in the direction of his will, in spite of the opposing pull of the two sphinxes. Moving effortlessly between past and present, the spiritual and material worlds, determined direction and aligned action, freedom to choose our path. This is our mantra for July.

Big Heart and Determined Love

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 21:39:23 +0000

Have you ever loved someone so much that you were determined to make the relationship work out, no matter what it took?

Have you ever been in a relationship where you thought everything in your life depended on it?

Have you ever felt that you would die if someone wasn’t in your life (maybe not physically die but you just cannot imagine living your life without them)?

Be honest, we have all had that relationship in one way or another, the one that took so much time, energy, and effort and every bit of dedication and determination we had and yet, it ended, sometimes badly. And we remember it forever.

Do you still think about the one that did not work out, the big heartbreak, the one you could not help, change, or convince that you loved them?

I call this big heart relationships and we have all had a ‘big heart’ towards someone.

Our big heart allows us to put endless effort into the relationship no matter what it costs us emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually.

Our big heart allows us to never give up even when we do not seem to be getting any rewards for our efforts.

Our big heart allows us to be determined in how and who we love and we are 100% committed to showing our love and support to everyone we have a big heart for.

But our big heart hides our deepest darkest secrets about love and relationships:

That we are not worthy of being loved
That no one has or will ever love us
That we will only be hurt by love
That we must give love without getting love in return
That we will one day realize our deepest fear that we really are unlovable, unloved, and not worthy of love.

Determined love compels us to love someone, to show them how much we love them so they will love us in return, no matter what they do to us or how they treat us. This includes family, children, and those closest to us. Do you have family members who do not ‘love, honor, and respect’ you, who really treat you badly, who are disrespectful, manipulative, toxic, dishonest, and abusive and you still give them your time and energy and you do your best to show them how much you love them?

Determined love is connected to our Big Heart energy because it is the fear of being unloved and unlovable that makes us continue to seek love from those who have already shown that they do not love us, or who cannot or won’t love us in a way that meets our description of love.

This is a key point here. We have our own definition of love, of what we believe is loving behavior, and that meets our criteria for feeling loved. Anyone who doesn’t meet these criteria is not a loving person, as far as our love definition is concerned. I call this your ‘love language, a term I coined in 2012 when I introduced my first ‘Raise Your Love Vibes’ program.

Fathers Day and father energy

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 22:12:33 +0000

Father's Day was June 18 in U.S., a day when we celebrate our relationship with our fathers. Some of us don’t have a lot to celebrate, as our fathers may have been absent, unknown, or so emotionally distant that we cannot find a reason to celebrate our relationship with them. My father has been dead for nearly 35 years and while I spent much of my life being angry with him and wondering whether he cared about me at all, I now understand so much more about him and can actually be grateful for the gifts he gave me instead of focusing on how he ignored so many opportunities to show how much he loved and cared about me. (the photo is of my father and me, taken quite a few years ago!)

This year’s father’s day is especially energetically meaningful because we have Saturn retrograde in Pisces. In the astrology chart Saturn represents the father (the sun does too) especially if the relationship is challenging or has a big impact on your life. While your mother is your first and strongest karmic partner, your father follows as your number 2 karmic partner.

Fathers mirror our lessons in power and love, often through their limitations instead of their abilities. My father was, as were many of the men of his generation, emotionally damaged. Orphaned during WWII at age 4 and adopted by strangers at age 7, much of his life was lived with the question of what happened to his family and why he wasn’t worthy of being with them.

He was quiet, withdrawn, and emotionally disconnected. Yet, there were a few times, like the first time I was rejected by a boy I liked, and he comforted me, told me that I was beautiful and would one day find someone who loved and appreciated me, that he was loving and supportive.

I wanted him to be strong and powerful, to protect me and to show me that he loved me so I could know that I was lovable. But he didn’t love himself or feel worthy of love, based on his life experiences, so he could not give that kind of love to me.

June 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 4 Jun 2023 21:46:47 +0000

I am looking forward to this month, mainly because I really do think it’s going to be a great month and very lucky but also because I used May’s energy to figure some things out and to release some energies that I no longer want in my life. It took a long time for me to get to that place but I am here now and you may be too. There’s going to be motivation in June for you to step out of your emotional and energetic comfort zone simply because better and more joyful options are on your new horizons. June is a month for luck, stability, expansion, and joy.

Its theme is to Raise the BAR and its promise is that we will get a glimpse of our joy potential but whether we step into that paradigm is the choice we have to make this month. It’s a pivot point for us and an opportunity to do what we say we want to do. Whether we really mean it by taking action is up to us.

June is the 6th month of the year and the beginning of summer in the US. It’s a time when spring has set in and gardens are in full bloom, I know mine is. It’s also traditionally the wedding month because it is named after the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Zeus and mother of Mars and Vulcan, among others. She is the goddess of marriage and fertility as well as of the life force. Both warrior and mother, she represents the sacredness of our spiritual union in marriage and in the community and our willingness to protect and preserve that which we hold the most dear.

June expands on the energy that we had in May, with all of the energy downloads, shifts, aspects, the eclipse and the May 19 potent new moon. As you are looking at June’s energy, think back on what you achieved in May because you are going to be building on that and using what you learned and were gifted with in May to make June extra lucky and blessed for yourself. And we have the summer solstice on June 21, Saturn retrogrades in Pisces, Pluto returns to Capricorn, and we have the potential for karma resolution with Mercury in Gemini and a lot of joy as Venus and Mars join up in fun loving Leo.

In numerology June 2023 is a 4, which is a more stable and grounded energy than we had in May, which was a 3 month. 4 is grounded and solid with a firm foundation and sometimes that foundation is too firm and too grounded. The 4 can either become the comfort zone we cannot leave or the stable foundation that allows us to confidently expand into new aspects and seek new horizons of interest and potential.

One thing you may notice this month is a lack of interest in what you once thought was interesting, necessary, or fun. That’s one of the byproducts of the ongoing 3D dis-integration and the old density paradigm being shredded by humanity’s spiritual and energetic awakening and 5D energy injections. The old matrix has been unplugged, unhinged, unwound, untethered, and decommissioned. It's being replaced by a new matrix of potential, possibilities, connections, resonances, and empowerment that each of us must decide to embrace. This is not a new world, it is a new paradigm and multi-dimensional reality.

The cost of connection is congruent alignment with our intention and divine mission. This is important and it's why situations are ending, sometimes without your participation, as we need to plug into the new matrix and we cannot do that when we're still attached to the old one.

We will learn this month just how easy or hard it is to leave our comfort zone which is not necessarily comfortable as it is familiar. We hold onto what is familiar and known, seeking comfort in the security of a clearly defined and predictable reality, afraid to venture out into a world that seeks to hurt, disempower, dismember, destroy, and devour us. The dark has become so dark that we fear our light will not be enough for us, we will not be strong or powerful enough to overcome a repeat of our known past so we smile and wave to the world from the security of our comfort zone, glad to be safe and protected.

Manifestation Fact and Fiction

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 30 May 2023 21:03:39 +0000

Manifestation is a big buzzword. Everyone wants to know how to create their reality, to become an alchemist and turn the dense lead of their unhappiness into golden joy. Ever since the book ‘The Secret’ came out, manifestation books, coaching, and training have become popular things and manifestation coaches and teachers are a dime a dozen, you can find one on every street corner.

But are they telling you the truth about manifestation and is their information really going to help you create the ‘life of your dreams’? Not really and since much of the information they share is based on fiction and not fact, it does more harm than good, and it can make you believe that you aren’t capable of manifesting your reality when you can. But you have to know the facts and stop trying to work with the fiction which appears to be easier and faster, but it isn’t.

Let’s look at the fact and fiction of manifestation so you have the information and tools you need to become a master manifestor.

Fiction:manifestation happens with no effort and all you have to do is wish for something and it happens. When I hear this I remember a scene from the movie, The Secret, where a young woman is standing outside a store window looking at a beautiful gold necklace. In a flash the necklace is around her neck. That is so phony and false, but many people do believe that manifestation works this way.

Fact: manifestation happens as a process that involves intention and other factors that begin with something which motivates you to start the process and then keeps the energy moving in the direction of your manifestation.

Fiction:manifestation is magical and special, and you need intense teaching to figure out how to use it. This is false and there is nothing magical about manifestation. It is an intentional, guided, directed process that involves energy flows, intention, and action. I don’t like using the word magical because it implies the interference or participation of third party or extra forces and that doesn’t sit well with me. In fact, it can be so easy and effortless and occur in such mundane circumstances that you wouldn’t realize you had manifested something wonderful. Listen to the podcast to hear my story about how I got my entire yard mowed with a random thought while I was weeding my garden.

Fact:manifestation is a process of energy management, starting with identifying your intention to create an energy container. Then it is a matter of staying on track, avoiding distractions, and focusing your energy flows to ensure that you are aligned with your intention. There is nothing magical about this and it is always in your control. Manifesting is one of your abilities because it is part of your energy management tools, so you can easily manifest your reality once youknow how to do it, have been successful a few times, and remember to use this powerful ability all of the time.

Fiction: the universe has your back and it manifests for you and keeps you on track. This is fiction because the Universe does not do this and if you think that somehow, without your input, you’re going to manifest what you wanted whatever you do, no matter how little effort you put into it, you’ll be sorely disappointed. This is the sanitized, spin version of manifestation that you can get from a lot of self-appointed gurus in the new thought space and it’s wrong. It’s also how they sell you their programs by getting you to believe that they can teach you special skills to hack the process so that it happens by itself. It doesn’t.

The Energy of Courage

Have you ever had an experience where you had to act quickly, boldly, and decisively and you did, even though it may have involved something dangerous and scary? But in that moment you did not consider the scary and dangerous aspects, you knew that you had to act and to do something in that moment, and you did.

We call these acts of heroism and of courage and we celebrate the people who put their personal interest and safety aside and act on behalf of someone or something that has a greater immediate need. If you look on Instagram or facebook you can find many videos showing these acts of heroism. Some of the most watched and liked are those of people rushing to help a motorist stuck in a car, or rescuing an animal trapped in mud or water, workings digging an elephant out of a ditch, or compilations of fathers saving their children from harm.

We celebrate these acts of courage and the people who commit them. We admire their grit, their selflessness, their bravery, quick thinking, and resourcefulness. Sometimes we wish we could be like them as we examine the parts of our lives that could use an act of courage and wonder when we’ll have the determination, heart, grit, and courage to act. We do and that moment can be now, so let me share some courage inspiring tips with you.

Acts of courage require an emergency, a fearful outcome, a dire situation, and a challenge. We look for those in the physical world around us and often neglect our own world in the process. What does it take for us to leap into action, to boldly decide to act, to become completely selfless and focus on an objective while ignoring the consequences?

It’s easy for us to act on behalf of others but less so when it comes to our own lives and our own life situation, no matter how dire it may be. We wait to become courageous, for our courage to build to the point where we can act, to overcome our fear, and to find a reason to make a change. We think that courage is something we do but it is something we become. Courage is an energy and the energy of courage is within us all of the time, we just need a reason to activate it.

May 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 2 May 2023 01:17:46 +0000

It’s now the 5th month of the year and where do you stand with respect to your intentions, plans, goals, objectives, and secret dreams for the year? Are you close, nearly there, or so far away from them that you are discouraged, depressed, and demoralized? Don’t lose hope because this month is a creative wellspring of high vibes that is going to give us the energy and opportunities to make tracks and gain traction even though we start the month with Mercury retrograde and the annual planetary retrogrades begin. Don’t be intimidated by May’s energy theme of Mastering your Matrix – because it’s a process you have been engaged with for years and now you get to add the final touches. It’s a process I call IDEA – Intend - Decide - Expand - Act.

May is a 3 year in numerology – 2023 is a 7 plus 5 for May equals 12, and that breaks down to 3. But in numerology, a 3 that is a combination of 1 + 2 is a divine trinity, encompassing the values of 1 and 2, to create a whole that is ‘greater than the sum of its parts’. This month’s numerology combines our individual self-awareness with our higher consciousness, the divine partnership of self and Self, of human and spirit, of material and spiritual, integrating our divinity into our humanity. It is the ultimate objective of our soul mission – not to become soul led or soul filled, but to achieve self and soul integration, the congruent intersection of ego and spirit, the synergy of self and soul working in divine harmony for material mastery.

Sounds good but how do we do that? Well, we start with understanding our own energy matrix, which is May’s theme. We need to learn to master our matrix, the different levels, types, and vibrations of energy that make up our personal energy grid. This is our personal power plant, the energy resources that support and sustain us and that we draw from with every belief, thought, word, and action. Our personal energy matrix either supports our forward movement or keeps us mired in the past.

While our energy matrix is influenced by what is going on around us, it is also how we interpret energy events. For example, May begins with a Mercury retrograde that began in April. Do you dread Mercury retro or do you see it as an opportunity to see what may need some adjusting, touch-up, or a complete makeover in your life? Mercury retro will do that, especially with this one that started conjunct ‘surprise a minute’ Uranus and with Venus in Gemini, creating a synergy between self and soul that reminds us of the ever present wheel of karma that turns in our lives, an opportunity to shift from the pain of the past to joy in the present. This Mercury retro is a value proposition – to decide what has value and what is valuable to us. Many people equate Taurus and Venus with money but that is not their true focus, which is value. What is ‘worth it’ and worthy of your time, energy, and effort?

Is there anyone in your life who is an energetic challenge, and you dread every interaction with them? Is there a life situation that you want to run and hide from because facing and dealing with it feels like such a challenge? Is there an area of your life that really requires some attention now and you ignore it, hoping that it will go away? When we create a value proposition for transformation we overcome our fear of consequences and put the focus on our joy, peace of mind and heart, and our sovereignty becomes our primary objective. We must make ourselves the most valuable thing in our lives.

Eclipsed - The Intersection Between Intention and Interests

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 14:16:48 +0000

The recent April 21 eclipse was indeed a powerful one. A rare hybrid eclipse that began as an annular eclipse and morphed into a total eclipse that could be seen in in Australia and parts of the south pacific region. It is another astronomical phenomenon but we know it’s much more than that because it is part of a vast energy movement that has been showering us with energy shifts and downloads for the past 4 years. With a solar eclipse, which means that the dark obscures the light, the sun being covered by the moon, but don’t stop there. To eclipse something is to surpass it, to be the best in comparison to others.

This eclipse is our opportunity to eclipse our karmic path and focus our light on what is most important to us. If we are not sure what that is, having to choose between the dark and the light will push us in the right direction. Just remember that while an eclipse is momentary, the effect is long lasting.

I believe that we are coming out from under centuries of darkness and only now are we able to see the light and to have the awareness and spiritual maturity to choose between the dark and the light and that is happening because we are now aware of the darkness. It was never visible to us before because it was fully integrated into 3D, as we were.

But as we awaken from our collective slumber, like sleeping beauty and her 100 year sleep, it is not the magical kiss of a prince that awakens us, it is the moment that the darkness is eclipsed by the light. In a total solar eclipse that is the moment after the moon has covered, or eclipsed, the sun, there is a brilliant flash of light as the sun’s light begins to show again. In our lives it is when the light becomes so bright and so strong that we must abandon our darkness and let the light in.

What does it mean to be eclipsed? If you are eclipsed by someone or something it means that it overshadows you and you pale in comparison. More simply – it is better, brighter, and bigger than you are. Now think about what happens when you eclipse something – say you eclipse a challenge or a problem or you finally overcome an issue you never thought you would be able to move on from. Congratulations, you have eclipsed the darkness in your life and let in the light.

But before we get too pleased with the process and you think that I am being overly simplistic about a situation, let’s take a look at what you are trying to shine the light on because like most things, it is just not quite that simple.

Indigo and Crystal Energy

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennfier Hoffman) — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 03:40:39 +0000

I don’t exactly remember when I realized that I was different from most of the people in my family.

Maybe it was because I was the one who was paralyzed for 5 years, or maybe it was because my brother and sister, who were 11 months apart in age, looked like twins and I looked much different.

Maybe it was because I would get very angry at being lied to, unfairly blamed, or the game playing and manipulation that I experienced with my parents. I always felt like I was born into the wrong family and they were not my people.

Maybe it was the feeling that other people seemed to get it in life and I just couldn’t. When I read about Indigo and Crystal energies in the late 1990s, it all began to make sense and I knew that this was my answer. Now it didn’t solve anything at the time, it just gave me an understanding and the knowledge that I was ‘different’ so I needed to do things differently. I could not conform to the status quo, so I needed to be content with creating my own paradigm for my life.

I first remember reading about Indigo and Crystal energies in the late 1990s, but the term Indigo energy was first identified in the mid-1970s by Nancy Tappe, a psychic who could see auras and noticed that children born in the 1960s and 1970s had the color indigo in their auras, which she had never seen before.

Now I know that the Indigo generations started arriving around the 1950s and they have been around for centuries, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that we started seeing greater numbers of them, maybe because there was a greater acceptance of all things spiritual and intuitive at the time. But after this brief reveal in the 1990s the interest in these energies disappeared and Indigo and Crystals, not liking the spotlight, were rather relieved.

Their work continued, in the background for the most part, and now they are coming forward again as the need for the Indigo action and truth and the Crystal empathy and light are needed more than ever.

As we go barreling forward with this ascension cycle, and we are really on a roll now, the Indigo and Crystal energies are making a comeback and it is time to bring them back into the open so they can help with the work of dis-integrating the 3D paradigm and ushering in the 5D alignments because Indigo and Crystal energy is at the 5D frequency, that’s why they have such a hard time in life. Surprised to hear that? Well, let’s learn some more about these wonderful energies.

April 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 5 Apr 2023 22:05:11 +0000

March supposedly comes ‘in like a lion and out like a lamb’ but this March came in like lion and out like a tornado. The energy movements in the last few days of March, along with some X- and M-class solar flares, shook things up and re-distributed some of the darker, denser energies, creating a lot of dis-integration and chaos. Both are aspects of the descension phase of the ascension cycle and chaos is a by product of dis-integration. We will see more of this in April as we enter a month whose theme is Rebirth into Freedom and we choose between energetic sovereignty and the continuation of karma timelines.

April is an 11 month, the number of the initiate, and it will be our only 11 month in 2023. This brings heightened spiritual awareness and knowledge, usually in the form of lessons and challenges, and new potentials for healing, learning, growth, and transformation. An 11 month is both a call to acknowledge our journey and a call to action, to prepare for new potentials. These can be very challenging months and months where we quickly and easily manifest the changes we need to allow new potentials to occur. They can also be months where we learn to turn challenges into blessings and to learn how to let go of what no longer serves us, resonates with us, is relative to our new path, and restricts our ascension process.

The darkness and density are giving way to the light – not without a fight, but they are retreating significantly. Don’t be fooled by what may appear to be the dark winning out – it is not. It’s safe to say that when we notice the darkness it’s because it has been displaced by light and it has to be out in the open as it can no longer hide, it has no place left to hide. The only people holding the dark energies are those who have chosen unintegrated, un-ascended 3D.

When 3D was more dense and there was no 5D energy to start dis-integrating the density we did not notice that the density was there. We could not, it was completely integrated within 3D. But that is no longer the case and it is because of our 3D/5D ascension integration process that we are now able to see the density in all of its forms and they are out in force right now. Remember the energy gaps between the dark and the light, between pure, ‘unenlightened’ density and the 5D energies and light are why we are noticing so much darkness, perversion, and sheer lunacy right now.

We are in the down cycle or descension aspect of this ascension journey which is a difficult place to be because this is where we do all of the inner work, the tough work that has to be done to prepare for the next ascending cycle where we rise and expand our energy. But descension leads to transcension and the 4D bridge, which leads to ascension and that is how we achieve new levels of ascension integration. Cycles are part of the process and we go through them all the time. Are you starting to be able to recognize your ascension cycles now?

The descension process of the ascension cycle reminds me of the tv show ‘extreme home makeover’ where a family is chosen for a complete home remodel. The family goes away for a week and they return to a fully remodeled, often brand new home. What we don’t see in that process is the thousands of people who work 24x7 to tear down and rebuild and then fully re-decorate that home. We just see the beautiful, finished product and while they do show small glimpses of the tear down work being done, it is just enough to add a dose of theatrics – the biggest part of the dirty work is done behind the scenes. Sound familiar?

So if you are struggling with the energies from March and into April, remember that the finished product is in the process of being remodeled and that what no one sees is the ‘home work’, the inner work that must done to expand our outer glow and shine our light brightly. And a side note here – as soon as we finish with one remodel we spend a few minutes enjoying our work and then we start another remodeling process. Ascension is a continuously evolving and rising spiral of energetic expansion.

Showdown at the This is Not OK Corral

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 22:33:29 +0000

Everyone seems to be getting lessons in dealing with people who seem to not only disregard their needs but who do the exact opposite. What do you do with someone who appears to deliberately oppose your wishes, stand in your way and block your efforts?

Their behavior is not OK and they force you into a corner. Do you come out fighting or walk away? And how do you decide what is not OK and what to do after that? Any time we are faced with a situation where someone is not giving us what we want the answer to all of our questions lies within us. That person has so much wonderful, enlightening information for us that we can understand once we move away from the ‘this is not OK’ position.

Sure, their behavior may be wrong but why did we choose that experience with them and what do we have to learn from it? I have found, in many years of giving spiritual counseling, that our lessons in power are always presented in ways that make us feel powerless. What we do in that moment determines whether our next step is reconnecting to our power or holding our ground and demanding that the other person do what we want them to do.

While we would like to have a more moderate outcome, where we get out needs met and the other person sees the value in that, it isn’t always possible. And the longer we stay in that situation the more challenging it is for us. Our showdown then becomes a standoff, then we are standing still, further entrenched in our demands and blind to any other outcome. While we may think that the other person is just being stubborn, they are giving us valuable information and the first question we can ask is why we are making that particular demand of them.

And there is part of our answer because we generally choose the person who will not or cannot give us what we want (remember the lessons in power).

5 Gifts of Karma

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 8 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +0000

I have to admit that when Saturn entered Pisces yesterday I was a bit concerned. This is not a great placement for me and in the past, Saturn in Pisces has always been a source of enormous loss, suffering, and pain. But after a day of reviewing the past and wondering where I could go and hide away for the next 3 years, I woke up this morning with a plan for this tough transit and an understanding of what it could become and I am more relieved than afraid. Karma has its downside but it has its blessings too and it arrives with gifts that we can learn from and appreciate into greater joy, understanding and freedom if we are ready.

There are gifts that karma brings us and we often don’t realize it until long after we have struggled with a Saturn transit and the karmic lessons it brings with us. We see these lessons with Mercury transits to a lesser degree, but nothing can bring us down to our knees like a strong Saturn foray into our karmic past, soul groups, and karmic cycles. Saturn in Pisces seems to be particularly strong in that regard for everyone, not just those that have planets or houses that are particularly impacted by it.

Saturn’s transit through Pisces, during our lifetimes, depending on when you were born, happened in 1900, 1933, 1964, 1993, and now 2023. These are approximate dates, the exact dates are more numerous since Saturn enters Pisces, then retrogrades back into Aquarius, then it moves forward again.

Let’s look at some of those dates in history, 1900 was the turn of the century and the beginning of the medical tyranny that has ruled the world for over a century. You have to look at the activities of the most evil man in the world, JD Rockefeller, to understand how this began then. 1933 was the beginning of the activities that would lead to WW2. 1964 followed the assassination of John F Kennedy and the real takeover by the forces that would attempt to rule the world. That was the year I learned I would possibly be a paraplegic for life, according to my doctors, and the beginning of a 2 year hospital stay and a 5 year attempt to regain mobility. I succeeded but it wasn’t easy.

March 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 1 Mar 2023 23:21:38 +0000

There are some really big energy events this month as well as a lot of under the surface events and we’ll have energy and potential for transformation coming at us from every angle. March may have a sort of carnival atmosphere, like when you are walking around and everyone is trying to get your attention so you spend your money on their ride or buy their merchandise. It is more than a turning point, it is an inflection point for humanity as the Great Awakening meets the New Potentials and the 3D paradigm takes its last turn around the karma circle.

This month’s energy foundation is The Rendez-vous, which doesn’t mean a meeting, it means to bring yourself. And we have themes of freedom, miracles, motivation, truth, and energy mastery. No pressure here, we have gone through this before. No more rehearsals, it’s opening night and it’s time to wake up, get up, stand up, and rise up and shine. This is a powerful month and it’s rich in potential which you can use as long as you get your possibilities on the table, your priorities in order, and claim your miracles. Our rendez-vous is with miracles, truth, freedom, motivation, miracles, and energy mastery.

One of the themes in March is miracles, a topic I have broad expertise in, as you know. Now miracles are not magic and they do not happen randomly. They are the product of deliberate, focused intention and an energy tool that you should be using every day to manifest your reality. Miracles are simply the movement of energy from one place to another. Thinking of them as the movement of energy, something you are very familiar with if you have been following me for any length of time, takes the mystery and confusion out of miracle creation. If you want to learn more join my free 3 Day Miracle Mastery Challenge from March 2 through March 4, 2023. Click here to sign up.

The word miracle means something that creates wonder. Think of miracles as something wonderful and they are because they generally move you from a place of not having to having, from anxiety to relief, out of disaster into calm. That’s been the case for me whenever I created miracles, as they usually got me out of an absolute disaster into a truly miraculous series of blessings. I have shared my miracle stories with you many times and I’m going to be sharing my miracle process in my 3 Day Miracle Mastery Challenge, you learn more at this link.

February 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 6 Feb 2023 02:05:40 +0000

When you think of February you think of Valentine’s day and that is the main focus of the month. It’s typically the month in which our thoughts are on love, romance, and relationships whether we are celebrating what we have, regretting the ‘one that got away’, trying to forget the one that broke our heart, or hoping that our turn at love comes soon. But February is so much more than that and this month has some beautiful and powerful energy that is going to highlight this year’s Reckoning theme and present a clear ascension transition path.

Have you ever felt like the calendar was wrong to start with January, often the coldest, darkest month of the year? If we celebrate the birth of the new year in nature with spring, why do we celebrate our new calendar year in the cold of winter? Until 1752 the calendar year did begin with the month of March and then it was changed to the Julian calendar which began in January. With the ‘old style’ calendar, February would have been the 12th month of the year and the final month before a new year begi,n in spring with the March Equinox. That’s why February is named after , Februus, Roman god of atonement and purification.

Now this is a new focus for the month where we typically think of romance to consider a less ‘romantic’ theme to the month and make the best use of its energy. It’s fully aligned with the 2023 theme of Reckoning and the Path that we are embarking on this year. Since 2023 is a 7 year and that number represents contemplation and inner growth, as a 2 month February’s numerology is a 9, the number of completion. How appropriate and supportive for us to prepare for new growth and new beginnings in spring, which is next month’s theme.

Rather than focusing on love and romance this month, which can be a challenge if you do not have a love to celebrate, we’re going to look at alchemical purification, at-onement, recalibration, and ascension energy movement. This doesn’t mean that love is out of the picture, but it does mean that we cannot continue to chase after love and continue our love patterns which include choosing healing over wholeness, perspiring instead of inspiring, and seeking our own redemption by redeeming others.

It sounds harsh but if we are to fulfill our own desire for love then we need strong energy boundaries, more self esteem, and a willingness to engage in partnerships that are energetically aligned and not emotionally unbalanced.

January 2023 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 04:33:42 +0000

I usually get these energy reports out at the first of the month but this month, as it also coincides with the beginning of the year, I decided to do something different. I published a guide to making the best use of 2023 energy for the first newsletter, as well as the 2023 annual predictions and the new GPS 2023 Program, your energy toolkit for 2023 success. And I’m glad that I waited because what has happened in the past 10 days sets the tone for this month and its multiple energy movements.

First we had the new year and entry into 2023, a 7 year in numerology and a year with a lot of spiritual power. Now just because the power is there doesn’t mean that we are going to use it but we do our best and we have spent the past 3 years living through the example of what happens when we do not own, acknowledge, integrate, align with, and claim our power. What we saw in the past 3 years was the full display of the 3D paradigm whose energies are grounded in control, domination, power over, coercion, limitation, restriction, disconnection, and tyranny. Can you think of any examples of that which occurred during the past 3 years, from 2020 to 2022? Me too.

January is an energy portal for the rest of the year and sets the stage for the big events that include March’s energy shifts and the Alpha Omega portal we’ll have in March and April. An Alpha Omega portal occurs when we have two new moons in the same sign, the first one at zero or 1 degree and the second one at 29 degrees. This will happen with the March and April new moons, in the same month that Saturn and Pluto change signs. That is significant.

The energy theme for January is ‘Shine and Rise’ and no that isn’t backwards. We have to shine before we can rise, our understanding of our soul mission and life purpose require clarity and acceptance before we can expand into new energy potentials. While we want a quick release from trauma and pain, their bigger story that is part of our path of spiritual initiation can be the path to release and energetic freedom that we crave.

5 Ways to Have a Great 2023

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 9 Jan 2023 23:16:09 +0000

It’s a new year and we are all excited about that but we are entering it from the drama, tyranny, and chaos from the past 3 years, and even thinking about joy, success, and expanding our energy can seem like an exercise in futility. And if you have been trying to make changes lately only to be stopped at every turn, the idea that 2023 could be different without a whole lot of extra and extraordinary effort is just depressing.

Well, there are some depressing things about what is going on in the world but there is also a whole lot more to be joyful about. We play our part by maintaining our energy field at the frequency and vibration that we want it to be to create the reality we are intending. We also play our part by shifting our perception of the illusion from good and/or bad to light and light potential. So much of the world has already ‘seen the light’ and the rest exists in the realm of light potential.

Yes there is a small group that is always going to occupy the dark edges but we can let them be, they are not part of our mission.

As you are contemplating your potential for 2023 and maybe making a list of intentions for the year of what you want to be or become, things you want to accomplish, what you want to do and places you want to go, let’s bring it down to a more personal, influential level for the light stage we are on now.

When I say all we have to do is shine our light I mean it. We are in the 5D integrated space now and if you notice, the people who are not aligned with 5d at any level are no longer in your sphere. What you are seeing and dealing with are the people who are like spirited, your energetic family, and those who are curious about you and your energy. They may be magnetized to you but there is not quite a fit. Sometimes we meet people who just need to know where to step onto the 4D bridge. Your job is not to guide or carry them across, just to show them where the bridge is and how to access it.

And this is one of the keys to success in 2023, to know when to stop sharing our energy and let everyone walk their own path. This is probably going to be the hardest part of 2023, shifting how we interact with people and we will start that process by shifting who we are consciously and unconsciously interacting with.

Did you lose connections with friends and family in the past 3 years? Has a philosophical difference created a huge rift in your relationships? Or have you realized that there are people who just do not need to be in your life any more, whether it’s because they have walked out or you have shown them the door?

That’s the basis of creating your energetic family, allowing energy to become the focus of your path instead of emotions. All of our connections are based on how we feel and that is shifting to a more intentional process. We set our energetic intention and that either opens or closes the doors to connection.

I was thinking about how to greet this new year and start a new year of newsletter articles and podcasts. Do you know this is my 20th year of writing the newsletter? Hard to believe that I would still be doing it when I started in February of 2004 with my little newsletter that went to three people – me and two friends I had asked to sign up so I could make sure the subscription box and the email broadcast worked properly. Now the newsletter is read by over 5 million people every week, as the most widely read, shared, and the oldest newsletter on the internet.

As we start a new year, one that has a lot of potential and is going to be a source of joy to many, I wanted to share my hints for making this year truly great for you. Here are 5 ways to make 2023 a fabulous year.

Countdown to 2023

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 23:58:34 +0000

Well it is the last week of 2022 and I am glad to see this year end. This has been a tough year and in fact the last 3 years, starting in 2020, have been hard for everyone. I think we all agree that we saw things happen in the world that none of us ever thought would happen. We have been witness to a facet of the ascension cycle that I think we have not done yet and that is the widening energy gap between the dark and the light. It’s so wide now you could fly a jumbo jet through it and it is going to get even bigger in 2023.

I believe that this is the part of ascension that we do not realize is a key element and a confirmation that we are making enormous progress, the very clear separation of dark and light. This is the dis-integration of 3D, something you have heard me talk about for many years. The byproduct of 3D dis-integration is chaos and we have evidence of it all around us. Because 3D’s main energies are power and control, and it is literally a house of cards that can tumble down with the slightest breath of awakening and truth, unleashing the chaos and making room for the light.

Now this goes against what so many have described as the divinity, peace, and connection of ascension. From these interpretations we thought that ascension would be a happy, effortless journey into the land of unicorns and fairy dust. Instead of that we got separation, disconnection, rejection, betrayal, and a full frontal exposure to a dark world we never knew existed.

This final week of December 2022 ends with some of the same energy aspects as 2022 began. We have Mercury, Venus and the Sun in Capricorn, Mars retro in Gemini which is the opposite sign of Sagittarius, its January 2022 placement. In January 2022 Jupiter was at 1 Pisces and in December 22 it is at 2 Aries – another Alpha/Omega moment. The path of spiritual initiation is complete.

We end as we began but far wiser, more aware, and more energetically aware, mature, and congruent than before. Our naivete and innocence may be gone but we have matured spiritually and graduated into a greater awareness of both the light and the polarity of the dark. We may look back longingly at the days where ‘ignorance is bliss’ and we could go through each day with total abandon and a lack of awareness. But ignorance is not bliss and everyone ignores the other half of that statement, ‘tis folly to be wise.’

5 Things I Would Tell my Past Self

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 23:10:14 +0000

Have you ever said that you would love to turn back time, go back to the past and undo some choices you have made, and most importantly, give your past self some advice that would help him or her in their life.

What if you could avoid the trauma, tears, grief, disappointments, and shame.

What if you could be more confident, clear, self aware, and have more self esteem?

What if you could give your past self 5 pieces of advice that would help him or her and erase some of the trauma you have experience in your lifetime?

In the 20 years that I have been writing this blog I have never done this kind of article but I believe that it is time. I am not doing it from a place of regret, but from a place of acknowledgement of how far I have come and to have closure with the past. Because as I realize the lessons, blessings, and truth of the past I also complete the timeline and give myself closure so I no longer have to regret the past or anything that happened or did not happen.

So let’s go and as you read these 5 things that I would like to tell my past self, think about what you would tell your past self today.

1. Criticism and judgment are simply someone else’s opinion of you and can mirror their jealousy over who you are, your light, your gifts and talents, and your being.

I wish I had know this so many years ago, starting during my childhood, when I believed that it was my fault that someone took issue with what I did or said. had I considered that it was possible to ignore them, I would have not responded by dimming my light, trying to please them, or believing that I was in the wrong every time. I would have been more protective of myself rather than dismissing myself because it appeared that someone took issue with me.

Now criticism and jealousy were part of my family dynamic so taking a stand against it was not always possible when I was younger. I get that. But it was a possibility when I was older and I let myself be swayed, manipulated, and muted by it far too much and for far too long. And the jealousy came from people I wanted to love and accept me so instead of shielding myself from them and their energy, I tried to compensate for their jealousy by being less of myself. As you know, that doesn’t work. The result was that I turned away from my highest potential and opportunities that my well honed ‘jealousy radar’ knew would create another level of criticism and judgment. Until one day I decided that I was no longer going to do that. I was going to let my light shine no matter what anyone thought or said about it. And that is exactly what I would tell my past self – shine your light as brightly as possible, no matter what.

2. People will talk about you so give them something positive to talk about because there is nothing wrong with you.

This one is especially poignant for me because I was often the topic of looks and whispers as a child as I was physically handicapped by the vaccine induced paralysis that would change my life forever. The morning of November 22, 1963 I went to school a happy child who loved to learn and who wanted to become a ballerina. By that evening I was paralyzed from the neck down and the last thing I remember for the next week was lying on the back seat of my parents’ car looking at the stars in the sky.

When I awoke from a coma a week later I saw my parents and the doctor talking and heard the doctor say that I would never walk again. I was determined to prove him wrong and I did. But it did not happen for another 5 years. I was in the hospital for 2 years. No more school, no more ballet dreams, and no more walking or motion of any kind. It is truly a miracle that I can walk and move today although I have not fully recovered and never will.

After I was released from the hospital I had to be in a wheelchair because I still could not walk, I had no movement from the waist down. Eventually I could walk with braces that went from my hip to my ankle and were fastened to brown orthopedic shoes (no cute velvet mary jane shoes for me) and crutches. I was stared at a lot. It was unusual to see a handicapped child so people stared and whispered. I could hear them asking each other ‘what was wrong with me’. I grew to hate being looked at and that expanded to being the center of attention.

When I was in my corporate career I hated being the center of attention or in a situation where everyone was looking at me and yet I was often the lead in technical projects, in organizations, and in high level positions. I managed to perform because I had a strong work ethic, I loved my work, and I wanted to do well but it was hard. I was always in doubt about what people really thought about me and whether I was Ok or was there something wrong with me.

I would remind my past self that the brightest lights get noticed and that doesn’t mean there is something wrong.

3. Your dreams and visions are worthy of being your priority and should not be sacrificed for the benefit of others.

December 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 6 Dec 2022 05:55:50 +0000

I am publishing the December Energy Report a few days late but it is not by accident. I had it ready to go on December first but I also got the message to wait for a few days because there would be more to add. So I did because I have learned to follow my guidance. Then on December 2 we had a rare and beautiful aspect between the moon at 1 Aries and Jupiter at 29 Pisces, something I have called an Alpha/Omega portal. Usually I talk about these when there are two new moons in the same sign, the first at 1 degree and the second at 29 degrees.

Here we have a much bigger aspect between the moon, ruler of our emotions, and Jupiter, ruler of higher thought, spirituality as an intentional path, which has only happened 9 times since the year 1 (I checked). Most recently, this aspect happened in January 1845, July 1913, and September 2010.

September 2010 is the one we can all relate to because it happened in our lifetime. I remember that period, it was a rather crazy time as the internet was becoming more mainstream, social media was taking off, and everyone was selling the best way to do online marketing (usually with a lot of hype and not much substance). On December 2 we saw evidence of serious crimes using social media platforms and the clear evidence of the illegal use of social platforms to target people. The Alpha/Omega moment is a full circle, a becoming 360 moment of action and consequences. It has been intense and rather revealing and this is a milestone on our ascension path, a full revelation of the dark by the light. It created a lot of awakening too. This is going to continue through 2023 so it’s not an isolated incident. The dominos have begun to fall.

2022 is nearly over and I am probably not the only person who reads that with a sigh of relief. What a tough year this has been and it is just one more in the past 2 challenging years. Since 2020 we have been bombarded with energy and tough astro aspects that have historically always heralded huge changes in humanity, society, and in the world when they happened. We had the Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn, the Saturn/Uranus square, Jupiter conjunct Neptune in Pisces, and the US and global Pluto return. And in January 2022 we began Ascension 2.0, a new ascension cycle. That’s a lot and it is just some of the big ones, there were many more. It’s a lot to happen in a very short period of time.

We’re all battle worn and weary and we need a break. We’ll get that in December, along with a call to action that is more about inspiration than perspiration, expanding wonderful rather than doing more worry and work, and turning trauma into triumph. I have read comments from astrologers and people who issue predictions about December and they say to sit back, wait, and ponder. No thanks and I disagree.

You can do that if you want to but I’m going to use the wonderful, creative, inspiring energy of December to close some doors and open new portals. I looked up the tarot card and 7 of the major arcana is the chariot, hardly a vehicle for sitting back and waiting. When I think of chariots I think of the film Ben Hur and the chariot race, one of the more thrilling action scenes in film history. .

I have some joyful energy to bring into my life and clean out the dust of these past few years. I am ready for a fresh start and a new beginning at a new vibe, are you?

Timelines, Time Travel, and Transformation

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 19:31:50 +0000

When I was young my mother listened to old country songs and one of the songs had the chorus “if I knew then what I know now”. I thought that was rather silly because you could not go back to the past with the knowledge from the present. But it was an interesting thought and when I got older I remembered that phrase and more than once, I wished that I could go back in time and tell my past self what I had learned so she could avoid making certain choices.

The things we secretly hope and dream of if we could just turn back time. How often have you said those words to yourself?

The relationship we would leave or would work harder to keep.

The words we would say or would keep to ourselves.

The choices we would make or avoid

What would we do if we could turn back time, go back to the past, do-over portions of our life, and especially, not make certain choices?

But while we think about these things we also know they are just pipe dreams. There is no way to turn back time, to undo what has been done, or to re-do a choice or action. The past is a fixed moment in time.

We cannot undo the past or go back to it and the only reason we would want to is because we think that somehow we could undo the lessons and experiences of the past and have a much different present. Just imagine if we had not said yes, or said no, made a different choice, or realized how important the choice we were making at that moment, which we thought was inconsequential, was actually one of the most important choices of our life.

If there is anything that is immovable, unchangeable, and set in stone in our lives, it is the past. There is nothing we can do to change what once happened but there is something we can do to change the effect the past has on our life in the present. We cannot time travel to fix the past but we can use our timelines to shift what is happening today and to create transformation. The secret to time travel, to turning back time, to knowing something new, is in understanding timelines.

Timelines are the linear expression of an energetic imprint. A timeline is the outcome of an energetic event that sets us on a specific path and that path and its energy determines the frequency, vibration, and flow of our life’s energy and all of its connections.

The timeline continues on autopilot, sometimes like a runaway train or an avalanche that wipes out everything in its path, until we decide we have had enough of that and we want something different.

Then that timeline starts losing energy until it comes to a full stop – it has run out of energy road. And now we have two choices – to restart that time line with a rebirth (renaissance is one word people like to use) or to create a new timeline.

We can always restart an old timeline by going back to it but it doesn’t feel the same, everything is off balance and different, and we feel stuck and out of place. It’s like going back to your high school reunion and remembering all of the old battles and rivalries and realizing how much you didn’t like those people then and they are still not very nice to you. You try to talk to them and there is no energetic connection. That timeline is ended and there is no bringing it back.

Dark Dawn and the Light

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 22:51:40 +0000

There is an old saying that says ‘it is always darkest before the dawn’. If you have been up around 5AM, just before sunrise, you know this is true. There is a period during the night when it gets very quiet, even the animals that roam during the night are still. The birds are not awake yet and there is no sound.

It is in this moment that it is the darkest and the world is poised and waiting for the sun to rise. And in our lives and with our life challenges we go through a similar process except while we’re fairly certain the sun will rise and there will be a dawn, we cannot always be sure in our lives but we must, because the light brings the dawn of new understanding to us just as the light brings the dawn and a new day for the world.

If you have ever been through a challenging time in your life you know that at some point things look really bleak. There is no hope, you do not know what to do, you feel lost, stuck, and hopeless. You begin to question your motives, power, and choices. You look for blame and then move into shame and guilt and start judging yourself and every choice you have ever made in your life. You feel stupid, ignorant, and totally clueless. What was I thinking, how did I let this happen to me, and what am I going to do to get out of this mess?

Sound familiar? It should because we have all been through it. We all go through spasms of self-doubt, fear, judgment, and condemnation when our lives get turned upside down. What we thought was an innocent and clearly beneficial move or choice turns into a tsunami of results that we don’t want, each one worse than the one before. What happened? How do our lives get turned upside down and why? We don’t deliberately choose to suffer and yet that seems to be part of the process, by design.

Well, it is in a way but the design is really to get us to shift the energy vibe and move the timeline to a different frequency. And that is part of a process of initiation, what I call the Path of Spiritual Initiation, a concept I initially introduced in 2004. It’s our spiritual pilgrimage journey from dark to light, from despair to directed action, and from victim to victor. I call it ‘the 5 steps that can change your life’ and it’s true because the process does change your life, as it nudges you towards the activation of your energetic awareness and sovereignty. But the way it happens is not very empowering, usually taking you to the darkest night of the soul in the hopes that you will find the light within yourself to ignite the dawn of a new awareness.

Now take note, it is not one single journey, it is the path that every single experience takes because everything is part of our personal journey from dark to light, which is a shift in energetic frequency and vibration and not a test of our ability to withstand tremendous, sustained suffering.

If we understood the Path of Spiritual Initiation we would get through this suffering a lot faster because we would understand the reasons and purpose of the lessons. We would also understand what we have to do to stop them and move into the enlightenment and beyond stages. Of course we want to do that but we often want too much too quickly, we wait too long to acknowledge the spiritual initiation process and then we have to create a miracle to fix the situation. I have done that and it works but it is very hard to do. Let me share an example.

Listen to the podcast for the story of how I created a miracle that got me out of a huge 300 pound dilemma and I learned about my own path of spiritual initiation.

November 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 5 Nov 2022 20:52:50 +0000

There is something that happens when people move beyond the awakening stage into awareness and acknowledgement. Their initial awakened state of anger turns into empowered purpose (if they can move beyond the anger) and they have extreme clarity where they were once blind to a situation. This kind of awareness is a gift of awakening and it carries with it the knowledge that once awakened, you never go back to sleep.

That is why so many people hesitate to set foot on the 4D bridge because they know that once they do they can never return to full 3D ignorance, illusion, density, and limitation. For some that is a blessing, for others it is the very reason why they are more than happy to stay in the darkness and density of 3D. See my article It’s Getting Crowded on the 4D Bridge.

As I say, once you set foot on the 4D bridge there is no turning back. Well, here we are and it’s definitely full speed ahead even though November opens with aspects that may be interpreted as requiring us to slow down, reconsider, refresh, and pause but that is not how I feel at all. We have the GO sign in our lane and we have a lot to do.

The message of November is Warriors – Stand and Rise. We are warriors for the light. We don’t have to fight with swords and arrows, our energy toolkit contains the light and energy frequencies that can dispel any dark force. It is our imperative to rise to the perils and challenges of 3D and engage with our own karmic battles.

This is the fight of our lives and it is the fight that we have lived to fight for millennia.

Our imperative to stand is to be energetically sovereign, to engage with our divinity to strengthen our energetic being and become divine humans.

Our imperative to rise is to see each challenge as a chance to raise our vibes, move up the ascension spiral, to shift the energetic frequency and vibration of our life path.

Are you ready to engage your warrior spirit? It is within you and always has been. Your fear of doing harm prevents you from fully activating your power but know that you cannot do harm to others when the battle is between light and dark. Light does not harm the darkness, it merely converts it to light.

November is an 11 month and this month’s numerology value is 8, the sign of infinite wisdom and creativity, and repetition. The energy of 8 reminds us of the endless cycles of the universe which can be a source of comfort and guideposts for karmic choices or they can become our energetic prison if we get lost in the lesson and never reach the release of enlightenment.

We begin November in an eclipse window between two powerful eclipses, October 25 and November 8. And with a Mars retrograde, which I believe is an excellent aspect for this period given its sign and complementary energies. Some people say this is a time to slow down, reflect, and delay action.

Not at all. Instead, it’s time to clear the decks, to get rid of long-standing, no longer useful attitudes, beliefs, and connections. Mars will give you the energy to act and with the retro in Gemini, the sign that rules karma, you’ll get a glimpse into the karmic cords that have been your source of limitation, grief, pain, and suffering for many lifetimes.

Eclipses, Change, and Choices

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 29 Oct 2022 00:08:22 +0000

You are familiar with the expression ‘as within, so without, as above, so below’. It means that there is a mirror effect that exists in everything. Our inner world is reflected in our outer world. What exists in spirit is mirrored on the earth and within each one of us. This is the Law of Divine Oneness, the first of the 13 Universal Laws.

We understand the concept of energetics when we realize that the earth is a huge energy field and we are all connected to it, to each other, and to spirit through this energy field.

The energy field is impacted by all sorts of things including our energy and what is going on within countries and populations but it is also impacted by what is going on in our skies. The planets also exert a powerful influence on the earth’s energy field and on each of us. And if you do not think this is true wait until the next Mercury retrograde and all of the life disruptions that this period can create. Did you know that the tides of the earth’s seas and oceans are governed by the moon’s cycles? The planets definitely have an impact on every aspect of our reality.

These planetary impacts can be subtle or direct and occasionally we get a lightning bolt of energy in the form of an eclipse that shakes everything up. It’s showdown time at the ascension station. Eclipses open portals for choices and change and they are polarizing, there is no middle ground.

Eclipses are cosmic wild cards that bring in new energies and usher out old ones. They are universal access tunnels that we can pass through if we have the courage to make big, fast changes and live with the consequences.

Sometimes this is not voluntary and a choice or change is forced on us either through someone else’s choicesxx. Eclipses shift timelines and break up energy patterns. And they abruptly end anything that is hanging on by a sliver of hope or the tiniest thread of regret.

Very little escapes the scrutiny of an eclipse cycle and we need them to help us take a step back and consider what we are doing and why and make different choices if we do not like our reality. Eclipses let us know when we have run out of energy road and are trying to keep going when our energy tank is running on fumes.

Instead of looking at eclipses from an astrological perspective, think of them as energetic reboots or restarts, an opportunity to clear out the old files stored in our cache and decide whether we still want or need them. Eclipses appear in 19 year cycles and the cycle we are in is a repeat of one from November 2003 and prior to that November 8, 1994 with the node entering Taurus in September 1994.

The word eclipse means to outshine, overshadow, and transcend. The 4D bridge is the path of transcension that takes us from the density of 3D to the integrated light of 5D. An eclipse creates a glitch in the matrix, it shifts the energy just enough so that old connections are disrupted.

Habits, Change, and Transformation

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 19:55:12 +0000

I am a creature of habit and I do not like to have my habits interfered with. I have a morning habit, a bedtime habit, I have work habits, and I have many energy habits. Habits establish routine, they help us navigate our lives and they give our reality a sense of stability. But habits can become ruts and when we are faced with change, our habits become the sticky point in our transcension process.

When it’s time to change we have to make changes and to be willing to dis-integrate the stable reality our habits have created to allow for transformation.

It isn’t easy to change a habit as you know if you have habits like I do. I laughingly call myself a creature of habit because I always do things in a specific way. My morning routine is especially habitual. I get up, make coffee and drink one cup, then I eat breakfast, clean the kitchen, empty the dishwasher if it needs it, and then get ready for the day. Now if I do not do those things in the same order one day, my entire day feels out of whack. Are you like this too?

Sometimes our habits keep us locked into mindsets, energy patterns, and activities that are not beneficial, efficient, or productive. But it isn’t until a big problem arises that we consider altering our habits and even then, we do it under extreme protest. It isn’t our fault because as I said, habits create stability so changing our habits destabilizes our lives in some way and then we have to learn to do things in a different way. No one likes to do that.

I am experiencing this in my life and especially in my business, for the past few months. If you follow me on facebook you know that in August my laptop crashed in a spectacular way, completely erasing the hard drive. I did not lose any data because I have multiple backup systems but I had that laptop for 5 years and I was used to it. I liked the screen, the way the keyboard worked, and I had everything on it arranged the way I liked it. I had to reconfigure another laptop and a desktop to work on and it’s OK but it has taken time for me to get used to it.

October 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 3 Oct 2022 21:26:15 +0000

I am so glad that September is over. Some months are harder than others and September was one of those long months with one OMG event after another. If we’re so far ahead on the ascension journey why isn’t it being reflected in what’s going on in the planet? It is but we’re looking for more examples of what we believe are evidence of the light when we really need to be celebrating the revelation of the dark. October’s a mixed bag of energy, up and down, tough and easy, with more reveals and truth, and its theme is A.I.M – align, integrate, master, and its message is to ‘Rev it UP’, a message to us to take a step forward and move out of our own darkness enough to step into the light. October is a juggling act with a wide variety of energy movements and we are in the center ring.

October promises some excitement with a long list of energy shifts and as I write this, we have already had 2 X-class and 3 M-Class solar flares and the energy is building. We get some relief as Mercury goes direct on October 2 and some of the heavy retro energy begins to shift as early as October 8, when Pluto goes direct on October 8.For the next 3 months, we are going to be catching up on opportunities and seeing the potential portals opening up again after a long dry spell. It’s time and we’re ready.

The spiritual pilgrimage energy of September continues in October, reminding us of our journey of initiation into spirit. This is our life purpose or, more accurately, the purpose of our life. I know the term ‘finding your life purpose’ has a lot of emotional cachet but we need to focus more on the soul mission aspect of our lives and less on life purpose because it’s the soul mission we came to accomplish.Our life is the purpose of that mission’s fulfillment.

But this is not a time to jump into the first thing that presents itself to us just because we’re so ready to do something and get ourselves out of whatever energetic logjam we’re in. This is a time for purposeful action, divine movement into intentional and orderly outcomes that flow from our potential into possibilities. We can override our impatience with spiritual maturity because we know that divine timing is not concerned with time, it moves according to energy flows and seeks to create the most perfectly aligned, benevolent outcome.

Can You Hurt Someones Feelings

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 22:51:28 +0000

I always think of BB King’s signature song, ‘The Thrill is Gone’ when I hear about relationship breakups because while we have to go through the process of ending it, it actually ended long before that, when the thrill was gone, when we no longer felt the same way about someone, when we realized that something had changed and we just were no longer on the same path. If we ever were – more on that in a minute.

Some time ago a friend who was faced with a relationship dilemma called and asked for my advice. She was romantically involved with a man who was in love with her but she didn’t love him. She didn’t know what to do because although she had tried to honor his feelings, she simply did not feel the same way about him.

And she felt guilty because he was so nice and tried so hard to show her how much he loved her and wanted the relationship but she felt smothered and ‘too loved’. The thrill had gone for her but not for him. She felt responsible for his feelings and guilty because she could not reciprocate them. But she also did not want to continue with a relationship that had little value for her. What should she do?

At the beginning of the relationship they were on the same path and then they were not. You know how it is when you meet someone, it’s great while you’re in that blind phase of first love but then reality sets in and you start looking at someone in a different way. This isn’t isolated to new connections, it is happening with every connection.

When the connection point is shifted because someone or something changes we have to set a new level of connection or end the relationship. It is no longer serving us and we need to move on. So how do we end it in a nice, respectful way? How do we avoid hurting someone’s feelings or making them feel bad? That becomes the focus of our decision instead of what is right and best for us. While it’s nice to be nice, it’s not a good idea to base our choices on how someone may react to them or feel about them which is something we do not know.

Are we responsible for others’ feelings? Is it true that because someone feels one way about us that we need to try to match their feelings, even if we don’t share them? Is this a test of our ability to love or is it a test of our ability to honor our own feelings? Knowing the difference can be difficult and if we let this person go, will we have a chance at another relationship?

Choices, Choosing and Change

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 22:14:02 +0000

If you do not like change and get paralyzed by indecision when you have to consider choices and make decisions you probably won’t feel too comfortable with this article and podcast because it involves the inevitability of change and how the forces of change compel us to change even when we don’t want to. This is not out of our control but remember we are guided by our soul mission and when we resist change we’re engaged in a battle between the ego and the soul and that is rarely pleasant.

What compels us to make changes in our life? Sometimes it is what other people do and the choices that they make. I have counseled many clients who were going about their daily lives and then they had to make changes because their partner cheated on them, or left, or died, or made a choice that they could not align with and the change had to occur.

Sometimes we change when we have had enough of a situation and one day we decide we’re done with the status quo.

Other times we decide we’re going to change and we go for it, only to find that we didn’t choose wisely because we didn’t get the outcome we wanted. Is that the truth or did we try to choose something we were not aligned with or could not create or we are in the habit of second guessing every choice.

When we second guess our actions it’s from the point of completion, after the change has been made. We forget our thoughts, mindset, and beliefs at the time we were considering that action. At the time it was probably the most obvious action, the only action we would consider, or the only action that we thought had any chance of success. Later, when we have different options available to us, we think we made a wrong choice but we didn’t. We made the right choice at that time.

If we look at change we have to look at the path of change and that has 4 parts,

Beliefs

Potential

Possibilities

Consequences

If we’re going to make a change our belief system has to support it or it just won’t happen. Do you ever wonder why you procrastinate a lot when you try to make a decision? It’s because the choices you are considering are not aligned with your belief system. There is another reason that I’ll talk about in a few minutes. But first you have to consider what you believe about your choices if you have trouble taking action.

We need to believe that we can successfully act on our choices to be successful. Otherwise, we won’t have any confidence and we won’t make any changes.

We need to see some kind of positive, uplifting, fulfilling, and satisfactory potential in the change or we won’t do it because it will be like stepping in a black hole. Why would we upset our lives in that way if we are not going to have any idea how the outcomes that we are creating are going to create change that we like and can live with.

The possibilities of our potentials is critical because no matter how much potential something has, if we do not believe that it is possible, it won’t happen. Someone could tell you that you have the ability to be a trapeze artist but if you are afraid of heights it won’t happen, it just won’t be possible.

It is important to explore our possibilities as we set intentions and open the path to change because without the alignment of our possibilities we won’t allow change to happen. No matter how exciting the potential may be, if there is not a matching possibility in our belief system, we will not do it.

And then there is our good friend, consequences. We do not think about consequences very much, or only when we have an accident or something happens to us. We call those consequences and yet consequences are part of every change and choice, every decision, and every action we take. Every action has a consequence, which is also a universal law, the Law of Cause and Effect.

Believe it or not, because it is true, consequences are what we use to decide on our choices, actions, changes, the paths we will take, and the potentials that we will allow to manifest. We base every decision on consequences and that includes what others do, say, and think about us and what we’re doing.

September 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 5 Sep 2022 20:26:09 +0000

months because they are what you are going to be working with all month. In particular, the divine action mantra of August – “I AM I CAN I WILL’ becomes our action plan for September. The energy theme for September is “It’s time to shine” and my thoughts on this topic may surprise you but I think you’ll agree that we have hidden, dimmed, and blocked our lights long enough. We are ready to go and to glow.

September has some unique energy aspects and it’s a step in a new direction as well as a pilgrimage of spiritual initiation that moves us into new areas of spiritual awareness and understanding. You do not have to look far to see examples of 5D everywhere around you. Even in the darkest places the light of spiritual truth and justice is shining. And we can’t forget the Mercury retrograde this month which is going to remind us that taking extra care with our travel and communications is a good idea.

This month it’s time for action as we have a powerful Mars placement that is going to be helpful in initiating quick releases of what is no longer aligned with our intention and quick replacement with something else. I know a lot of astrologers tell you to go within, month after month, and take care of your inner work but I’m telling you the opposite. The time to go within is over and we need to stop retreating to our inner sanctums and start showing the world what we’ve got. How can we know if our healing work is completed if we never take action?

It’s a powerful month with a lot of potential and should we choose to undertake our pilgrimage, a journey of spiritual initiation, it may reveal new potentials that we never considered and provide a level of completion and closure that frees us from the bondage of karma, grief, guilt, shame, and our most powerful limiters.

September’s theme is ‘It is time to shine’ and I’m announcing that your time is here. It does not matter why you have been holding back or have been held back, a new paradigm of learning and teaching is necessary now. For the nearly 20 years that I have been a spiritual mentor, teacher, and guide, I have watched as many people came to the forefront and others were left out.

People who were blessed with powerful gifts, messages, and abilities could not seem to get into the spotlight and were relegated to standing in the wings.

I wondered about that and as I saw scores of people who did not deserve the accolades they were receiving becoming icons in their field.

People who built their businesses with work stolen from others (like my content thief Christine Kane), who abused their gifts, who took advantage of people, who said things that were not true, who pretended to channel spiritual beings and who built large cult followings, who appropriated native American teachings to the detriment of some of their followers whose blind trust led to their deaths, who manipulated weak, confused, and needy people into believing that they had all of the answers and they could have them too, for a hefty price.

In 2005 I said in a channeled message from Archangel Uriel that there would come a time when the teachers the world has celebrated would be replaced with new, compassionate, legitimate teachers and that time has come. The spiritual industry has become a media commodity that only a few select are chosen to participate in while gifted teachers, healers, authors, and way showers struggle.

And that time is over. It is time to shine, to break free from the bonds of the Martyred Healer and the healing work that has bound our energy for decades in this lifetime and in countless past lifetimes, to claim our energetic sand shine our own light. I have always said that every teacher has an audience and your audience is waiting for you. It is your time to shine so start glowing and get going.

New Beliefs and Sacred Cows

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 28 Aug 2022 22:31:07 +0000

A few years ago I wrote that 'We cannot heal the world by putting ourselves on the cross'. This refers to the end of the Martyred Healer paradigm in which we sacrifice ourselves, our joy, peace of mind and heart in the name of our 'light work', and open ourselves to the Christed Awareness paradigm.

It's a graduation where we become empowered, joyful, light leaders, embodying the sacred and powerful divinity that forces us to choose between being in service as a servant to others in self limiting sacrifice and the Martyred Healer or of service as a source of inspiration in empowered mastery. We make this choice, usually unconsciously, every day and in every situation. The choices we consider as being possibilities are determined by our beliefs, what we believe is true and what we believe is possible.

To achieve transformation we must be willing to embody new beliefs - not just think they are a good idea but truly align with, integrate, and embody them as our new belief path.

To embody new beliefs we must be willing to let go of our 'sacred cows', ingrained beliefs whose release comes at the cost of changing everything we know about ourselves and the world. It's a tough choice.

A few people accused me of being disrespectful of Jesus on the cross with my comment and that's not what I meant at all. But the image of the crucifixion is the Martyred Healer's logo and that is one of the 'sacred cows' we're going to have to let go of now. Why, with everything else that Jesus did, is the cross his enduring legacy?

Why not focus on the miracles, the insistence that he was no greater than any of us, the 'many mansions' that we have access to, and the divinity which was his parting gift to us? Because Jesus didn't come to be 'the Christ', he came to teach us about being 'Christed', which is the difference between the martyr and the victor, powerless self sacrifice and empowered self awareness.

If we adopt the Christed Awareness paradigm, which is one of the 5D energy models, we have to let go of many sacred cows, including the beliefs that we must suffer, that we aren't powerful, and that we have no control over our lives.

August 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 2 Aug 2022 14:00:00 +0000

If you were struggling in July you will get some relief in August and then some. We have had some very rare and historic aspects in the past few years but the one that opens August has not happened since 324 BC. This is a clean-up month which is good for clear outs and fresh starts and with the ongoing energy movements that have been building since January the changes that I have been saying would happen this summer are on the way. It’s a month to shore up our energy boundaries and maintain our energetic integrity because anything can happen.

August has important themes of intentional action including motivation, movement, and mastery. We have to acknowledge our own mastery because no one is going to do it for us. It is time for us to stop turning in circles, asking for permission, wondering when things will happen and just get started.

The August mantra came to me yesterday as I was thinking about the energy of this month and what it means to us. The mantra is I AM I CAN I WILL

Let’s look at those phrases in more detail:

I AM is the full embodiment of our self that is healed, whole, and congruent. It is the first foundation of our mastery that allows full integration with our highest potential. I AM is the synergy between potential and possibilities.

I CAN is the full embodiment of our belief that is clear, undiluted, and unashamed. It is the second foundation of our mastery and is essential to creating the clarity that allows us to apply our wisdom to inspired intention.

I WILL is the full embodiment of our action that is intentional, directed, and purposeful. It is the third foundation of our mastery and is essential to our physical and spiritual movement. Without will we are paralyzed by fear and limited by inaction. I WILL allows us to move energy and expand our reality into higher energetic frequencies and vibrations.

Let’s look at how this applies to August, a rare month indeed. You can read the rest of this article on the blog at this link, you will read it on the enlighteninglife.com website.

Time to Pass the Baton

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 23:58:06 +0000

I have been saying for many years that ascension is a relay race, it is not a marathon. The marathon stage was required in the early decades of this ascension cycle but not any more. We are now in the second phase of the ascension cycle and it’s time for a change. If you have been feeling like you want to drop everything you are doing and do something else, it’s perfectly normal. We entered this ascension cycle on April 13. 2003 and we started ascension 2.0 on January 20, 2022. We are ready for a change of the guard.

How long and difficult has this journey been for those who have been running the ascension marathon? When I started this journey of spiritual and energy mentorship in October 2003 I thought it would be for six months, maybe seven. I had no idea that 20 years later I would still be writing, channeling, bringing in new information, and leading the ascension and energy awareness movement for millions of people.

I thought I would publish a few articles and my role would be over. I did not know that I was part of ushering in a new paradigm for humanity and that this was just the beginning.

For me it has been 20 years of service and sacrifice, of great suffering and sadness along with great joy. Like you I have lived in places as an energy anchor and portal keeper, waiting for the day when I could leave to live somewhere where I could be happy, in a community of people that I resonated with energetically and spiritually, and where my life was not such a struggle. I have been running the marathon, now it is time for a change.

That has not happened for me quite yet but I know it is coming and I know it is coming for you too because it is time to pass the baton.

Now this does not mean that we are abandoning our spiritual work because are not. We are giving the next generation of spiritual workers, healers, light bearers, and ascension an opportunity to step up and to do their own spiritual work so they can participate in this ascension cycle.

We, the early pioneers, portal keepers, and energy anchors, are not the ‘last hope’ for ascension, not at all. We are the energy anchors for the 5D energy that ascension requires and we have established that foundation so now we can let others come in and participate in the mission.

We have been the Portal Keepers for our karma groups, holding light and the dark energy escrow energy on their behalf.

We have been energy anchors in the homes and communities we live in, conduits and containers for a higher frequency energy.

And now we are ready to turn over the keys to a new group because they need to do that as part of their own soul mission. If we stay on the job for too long we do not give them the opportunity that they need to share their gifts, to add their energetic signature to the journey, and to fulfill their own Source contracts.

While we have been running the marathon, they have been preparing for the race and learning from us. Now it’s time for them to shine too and they are ready and waiting for the baton to be handed to them. But that doesn’t mean we go out to pasture. We have other things to do, so keep reading/listening because our work is not done yet, not by a long shot.

My Way Or The Highway

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 19:29:43 +0000

This podcast and article are about the people who manipulate, blame, shame, intimidate, and issue ultimatums to you to get you to do what they want. Everyone has this kind of person in their life or has an experience of them. They are impossible to deal with, they cause drama, trauma, and chaos, they refuse to consider anyone else’s needs or position and they can be very mean when they do not get their way. Their ‘my way or the highway’ attitude lets you know that they only value you to the extent you are useful to them and your needs do not matter at all and especially not more than theirs. But you do have options and solutions so let’s talk about the my way or the highway people in your life, what they can teach you, and how to remove them and their influence from your life.

Why is this important to you and what does it have to do with spirituality, energy, congruence, and energetic sovereignty, topics that you usually hear me speak and write about? Because these people and situations are your biggest, most frustrating, and most obsessive energy drains. They are your energetic black holes, where you pour energy into them hoping for a transformation. They are your biggest emotional black holes, where you have so much emotional energy invested in the outcomes you want and the connections and transformations you want to happen that they trigger you into saying and doing things that are not in your best interests or highest good.

Understanding the process of aggressive ultimatums and people and situations that have the potential to create so much drama, trauma, and chaos in your life is your first step into unraveling the energetic and karmic ties that bind you to them.

What do you do when you try hard to please someone and no matter what you do they refuse to see things your way or to compromise with their position? They want their way, no matter what and they want you to honor their path, fears, desires, and needs no matter how outrageous or difficult they are or how much it costs you in terms of time, energy, or emotions. No matter how many times you tell them you are not available, it is inconvenient for you, you simply cannot do what they want, they ignore your protests and act as if you said yes.

They are a basket of needs, steamrolling through your life, upsetting your plans, and status quo, demanding that you make them a priority in every situation. They must always be the center of attention, at the forefront of every consideration, and you must be willing to drop everything and respond to their whims. Or you must give them what they ask for or want, no matter how inconvenient it is, you do not want to, or it just will not work for them.

I’m not exaggerating here because these kinds of people do exist and you may have known one or more of them in your life. In fact, you may know a few of them right now. They can be anyone – family, friends, your children, your partner, husband, or wife. They can be a manager or boss or another employee at work. They can be a customer in your business. It’s always ‘my way or the highway’ with them and you seem to have no way to escape their overpowering energy and incessant demands.

July 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 5 Jul 2022 03:32:53 +0000

June ended with a strong new moon that set the energy for July and it’s all about karma endings, timeline shifts, and freedom. Not surprisingly, we get this in a month whose theme in the US is independence and freedom. We get a big dose of freedom this month, whether we are willing to do the release work or not. It’s time for us to get comfortable with transformation and the energy consequences that accompanies our intention for joy, freedom, peace, and love. We enter the month on a path for embodying our self ideation, one of the themes of 2022, and we have the US and global second Pluto return, a more stable and grounded 4 numerology, and a lot of energy supporting July’s themes of freedom, acceptance, karmic booms, and decisions.

The big theme in July is freedom – freedom from karma, freedom within ourselves, the state of being free and the opportunity to choose freedom. We can always choose freedom and release ourselves from what limits us but we are not always willing to bear the consequences of our actions. Other July energy themes are karmic endings, decisions and acceptance and they are all tied to freedom, the state of being free and having choices for freedom. Pay attention to those nuances because they are important.

There is always an option for freedom in any situation – we can simply say no and leave but the decision to have freedom is another matter entirely.

We want it all – freedom to do what we want, to have great relationships with people who are incapable of having those with us, at least at this time, no guilt and shame, and the validation and acknowledgement of our long standing efforts at healing those in our karmic circles and soul groups.

But we are asking for the impossible and we now have to choose something else. While nothing is impossible in the Universe, we all have free will and energetic sovereignty, and the ability to choose our path. But no matter how wonderful we think the healing path is, to someone who doesn’t want to heal or to achieve wholeness or congruence, who is happy living in the 3D density of their world, it is not an option they want to consider.

Does It Resonate

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 23 Jun 2022 03:35:58 +0000

Have you noticed how things that were once only part of the small spiritual community are now becoming much more mainstream? During a commercial advertising a new movie, I heard the announcer say ‘Everyone will resonate with this film.” That really got my attention, not because I think the film is good but because they used the word ‘resonate’. Once reserved for the spiritual or new age communities, it is now part of the vernacular and used in everyday language. And getting people to think about the idea of resonance and energy connections is a good thing.

Let’s not make the mistake of putting resonance into the spiritual basket and then calling it good because ‘all things spiritual are good’. Resonance simply refers to an energetic alignment and synergy and nothing else, it is not good or bad. We resonate with what is aligned with our energetic frequency and includes what we need to feel good, to be happy, to heal, to feel complete, and to feel recognized, valued, authentic, and acknowledged.

We resonate with our fears, our joy, our success, and our failures. Depending on what we are willing to allow into our lives, we will bring in everything that we resonate with to make our intentions a reality and create the life of our dreams or of our nightmares.

To casually portray resonance as something positive, alluring, and simple is preventing us from understanding how resonance can take us down the path of victimhood, grief, and fear if we do not pay attention to what we are resonating with, and why. We can resonate with what causes us pain as well as what brings us joy. The majority of what we resonate with is aligned with our life lessons and learning and that’s why resonance should be used with clarity and discernment.

There is a difference between resonating with what we want to be aligned with and resonating with what we can be or are actually aligned with. Understanding that can help us understand why we make choices in the short term that do not work out for us in the longer term and why we make what we later call ‘bad choices’ because what we resonate with is exactly and perfectly aligned with our energy in each moment.

But underneath our desire for joy or peace or love or abundance is an even deeper need to resonate with something else that meets our need to be validated, acknowledge, safe, secure, loved, and appreciated. And that is what we resonate with and what really drives our choices.

Here’s an example. You say you resonate with success and financial security so you set your intention for a good job with a fancy title, a great salary and upward career mobility. You work harder than anyone else and you become very successful. Now you have lots of money to spend, a fancy title and all of the benefits, and you feel great about your outer life.

But you work too hard, put in too many hours, and you have no free time. You are afraid of losing your job to competitors and office politics, and you no longer like your job but you stay at it for the salary. You are not happy and that’s disappointing because you thought all of that hard work would be it for you, you would have ‘made it’ and you would have the ‘lived happily for ever after’ life.

You may say ‘I do not resonate with this job any more’ but that would not be true. The job was not what you resonated with at all and that is why you are now having ‘resonance dissonance’ because what you really resonated with was having status, financial security, and not being poor.You thought that getting the great job and big salary would solve your problems but they created problems of their own because the great job and big salary were a stop gap measure that did not address far deeper fears and anxieties.

Read the rest of the article on the blog at this link.

How do you change this? By being aware of what you are really resonating with and shifting your intention to that. By honestly assessing your needs and realizing what it is that makes you feel safe, secure, protected, and in control of your reality. At some level, we all resonate with those things and ultimately, that is what we want to create in our lives with every intention we set.

June 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 7 Jun 2022 23:03:46 +0000

Welcome to June with a new vibe and an opportunity to get creative with the energy that was stirred up in the 11 month of May 2022. This month we have a rare astro aspect, Mercury goes direct, Saturn starts its annual 5 month retrograde, Pluto retros back to the 27.38 degree of the US (and global) Pluto return, and we are going to see more awakening and action taking. We have gotten through May’s 11 vibration and have been through a lot this first half of the year. Now it’s time to jettison the ballast, raise the anchor, and open our wings wide to see how far we can fly.

Are you as glad to see May end as I am? It was not an easy month. If you have been following the story of the flooding damage to my house that happened in late January, in May I had the restoration crew out to my house 5 times to fix unfinished or improperly repaired work. I think they are finally finished. I hope so. It has been a difficult project for them mainly because everything went wrong and they never seemed to be able to finish.

I am not sure why but I tend to bring that out in companies. If there are holes in their process or issues with training or performance, my project will be the example of everything that is wrong. From being the person who could always (and does still) find bugs in software in my tech days to the person who has been the victim of terrible content and IP theft and has become the voice of public revelation and condemnation for these illegal activities, I must be the Portal Keeper for out of synch energies in the corporate world. Maybe that’s why I just could not get the hang of the corporate world and my corporate career ended after having six layoffs in eight years.

Read the rest of this article on the Enlightening Life Blog at this link.

Quite frankly, I am getting a little tired of this and if you know this is true about yourself, you probably are too. It just seems to be something that I am wired to do. Do you have the same experience with people and in certain situations? Do you see the out of synch energies, energy gaps, and situations that are not congruent? Do you notice that you attract the people who need help, healing, support, and advice for their problems? Is this a long term trend in your life? Are you ready to change it? If it is what you are ‘wired to do’ you can be complete with that mission and instead, connect with people who support and nurture you. If you’re ready for that June is a great month to get started.

Are you ready to take a different path? Is it time for a big change in how you work, who you work for, what kind of work you do, and doing work you really enjoy and are passionate about? If you have been looking for a life change or expanding into something new or even taking something you’re doing now in a different direction, you will get support for it in June. I have a lot of experience in this area and am completing a project to help you with that so stay tuned and watch for details in the coming days.

June moves us our of the difficult 11 master number of May into a more creative and harmonious 3 of June 2022 (6 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12 and 1 + 2 = 3). 11 months are always tough because while 11 is one of the master numbers, it is the number of the initiate, the beginner.

As beginners in any new cycle we have to create new energy pathways and let go of the old ones that won't be appropriate for our new path. Have you noticed that when we have a month with an 11 number vibration there are a lot of changes and upsets, bigger energy downloads, more ascension symptoms and fatigue, and it is full of challenges? That’s because we are being shown where things in the status quo have to go and we sure have seen a lot of that during the past few years.

Sometimes we become aware of these by ourselves and other times they make themselves very obvious. Either way, it is our choice to shift the vibe and let go or not but we do not always have full control over that process.

Sometimes things let go of us no matter how much we want them to stay and we can’t do anything to get them back. As I always say, we are not in control of others’ energy or choices.

From Boredom to Motivation

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 25 May 2022 21:59:34 +0000

I used to think that being bored meant having nothing to do, so if I had things to do and I was bored, it meant that I was being irresponsible or lazy. But that is not what boredom means. It is a sign that there is an energetic misalignment between the life we are on and new paths, opportunities, and potentials that our soul is trying to open our awareness to.

When I was growing up my mother gave us extra chores to do if we were bored so we made sure to always act and look busy because we didn't want to do extra work. But hiding our boredom, especially from ourselves, is not a good thing to do because boredom serves an important purpose in letting us know that our energy tank is out of gas and we need a new vibe and a refill to get motivated and move forward.

Boredom is a tug of war between the mind and the spirit, an invitation to find another way to ‘be’, instead of finding something else to do. (Why you’re seeing a photo of my bathroom is explained at the end of the article).

Our needs change over time and we feel stuck and frustrated because the energy that is creating the path that we are on is not giving us the results we want. The energy we have used to create our current reality will only fuel that reality. If we want to create something else, we need to use different energy. And that is the message that our boredom is trying to give us.

Motives, Motivation, and Timelines

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 13 May 2022 03:35:45 +0000

I would call myself a motivated person in the sense that I am energetic, positive, accomplished, efficient, and I am very results oriented. But that is according to the generally accepted definition of the word ‘motivation’ and it does not do justice to the concept of motivation. When we look at motivation clearly we have to ask the question, ‘why are you doing this’ because the true definition of motivation is your reason for doing something. And that is not always the reason you are telling yourself. it is the underlying, deep, true reason for your actions and when we investigate our motivations and motives we can find that we can have more than one and they are often not aligned or working together.

There is an external reason and an internal reason for everything that we are motivated to do.

What is my reason for how I work and live my life? I am a learner, I love learning new things, exploring new adventures and being able to get things done. I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that accompanies starting and finishing a new task. I have over 100 pairs of shoes. I love being outside, gardening, bicycling, and hiking. I am an accomplished musician and I enjoy playing music. I am also a celebrated author and podcaster and I love interacting with people from all over the world.

That is my external reason for my motivation. And that is what really serves as a motivator which is something I know now but I did not know for many years. And I was driven to do things that I did not understand or know why they were so important.

I always start my May Energy Reports (I have been writing these energy reports since 2008) with a reminder that the month’s name can be both a declarative and an interrogative, I may or May I, and how we use the word ‘may’ determines the path our lives take. If we’re always asking for permission (May I) we will spend a lot of time waiting for someone to agree with our course of action before we take action. But if we step into our energetic sovereignty and declare our intention (I may), we have to be willing to face the consequences of our actions if others disagree with us.

Either way, self awareness, self confidence, and self reliance are going to be important in navigating the month of May where different choices, fresh starts, completion, and closure work together to create transformation.

May begins with the echo of the April 30 new moon solar eclipse with its strong spiritual and healing signatures. This balance of spiritual wholeness and healing our areas of energy incompleteness is going to be a theme in May and we will find ourselves going back and forth between celebrating a victory and being reminded of its cost in terms of pain, suffering, and loss. No matter how well intentioned, clear, or determined we are in our need to let go, move on, and start fresh, everything we let go of is accompanied by some degree of regret and a desire for a different outcome.

Isn’t this what we face with every transformation? To get something we have to give up something else – we have to give up our desire to heal everyone to walk powerfully on our own path. We have to give up our expectations of love to let someone go who cannot love us that way. We have to give up our belief that anything can be transformed and everyone wants to have joy to free ourselves of the burden of feeling that we are not entitled to joy when there are unhappy people in the world.

Remember the old song ‘Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May’? Last month was tough and there may have been a lot of tears and upset that will compel you to create a blooming transformation in May. What do you want to bloom in your life and what part of the past can be composted to be used as fertilizer for your fresh start.

Repossess Your Power

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 18 Apr 2022 17:40:18 +0000

I am not a big fan of the phrases ‘give your power away’ or ‘take back your power’ because they do not adequately describe a very important process that can involve important lessons which we must understand to be able to fully own and use our own power.

So we are going to address the issues of repossessing our power by looking at why we feel we have to disown our power by giving our power away, who we give it to and why, and what we need to do to repossess it which begins with owning and claiming it. Notice the focus on how this happens is clear – we give our power away all by ourselves.

Why do we ignore our power, give it away to others, or refuse to own and claim it? There are so many reasons so I will group them into 3 main areas and I go into greater detail in the podcast:

1. We want others to like and value us so we pretend to be less powerful to fit in with them. Now before you think it sounds silly, admit that it is true. If you want to belong to a group you’ll try to fit in with them. So you’ll make yourself appear more like them and that includes matching their levels of energy and power. If having a relationship means you must hide your true power, diminishing it, or that is what you will do.

2. We are embarrassed at being powerful and are afraid of the potential of our power. This is more true than many will admit. They think that being powerful is a liability and are afraid that they might misuse or abuse their power, or have it used against them or used against others. So they hide their abilities and their power from others. Included in this reason is the abuse and misuse of power in former lifetimes, especially in lifetimes of royalty or great wealth and privilege.

3. We believe others are more competent than we are so we give our power to them. Sometimes this is required of us in relationships, other times it arises from our belief that we are not powerful or capable of handling our own power and creating our reality. Maybe we are struggling with guilt and shame – how many of you have been shamed for your power by being called ‘different’ or been told to stop shining (in one way or another), or have been made to feel guilty because you are more accomplished than others? Maybe we feel that we have too many failures, missteps, or missed opportunities and we just can’t get our life right. We also want to meet others’ expectations and serve them by becoming their healer so we give them our power to help them on their path.

Which of these reasons do you resonate with and don’t be surprised if there is more than one. We tend to give our power away or relinquish it, pretending it does not belong to us, when we feel it is going to lead to unwanted consequences like rejection, persecution, abandonment, or betrayal. And we have a lot of history to support those beliefs because remember we are dealing with lifetimes of soul cycles and karmic experiences with the people who challenge our power and who engage in power struggles with us.

To repossess means to take possession of something you own. Think about that for a minute. You take back the power you already own when you repossess it. What do you think about that? You already own the power, you have always owned it, you allowed someone else to use it and now you are going to take possession of it so you can use it in your own life and for yourself.

Whatever you are setting an intention for, planning, want to do, dream of, envision, or want in your life is something that is already part of your field of potential. And it requires your power to make it happen. The power you need to do that is already yours, you just have to name it and claim it and then repossess it, take possession of it, so you can use it in your life.

April 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 6 Apr 2022 23:40:30 +0000

April starts and ends with a new moon, 30 days to move from beginnings to endings to beginnings again. Its theme is ‘rise and shine’ – notice that the word ‘rise’ comes first. We can shine without rising but it is so much more effective to rise and shine our lights at a higher frequency and with a brighter light.

Another April theme is ‘repossession’ which is one step above the concept of ‘taking back’, it means to claim ownership. To possess something is to own it, so when we repossess our power, we are reclaiming what we own and bringing it back into our energy field and our reality. What do you need to repossess now? What aspects of your power have you given away, not claimed, let others borrow, use, or take? Your joy, peace of mind, heart, and spirit, your confidence, your self esteem? April is a good month to repossess your energy. You’ll need it to take intentional, inspired action this month.

We will also experience rejection and rebalancing in relationships this month, a recalibration of our own energy, and how we use and share it. No more Martyred Healer pathways, it’s time for us to embrace, name, and claim our Empowered Mastery. Rejection is a response to energetic misalignment. Did you consider that those who reject you are very aware that they are not energetically aligned with you?

We cannot help those who are not willing to be helped, who do not want our help, and who think we are being rude, overbearing, and imposing our will on them when we try. Listen to the podcast to hear my experience of this. It was a great lesson to me that it is not in my best interests to point out errors or inconsistencies that someone is making, even if it makes them look foolish, uneducated, and wrong.

Resistance and Change

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 21:27:47 +0000

Why do we resist change? The simple answer is that it upsets the status quo, takes us out of our comfort zone, we don’t know what’s going to happen when we do change, and we’re scared. I think if we acknowledge the simple truth that we are scared of change because just don’t know if we can deal with it or what is going to happen to us, we would stop trying to pretend to be brave about it and look at change as a step by step process instead of a chaotic mess that we can avoid by being resistant to change.

You know the expression ‘what we resist persists’ and that is not necessarily true. What we resist doesn’t happen but that doesn’t mean that the spark of a new awakened potential doesn’t still beckon us to consider it as an option. We can have that light of an awakened potential blinding us with its brilliance but if we are scared we are going to close our eyes and ignore it as long as we can.

What does it mean to resist? The word resist means to ‘remain standing’ or to oppose an action. So when we resist we are in opposition and that is a good position to be in when we feel we do not have enough information to say yes to change and no to the status quo. We rather like the status quo, it’s what we know, where we can anticipate the future, and it is where we can feel that we are in control.

Sometimes we resist out of a desire to affirm our control even if that is not the best option.

Sometimes we resist because we don’t trust ourselves to handle the change.

We can resist because we are more afraid of success and of what it will do to our lives than we are of staying where we are or experiencing failure.

And we resist for a myriad of personal reasons, many of which have to do with being afraid. A few weeks ago my weekly article and podcast was on the subject of truth and consequences and I said that we allow ourselves to acknowledge a truth to the extent that we are willing to accept its consequences.

If the consequences are too scary, big, life changing, or control impacting, we will resist that truth, even if we know it is true.

Take the example of one of my clients, I’ll call her Maria, who had come to me about a relationship that she was desperately trying to keep together. I told her the man was cheating on her, lying to her, and would eventually leave her for someone else. She told me I was wrong, I didn’t understand him, they were in love, etc. The truth was that Maria was afraid of being alone, had abandonment issues, and thought that she could change this man into a loving, committed partner. I heard from her occasionally over a 2 year period and my answer was always the same while she was still trying to keep the relationship together in spite of being treated with great disrespect and a huge lack of consideration.

Eventually the man did leave and Maria was devastated. When she called me again she acknowledged that she had worked so hard, much too hard, to keep the relationship together and had resisted my advice, as well as that of everyone she knew, to let him go. But she resisted out of fear and a desire to turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse, as the saying goes. This man could have been anyone and the situation was the same. Her fear of facing her life alone was the reason she held on to the relationship for so long and resisted letting it go even though she had many reasons to. In fact, she was willing to overlook all of his bad behavior because she was so resistant to change.

Ascension Takeaway is Not a Good Plan

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 03:37:19 +0000

It would be so nice if ascension was a ‘done for you’ process so you could just sit back, relax, and it would all happen. But that is not the way it works and even with the best, strongest, most aligned, and powerful intentions, we are still part of a process that is partially dependent on the actions and energies of others. And we have agreed to stay within an energy range to participate in that process even though it slows our own ascension process down.

Confused? Surprised? Don’t be. If you’re here as part of your soul mission, and most of you are, then you agreed to participate in this ascension cycle and you also agreed to a few stipulations so you would stay within an energy frequency range so you could actually work at the 3D level and not float off into the energetic stratosphere. I call these people Portal Keepers and they have an important mission of ascension protection.

They also have a sacred contract to participate in ascension and ensure its success, whatever it takes. They are not here to do all of the ascension work, just make sure that it gets done, the energy is here to achieve it, and that there is support for our ascension journey.

So to be clear, no one is here to rescue, save, or magically transition us into 5D. No matter how much we wish that was true, it is not. We are in it for the long haul and that will be as long or as short as we make it. While it is true that we do not leave anyone behind, we also do not get to forge ahead of everyone at supersonic speed because we are still part of the collective ascension cycle. No one gets to get out too far ahead of the collective and you’ll hear why on the podcast version of this article.

March 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 3 Mar 2022 23:17:49 +0000

I love the month of March because it is the only month that is an action word. March 4th is my favorite date because every time I say it I am reminded that no matter what has happened in the past, the way out of a challenge is to take one step towards a new beginning. I remember the old saying ‘March comes in like a lion’ and this one certainly does with a blast of a new moon on the second and strong energy aspects to keep us moving forward with courage, clarity, and confidence all month.

March themes include awareness, alignment, acceptance, and acknowledgement. It’s a big energy month but that is what we need for the times. If we’re ready for some action March will deliver it in very big ways.

March is a 9 energy vibration, the number of completion and endings which also prepares us for new beginnings. We can get stuck in the endings by looking longingly at what is no longer part of our lives and forget that endings simply mean that we have run out of energy road, as I always say, in that situation.

Every ending precedes a beginning unless we drag out the endings because we feel the loss more than we see the gain. We have had so many endings in the past few years, many of them accompanied by disappointments that someone could behave in such inconsiderate ways but what the past few years has shown us is what is in someone’s true heart of hearts, what they really feel and most of all, what they fear the most. It is hard to watch people we once thought of as rational to act so irrationally but we have also never seen so much fear promoted to so many people.

If you remember a few months ago I talked about how the energy cycle we thought ended in 2012 actually began so 2021 was the end of that cycle. And I also said we were now in Ascension 2.0, a new ascension cycle, as of January 2022 when the Ascension cycle that began in April 2003 ended.

The Role of the Soul

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 03:52:09 +0000

The soul is somewhat of a mystery, an enigma, and we want to know more about this presence in our lives that is the source of our joy and at times of our pain. What is the role of the soul, what does it do for us, and how do we connect with, work with, and embody it? It’s a delicate balance that we need to perfect over our lifetime, not giving it too much or not enough power, attention, and space in our lives. Learning to create the soul-self partnership, establishing the boundaries of our co-creative partnership, and learning to align with the soul’s energy is something that we learn for ourselves as we establish the role of the soul in our lives.

The soul is the new spin engine for coaches, pundits, instagram influencers, and people who are looking for that next conversation starter since they have moved away from the laws of abundance and attraction, and other topics. There is a lot of information out there now about how we connect with the soul. We can be ‘soul sourced’, ‘soul led’, ‘soul driven’, and ‘soul focused’. There is a lot of emphasis on divinity, the soul’s mysteries, the soul’s purpose, soul mastery, and soul alignment.

What is wrong with all of these topics? They give the power to the soul, they put the soul in charge and make the conversation all about the soul. And that is wrong. We are the energy containers for the soul’s energy and no matter how much we want the soul to be in charge that is never going to happen.

The soul is our partner, not our leader. If we were taking a road trip with the soul it would be sitting in the passenger seat, not the driver’s seat. If we were running a company with our soul it would be our chief financial officer, not the CEO. It is going to tell us when we have overdrawn our bank account but it will not put money in it.

Intention, Motivation, and Purpose

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 21:18:47 +0000

When my children were young I had no problem getting them to do what I asked because there was always a motivating factor. Sometimes it was money, other times it was a special activity or a special treat that they wanted. Once their chores were done they got the reward. If they did not do their chores, no reward. Depending on what the reward was, they were usually very quick to do the work. And it only took one time of not getting the reward to let them know that it was a motivator for their effort and they were expected to make the effort.

We need that kind of motivating factor too because intention is not enough. If we set an intention without a motivator we are going to be disappointed in the results or the result may take a lot longer than we want it to.

We are driven by motivation and sometimes that motivation is a serious situation that forces us to take action because we are in trouble. Other times we simply don’t want to do something and even the motivation of a dire consequence is not enough to get us excited about our intention or the outcome. And from another angle, our motivation can be based on what someone else wants or our desire to impress, manipulate, or convince someone that we are worthy of their attention, love, and acknowledgement. No judgment here but if you carefully dissect your motivation, it can be far different from the grand and glorious statements of spiritual purpose that we like to think motivates us to take action.

To get our intention to work we need a motivator, a valid reason to accomplish something and we tend to put that responsibility onto our purpose, which we interpret to mean the overarching reason that we are alive and in our reality.

But we take the word purpose out of context and give it an important spiritual meaning, one that we may never be able to achieve, and then we use that to judge ourselves and our journey. No wonder we always find ourselves lacking and think we are not on the right path. Sometimes our motivation is not very spiritual, it is weak and needy, fearful, selfish, and even unrealistic or illogical.

How do we take our intention and give it a purpose that motivates and inspires us? We use the most important word in our intention vocabulary and that is the word ‘because’. This is the word that takes our intention out of the lofty real estate of our head and heart and moves it into the stark truth of our reality. I want to eat because my body needs nourishment is far different from I want to eat because I am hungry and that is the stark reality. When do we eat? When we’re hungry.

February 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 2 Feb 2022 23:52:51 +0000

January went by rather quickly and it was a very eventful month. You may not have felt that there was a lot going on but we need to consider what is happening energetically, the activity below the surface of our awareness, whose results are not immediately obvious to us but that are creating powerful undercurrents for transformation. During the last few days of January the Sun was very active with dozens of solar flares erupting, sending us bright rays of encouragement and the high vibe energy that will empower February’s huge potential for awakening, transformation, and restitution. It’s also the Chinese New Year and we usher in the year of the Tiger, a very fitting mascot for this month.

February opens with a powerful new moon on February 1 and features all of the personal planets, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, in Capricorn, which has housed Pluto since 2008. I have been writing about the interaction between these planets and Pluto since October 2021 because it is such a powerful metaphor for what is happening in the world. It’s truly a ‘power to the people’ moment and a shift in the balance of power from global tyranny to global solidarity for freedom and justice.

If you have been watching the Canada convoy with more than 50,000 road warriors in their majestic trucks, crossing the country to protest in the capital, it is truly a sight to behold. And it is being echoed around the world. We’re watching the 3D paradigm of control, domination, power over, competition, separation, disconnection, and tyranny dissolve to be replaced with the 5D energies of community, connection, collaboration, cooperation, and creativity. Don’t let the pushback by the darkest agendas against this force for the light intimidate you.

The February 1 new moon highlights that 5D energy and it’s in Aquarius, which is the sign that governs 5D integration. It is also aspecting both Saturn and Uranus, which both rule Aquarius. I think that’s some 5D encouragement, do you? It is interesting to note that there is so much community interaction happening all over the world and one of Aquarius’ aspects is community.

How to Predict Your Future

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 23:58:14 +0000

Yes you can create and you can predict your future. In fact, you do it every day with each decision you face and the choices that you allow to be part of that decision.

Predicting the future is less about intuition than it is about considering your potential and possibilities and what you will surrender to, or allow to happen.

You could be presented with the most wonderful opportunities for a fabulous future but if you do not allow them to become possible, nothing will happen.

Predicting the future involves several aspects:

knowing that there are two paths to every future
understanding how the possibilities bridge works
knowing where your point of power pivot is and when it is happening
awareness of the connection between energy and potential.

Invision, Intend, Inspire, Indulge

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 22:09:34 +0000

You probably do not think about being self indulgent as part of our spiritual path but it is one of the most important aspects of our spiritual growth that we overlook and even avoid. Being indulgent is seen as engaging in acts that are selfish excessive, and exorbitant. But indulgence actually means to be lenient, permissive, soothing, and having mercy. How does this fit into the intention process? Let’s look at the whole process and all of its steps because you cannot single out one aspect without seeing how it fits in with all of the other aspects.

In the intention process we have to first look at the inner work that is necessary, I call this in-vision because you have to have an inner vision of what you’re intending and the outcome you’re creating in order to be fully engaged in and on board with what you’re doing. If you have ever put flat pack furniture together, like anything from IKEA, you know that you cannot do it without the picture (or it is not very easy to do). That picture on the instructions gives your mind the vision of what the finished product is supposed to look like.

Then with the vision firmly in our minds we can set the intention. You cannot set an intention without a vision or an idea of what your outcome is going to be. How many of you order from a menu based on the picture or something you have seen another diner order? I know I have. In fact, why do you think restaurants put pictures on their menu or in their advertisements? Remember the saying ‘A picture is worth 1000 words’?

Then we have to be inspired to maintain the momentum towards the outcome and the flow of energy. The word ‘inspire’ literally means ‘in spirit’. When we are inspired we are acting from our spirit, engaging spiritually and using our energy resources to empower our intention. It doesn’t happen any other way. Anyone who tells you that it’s as easy as setting an intention and sitting back and waiting for it to happen is not being honest and they’re deliberately sabotaging the process. Nothing happens without your engagement and continuous inspiration.

And finally we have indulgence, which is the process of allowing yourself to receive your blessings. What happens if you do not let this final step happen? You’re setting intentions for things you will never allow to manifest for you. You are limiting the flow of energy into your life and you will never manifest what you want. You’re creating blocks around receiving for reasons that you may not even be aware of. What are some of them?

2022 Annual Predictions

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 22:37:55 +0000

I would like to say that we begin 2022 with a clean slate and a fresh start but that would not be true. We start this year with a lot of carryover energy from 2021 and 2020. This is a very pivotal year and what happens this year will determine how this ascension cycle progresses and what happens between now and 2025 and 2030.

I think I can say that after the last two years many people are looking forward to a new year and new energies. We have been through a lot since 2020 and we’re ready for a new vibe, new energies, more peace, and a lot less chaos.

Every year has an energy theme and if we look back at the themes of the last two years they have focused on topics like congruence, harmony, wholeness, and aspects that created energetic cohesiveness. That continues through this year because the one thing that will serve us in our ongoing ascension process is to maintain our energetic integrity.

That’s why in this year the focus shifts from being the source of healing, light, and energy to being the inspired source for those who choose that option and to learn to shift some of our energy to our own needs.

One of the energy tools that will be very useful and helpful in 2022 is discernment, which means to separate, differentiate, distinguish, and discriminate. When we use discernment we look at people, situations, events firstly as to how they fit or align with us and our path and our energy.

We look at intention, agendas, purposes, and meanings. Rather than saying ‘yes’ to taking on new healing paths or responsibilities or commitments, we consider the cost to us and our energy, we look at whether this is something we want to do and whether it is an asset to our overall intention and energy potential or whether it is a liability, something that will drain us of our joy, peace of mind, and peace of heart.

We need to move forward and spend a lot less time on healing ourselves and especially, healing others or wanting to heal the world.

Since 2000 we have been in a battle between the dark and the light – look at what happened in 2001. And we have seen a lot of examples of the darkest of 3D energies at work in the past 2 years, and they are not over yet but we have an advantage because light always overtakes darkness.

January 2022 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 7 Jan 2022 23:07:26 +0000

While it’s the beginning of the calendar year, the solar year begins in March with the Spring Equinox so if you’re not really feeling the new year rush of ‘newness’, don’t worry, we have a lot of energy to process from 2021 this month as well as some old cycles that are ending and new ones beginning. Buckle up, it’s a big month and a big start to a new year.

We begin the new year with a 6 vibration, much more settled and calm than the awkward 5 vibration of 2021.But this is not an ordinary 6 as it comes from the 2+2+2 which we only get once in a millennium and it underscores one of the big themes of this year which is energetic congruence and divine harmony. The number 2 is a pair, a couple, things that go together, resonance, sameness, and balance. And with January as a 1 month we have a 7 number vibration for this month, which is the number of spirituality, introspection, and creating balance within.

With a 7 vibration we have the wisdom and power to weed out the distractions, sources of chaos, and things that do not contribute to our forward movement. And as the first month of this new year, it’s a good time to start thinking about who and what you want to accompany you in the new year and how you want your year to manifest.

Some big energy movements in January include the lunar node changing sign on January 19. Now this is a big deal because this happens every 2 years and in 19 year cycles. With this one we have to look at April 2003, when the previous lunar node in Taurus cycle started and at August 2012, when the lunar node went into Scorpio. In December 2012 we had the big 12-12-12 date which everyone thought was going to be the end of the world and which, it appeared, turned out to be nothing.

But was it? I don’t think so.

It was the beginning, not the end, of a huge transformation cycle which we saw happening in 2021, 9 years later. And we now have the midpoint of that cycle happening with the lunar nodes, happening with the very important US and global Pluto return in February. More on that in the 2022 Predictions Report.

Promises Expectations and Assumptions

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 22:38:19 +0000

Why do we get so blindsided by certain people? Why do we think we can trust someone and then we are shocked when they betray us? How can we know someone so well and then be surprised by their behavior? Why do people break their promises to us? What is wrong with them?

If you’re really resonating with this or this describes nearly every relationship in your life, don’t worry. It is something that everyone experiences and it is not your fault, so to speak but it is your doing. Every relationship we have, with everyone in our life, will disappoint, betray, abandon, or surprise us in some way and how badly that turns out to be depends on us because we secretly disagree on some very important relationship parameters, namely promises, expectations, and assumptions.

Relationships are such a significant part of our lives and having strong, loving, fulfilling, and supportive relationships is something we all strive for, long for, and try very hard to achieve. For something that we want so much why do we have to work so hard to get it and why is it so hard to hang onto?

If we are very honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that one of the things we do in relationships is ‘fill in the blanks’ when someone gets close to us. Have you ever done that? Of course you have. It is what happens when we overlook habits, actions, and the things we don’t like and use a ‘weighted system’ to ignore their shortcomings or worse, we think they will change in time.

The real problem is that we do not honestly assess how determined we are to make something work that really should be left alone and, in our need for a relationship we set our standards and then expect others to meet them. I am not being cruel or unkind here, this happens all of the time and we have all done this.

If we want wonderful relationships we have to be willing to ask hard questions, make tough choices, and to be very clear about how we contribute to the bad behavior we often see in our relationships because we do not manage our own energy and how we deal with promises, expectations, and assumptions. This is what I call the PEA assessment and it is an uncomfortable examination that reveals how we sabotage our ability to have strong relationships and how we work hard to create relationships out of connections that do not exist.

December 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 1 Dec 2021 23:30:53 +0000

And here we are at the end of the year, this is the final month. As we look back on the events of 2021 I think we can agree that we never could have imagined many of the things that happened. But they did and the next question is, where do we go from here? What does moving forward look like? How do we rise above the chaos and believe in the traditions and structures we feel have failed us (badly). The energy themes of December include activating your self ideation triad - self awareness, self reliance, and self empowerment. Other themes include consequences, inspiration, and truth. Do nothing blindly - Trust, but verify. Pray for sun and carry an umbrella. Be open to following a new path and make sure you’re the one driving the car.

December is either an enjoyable ending or a mad rush to tie up loose ends because it marks the end of the year. This December ushers in an 8 vibration, which some will say is the sign of infinity and it is. But it also represents the endless loop of karma and healing cycles, the lifetimes of commitments and promises we make until we decide we no longer want to do that. We can either break the karmic chain or take a few more turns around its path and the energy to do that arrives with the powerful transformational energies of December.

In December we can break free from the old cycles that limit our soul alignment, growth, and joy and move into the creativity of the 5D path. But before you jump on board with that remember that the 4D bridge is the point of no return. Once you step on it, you can never go back. And once you release those energies, things, thoughts, beliefs, and everything else that prevents you from taking that first step onto the 4D bridge, you can never get them back either. If you have ever wondered what prevents you, or anyone else, from making this commitment, this is it. It’s a big commitment.

Take Care of your Own Business

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 25 Nov 2021 00:42:07 +0000

It’s so easy to get lost in the chaos of what is going on in the world today. With so much fear and uncertainty swirling around we’re uncomfortable and we’re scared too. Our first response to that fear is to want to fix it, to remove it, to take care of the people who are causing or feeding it, to make it go away, to fight it, to shine more light on it, or to hide somewhere and hope that it goes away.

If we did our work so well why is ascension such a mess? Well, we did our work well and our job was to create the energy foundation that allowed the groundswell of awakening to happen. And all we have to do now is to take care of our own business, which is not changing the world or the people in it, it is taking care of ourselves and our life path and soul mission.

You have heard me say this so many times before, while it is great and noble to want to help others, it is not something that we can or should do without using a great deal of discernment and self restraint.

5 Reasons Why forgiveness is so hard

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 10:39:51 +0000

I know that everyone reading this can think of a life situation where someone treated them badly and they are still angry, hurt, or upset over it. If that person is someone they interact with regularly the hurt is replayed in excruciating detail everything you see them or even think about them. People say we should forgive the other person in these situations and let it go. Maybe we should but it is hard to do for a lot of reasons, all of them valid.

Forgiveness is a choice we can make much more easily when we understand and validate the reasons why we don’t, can’t, or won’t forgive, and then use the forgiveness process in a way that doesn’t make us feel like we’re betraying our own emotions and giving someone else a free pass for their bad behavior.

Here are 5 reasons why forgiveness is so hard, and then I’ll tell you how you can forgive with grace and ease and feel like a winner.

1. We want validation of our emotions and our pain from the person who was responsible for creating it. We all feel this way, no matter who we are or how spiritually enlightened we are. When someone does something that requires us to consider forgiveness, it involves inconsiderate, mean, rude, or otherwise bad behavior. And we want them to admit that they caused us pain. Of course we probably won’t get it but that doesn’t mean we don’t want it.

2. Our anger empowers us and becomes our purpose. Anger may be limiting in some ways but it is empowering in other ways and if we’re angry enough about something we can use that anger to move forward to prove someone wrong. Who doesn’t remember the scene in the movie Gone with the Wind where Scarlett O’Hara vows that she ‘will never be hungry again’ or in the movie The Mirror Has Two Faces, where Barbara Streisand’s character uses her anger at being rejected by her husband to lose weight and create a new image? Anger can a powerful motivating tool that we can use to show someone that we’re going to succeed in spite of what they have done to us or to keep us locked into victim mode to compel acknowledgement of our pain. And if we forgive them we have to let go of our anger and we lose access to it as a source of power.

3. We grieve the unfulfilled expectations that are now lost forever. Every relationship has some level of expectations connected to it, which is what we use to create our plans and map out the future we believe we have with this relationship. And the more expectations we have, the more we suffer the blow back when the relationship ends. Can we forgive someone for destroying our carefully made future plans and projects? What do we use to fill in the gap that is left when our expectations aren’t realized?

4. We cannot accept that someone’s behavior towards us is actually aligned with who they are and we take it personally. We cannot forgive them, in the context of forgiveness as a process of release and the completion and closure that goes along with it, because we believe that it is about us when it is not, it is about that person.

We also do not acknowledge that our light and energy are what compels people to reject us. It simply does not occur to us that there is a mismatch in our energetic frequency that makes someone so uncomfortable that they will engage in behavior that forces a separation. Our intentions are good, noble, and are in their best interests. We want them to see the light, to be happier, to have more joy, and to expand into the potential that we see in them and that we believe is right and best for them. While it is a wonderful gift to hold

5. We think we have to forgive everything without any benefit to us and mistake the term forgiveness for excusing bad behavior as though it did not exist or the situation did not happen. Then we have to allow that person or situation to victimize us again.Because the process of forgiveness is defined in such a general way, implying that we should just let everything go and ‘forgive and forget’, we think that by giving forgiveness we become the victim of something we have no control over, now or in the future. It’s like an endless replay of the movie Ground Hog Day, where we never get out of the victim cycle, we never get the respect we want and deserve, and we are subject to behavior and abuse that never ends.

Unless we view forgiveness in a different way, it is rather unappealing and disempowering. No wonder it is so hard for us to see it as empowering and beneficial for us.

Everyone has a situation in their life, whether it is happening now or has happened in the past, that they feel was unfair, mean, rude, or abusive, And the energy echoes of that situation stay with us, even if we forgive. We do not forget anything. And to force us into that just goes against the way our mind works.

But if we view forgiveness differently, in a way that does empower us, we can see it as a step on our path to empowerment, breaking free of a limiting and painful past and take control over our relationships and our life.

November 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 1 Nov 2021 21:43:00 +0000

If you have not figured out by now that this is a critically important year in the history of humanity then you have been on vacation off planet all year. In a year whose main theme was energetic sovereignty we certainly got our lessons in what that means, probably not as we imagined it would happen. Is this really the ascension process and are we going to make it? The answer to those questions is yes and yes and we have some interesting things happening this month as well as some carryover from last month.

November ushers in the 7 energy (1 + 1 + 2021) which is the number of spirituality, introspection, higher thought, and awareness. October was a 6 energy which brought in energy from the Descension process (heaven to earth) and with a 7 vibe in November we get to think about how we’re going to use that energy and what it means to us. This is going to tie into the energy of November rather well, providing us with an energy toolbox to make more enlightened, intentional, and aware decisions and choices we are faced with after the chaos of October. More on that later in this article/podcast.

The biggest news of the month, even bigger than the eclipses, is that November 1 begins with Mars at 0 Scorpio, entering into its sign of historical rulership. Before Pluto was discovered in 1930 Mars was the designated ruler of Scorpio. If you remember from the October 2021 Energy Report, the October 20 full moon was at 27 Aries, which was the degree and sign of Mars on January 1, 2021. Mars is highly significant this year and its movements offer a lot of insight into what is happening around us. Everything is significant now and everything is connected, so we can’t disregard any of the clues and signs that point us in the direction of achievement and success on this journey.

Pluto was assigned rulership of Scorpio at the beginning of the atomic age, in the early 1930s. While the atomic bomb wasn’t dropped until 1945, there was already early work being done in the area of nuclear science in the 1930s. And I know this because the man who wrote the book ‘The Making of the Atomic Bomb’, Richard Rhodes, was my neighbor in Kansas City and he hired me to transcribe the interviews he did of all of the scientists who were involved in the Manhattan Project and earlier nuclear projects. I got quite an education about the history of the nuclear movement by transcribing hundreds of hours of interviews at my kitchen table in 1983.

Hold on Or Release

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 03:27:01 +0000

We are living in challenging, confusing, and troubling times, on a personal and on a global scale and portals for transformation are opening in every direction. On a personal level we can feel like we are being forced to accept and adopt changes that we are not ready for and maybe didn’t want. Our resistance to change can be high and sometimes we refuse it entirely.

It’s not a character flaw to want to maintain the status quo but rather than looking at what we are not moving towards, I think it is more beneficial to look at what we are trying to hold on to and why, rather than blame, shame, criticize, and judge ourselves for not being able to release it.

Why do we hang onto something even if we know it isn’t useful, helpful, or know that the situation or person is not going to change? And we will go so far as to sabotage ourselves if we venture too far away from the status quo, doing anything to avoid change.

Whether we open that portal to change or it is opened for us because a situation ends or someone decides they are ready to move on, our resistance to change can surprise us. We can become very feisty when we feel we’re backed into a corner and we are convinced that we need to hang on to what we have even though it is not working for us, we aren’t happy, and we don’t see a future in it.

There is no way we can explore the benefits of transformation if we believe we are not willing or ready to make changes. And contrary to opinion, everything we hang on to does serve us, it just doesn’t serve us in ways that help us move forward. Instead, it serves our need to be validated, vindicated, to be right, to be acknowledged, to not lose, and to avoid failure.

The Perception of Perfection

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 23:03:10 +0000

I don’t like tomatoes, everyone knows that. But I can admire the beautiful, perfect symmetry and rich red color of a ripe tomato. I think that heirloom varieties are beautiful and perfect too, like yellow and red striped tomatoes, or my favorite Cherokee purples. While I think they look perfect, they are not my favorite food so I would not call a plate of tomatoes that I would be expected to eat, a perfect meal. But I can agree that they are perfect. So what is perfect and what is perfection and how do we relate to it?

I think it is as hard to wrap our heads around the concept of perfectionism as it is to accept acceptance. It requires a form of emotional distancing and discretion that is hard to embody especially when you’re talking about superlatives, things you feel very strongly about. When you say something is perfect, to you it embodies the highest achievement you believe is possible. Perfection implies, well, perfection. It says to the world that there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and it is as good as something can get. Until it isn’t perfect any more.

What happened to perfection when it is no longer perfect? Was it ever perfect? Were we wrong?

Nothing happens to perfection, it is just that our perception of perfection changes and shifts all the time. We think perfection is permanent but it isn’t, and we just have to acknowledge that and allow for shifts in perfection that accompany our own shifts in perception.

October 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 4 Oct 2021 22:20:08 +0000

Can you believe it’s October and the year is nearly over. Like 2020, this year has been marked with dis-integration, chaos, and ‘things that make you go hmmmm’. These are dark times indeed but they are surrounded by an increasing amount of light and the delays and blocks of the last 6 months will finally give way to new movement, some of it surprising, as we enter a new month that promises more stability, truth, and energetic support for our continuing ascension journey. October’s theme is onward and upward with balance, truth, justice, and integrity.

Just the numerology of October is a welcome change from last month. We move from the unbalanced, open ended 5 of September 2021 to the descension energy of the 6 of October 2021 (10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 15, 1 + 5 = 6). When did we have another 6 month this year? In January, when this new adventure began. October comes full circle from what began in January as cycles close and we have opportunities to advance in new directions. Not with the baggage of the past, that has to go and this month, and we are ready to release it.

As I write this I am noticing that my computer works faster and its hard drive is much cleaner as over the weekend I deleted hundreds of old files that I have been keeping for years. I didn’t need them, they were just taking up space, and I wasn’t going to be using them. So they got deleted. I didn’t plan to do this but when I looked up a file that I needed, the great purge began. I had been meaning to do this for months as my hard drive contains a lot of content from the 17+ years I have been writing, teaching, channeling, and sharing messages. I knew those old files needed to go, I jus tnever got around to reviewing the files. But this weekend I did and they are now gone.

That is typical of what happens when a lot of energy moves or we are preparing for another shift in this ascension cycle, we get the urge to purge, to clean out, re-organize, get rid of things, and lighten our load. What we do in our physical space is a mirror of what is happening with us energetically. I have laughingly said that we are going to have the cleanest and most organized houses and closets when this ascension cycle is over, as much cleaning and organizing as we do. This isn’t just happening on the physical level, it is emotional and mental too. So don’t be surprised with what ends or releases itself from you now.

Since late April we have been under the pressure of heavy retrograde energy, starting with Pluto, until now, when all of the outer planets are retrograde. Pluto’s direct motion on October 4 starts the loosening of this energy and this is a big move because Pluto has been the powerhouse of transformation since late 2008, when it first entered Capricorn.

Now if you have been reading my monthly Energy Reports you know that I have been sharing a lot of info about Pluto in Capricorn for the past two years because it has been such an important aspect of what has been going on in the world. In 2020 the infamous Saturn/Pluto conjunction stirred up the chaos we all experienced. Pluto exerts a generational influence because it moves so slowly and while its consequences can be personal, it also has a global impact.

Revenge or Divine Retribution

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 16:40:01 +0000

Do you remember the last time someone hurt you, betrayed you, or you discovered something about them that made you realize they were not your friend, were not on your side, and that their actions were deliberate?

You may want to avenge your honor, make them pay, get revenge, show them how it feels to be treated that way, and get them to acknowledge your pain and then apologize for it.

You want retribution, a punishment that matches the damage and harm they caused you.

You want resolution, to fix the situation and move on, often with them not repeating their behavior.

You want restitution, for them to give you something to make up for what they did and for what you lost.

While you are fully justified in feeling this way and in wanting revenge so that your pain is boomeranged right back to its originator, it’s a waste of your time and energy and it won’t have the effect you want.

No matter how hard you try, how much effort you make, and how noble your efforts are or how well supported they are by the facts, you won’t have any effect on the person who caused your pain. Because they do not care about your pain or about causing you pain.

For two reasons, one because they want to cause you pain and second because your pain is their revenge against you.

Answering the Call to Serve

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 04:41:03 +0000

Our call to serve is not an edict to perform for the universe. It is part of our larger soul mission we came here with and when we get the call, which can arrive in many different ways, it is just an activation of this mission and a sign for us to get started on that path. Now this doesn’t mean we don’t have a choice, we do, to a point. And we can ignore it, deny it, or pretend we are not listening.

We may not be ready at that time, we may need more time to adjust our beliefs to accommodate it, we may think we just are not the right person for the job (as I did) and we need a little more encouragement.

But the main point I want to make is that this call to serve is not random occurrence, it is an invitation to step into more of our power and divinity and start expanding our energy. We already have the gifts, talents, and abilities, we already have the tools we need to do the work. We just need to get started.

But it comes at a cost and I think at a soul level we know that, which is why we resist or deny that it’s time for us to serve. Our call to serve demands faith and trust, in ourselves and in the Universe. We do not get to escape the challenges and trials that others experience. In fact, we often have to experience them ourselves so we can learn compassion and assist those who suffer, who grieve, who are hurt, wounded, and who have lost their way. Uriel always says we teach from what we know, so what we experience becomes our platform for inspiring others.

September 2021 Energy Reort

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 4 Sep 2021 04:47:55 +0000

Well, here we are in the ninth month of the year. Are you tired of the drama yet? If we had not imagined what being a warrior for the light entailed, we are certainly getting an education about it now. From watching the absolute tyranny that is happening in certain countries around the world to the imposition of restrictions we thought we would never see happening in the world again after their disastrous consequences 80 years go, we are living in epic times.

This is the battle between the dark and the light, between good and evil, between the 3D paradigm of domination, control, competition, separation, and tyranny and the 5D paradigm of connection, collaboration, cooperation, creativity, and community. Whew, it has been quite the roller coaster ride and it is not over yet but we are approaching the point of transition and it’s happening this month. And we’re coming full circle from 2012 and 2003, which were also 5 vibration years. The primary energy theme of September is balance and sometimes we need to experience the full spectrum of imbalance or out of balance so we can decide where our balance will be.

September has a double 5 vibration – we’re in a 5 year (2021) and 9 + 5 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5.

We also had this double 5 vibration happening in our previous 5 year, 2012, and the one previous to that, 2003. What happened in those years, especially in 2012? We thought the world was going to end, the Mayan prophecy was going to happen and we’d all be taken away to a much happier, easier place.

Well that didn’t happen and in its place we have had nearly 2 years of absolute tyranny and a state of dystopia that we thought was just a fictitious narrative written by George Orwell.

In September we arrive at the midpoint of the energetic cycle that we began over 18 months ago. Don’t look at the number of months, think of the energy. 5 is the midpoint of the number line where 0 to 5 is the beginning of the journey and 6 to 10 is the end. What did we not know from 0 to 5 that we know now? How will we use this information after we pass the midpoint threshold? That’s the theme of September, achieving the threshold, resolution, restitution, and retribution. I’ll explain those in a minute but first I wanted to review the energy themes of 2021, which I wrote in each month’s energy report.

Choosing with Power Deciding with Confidence

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 22:47:59 +0000

How many times do you struggle with making a choice because you just don’t know what to do or all of the choices seem to be bad choices or you can’t imagine having to live with the choice you are making forever. Surprise! Can I tell you that you may be looking at this all wrong? There is a new and much better way of making choices that gives you freedom and many options and it involves seeing choices and decision making as a process and adds an extra step.

One of the big rewards of our 5D ascension path is more awareness which gives us more options, access to expanded energetic bandwidth, and that opens us to new portals of potential. With so much available to us you would think that we would be thrilled at the prospect of so many choices but we’re not. We get stuck with doubt, fear, guilt at being so blessed, shamed by our good fortune, and one more thing that keep us stuck forever.

The reason we have so much trouble making a choice is that we lump all of our hopes, dreams, solutions, rescue, and transformation on a single choice.

We don’t just want to make the best choice, we want to make the choice that will free us from forever having to make a life altering choice again.

We want to make the choice that is going to solve all of our problems forever.

We want to make the choice that is going to make us happy, free, and successful forever.

We want to make the choice that no one will guilt, shame, judge, or criticize us for.

We want to make the choice that everyone will approve of and will be happy with.

Sometimes we don’t want to make a choice so we delay the process hoping that the choice will make itself.

Or we don’t make a choice because we hope that someone else does something that makes the choice obvious and painless.

And with all of that baggage attached to our choices, we can’t come up with a single choice because there is no choice like that.

Who Or What Controls Your Energy

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 00:45:52 +0000

Before I begin speaking about this topic I want to ask you this. What do you think your energy is?

Is it how you manifest, create, live your life, and how you get motivated.

What if there was another way to define your energy, one that gave it deeper meaning and value to you?

What if you saw yourself as a steward of divine energy and as that steward, it was your job to protect, support, use, and expand it in the best way possible. Would that change how you view your energy?

Keep that in mind as we talk about who or what controls your energy.

If I asked you who controls your energy you would probably say that you do. But is that really true? While you are in control of your energy, as its steward, whoever or whatever has control over it in any moment depends on many factors such as distractions, guilt, shame, past experiences, current fears, and your beliefs about success, deserving, worthiness, and how much you trust yourself.

That is what is in control of your energy and while you may have control in theory, you relinquish your control every time you second guess yourself, limit your options, or doubt your abilities.

You also relinquish control as soon as you allow your guilt to make your choices or your shame group to manipulate your energy

To fully engage in any transformation you have to be in control of your energy and not let distractions, fear, or anything else take over the process of how you focus, direct, channel, and use your energy.

When it comes to your energy, how do you maintain control? What energy tools can you use to ensure that you have access to and control of all of your energy. Now remember this doesn’t mean that people will respect your energy boundaries or accept your decision to be in control of your energy. You will be challenged by people who have been using your energy to power their lives and who do not want you to change that setup. But with strong energy tools in place you will be able to withstand and ignore the challenges that you face whenever you decide to transform your life and shift your energy use methods.

To really be in control of your energy you need tools that will help you be in charge and learn to use your energy to your benefit and for what it was intended, like manifesting, creating miracles, empowering new potentials, becoming more aware, and transforming your life in new ways.

August 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 3 Aug 2021 03:06:50 +0000

Welcome to August, the 8th month of the year and this month is full of surprises and new opportunities to expand our energetic sovereignty. Just remember that this doesn’t mean you can change the world, it means that you can use the energy to change your world. Our life path is created by the interaction of our thoughts, beliefs, actions and intention. If you’re not living a life you love August energy may provide the clarity, confidence, and creativity you need to make course corrections. This month’s themes are energetic sovereignty, venerability, eminence, and majesty. In July we were at the starting line, this month we get to plot our course to the finish line.

August is a month with a 13 and 4 vibration which implies stability, planning, and covering all of the bases. How many bases does a baseball player have to cover after hitting the ball to make a run? Four and all of the bases have to actually be touched on his way around the field, no skipping or it doesn’t count. What does this have to do with August energy? Well, we have a tendency to want to take shortcuts and skip over the hard bits and this isn’t the month to do that. In fact some of the choices we have to make will be the kind we don’t want to think about but we have to do them anyway.

You may be faced with some ‘do over’ choices in August, things you have put off in the past or have avoided until now. These choices often have other consequences, connections, and involve multiple layers of transformation. They ripple out into many areas of our life, some of which we don’t want to have disturbed. But they will be because those are the choices that are creating that stuck, anxious, cloudy, and unsettled feeling.

What types of choices am I talking about? You may think it’s the choice to ‘let go of everything and see what happens’. Not at all. It’s the choice to be free, to live in joy, to have freedom of intention, alignment, and manifestation, to stop trying to make everyone happy, to stop being blocked by your fear of guilt and shame. If you remove those elements from your choices, the choice you want becomes clear and the decision is obvious.

Leverage Fear, Limit the Loss and Transform the Trauma

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 21:11:52 +0000

Fear is a word that we use many different ways, as a noun, a verb, an adjective, and a modifier in how we speak and in how we live. But as you have heard me say often, fear is not a thing. We do not fear ‘fear’, we fear consequences. And those consequences are very real – these things have happened to us but they do not have to keep happening to us and that is why learning to leverage fear is so important now. We can use our fears as stepping stones to greater potential when we learn the value of resistance and the true nature and potential of our fears.

Have you ever been afraid of something that you just cannot explain? Do you find yourself making excuses or making allowances for your fears automatically? Not sure what I am talking about? Here is an example – my fear of the cold in the podcast

Is there something you deliberately avoid for reasons you cannot explain? Do you avoid going near water because you’re afraid of drowning? Here is a somewhat funny but true way this manifests – story of mom and flash floods

Here’s another way fear manifests – as anger you cannot explain or control. Does something ‘set you off’ and drive you ‘round the bend’ in ways that can sometimes embarrass you or make you wonder how you could react that way? I have quite a few examples of that with my clients, listen to the podcast for examples.

So what is going on here? Why are fears so important if everyone tells us they are limiters, we need to get over them, ignore them, pretend they don’t exist, make them the responsibility of the ego, release them, and move on anyway? Fears represent consequences from the past, whether we remember them or not.

Fears are how we warn ourselves of upcoming dangerous situations that put our well being at risk. Fears remind us that we need to be cautious, reconsider, reorganize, reframe a situation, or retreat.

Fears are not bad when used as a lever to lift us out of pain and suffering. But we misunderstand, underestimate, and misuse our fears so they become our controlling influences instead of a stepping stone on our path.

Clarity Truth and Consequences

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 20:34:40 +0000

There is a flow of energy and outcomes that happens once we set out on the clarity path to get knowledge and understanding. We want knowledge because it’s what is going to help us get to the next step and to get unstuck. We want understanding because we want to know why things happen the way they do.

Frankly, I believe that it is our quest for knowledge and understanding that is the reason we get stuck in the first place. Our desire to know why without being willing to follow the clarity – truth – consequences path will always be a revolving door of healing, with frustration, disappointment, and limitations or blocks preventing our progress.

I think we ask for clarity without understanding exactly what that entails and what happens when we do get clarity. As I have written and said before, clarity just makes things clear. It does not solve anything. We want clarity because we want the truth, we want to know what is happening. But is that the truth? No, we don’t really want to know the truth, we want to know why something is happening to us, what others’ motivations are, what is wrong with us and why we are being betrayed, rejected, abandoned, or disrespected in some way.

We want to know why others seem to get what they want and we do not.

We want to know why our mother didn’t love us (I hear this a lot from clients) or loved our sister or brother more.

We want to know why our partner left us, broke our heart, betrayed us, or took advantage of us.

We want to know why our loved ones prefer to live alone in their darkness than to be with us in our light.

We want to know why our sacrifices yield no results except more pain and suffering.

We want to know why Source allows our suffering while we believe that we have been promised a joyful life.

We want to know why we aren’t happy while we’re trying to do everything the right way.

We want to know the ‘why’ of everything because then we will understand our challenges and can figure out how to end them. This will get us unstuck and we can move forward. And we think (and are sometimes told) that clarity is the answer. But that is not quite true.

Ascending Your Destiny

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 8 Jul 2021 22:15:34 +0000

A few weeks ago I shared my thoughts about how our 3D/5D ascension integration compels us to redefine our ‘life purpose’. Instead of a search for purpose, our focus must now become a personal intention for accessing our potential so we are not constantly looking for validation of our being-ness and instead, celebrating our creative power and abilities.

There is another aspect of our 3D life journey that is equally troubling and difficult and that is the topic of destiny, which is described as the fated path our lives will follow and we’re not in control of how that unfolds.

But what if we are.

What if our ability to turn our search for purpose into an alignment with a new potential also includes turning our fated destiny in an ascended process that shifts the destiny path into something more fulfilling and joyful?

Let’s look at the density of destiny and see how we can turn it into something more purposeful, intentional, and aligned with our ascension path into 5D living.

What is our destiny? We know that it is closely aligned with our karma, the ongoing journey of retribution and atonement that we undertake with each lifetime. It is a never ending cycle of I did/you did in our attempt to get others to embrace the light and raise their frequency or to make up for the pain we believe we have caused them.

Within our karmic journey are stories of abandonment, betrayal, unrequited love, unrepentant cruelty, and our desire for validation, vindication, and victory for the light. It is a heroic battle but one that we can never and will never win, as we define winning and victory.

Destiny is our life path; it is the life instructions we are born with which also determines our mother, father, family, and every other aspect of our life at birth. Destiny doesn’t start when we’re 18 years old or when we are born. We make those choices when we choose to be born, the moment our spark of light touches the earth plane.

If we look at our life through the lens of destiny it is a rather depressing and limited perspective. Our life becomes an effort to overcome what we believe we cannot change – the need to atone for what we believe we may have done or vindicate what was done to us without ever moving beyond that as a life purpose.

July 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Fri, 2 Jul 2021 15:20:18 +0000

This is another year where the first half of the year will be different from the second half and we’re entering the second half now. If you feel like everything is a struggle right now, that’s because it is. The ‘dark side’ has been in control for a long time and it will not give up without a fight but that cannot deter us from forging onward and upward. Remember energy expansion is not linear, it is spherical. It expands in all directions which is why linear progress is not always obvious. Look in all directions to see where the light is shining brightly and transformation is occurring.

Nothing can stop the 3D/5D ascension integration and the light we carry from reaching even the darkest corners as the collective frequency and vibration continues to rise as humanity awakens to its divinity and the fulfillment of our 2021 mission, claiming our energetic sovereignty.

And whether your personal fight against the density of darkness is a critical family, disapproving children, friends who no longer speak to you or your own hesitation, anxiety, and doubt, July is a clarion call to bold action and strong confidence. So let’s take it beyond the limits and see how high we can soar.

July moves us out of the 11 spiritual initiation vibration of June to the 3 vibration (7 2015) which is a highly creative and less difficult frequency. Yes 11 is a master number but mastery numbers are full of lessons, challenges, and difficult choices. We can no longer coast between the temptation to become ‘more ready’ and to do more healing and urge to break free of our limitations and fears. All we need is an intention and an action plan because it’s time to start our engines and burn rubber – leave tracks as you jump out of the starting gate.

This month’s themes are rigor, resolution, and re-orientation and we’re going to apply them to our forward movement so we are moving in a forward direction with clarity, confidence, and congruence and without the questions about our worthiness or need for approval, acknowledgement, and validation.

Rigor refers to the discipline to stay on our ascension path and follow the call of our soul mission for divine congruence, joy, and harmonious fulfillment.

Resolution refers to the true aim of healing, completion and closure with the finality of knowing that our truth always leads us in the right and best direction. Every relationship is not destined to lead to joyful fulfillment and endings are always a consideration.

Re-orientation refers to our ability to plot a new course for joy as we use acceptance to maintain our energetic integrity. The need for security and stability can keep us mired in ruts of fear and when we realize that we can make course corrections without regret, guilt, or shame.

The Energy Burden of Purpose

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 21:50:00 +0000

I cringe when I hear the phrase ‘find your purpose’ or when someone asks me to tell them what their life purpose is. I cringe because I know why they are asking that question and that it is causing them a lot of grief. To seek purpose is a burden on us because it implies that we are not doing things right, following the right path, and we’re wasting our time and energy. We are working as hard as we can and not getting any results or joy. There is no purpose other than whatever we are doing right now and it’s much more fulfilling and potential focused to think about our mission, rather than our purpose.

What is your life purpose? Have you ever asked yourself that question, especially when you’re feeling a little depressed, unfulfilled, and unhappy? We generally worry about our life purpose when we feel less than purposeful, we are not happy with our lives or satisfied with our progress. We may even feel we aren’t making any progress at all, so we want to explore our purpose because if we were doing the right and best thing we would not feel this way.

When we look at purpose in this way we are really referring to a life definition, a meaning, validation, and a justification. We want a better definition of how our gifts, talents, and abilities fit together to create joy and since we are not finding it in the present moment.

We want validation of who we are and what we are doing and that it is being recognized, appreciated, and getting some kind of result.

We want to feel worthy, valuable, and meaningful. A quest for purpose is a quest for meaning in the context of how we matter in the world.

But when we ask the purpose question we are not just questioning our purpose, we are questioning our very being.

June 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 1 Jun 2021 03:59:05 +0000

We start June with a lot of carryover energy from May. We have a number of important retrogrades, strong spiritual support, and we are at the halfway point between two powerful eclipses. That may sound like an omen of doom and gloom but it isn’t because in June we can rebuild from the ‘mayhem, mastery, and miracles’ of May. June’s energy themes include resets, upsets, reversals, and resurgence. And if you remember that one of the main themes of 2021 is energetic sovereignty (link to gps2021 program) as I described in my gps2021 predictions, you have foundation for understand the bigger picture of what is happening this year.

The 5Cs of 5D

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 26 May 2021 03:07:53 +0000

To fully understand the 3D/5D ascension integration process we have to rethink what so many people wrongly said about ascension. It’s not a leap into lala land where everything glitters with fairy dust and unicorns dance in the streets.

If you have been part of this process for the last 15 to 20 years, you know this isn’t so. It has been some of the most challenging, grueling, painful periods in our life. But it does get better when we understand the 5D energies and how they are being integrated into 3D. Remember as I always say, ascension is an integration, not a takeover. It’s called creating ‘heaven on earth’, not destroying earth so heaven can take over.

Let's look at the 3D energies that we are integrating light into:

The dominant energies of 3D are

competition – being the best, having the most
control – being the one who holds all of the energy
power over – telling people what to do, having dominion over people with no energetic sovereignty
domination – Being the strongest and using that power to control others
greed – the idea that abundance is limited and one person or group should have it all
singularity – the cult of ‘me’ being the most important, being disconnected from Source and spirit
win/lose – there can only be one winner and everyone else loses.

The dominant energies of 5D are what I call the 5Cs of 5D

Community – The co-existence of the individual within the group, the collective of humanity
Connection – the inter-relatedness of all things with light and energy
Collaboration –working together on a shared ascension goal –
Creativity – energetic sovereignty and self awareness
Cooperation – recognizing the value of everyone’s gifts and talents that play an important part in the ascension cycle

These are our guidelines for how we will process ascension energy in our lives. The full article is available on the blog at https://enlighteninglife.com/5c5d

You Are Not Responsible for Other's Expectations

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 12 May 2021 23:56:32 +0000

What are expectations? They are the anticipated behaviors that you or someone else thinks will happen in a situation.

We have expectations of others just as they have expectations of us.

From our standpoint, we expect certain behaviors from people depending on who they are in our lives and what we want from them. From the labels they have, such as mother, father, sister, brother, partner, friend, we create a set of expectations. And when those expectations are not met we feel betrayed, disappointed, and rejected, depending on the situation.

What about others’ expectations of us? They expect certain behaviors of us too, depending on their relationship with us and what they want from us. And if we do not meet their expectations they feel betrayed, abandoned, and rejected.

Can you see a pattern here?

Energy Divorce and Energy Boundaries

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 19:25:39 +0000

Now we are not forced to do anything by the Universe but when the energy moves as quickly and as much as it is right now, we can get a definite shove into taking care of our energy misalignment, misuse, or under utilization. And this is one of those times when we can explore the potential that an energetic housecleaning is necessary and maybe even consider an energy divorce.

Is it Time for an Energy Divorce?

We all have relationships and life situations, past or present, where there is a definite energy misalignment between us and someone or something.

You know what I’m talking about, those situations where you give and give and give and wait for a return on your investment.

Or where you have high expectations of someone or something, you invest 100% of your time, energy, and effort, and nothing happens.

Or where you take a stand for someone until they can use their own energy resources and they never seem to take that initiative.

We have a decision to make here – we’re either going to continue providing energy in this situation or we’re going to get an energy divorce.

It is very noble to act as others’ healers but it does come to a point where we need to look at the investment of our time, effort, and energy and the ROI (return on investment) we’re receiving and we come to a crossroads – something has to change because we can no longer continue to leak energy, drain our resources, and give to a situation that doesn’t give back to us.

The Clue Phone is Ringing for You

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 01:55:11 +0000

I remember the many times the Universe has tried to prevent me from doing something that I wanted to do anyway. No matter how many obstacles were put in my path I forged ahead, determined to succeed at all costs. And I paid the price in time, energy, and heartache.

Why did I not see the clues I was receiving for what they were, warnings that the path I was on was not the best one for me, that it was not aligned with the outcomes I wanted in my life?

What made me forge ahead with my plans, determined to plow through whatever obstacles were in my way, no matter what it took (and sometimes it took a lot)!

The clue phone rings often in my life and I don’t pick up because I don’t want to hear the messages, but I have learned to listen and then wait for more information because the clue phone always tells me exactly what I need to hear.

I think that being an Aries has something to do with it — I can be very stubborn and keep fighting until the bitter end, but there is also an element of fear present in my unwillingness to abandon my obsessions.

What if there was nothing else beyond what I saw as my only option? If this didn’t work I would have to start over again and I had invested way too much time, energy, and effort in this particular outcome to give up before I got what I wanted (sound familiar?).

So when the clue phone starts ringing, in the form of events, situations, signs, and hints from every direction, asking me to look in another direction, I just pretend to be deaf and blind and ignore them.

One situation stands out in my mind as a great example of this. I wanted to work for a company and had managed to contact the CEO and get an interview. This was a leading edge technology company I admired and respected and I really wanted this job.

A few weeks later I had the interview with the CEO and the department head I would be working with. I just knew that my strong technical background, years of software research, development, implementation, and troubleshooting experience and great project management skills would be an asset to the company. I had a strong resume and great experience, what else did I need?

The CEO was impressed but the other man was a little nervous because I was more experienced and qualified than he was. I noticed he kept looking at me and I could tell that he was very uncomfortable with my presence. (Clue number 1)

Intuitively, I could feel his discomfort and I knew this was going to be a problem as I had faced this situation before. Even though I didn’t want his job, he probably wasn’t convinced and the tech industry is extremely competitive.

But since I had impressed the CEO, I was sure I had the job. So I kept in contact and waited for the offer letter. Meanwhile, I got several other interview offers but turned them down because I knew that I was going to get this job. When I called the department head’s office he was never around and he never returned my phone calls (Clue number 2).

Then I called the CEO and he said it was out of his hands, it was up to the department head (so the CEO wasn’t going to support me, Clue number 3). This was going to be a problem because the CEO who had offered me the job initially was now obviously not going to override the opinion or choice of the man who was already nervous about me and I had not even started yet and he would not talk to me.

I had some software that this company produced and one day, a month after my interview and after making another call to the company to find out when I would be receiving the offer letter, I opened my desk drawer to get the product CD and it had broken in half. How that happened is a mystery because I always kept the CD in that drawer, along with others and it was the only one that was broken. (Clue number 4). Do you know much force it takes to break a CD in half? I tried one, it was not easy.

So I called the company, which was located in my city, to ask for a replacement and they said I could stop by to get one. I drove to the office and walked up to the door, waved to the receptionist and pulled on the handle when I heard the buzzer. But the door would not open. The receptionist tried to buzz me in a few times but the door was stuck shut. Finally she got up to open the door for me and it wouldn’t open for her either (Clue number 5).

I was trying to pull it open from the outside, she was pushing it from the inside and it just wouldn’t open. After several tries (she said that had never happened before) the door finally opened, I got my CD and went home. The message was clear, the door to that job was stuck shut and I needed to look elsewhere.

It had only taken me a month, several dozen phone calls, a lot of frustration and passing up some other opportunities that may have been better options but I gave them a miss because I thought that this job was mine. To be honest, I wanted it to be mine – it was my dream job (or so I thought).

The clue phone had been ringing loudly but I wasn’t listening. I wanted that job and did everything I could to get it. The clue phone is the Universe’s way of letting us know that what we are pursuing is not the best path for us. But since it often happens when we are in a situation where we feel that we have limited options or really want what we’re pursuing, we see the clue phone as another block in our path.

Or we have put a lot of time, energy, and effort into a situation and we are not going to give up until we get the outcome we want. We’re being driven by our expectations, ego, and sense of righteousness and we want to win, even if the price of winning is very high. When we’re in those situations we can be blinded by our desire to be validated, vindicated, and victorious.

This is now an ROI situation – we want the return on our investment and nothing is going to stop us. It’s not just our energy, time, and effort that are at stake, but our worthiness, self worth, and self esteem. If we’re such a great person and a great manifestor, then surely we can manifest whatever we want. And we can when the entire situation is in our highest and best good. This means that every part of that situation, including the things we are not yet aware of, have to be able to deliver on our intention for peace, joy, love, abundance, and prosperity.

The clue phone isn’t trying to block us, it is trying to tell us that there is no synergy in our intention and what we’re trying to push towards our reality even though it looks like there is on the surface. And until we answer and acknowledge these truths, many things will stop us because we’re going to continue to go around in a circle of trying, acting, doing, pushing, pulling, and manipulating the situation until we get it to fit into the mold that we have created for it.

The clue phone’s purpose is to get us to change our focus, to move in another direction, and to let go of our will and surrender to the process. How can we surrender when we need a job, want that relationship, have our heart set on what we’re pursuing, or think that it’s the most wonderful thing possible? We have to answer the clue phone and hear the messages it has for us.

And then have the humility to surrender to a different potential. Then we can let go of what we are pursuing so hard (that’s a huge clue, when we want something so much we will do anything to get it) and see what is beyond its horizon. When we’re focused on a particular outcome we get tunnel vision and become oblivious to everything else. Our perspective is gone, as is our ability to question whether this is the right and best option for us.

The louder the clue phone rings, the more we resist opening up to the messages that we really need to hear. Then we feel blocked and stuck and have two choices, to push ahead or to stop and wait for more information.

Can we let go of this dream and trust that another will take its place? That’s hard to do but if the clue phone is ringing, it has a message for us that contains another option. And it’s in our best interest to pick up.

Is the clue phone ringing in your life? What messages does it have for you that you don’t want to hear?

Can you take a chance that they will be the right and best options for you, even if that means you have to let go of what you have your heart set on and let the universe bring something else to you?

So what happened to my dream job? I know people who work at the company and someone else got it, for a while. They quit because that Sr. VP was so hard to work for. In fact, a dozen people have had the job and none of them stays for very long although the Sr. VP is still there. Even the CEO has been replaced and the company was bought out a few years ago.

What happened to me after I finally gave up my determination to get that job? Well, the universe had a few surprises for me. In spite of my excellent resume and experience, the only job I could find was to read tarot cards in a metaphysical book store.

It was the deep end of the pool experience I needed to get me started on the path of doing what I do now, sharing spiritual insights, becoming confident in my intuitive abilities, becoming a channel, being a leader in the self awareness movement, teaching energy congruence and energetic sovereignty. I look back and realize that it was the most perfect path even though at the time I was deeply disappointed that my dream job was not going to manifest for me even though I tried very hard to make it work.

Sometimes what we are offered is so far off from what we believe is right and best for us that we think the universe has lost its mind. If this has happened to you, you know how frustrating it is.

It might not be what you want to do but if you open yourself to other possibilities, you may be surprised at what can happen.In these interesting and transformational times, we can be overwhelmed by what is happening in our lives but there are always other solutions. Here are a few things to help you get through the difficult moments in your life: Stay calm, focused, detached and aware and remember your thoughts are creating every moment of your life. Think the best ones.

As you ponder this and the other things that are happening at this time remember to:
Accept all gifts of understanding with gratitude and use them to apply forgiveness, release, and healing to every situation
surrender means to stop resisting, it does not mean to give up. sometimes surrender is the hardest option but the it is often the wisest one, especially when the clue phone is ringing off the hook
Ask for guidance and confirmation and then wait for it to come to you.

Above all, be grateful for this opportunity to be part of humanity’s amazing 3D/5D Ascension integration and moving into divine congruence and Self/self awareness as we all ascend into the miracle vibration and continue down the 3D/5D integration ascension highway.

April 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 7 Apr 2021 16:35:50 +0000

It feels like I just wrote the March Energy Report and we’re starting a new month. I’m kidding, March was a long month that never seemed to end. Challenging times always seem to drag on and we have seen quite a few in the past few years. But cheer up, April is a new vibe and we have some rare supportive energy this month that should put a smile on everyone’s face, especially those who have been waiting for the Go sign to start moving forward.

April’s themes are ACTion, alignment, and renewal. This month we are encouraged to take action and with so much fiery Aries energy you might think that it is the busting out of the gate and doing as much as possible quickly kind of action. But this is a highly unusual month with the kinds of energy aspects we don’t see very often. It’s spring and that typically means new growth, gardening, tulips and daffodils, and a chance to re-emerge from the dark, cold days of winter.

Spring represents renewal, rebirth, re-emergence, re-awakening, and re-starts as we watch nature awaken to its annual cycle of growth. Last month I shared a photo of the beautiful white Bradford pear trees in full bloom and now they are all covered with green leaves. My garden is awakening as the plants that were dormant in the winter are now rising to greet the sun and warmer temperatures.

And we’re doing the same as we move away from the drab, cold, dark days of winter into the warmth and vibrancy of spring ( in the northern hemisphere). But there is a new vibe to the energy this month that is going to springboard us into a fresh start and it begins on April 4 and ends on the 15th.

I have been writing about the April 11 new moon with some excitement because it comes with a rare bonus – all of the personal planets are in Aries, along with some of important asteroids like Ceres and Chiron.

Some might point out that Mars is not in Aries and it isn’t but it is in Gemini and Gemini’s ruler Mercury is in Aries so these two planets are in mutual reception – they are in each other’s signs. So Mars is supporting this new moon that is going to be a powerful motivating force for action.

But there is another aspect to this new moon and all of its support which is like an energy potluck, where each planet brings something to the table for everyone to enjoy.

The Sun and Moon are called the two ‘lights’ of the sky, Mercury adds communication, karmic healing, and movement; Venus adds beauty, balance, and joy, Mars, from its Gemini placement, adds thoughtful action and karmic endings, Chiron adds healing, and Ceres adds the energy of growth, fertility, and abundance. Add a supportive aspect from benevolent Jupiter and we have a new moon period that not even cranky Pluto can disrupt.

Usually when people think of Aries they see bold, brash energy that is quick to move and slow to finish. Aries are known for being the pioneers but they are not much for detail or the fine finish work. But with this new moon the Aries energy is strongly supported by a lot of other energies that can fine tune the rough edges and create a path of considered, intentional, inspired action that does pay attention to detail and has a firm grasp on its intention and energy boundaries.

Think of this month’s energy like a potluck dinner – everyone brings something to the table and there is a variety of energy that everyone can use and find useful.

This will come as a relief to everyone who has been struggling with the strong Saturn/Pluto conjunction of 2020 and the ongoing Saturn/Uranus square of 2021 which has been a roller coaster of energy ups and downs. It has taken a lot of faith and trust to get through these past few years and that kind of commitment always gets rewarded – eventually. Now it’s time to claim our reward.

The 9 energy of April 2021 is not an ending, it is the beginnings that arise from endings and the endings that give birth to beginnings. Think of how the number 9 is written, with a 1 and a 0, this is the alpha and the omega, the circle of completion that means a cycle has been concluded and it is time to begin a new cycle – not in the same place, but from a new level of energy.

I have written that we transcend into ascension, it is not a big leap from one place of being to another. There is a process of crossing over – that’s the 4D bridge – from one state of being to another and that is transcension. The entire process can be short or long, depending on our own lessons and how we respond to energy but it is a journey across, not a leap from one place to another. While we would like for it to be that way, that is not how it happens.

There is always an exchange of energy with ascension – the transcension bridge is a toll bridge – we have to be willing to give something up in order to cross it. That could be a belief, a limitation, a fear, our guilt and shame, a Portal Keeper role, our Martyred Healer karmic contracts – we must be willing to release whatever has been holding us back until this moment in order to transcend into the next one. And if we’re not willing to do that, it’s OK, we will always have another chance and another time to choose.

What is beginning for you and what has ended to allow that beginning to occur? Are you ready to make that choice or not? If you say no, do not feel bad. You will have another chance to choose at another time.

Next we have to look at what we’re going to do with all of this energy because it is good for manifesting miracles. If you follow me on Facebook you will have heard about my miracle manifestations over Easter weekend – one is how I got my front and back yard mowed by ‘a husband’ and the other is how I got my huge day lily bed dug up and gave away dozens of plants to my neighbors.

I was happy to give the plants away and as with these situations, you see the good and the bad side of people. Some people took one bag, some took many and one unfortunate person who thought they were going to get all of the day lilies took 6 bags from my front yard got a bad surprise when they realized it was the grass clippings and yard waste I had put out for the trash pickup on Monday. You will hear more about this weekend’s miracle stories on the podcast.

What are we going to do with all of this miracle energy? What do we manifest after so many months (and years) of going through tough times and just wishing they were over?Where do we start and how do we get started?

With so many options and so much potential we can get confused at how to make a choice and we do nothing. We get bogged down in trying to make the right choice, the best choice, the choice everyone loves and supports, the choice that takes care of everyone’s needs because we do not want to be selfish, self centered, to take too much for ourselves, and to deprive others of the opportunities that we think should be theirs to participate in.

One of the energy themes of 2021 is Energetic Sovereignty, which is the authority over our own energy. That applies to us and it applies to everyone else. We must recognize others’ energetic sovereignty and their ability to choose what is right and best for them no matter how terrible we think their decisions are. It is part of our energetic sovereignty to stay out of judgment and criticism because those are energies which limit the flow of our own energy. Everyone gets to make their own choices – remember that as it will make the rest of 2021 so much easier and less complicated.

The period from the March 13 new moon in Pisces to the April 12 new moon in Aries is one of completion and endings which you may be feeling right now. It may not be a joyful time; it may be frustrating and upsetting to think that those things that you have invested so much time, energy, and effort into are not turning out as you wanted. But are they turning out as they can, should, or need to?

Remember we have no idea what someone else’s soul mission is and we do ourselves a huge disservice by making judgments about their choices. We are not privy to the details of these soul agreements with Source and it is not our place to judge them.

Between April 22 and 25 look for another energy boost and the full moon on the 27th supports that through the end of the month. This is another month where all of he planets are in direct motion until Pluto turns retro on April 27, so take ACTion and create some momentum by setting some intentions and letting the Universe support you and your miracles. If I can get ‘a husband’ to mow my front and back yard, you can do anything your own heart desires.

It’s a great month for blessings, action, and miracles so set your intention, use your energy boundaries, and see what you can co-create with the Universe as your partner.

The Price and Cost of Transformation

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 21:48:19 +0000

Have you ever been in that ‘I’m so done with this’ space and you are ready to embark on a full out healing journey, doing a drastic energetic house cleaning, toss out everything that you aren’t resonating with, and moving into a new paradigm? You want to be happy, feel good, have no more problems and you’re willing to go all the way to achieve it?

I have been there before and occasionally I have done that but always regretted it later because in my haste to get rid of everything, I didn’t consider what I was getting rid of and whether it was a momentary thing or something I really needed to give more thought. There was a price I was willing to pay but I didn’t consider the full cost of my actions and I couldn’t – I was so ready to get out of the pain space that I thought I was ready to go full scorched earth to get there.

And in that moment I was, it was after the dust had settled that I had to consider what it was going to take to get my life back together and back to normal.

And the problem with acting too hastily is that we don’t have a clean release so these things start creeping back into our lives.

But what’s more important is the price we must pay and the cost we must bear of our healing journey. It isn’t without some degree of discomfort and regret and anyone who doesn’t tell you that or prepare you for it is doing you a huge disservice.

Unlike other spiritual teachers and mentors, I don’t paint a rosy picture of the healing journey. While it can have a fantastic outcome, the process is often less than rosy and it can be quite uncomfortable. Because there is a price for healing – which is the actions we must take, and a cost we must bear – which is what we’re willing to get rid of, to arrive at the healing outcome we want.

And while we tend to look at the price and cost in terms of others, the real price and cost are at an inner level, the things that we must transform in ourselves, to arrive at our destination.

Let’s look at price and cost in terms of our outer transformation because this is where we see the proof of our willingness to transform, right? While the transformation is reflected there, unless there is an equal amount of effort and attention given to our inner landscape, the outer transformation won’t last too long because it is a reflection of our inner selves.

Our outer transformation is usually the product of what I call ‘false congruence’ when we haven’t done the inner transformation work. It’s a reality that is pieced together with sticky tape and twine, consisting of anything we can attract that will prove to us that we are lovable, deserving, worthy, and can have what we so desperately want and are secretly afraid that we will never have or be able to get.

I see this so often in clients who say they want to change, they want something new, and they’re willing to jump in with both feet, without giving the inner work any consideration. That’s the hard part – the outer transformation is easy. Change the cushions, slap on a coat of paint and a fixer upper becomes the next big real estate success. But if the foundation is cracked, the walls have termites, and there is mold everywhere, you just covered up a real estate disaster that will become a money pit of problems for the new owners.

One client came to me for relationship help. She was tired of dating men who didn’t make her happy, who were selfish and inconsiderate, who didn’t meet her needs, and wanted to transform that. I suggested we coach through my Raise your Love Vibes program but all she wanted to know was when the next person was coming around. Over the next 5 years she would call me for advice about her next ‘new partner’ and I would always tell her the same thing, it will last 6-9 months then you’ll be hurt and disappointed and it would end.

She got so angry she quit calling me although she knew I was right because every relationship ended the same way. Then one day I got a tearful call asking for my help after her 11th (yes 11th) relationship had died a painful death. She was now ready to do the inner work.

In her mind, the price of a new relationship meant being willing to take another risk on getting her heart broken, which she did. But she was not willing to pay the cost, which was being alone with herself until she understood why she was attracting such miserable relationships.

But the real cost was to do her own healing work so she stopped attracting the same kind of person over and over again. Until she was willing to pay the cost to have the relationship she said she wanted, she would never get it.

Let’s look at another example of price and cost – parents will relate to this.

My youngest son wanted to move out of the house, to have freedom, to be on his own, never have to clean his room or make his bed, stay out as late as he wanted. He eventually moved out and then a week later I got a phone call from him saying that his refrigerator was empty. I told him he had to go to the grocery store to buy more food.

But, he said, the refrigerator at home was never empty. I said that’s because every Saturday morning while you were asleep I went to the store and by the time you got up I had put the groceries away.

There was a long pause and than an ‘oh’. Would you go to the grocery store with me, he asked? I did and as he lived on his own longer he realized that there was a price he had to pay for his freedom lifestyle – actions he had to take – and a cost to bear, he had to take responsibility for the many details of his life that he never realized I had been doing for him.

What is the price you have to be wiling to pay for your transformation and outcome? Is it to take action even though you are afraid? Is it to allow yourself to have clarity about your needs, your limitations, and your energy burdens so you can heal and release them? Is it to acknowledge that some things in your life are not worth your time and energy or that certain people will never be or become what you want or need them to be?

With my children I used to call this the price of being an adult, taking responsibility for yourself. It’s also a commitment to your own transformation, being wiling to do what it takes to get there.

What is the cost you have to be willing to take on for your transformation? To overcome a fear, release a burden, heal traumas like guilt and shame, to take some action you have avoided for a long time?

Maybe it is to stop using your pain, trauma, and whatever happened to you when you were 5 years old as a crutch or an excuse to continue in your comfort zone.

Maybe it is to release your unconscious beliefs that you are not good, perfect, gifted, talented, or educated enough to succeed.

Maybe it is to release your fears of success to allow yourself to define your own definition of success (because that is different for everyone).

Maybe it is to look at how you have pieced together a reality that is so shaky and unstable that it falls apart and has to be put back together on a regular basis. Let me give you an example of my car light.

Every journey of transformation has a price and a cost as we do our inner and our outer healing work. And I use healing to describe one part of this 3 part process because healing just means you stop energy leaks and drains, you stop scattering your energy and you bring it to a place where you’re whole, you can actually face your problems and see them with clarity and understanding.

That is wholeness and now we move into part 3 which is congruence – but this is true congruence. Not just putting any random thing together and holding it up with sticky tape and twine so it works while we pray it doesn’t fall apart. But real congruence where there is fit, flow, and harmony, where everything works together, there is energetic resonance and things flow with grace and ease.

We can have all of that and more, when we are willing to do pay the price and the cost we are willing to bear, the inner and outer transformation we are willing to do, to have the rich, happy, and successful life that we want, one that radiates congruent harmony and flows with grace and ease.

Stop or Quit? How to Let Go With Empowered Dignity

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 18:46:02 +0000

How do we know when it’s time to stop in a relationship or a situation which we realize is not working out, draining our energy, or, to be blunt, a waste of our time and effort? How can we stop without feeling like we failed or quit without throwing a frustration tantrum?

The key is in knowing the difference between stopping and quitting and using that information to let go with empowered grace.

When is it time to stop in a relationship or situation where we realize we’re just spinning our wheels, wasting our time or worse, being used, abused, or taken advantage of?

In the best of worlds we would stop right away but it’s more complicated than that. The decision to pull back and leave a situation or relationship depends on so many other things:

1. how vested or committed we are to winning

2. when it becomes personal – it’s about you, not about them or the situation

3. how much time and energy we have invested in the relationship

4. what our expectations are

5. what other options we have

6. who we think is watching, waiting for us to fail

7. how many times we think we have failed before

8. how much we want to believe that it is our mission or purpose to succeed in this effort

9. how much potential we believe is in that person or situation and how committed we are to bring it out and make them become what we see in them

OK so how many of you see yourselves in the above list? How many times have you given something ‘one more chance’ because you just know that this time is it and you are going to succeed, to get the outcome you want, that you will change that person and they will be so grateful, that you will become the hero or heroine?

And how many ‘one more chance’ opportunities have to happen before you get discouraged, despondent, disappointed, and realize that no matter how much you try this is simply not going to work out.

So you decide you’re going to quit, hang it up, throw in the towel, and ‘never do that again’. You have lost, failed, not succeeded, missed an opportunity, didn’t prove yourself, etc. AGAIN. And you feel bad about it, you’re ashamed, angry, and feel like a failure.

Is this why it is so hard to stop because we associate it with failure and do we really believe that every single situation must turn out to be some kind of success or have positive potential?

But wait, there is another way to do this and to step away from and let go of a situation with empowered grace and dignity.

There is a way to let go and walk away from these kinds of situations with your head held high, proud of your efforts and equally proud of your ability to know when it’s time to go. As Kenny Rogers sang, ‘you have to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away and know when to run’

How do you walk away or run with empowered grace and dignity? You know the difference between stopping and quitting – one implies control and the other implies shame and powerlessness.

Do you want to guess which is which?

The decision between stopping and quitting can mean the difference between holding your head high because you know you made a powerful decision for yourself or blaming and shaming yourself for not succeeding once again, for failing, for not trying hard enough, for giving up too soon (again), and for being utterly worthless at everything you try to do. Can you add anything else here?

You see when you decide to stop you are making an informed decision to surrender, which doesn’t mean to give up, it means to stop resisting the process. You have looked at the situation from your viewpoint and decided that it is not right for you. You took stock of what you were giving and receiving in return, how much time, energy, and effort was involved and whether the return was adequate.

“I am going to stop now” is a powerful way to step away with grace and dignity, and to have completion and closure with the situation.

The choice to quit is much different. When you quit you give up, you have had enough of the resistance and lack of support and acknowledgement for your efforts and you’re going to show everyone how much it bothers you – you are just going to quit and then let them try to get along without you.

Quitting is a choice you make from a position of weakness, loss of control, and disempowerment. You quit because you feel that you have failed. You quit because you are angry, frustrated, and annoyed with the situation or the person.

Maybe you are even a little passive aggressive because quitting always has a side door attached to it .

Will your very public, usually loud, and dramatic quitting encourage someone to try to get you back?

Will they finally realize how much they need and want you and give you what you want to come back?

Will they finally acknowledge how much you have done and that they cannot live or continue or succeed without you?

When we decide to stop we are in control. When we decide to quit we are trying to look like we’re in control while secretly acknowledging that we are not.

When we decide to stop we have completion and closure, we are finished and cah walk away with empowered dignity.

When we decide to quit we feel incomplete and that we have failed.

Look at how we use the words stop and quit:

I am stopping

I quit

What’s the point of this? The point of this process is to get your energy back, to stop putting your time, effort, and energy into people and situations that offer no return on your investment in them, and to stop blaming and shaming yourself for not being successful in impossible situations where you have no control over the outcome because it depends on what others do.

But instead of quitting in frustration, learn how to make the decision to stop with empowered grace, using the importance of your needs, time, and energy as the basis for your choice, instead of feeling like a failure because you cannot change someone or something.

Learn how to give yourself a way out of impossible, no win, situations by having strong energy boundaries and knowing when to pull your energy back, and to do so with empowered grace and dignity. And when you stop instead of quitting you have completion and closure - you know you have done your best and there is no more benefit to you to put one more ounce of your time, energy, and effort into it.

There is no shame or guilt in deciding to stop because you are implementing your energy boundaries, protecting your interests, and deciding how and where you energy will be used.

This is how you leave a situation with empowered grace and then use the lessons you have learned and integrated to make a different choice next time.

Alignment Abundance and Authenticity - Keys to Joyful Living

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 00:33:57 +0000

Alignment Abundance Authenticity are key areas of spiritual awareness and understanding and we need to get these right be able to use them in the right way, which means that they work in our lives to our benefit instead of to our detriment.

How can these spiritual principles operate to our detriment?

Let me explain:

1. When we do not know how they work all of the time instead of working in ‘good’ ways. Universal energy is non-judgmental, there is no good or bad. It is all neutral or equal, there is no better or worse, more or less.

2. When we make judgments about what these concepts represent rather than understanding them as universal principles and then criticize and judge ourselves for not being able to meet these high universal standards.

3. When we try to skip over steps in our healing and growth process and try to negotiate with the Universe to get ahead or to make our lives better in some way by trying to implement these spiritual principles in the wrong way. For example, thinking that focusing on manifesting a better life will succeed even if we do not believe it is possible for us.

Let’s talk about Alignment

Alignment means things are lined up and working together

We think alignment exists in good ways, we are out of alignment when things are not going so well

The truth is we are always aligned with everything in our life, all of the time

When we want something different we have to create new level of alignment with new energy. Unless we change the energy our alignment keeps moving forward, in the same direction, in the same way.

When we feel stuck we’re out of alignment with our current reality and in the process of bringing in new energy to create a new one, we’re in an energy gap and we’re not aligned with anything, which gives us a feeling of being stuck, can’t move forward, and we’re unsure of what to do next.

The worse thing we can do in this case is to think we have done something wrong or are being punished. We are not, we’re just in an energy gap, in a space between two different levels of alignment

The keys to understanding alignment are:

1. You’re always aligned with everything in your life all of the time. There is no better or worse alignment.

2. When you’re ready for a new level of alignment with new energies nothing feels right or works for you.

3. A new level of alignment is created by setting a new intention for your life and reality and then bringing in the energy to allow it to happen.

4. Surrender to the alignment that is now out of synch with you and prepare for something new to create a new level of alignment.

Stop judging and criticizing yourself for being ‘out of alignment’ whenever things go wrong or you think you’re not doing things right because they are not working.

Let’s talk about Abundance

So much misunderstanding about abundance because we think it means only good things

We have abundance when we have money, freedom, good things, and blessings and if we don’t then we have no abundance.

But we always have abundance in everything

The universal law of abundance states ‘there is abundance in all things’

You can have an abundance of problems, bad health, money issues, sadness, and unhappiness

You can have an abundance of joy, love, laughter, miracles, and things you really like

There is always unlimited abundance in your life – to change the kind of flow you have to change the kind of abundance you are manifesting which means to change your alignment

The keys to understanding abundance are:

1. Understand that abundance exists in all things, everywhere, all of the time

2. You connect with, attract, and receive the kind of abundance that resonates with your own energy frequency

3. Whatever you have a lot of in your life exists in abundance

4. Changing your level of abundance depends on your own energy frequency and vibration – abundance follows beliefs and beliefs create alignment

There are two keys to abundance:

1. In a universe that exists in unlimited abundance there can be no concept of lack, where there is nothing. Unlimited abundance is unlimited abundance.

2. The opposite of abundance is not lack, it is limitation. So if your life is not feeling abundant in ways that you want, it is not because there is nothing there for you, it’s because you are limiting the flow of the kind of abundance you want into your life

Let’s talk about Authenticity

Authenticity is the state of being genuine or real, it is not a state of honesty, morality, or good behavior

When we say someone is not being authentic that is not true – they are being themselves – we are always being exactly who we are

In this case, that person is not in alignment with our beliefs about honesty, morality, or good behavior – that does not make then not authentic, it makes them themselves

We spend too much time thinking we have to be authentic – we are always authentic, just like we always have abundance and we are always aligned with what is in our reality

They keys to authenticity are

1. Everyone is always their authentic self, at all times. Authenticity is not a measure of goodness, kindness, compassion, spirituality, or understanding.

2. The only way to be truly authentic is to be yourself at all times

3. Who we are changes over time, as we heal, learn, and grow and become more self aware we change our level of authenticity to reflect our self awareness but we are always authentic throughout that process

4. We cannot spend time judging our authenticity just as we cannot spend time criticizing others because their authenticity conflicts with what we think is good or acceptable behavior

We need to look for alignment and not judge others’ authenticity. The person who lies to you, cheats on you, and steals from you is being their authentic self – they are a liar, cheater, and a thief. Instead of judging them ask yourself what it is in you that has chosen to align with that kind of person and look within yourself to do the healing you need to choose people who are more honorable, respectful, and trustworthy.

Alignment, Abundance, and authenticity are powerful spiritual principles that govern our use of energy and how we can live in an empowered, powerful way. When we use these spiritual principles in alignment with our soul priorities and our highest potential, they become the keys to joyful, joy-filled living.

March 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 2 Mar 2021 04:54:55 +0000

We can expect a lot of action this month, very fitting for the only month whose name is an action word. March implies movement and energy, moving towards something, and since it’s also the beginning of spring here, fresh growth, fresh starts, and a welcome release FROM the cold, dark days of winter. Of course we have to look at March as the new solar year as our new year begins with the Spring Equinox on March 20 so happy new year and happy new times.

March’s themes include motivation, mastery, miracles, movement, and manifestation. If you’re still feeling the energy hangover from January and February, don’t fret because that will pass after the first few days. We’re still reeling from the Saturn/Uranus square and all of the heavy Capricorn energy we had from 2020 even though the only planet left in that sign is Pluto but it does pack quite a punch.

Remember that the end of the global monarchies and their totalitarian reign happened the last time Pluto was in Capricorn, in the late 1700s. The US is having its Pluto return now, February 19, July 8, and December 28, 2021 are all critical dates for that return. This isn’t just a US aspect though, Pluto represents the end of the 3D domination and control paradigms all over the world. Expect to see global protests against tyranny, including medical tyranny, this year.

March opens on a Monday which isn’t unusual but for me, months that start on Mondays seem more organized and complete. I have a hard time when the month begins on a Friday, for example, as it feels like an oxymoron to start a new month on the last day of the work week.

February ended with a full moon at 8 Virgo which set off the healing energy of Chiron, known as the Wounded Healer. If you have been reading my energy reports for at least the last 10 years, we have had a very active Chiron and every time it is highlighted we get big opportunities to clear out energy, to heal our soul wounds, and clear out our emotional baggage. This adds more fuel to March’s strong energy potential because without getting rid of our energy baggage we cannot expect to be open to new possibilities for our life and to have the energetic space to integrate and align with them.

Venus in Pisces bestows a special blessing in March. This is the planet of love and beauty and Pisces is where it’s at its most powerful. This is a highly spiritual aspect and with the strong Aquarius energy, helps ground our spirituality into the more grounded aspects of 5D, like community, connection, co-operation, and collaboration. And it’s going to soften the Saturn/Uranus square a bit this month too, at least until March 20 when Venus moVE into Aries, just in time to welcome the Equinox.

Mercury and Jupiter meet up the first week of March which is a very lucky aspect. Besides going retrograde 3 to 4 times a year, Mercury rules communication, our siblings, karma, and transportation. It is actually a very powerful planet on a personal level and its meeting with Jupiter gives us some impetus to remove the blocks to our forward movement. We need momentum and we create that by removing the speed bumps that are represented by our energy baggage.

The Saturn/Uranus square, which was first active in February 2021 is going to be a signpost for all of 2021. Much like the Capricorn theme of 2021, we are going to have this aspect pushing us towards a higher level of self awareness and self actualization. The theme of the Saturn/Uranus square is ‘grow up and show up’. It’s not an insult, grow up means to live at a higher vibe, to remove the things that weigh us down, make us sad, and keep us in the past. Show up means to be fully present in your life and in each moment. Where is the present moment? It is the moment in which you are breathing and it is the only moment you have.

March’s themes are focused on our creativity, which is a 5D aspect. It’s time to get out of our karmic cycles, soul groups, release our guilt and shame that keeps us chained to the past, and start thinking about fresh starts, new seeds of potential, and new possibilities for our lives and for our world.

One thing that has changed our lives in the past 10 years, with the advent of the Internet, is that we are now globally connected. Isn’t it amazing how I can conduct my weekly Facebook LIVE presentations and I’m online with hundreds of people from all over the world and we can interact in real time. Never before in our history have we been able to connect with each other in this way. We have always had a spiritual connection, but we have never had a way to instantly connect in the physical world. Isn’t this another example of heaven on earth?

Here are some ways to use March’s energy the most efficiently and productively:

1. Do a big energy clearing – release your energy baggage. All of the anger, resentment, guilt, shame, fear, regrets, and bad memories need to go. You cannot be open to new potentials if you’re tied to the past with the heavy chains of your regrets. And no one benefits from that, especially not you. Yes it is hard to let go when you really want someone to give you some acknowledgement of your suffering but there are times when we have to weigh the cost of our pride and hurt feelings against the price of our emotional freedom and energetic sovereignty, the theme of 2021.

2. Let some beauty into your life, indulge yourself this month, especially in the first three weeks. This can include your physical appearance, your living space, or your wardrobe. It can also be allowing yourself to see your inner beauty, appreciate your power, grace, your accomplishments, and to see yourself as special, deserving, worthy, accomplished, and powerful. We need to feed our egos too. When there is too much focus on our spiritual side, we forget that our body needs nourishment and so does our mind. Get comfortable with the term self-indulgent this month and do something nice for yourself (at least once and preferably several times).

3. Stop thinking about the people who betrayed, used, or mistreated you. I can bet that they do not think about you at all and they’re living rent free in your head. There are no mistakes in life, there are just decisions and choices that seemed right at the time. It’s when we get a different outcome than we thought we would that we start analyzing our past and our choices. But when we make them we really did think that was the best option or we didn’t have any other options.

4. We’re still in the active Saturn/Uranus square energy which represents the need to get serious about our life, our choices, and our potential. Every potential is not going to get grounded in our reality until we believe it is possible. If you’re holding yourself back, you will see where that is happening. If you’re carrying energy that is not useful or is out of alignment with a new life path you want to create for yourself, it will be revealed to you. The question for you is, do you still want to continue on that path or do you want to do something different? What holds the greatest joy for you?

5. Progress is so much easier when we are moving towards a new goal rather than running away from something we are trying to avoid. Movement has to be intentional and deliberate or else we can waste time running around in circles. And when we are trying to avoid fear, rather than moving towards a new potential, we are not using our energy or out intention very efficiently. Set an intention and let that be your goal. Then each step is one step closer to that outcome.

Remember Mercury is still in retro shadow until March 20 so while the actual retro is over, shadow retro can be sneaky so follow up with communications, leave extra time for travel, and try to stay grounded instead of going off into other dimensions when you feel stressed or overwhelmed. Mercury retro can make those times really difficult for you.

The new moon on the 13th is the only one this year that fully highlights Neptune, which is in Pisces, the house it rules. This is going to give March a spiritual quality which doesn’t mean we all get to take a vacation in fairyland and ignore our reality, hide from the ego, and think the Universe is going to gift us with all the goodies. It means that we have more access to the spiritual energy for whatever we want to manifest. And it empowers us to use our spiritual tools, like our intuition, intention, and miracles, to shape our reality into something that matches our soul’s vision of our potential.

The real energy jolt happens at the end of the month, where we have a full moon right on Chiron, the Wounded Healer. So be prepared for some upsets, reveals, and restarts in the healing and release. Chiron has a way of bringing the wounds forward in ways we cannot ignore and if you have had your Chiron return, which happens around age 49 to 52, you know. Whatever is brought up in March can be completed by October, when we have a new moon that aspects Chiron.

It’s a month with a lot of potential but you get to decide what becomes a possibility and then gets integrated into your reality. First, clear the emotional and energy baggage because it occupies a lot of space in your life and in your energy field. Indulge your potential and your vision for yourself and for your life. Don’t let energy drains and light dimmers dilute your energy and your joy. And remember that whatever you release makes room for something new. Finally, the Universe works with us, not for us. Ascension is not a ride in a chauffeur driven limo. It’s more like a ride on a tandem bicycle and we’re pedaling in the front.

It’s going to be a great month, a new year, and good times for everyone. Have a wonderful month.

How to Use 5D Language to Support Your Intention

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 04:49:27 +0000

As we move forward along the ascension path our manifestation and energy control abilities increase dramatically. You may be seeing this in your life now. Then our language becomes important because as master manifestors and energetically sovereign beings, we use our language to move, direct, and control energy.

Language, both internal and external, is what keeps the momentum in our intention.

Remember energy has no judgment, it just goes wherever it is told to go. We use a variety of tools to move energy including our intention, alignment and integration, as well as our beliefs, thoughts, words, and actions. Words are part of our language and words create – every word creates.

All of these work together to move us from 3D density to an integrated 5D paradigm. And we must use the combination of our energy tools within the 5D paradigm to move energy in the right direction.

If we’re using low vibration words to move into a high vibe reality, it won’t work.

If we’re using polarized language to move into the duality of 5D congruence, it won’t work.
If we’re not aligning our energy tools and our intention with our language to keep the manifestation momentum moving, we’ll feel stuck.

Before I talk about 3D and 5D language, let’s look at polarity and duality. They are not the same thing although many people refer to them that way. It’s wrong. They represent two different states of being, one is pure 3D, the other is integrated 3D/5D.

We cannot achieve multi-dimensionality within a polarized reality because we cannot hold two different energies in polarity. And that is required for multi-dimensionality.

Polarity means opposites, it is pure 3D energy. It’s an ‘either/or’ choice. We can have this or that but not both. We have to choose sides and abandon one thing over another.

There’s always a winner and a loser in 3D. 3D polarity is not aligned with the 5D paradigm. In fact, it is a closed system that rejects 5D or any other energy outside of its frequency.

5D is duality, it is an ‘and’ choice. We can have this and we can have that. We can have any combination we choose.

Duality means two, the concept of being ‘dual’ means not just two things randomly put together, but two things that are together, and they fit together and work together. This is congruence, a 5D aspect.

When we are in 3D we are in polarity and our language is one of the components of our movement into duality, from 3D to 5D

3D energies are competition, constriction, conflict, chaos, and control

Language includes spoken language as well as how you speak to yourself – the conversations you have with yourself in your head.

What do they sound like?

Would you be willing to say them out loud?

When are you in conflict?

What kind of chaos is in your life?

What competing thoughts are in your head, mirroring competing energies in your life?

What kind of words do you use when you speak out loud? If you knew that each word creates would you use different language?

As a clairaudient I can hear what people say to themselves. When I speak to clients I often hear the answers to what I say. They are not always very positive or uplifting.

No I can’t, that’s not me, that will never work, I can’t do that

What does your self talk sound like? Here is an example of 3D polarized language

I can’t do it

It won’t work for me

I am never going to figure this out

I am not lucky

Can you name your own polarized language?

The 5D energy is creativity, cooperation, collaboration, community, connection, and clarity

5D language embodies these energies and is deliberate, positive, self aware, expansive, and intentional. 5D language acknowledges the limitations of 3D and the potential that we are capable of when we allow

5D language examples of duality or multi-dimensionality include

I set my intention for receiving this – or something better that I have not yet envisioned

I accept the decisions and choices of others without judgment

I allow myself to have

I create my reality to become

I am energetically sovereign

I extend my energy towards

I embrace my perfection in

It is not enough to set an intention and then hope for the best. Your intention creates an energy container for the outcome you want but it requires nurturing every step of the way and part of that nurturing includes your internal and external language.

It’s like driving a car – you still need to keep your foot on the gas and steer the car in the right direction, and make sure you stay on the road.

You can put it in cruise control but you still have to keep your hands on the wheel and watch where you’re going, and make sure you stay on the road.

The internal language is especially important because it represents how you really feel and what you really think. So watch that inner language, use your 5D language to expand your 3D reality and keep the momentum moving for that intention to manifest.

And remember when you achieve a victory, any victory, celebrate yourself. Acknowledgement is also part of the 5D paradigm and it is a reminder of your power and abilities, as well as a sign of closure with one part of your path and a new beginning for another one.

What Matters Becomes Matter

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 19:57:26 +0000

What matters to you? What is important to you? What do you stand for or take a stand on and what would you fight for? Do you know that what matters to you becomes matter? That your entire reality is created by what matters to you. This is the core energy of our lives and when you understand how to define what matters to you, you have the key to manifestation, energy mastery, and creating the reality of your life on your terms.

We defend what matters because these are our life principles and standards. We define ourselves, who we are, what we believe, our ethics and morals, by what matters. But do we ever look at what matters and ask ourselves why we are supporting this belief or whether it belongs to us? Sometimes our life’s ‘matters’ are those we inherit or learn from others and we don’t question them. But it all becomes part of our matter (or reality) because what matters to you is manifesting in your life right now, whether you are aware of it or not, or want it or not.

What do you claim as matter that you inherited from someone or that is part of someone else’s belief system? Is this part of what you may be afraid to change even though you do not like it?

For example, a client had an annual family event they dreaded every year. It was tradition and had been done for decades. But they didn’t get along with the family, they were not well liked, and they never enjoyed their time at these events.

One year there was a conflict – they received an invitation to go on vacation with friends at the same time as the annual family event. This became a ‘what matters’ choice because they were faced with a choice:

Going to the family event they dreaded or going on vacation with friends they enjoyed being with.

If they chose to avoid the family event there would be a lot of angry judgments, criticism, and accusations of being disloyal to the family, of ruining the annual event, of disappointing people, and of not being part of the family.

If they chose the vacation with friends they would have a much better time but may have to deal with guilt, being shamed by the family, and not having a good time because they dreaded a potential year’s worth of being blamed for the failure of the family event that everyone (but them) looked forward to.

What is important to us defined by our priorities and our non-negotiables, principles I teach in my Energy Boundaries course. This is the foundation of our life. How we use energy is governed by our priorities and non-negotiables. But we don’t use these effectively and we often discount what is important to us to get along, go along, and make others happy.

Priorities are what is important to you, they are what you put first in your life. A priority could be self care, managing your time, safeguarding your energy, keeping yourself safe, your security, your family, or your job and career. Often our priorities involved other people and their needs, at the expense of our own.

If having approval is important to you then your priorities will reflect making others happy, getting their approval, making sure you are aligned with others’ needs, and not creating chaos or disturbances in your relationships. Your priorities could also include avoiding drama and chaos and staying away from challenging situations.

Non-negotiables are things that you will not compromise under any circumstance. In relationships that could be honesty, commitment, telling the truth, reliability, loyalty, and kindness. Some of my non-negotiables in relationships include no addictions, being honest, consideration, honesty, and commitment. I have no tolerance for those things and when they occur the relationship is over – no negotiating, no compromise.

What are some of your non-negotiables and how much do you stand for them? If you value honesty, are you willing to end a relationship if someone is dishonest? Or do you compromise your non-negotiables in the name of safety, security, avoiding being alone, or trying to make others happy

This is a tough topic but these are tough principles. Your priorities and your non-negotiables define who you are and all too often, when we are called to defend what we stand for, we give up, give in, and compromise the very things that we say we will not compromise.

So much of our energy goes towards what matters that we need to do a ‘matter review’ occasionally, to ensure that we are connected to what we want to empower and create, and that it is still relevant and important to us.

A matter review is not an opportunity to judge what we have manifested — remember, energy is neutral and non-judgmental so we can’t judge or criticize our creation as good or bad. But we can take a look at situations and events in our lives from the point of discovering what mattered so much to us that we created this situation from it and whether that is valid and something we want to do.

I think it is also important to do a priorities and a non-negotiables review, to ensure that we are aligned with what we say we stand for and that we are engaged in relationships that honor what we stand for. And that we are still aligned with our own priorities and non-negotiables.

This is not just in relationships, it is in everything that we do. A few years ago I had a job with a non-profit that was engaged in shady business dealings. I didn’t realize it at first but as I got to know more about what the business owner was doing and questioning how he was disbursing the money and products he was in charge of, I became very nervous about being part of this business and the potential for criminal liability in case the IRS ever decided to investigate this business. I quit that job because it violated my non-negotiables for honesty, transparency, and not doing illegal things.

When we review our priorities, non-negotiables, and what matters, we also need to stay in the present moment. Judging ourselves for past actions never accomplishes anything, but making sure that we are channeling our energy into creation in an intentional, thoughtful, conscious, and purpose-ful way by ensuring that what we say and believe matters is still relevant and useful and is aligned with our intention, accomplishes a lot.

As we enter into this action packed, fast moving year of transformation and energetic sovereignty, we have an even greater ability to create transformation and movement in every area of our lives. And since we’re always creating our reality in every moment, we can be more aware of what we are creating by looking at what matters to us.

The matter we are creating (which is our physical reality) unfolds from what matters, meaning things that are important, relevant, uplifting and empowering. And that includes our need for healing, validation, value, acknowledgement, and transformation.

And from ‘what matters’ we create all of our relationships and connections. They are going to respond to us in a way that mirrors our commitment and dedication to ourselves. We cannot pretend that we are aligned with our own priorities if we are not. We cannot expect others to align with priorities that we ourselves are not willing to defend. While we tend to blame people for ‘not being in integrity’ when they betray, abandon, or disrespect us, they are mirroring our own level of commitment and integrity to our own values. If we do not value our values we cannot expect others to value them.

It’s never too late to do a matter review and if you did one now, you just might discover that a few things which once mattered to you may or may not be as important now. If you release them, you can you bring some new aspects of matter into your life that will create new potentials for your reality.

We create our intention through what matters to us, because we use what is important to us as the basis for our intention. Then we see the results in our physical reality, or matter. If we don’t like what we see, we can look at what mattered to us at that moment and change what matters, so we can change our matter (reality).

And if the people in our life are behaving badly, we need to look at how we define our priorities and non-negotiables and how willing we are to stand for our own energetic sovereignty so we can connect with people who will be mirrors of our self awareness, self love, and what matters to us.

From Victim to Victor

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 9 Feb 2021 18:58:59 +0000

Everyone has had some kind of victim experience in their life, whether that is being bullied by someone in school, pushed out of a job by a more competitive co-worker, or experiencing a sudden, unexpected illness or life event that turns your life into an out of control spiraling mess. These situations challenge our courage and our resolve and they can devastate us. T

he worse damage they do, even if we do recover and move out of them, is create a victim consciousness where even when we are no longer a victim, the situation has left us victimized.

Being a victim is tough and these are times when our lives feel out of control. Whether the situation lasts for 5 minutes, 5 months, 5 years, or a lifetime, that out of control, helpless, powerless feeling is definitely something no one wants to experience. And I know this all too well.

When I was paralyzed at age 5 years my recovery and return to mostly fully mobility 5 years later was considered a miracle by my doctors. But what I didn’t realize until many years later is that while I was no longer a victim of the paralysis I had been victimized by the experience.

Too many years of being left out, not being able to do things like other children, of being an inconvenience, different, and being stared at by curious people had made me very self conscious.

My parents reminding me for years that “I almost died” (and I did have a near death experience) had made me aware that life can change in an instant, that nothing is permanent, and that you have no control over those situations.

Not being 100% healed of the paralysis was a constant reminder of what had happened to me and even though I could walk and was fully mobile, I was very aware that I was ‘different’.

I had moved from being a child victim of paralysis to being a victimized adult and I didn’t even know it.

I let this be my life for many years until something shifted and I realized that I lived my life as a victim. I think it was the realization that all of my friends were victims, that I shared my victim story with everyone, and that my victim story was the story of my complicated, out of control, unpredictable present, as well as my past.

I detail this in the first chapter of my book, From Victim to Victor, as I explain how victimization occurs and what it does to your life. (you can hear this on the podcast)

The shift didn’t happen with any intention or plan, I think that one day I got tired of sharing my victim story and I decided I wasn’t going to do it any more.

Now making the change from victim to victor was not easy because I had lived that way for a long time. But I had determination and desire, and I had the motivation to do something else.

If being victimized was one way I could live my life, being a victor was another choice.

So I decided to try it.

Now moving from one state of being to another takes courage and determination, and a plan. I don’t suggest you do this without considering the consequences or that it may take a few tries before you find the victor path.

Here are some things you can do to move from victim to victor:

1. Like any self defeating behavior, being victimized is like an addiction. You get attention, support, and help when you’re a victim. So you are going to have to find another way to get those things.

2. Being victimized protects you from judgment when you do not succeed at things in your life. So you are going to have to make a commitment to your success and stick to it since you can’t fall back on your victim consciousness as an excuse for non-performance or non-completion.

3. You’ll have to define what being a victor means to you and to make that as valuable as being a victim. You see, victimhood is valuable or you would not do it. So you have to replace the value of being a victim with a greater, more valuable victor statement.

4. You will probably have to find new friends because if you’re a victim your friends are victims too. If you’re familiar with the expression ‘misery loves company’, if you are no longer miserable, they will no longer want your company.

5. The difference between victim and victor is I AM and if you look at the two words, they are separated by the letters I and M. Say “I am a victim”. Now say “I am a victor”. Which one feels better to you? Which one sounds better? Which one do you believe? While you may believe that you are a victim and your life probably reflects that right now, moving from victim to victor is a process of shifting your beliefs, your truth, and your perspective.

This is a journey that requires intention, commitment to yourself, and a desire for transformation. It is not going to be a quick fix but you will see results when you take small steps and celebrate each victory.

If you are ready to move from victim to victor then make a commitment to yourself, to your joy, and to your new life as a victor where victim consciousness is not allowed to cripple your dreams and paralyze you with fear. It is not easy but it can be done with grace and ease.

I am a victor!

The February 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 3 Feb 2021 04:03:10 +0000

January is not really over, nor is 2020 because we still have the remnants of that energy signature playing in the background, like that annoying song you hear on the radio and then you hum it to yourself all day long. February does bring in a welcome rush of Aquarian energy which means it is bold, brash, and daring us to embrace our highest potential. And interestingly enough it’s a repeat of the energy of February 1962 which had the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in Aquarius, at nearly the same degrees they are today. History does repeat itself but with free will and energetic sovereignty, the outcome can be different today.

You are your past but your future does not have to become a mirror of the past. That’s one theme of February’s energy. Your past is part of you and you cannot escape it but you can avoid repeating it and this month gives us that opportunity. Not just this month though, the entire year because the Saturn/Uranus square is active all year. This aspect is going to play out as the past in a tug of war with the present and we have the final choice over which energy will win out. Aquarius is the sign of community, it’s also the sign of social conscience, collaboration, and working together to improve the global condition. What are we going to do differently today than we did in the past and how are we going to implement those changes?

The Truth about Spiritual Shaming

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 01:41:50 +0000

Spiritual shaming is a form of manipulation which implies that your talents and abilities are in question if you do not use them in the way someone thinks you should or expects you to. Or that there are expectations of you because you call yourself ‘spiritual’. Or we spiritual shame ourselves, holding ourselves to an impossibly high standard of behavior because we think that is what ‘spiritual people do’.

Whether we are being spiritual shamed by others or we are spiritually shaming ourselves, it’s not helpful and it is something we need to be aware of and to stop doing because it is interfering in our ascension process and our ability to be energy containers for more high frequency energy.

Sometimes we get spiritually shamed because we don’t help people who come to us for support and guidance. But those situations are not always simple or uncomplicated, are they.

How do you manage your energy boundaries to avoid being manipulated by spiritual shaming? Here are some guidelines:

1. Recognize your energy boundaries and don’t let yourself fall into the trap of manipulation or shaming. You are a wonderful, talented, fabulous person who deserves to be respected and valued for who you are and what you do.

2. Be clear about what you will share with others and what falls outside of that boundary. That way when you do say no you can steer people towards an option that will respond to their question without you oversharing, overgiving, or not being compensated for your time, efforts, and energy.

3. Don’t let others dictate your self worth or self confidence. Someone’s judgment of you is no more than their opinion and when it is stated in anger or fear it probably won’t be very good but that is their issue, not yours. Have your own energy boundaries about who you are and what you deserve, and make them iron clad and Teflon coated so they don’t get blown apart every time someone is angry with you because you are not doing what they want you to do.

4. Make your ‘no’ firm and not subject to discussion and do it for everyone. If you are afraid that people won’t like you if you say no, then you will say yes to everyone, even when you don’t want to. Be firm when you say no, again this is about energy boundaries, and make it stick. You can’t say no one day and yes the next, then you do not look serious. You know you must be consistent with everyone or they won’t take you seriously.

5. Respect yourself enough to value your time, energy, talents, and abilities. What did it take for you to get where you are today? Probably quite a lot. Respect yourself by honoring your own path and if you do not want to do something, don’t do it. You do not owe anyone a long explanation, a simple ‘no’ is sufficient, or you could say ‘not right now’ and suggest a more convenient date or time, or ‘I have a program that provides a solution for you’ issue and give them the website URL.

Finally, ask yourself this important question, “If I say yes am I going to resent myself or regret it?” If the answer to that question is yes then say no. You will ultimately feel more respected, more appreciated, and more valued when you recognize your own energetic sovereignty and learn how to control your energy flows. It’s better to have someone try to spiritually shame you than to feel taken advantage of, disrespected, and angry with yourself at not being able to say ‘no’ when you want and need to.

It’s unfortunate that spiritual shaming is a response from people who should know better by virtue of who they say they are but these are challenging times and everyone is feeling a little off. I would never tell someone they were not spiritual, no matter what they were doing because that simply is not my call and I cannot possibly know what their level of spirituality is.

But I also don’t get too distracted by someone who tries to shame me spiritually because I know that it is a mirror of their own energy and not a barometer of mine. And those people are quickly reminded of my energy boundaries and shown the door because we all get to control who is part of our energy field and only those people who can ‘love, honor, and respect us’ need to be included in that place.

Be aware of your own energy, where you want it to flow, and how you want to interact with others and them with you. Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ when it’s appropriate for you and if you are spiritually shamed for your response, just smile and know that as long as you ‘love, honor, and respect’ yourself that is all that matters.

3D 5D and the 4D Ascension Bridge

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 23:40:32 +0000

Empaths, energy workers, healers, and people with spiritual inclinations are among the most compassionate, loving beings on earth. And this love and compassion can extend to wanting to help everyone, which is a good thing.

Together with our belief that ascension is the path that everyone can, will, and should take, it creates confusion as to where our work should take us and what we are supposed to do on behalf of humanity. Do we stop what we’re doing and help others catch up when we see the crowd on the 4D bridge, or do we leave them to their choices and let them ‘suffer’ while we’re having fun in the 5D playground? The answer may surprise you.

You have heard me say many times that the universe is just, it is not kind, which means it is totally non-judgmental and has no opinion about anyone’s journey or progress. It recognizes every person as being energetically sovereign, which means that it is fully supportive of our choices, no matter what they are.

The farther we go on the 4D bridge the more non-judgmental we must become too, sharing our shining light as a beacon for others to see and embody, without pausing to see if they do. Everyone gets to make their own choices, even if we think their choices are bad, it is not our place to judge them as that is their karmic cycle at play and they need to and must do exactly what they are doing for their own journey to wholeness and congruence, which is part of the ascension journey.

Meanwhile, it’s getting crowded on the 4D bridge as people step onto it and then realize the consequences of that choice, so they stop moving forward until they can figure out their next steps. If they’re scared they will do what they can to try to pull others back to where they are, so they will engage in verbal violence, trolling, judgment, and criticism in an attempt to create the 3D energy they are familiar with.

Can they make us feel ‘sorry for them’ and interrupt our journey so they don’t have to move forward any more? That’s one tactic. Another one is to call us selfish and mean because we are in a different energy space that they want to access without making any changes in their own energy frequency and vibration. I'll do a podcast on what I call 'spiritual shaming' to describe how people can use their expectations of 'spiritually inspired behavior' to manipulate us into doing what they want.

At the same time this is all happening, the 3D paradigms are dis-integrating and the 3D paradigm they are familiar with is no longer there, it’s full of holes and is being inundated with 5D energy. So they’re stuck on the 4D bridge with only two options, stand still or move forward, and they are upset, angry, scared, and confused.

Those of you who are sensitive and compassionate feel their pain and you have to decide what you do next. Do you pause your forward movement and go back to help them or do you shine more brightly so they have a brighter light to help them make their choice to move forward less overwhelming?

If you selected the shining more brightly option, you are correct. But they may see that as another sign of irritation and not be inspired by your light. They may feel that you are ‘outshining’ them and highlighting their limitations. They may accuse you of thinking that you are ‘better’ than they are and call you names. Or they may twist your words and accuse you of saying things you did not say. Remember they are part of the crowd on the 4D bridge, unsure of what to do to move forward, afraid of the changes that are happening in their lives, and they want to re-create their 3D realities even though they are no longer available.

Ascension is a collective journey but an individual path. Everyone is ascending but in their own way, at their own pace, and moving towards their own outcome. The big ascension does not exist, as we won’t all arrive at the same destination at the same time or achieve the same frequency and vibration. Instead, we will have smaller ascension cycles that we complete depending on our soul mission, karmic cycles, lessons, and what we can and are willing to ascend to in this lifetime.

The 4D crowd will begin to thin out as some people find the courage to shine more brightly and separate from those who want and need to take their time to make their choice. Eventually everyone will arrive at the place where they feel safe, comfortable, and aligned with their energy.

And that probably won’t be the same for everyone but that’s OK because it’s a continuously renewing process and if someone doesn’t have the courage to complete their 4D bridge crossing now, they may re-think that choice at a later time.

What will inspire and encourage them eventually is the presence of the brightly shining lights ahead of them, letting them know that some people have successfully made the journey and they can move away from the 4D bridge crowd and not only will they be safe once they find the courage to start moving forward to a new 5D reality, but someone will be there to welcome them when they arrive.

2021 Predictions

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 5 Jan 2021 03:50:54 +0000

It may be a little hard to get started in 2021 especially after the chaos and shocks of 2020. What happened during that year surprised everyone and even more surprising may have been the reactions of people you thought you knew in the face of fear, life disruption, and chaos. But the themes of 2020, which I had noted in the 2020 predictions to be clarity, confidence, and congruence, were fulfilled, maybe not in the way we anticipated.

I have been writing annual predictions since 2007 and in this year's version you'll hear about key energies, energy themes and movements, power periods, and how to best utilize this year's energy. Also important is how to leverage what we have learned from 2020 into a springboard for 2021 success.

You can read the full 2021 Predictions at this link, on the blog. And my 2021 success program, GPS 2021 POINT Your Energy, is available now, full details are provided here. This year's program features detailed instructions to POINT your energy, energy mastery, how to use your power of intention, energy activation bonuses, 4 LIVE and recorded Q&A calls with Jennifer, including a January 9, 2021 detailed discussion of the 2021 predictions.

January 2021 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Mon, 4 Jan 2021 21:05:17 +0000

January opens with the rare and historic Saturn/Jupiter conjunction entry into Aquarius that happened on December 21. This energy signature will be with us all year and is going to move us out of the heavy earth energy of Capricorn into the air energy of Aquarius. The Light Age is here, finally.

You know that I’m not going to announce this without also giving a reminder that we drive energy movement and momentum, so consider this new Light Age energy signature as being able to drive on smooth asphalt rather than a dirt road, we still have to put in the effort to move ahead and there will be a few bumps along the way.

As you read in my 2021 Predictions, which you can read here, 2021 is the year of Intentional Creation and Energetic Sovereignty. January is the portal between the awareness of these potentials and their embodiment and implementation– we know they are available, we just have to identify what we are ready for and start setting our intentions. We’re at another transformation crossroads and this one comes with the history of 2020 so we are all motivated to move forward and not backwards.

January is really a mixed bag of energy as we have so many different things happening at once – the new year, the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction, an upcoming Mercury retrograde, all of the personal planets change signs, and a very strong new moon on the 13th , as a reminder that the Pluto density clearing is ongoing. Remember that while the Saturn/Pluto conjunction is no longer fully active since Saturn changed signs, Pluto is still in Capricorn doing its density dredging work so we’re not out of those woods yet. Pluto will not leave Capricorn completely until December 2024.

The January 13 new moon is directly conjunct Pluto, reminding us that the work of dredging 3D density is not finished yet but rather than being caught in the whirlpool of density that there is no escape from, which we experienced in 2020, we can now watch the dredging from the riverbank.

And at the end of the month the full moon in Leo is going to give us a little energy jolt as it squares Jupiter and Uranus, like throwing us a little bit of luck our way – but more like a carrot on a stick that we have to move out of our comfort zone to reach than a beautifully decorated gift basket.

The best way to use January’s energy is to avoid jumping at the first opportunity and throwing all of your intention eggs in one basket, as tempting as that may be. So many people have told me how glad they are that 2020 is over and that can lead to jumping at any opportunity just to get away from the 2020 chaos and discomfort. But with so many potential energy distractions this month, it will be more effective to set intentions for the outcomes you want and then sample different options to see how they fit.

This reminds me of the ‘café gourmand’ offered in many Paris cafes, which allows you to sample multiple desserts at one time, rather than trying to choose just one pastry from among the beautiful and temping selection.

This is the month to look at choices, not decisions. Think about what brings you the most joy and choose that route. We’re still processing a lot of energy so you may feel tired, anxious, exhausted, and be taking multiple naps a day. I haven’t taken this many naps since I was in diapers!

We need a little down time to recover from 2020 so do take your time but work on those intentions to start creating your high vibe energy container, to organize your energy and start pointing it in the direction you want to move into.

And try to not let yourself get distracted by the many moving parts this month, everything will settle down by March and then we may have clarity to make a decision and know that is the direction we want to move into, for now.

Are you ready to learn how to set your energy GPS in 2021 and POINT your Energy to the joy, abundance, love, and mastery you want?

Know When It's Time to Stop Blooming and Go

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:40:50 +0000

One year after I wrote an article entitled 'Bloom Before You Go' that was a message to me, to be happy where I was now so I could have closure here and create the energetic paradigm for my new location from a place of joy, I got another message, bloom time was over, it was time to go. Other places are calling me and I am ready to go. I had done all of the blooming I could, ‘grow time’ is over and it’s now ‘go time’. You can listen to that article in podcast episode 15.

I did my best to bloom, to be happy in a place where I was very unhappy, to put the lessons I had learned in place were I was and to seek fulfillment there, instead of dashing out the door at the first opportunity.

And I did that successfully, there was nothing more for me to do now but since I had decided to be at my highest vibes even though I did not want to be there, that was the energy I was taking to my new place.

I know I have put this article in the context of moving to a new area but this is part of every life transformation. The energy we leave with is the energy we start our new life path with

We do have to ‘bloom where we are’ before we can move on because things are not always better somewhere else. And we have work to complete where we are so we can move on to another place at a higher vibe. If we move on when we’re resentful, miserable, and unhappy, we’ll take that energy with us into the new place AND we will attract a place with that kind of energy.

It can seem like we’re the last in line, that others get to move on while we have to stay in a place where we really are not happy, don’t fit, and don’t seem to resonate with the energy of the place at all.

But eventually it is time to move on. That day of release we have long been awaiting finally comes around for us.

There’s another reason why we stay in places longer than we need to and this is part of the ‘bloom before you go’ lesson. Sometimes that lesson is for us to take control over when we are finished, when we give a voice to our soul’s desire to expand into new potentials and abandon our quest to heal everyone or change the world.

Sometimes that’s hard to do because we want to make sure that we have fulfilled our entire purpose where we are, learned all of its lessons, and done all we could do.

Sometimes the fulfillment of that life purpose is how many people we heal and transform. So we hang around, sending small or large hints at them to get on with it so we can move on. But, here’s an insight flash for you, our life purpose and life path movement do not depend on what anyone does with their healing.

Our mission is to put the information in front of them and let them choose. This is how we honor their energetic sovereignty.

Imagine what would happen if you went to a restaurant and after the server brought your food, they tied a bib around your neck, sat next to you, and fed you every bite, also telling you that you had to eat everything on your plate or you would not get dessert. You would probably think they were mad and would never go to that restaurant again.

Mostly, though, we don’t want to repeat lessons in our new place, we want a new beginning

My geraniums are in full bloom now, although winter is approaching and they will die with the first frost. They know that their blooming season is nearly over but they’re giving me one final burst of beauty before they go. They could just stop blooming because they’re going to die anyway — we have already had a few cold mornings, and they know that winter is coming. But they are blooming until the end, going out with a glorious finale and that’s how I’m going to go too. When we know it’s time to go we can stop blooming, wait, hold back on our joy but it’s much more fun to keep blooming as we walk out the door.

The decision to move on is often hard depending on how we view it. If we want to have perfection and completion, and we have created expectations about how that will look, we may never go because we will be waiting for something that may never happen.

But if we focus on our needs and how we feel, and what our heart tells us is right for us, then knowing when to stop blooming and go will be clear.

That doesn’t mean we have to pull up our blooms by the roots before it’s time, we can continue to bloom as we prepare for the next steps. In fact, it’s easier to plan for new beginnings when we’re in a place of joy than when we’re miserable and unhappy.

Wouldn’t we rather move from joy to joy, than hope that the next place will be better than where we are? I have run away from unhappiness too many times to know that unfinished business finds its way into my suitcases and follows me to my new place, no matter how much I want it to just disappear.

The timing of this realization is classic, as a year ago I got the message to ‘bloom before I go’ and I did. I focused on being grounded and happy right where I am. It wasn’t easy because I really wanted to move on, but I also knew that I did not want to repeat these lessons in my new place.

Now, a year later, the message is clear again, ‘know when it’s time to stop blooming’, prepare for the next steps, while I am enjoying the beauty of the present moment. It’s all going to happen with divine timing, which is not a matter of time, it’s a process of energy flow. And if we disconnect from our current space while we’re in full bloom, just imagine what high vibes we are setting our energetic paradigms with for our new spaces.

Impatience is not going to make this happen any faster, since we can’t hurry our way into new beginnings. We can, but if we think we need to rush into them, then we’re running away from something that is going to follow us.

Closure must be clean and clear now, in all aspects. Taking responsibility for our reality means owning everything we created so we know what we don’t want to create in our next space.

And if we let new beginnings flow gracefully from the beauty of our blooms, then we can leave our old path with a glorious memory of beauty, rather than frustration, unhappiness, and anger. If you have been ‘blooming before you go’, it just may be time to stop blooming and gather your seeds so you can plant them somewhere else.

Get Completion and Closure When you Bloom Before You Go

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 00:31:16 +0000

We all want to get away from a life challenge as quickly as possible but that can be the wrong thing to do if we want to create a different life and reality for ourselves. It's important that we gift our life lessons with the blessings of what we have learned. If not, we risk having to do the process all over again.

It's a process I call appreciating, rather than gratitude, so we increase the value of the experience and turn it into a powerful stepping stone for the future. Leaving at the first chance is like planting a garden and then ripping it out before anything has a chance to bloom.

As tough as it is to 'bloom before we go' we benefit from learning how to appreciate our lessons into empowerment instead of leaving them still bleeding from our victim experiences.

When we learn to bloom in the most challenging places we give ourselves the gift of being able to succeed anywhere, in any circumstance, in any challenge. So taking a little bit of time to bloom before we go yields great benefits and a harvest of learning, growth, congruence, and satisfaction.

December 2020 Energy Report

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sun, 29 Nov 2020 22:33:41 +0000

Who’s ready for this year to end? Let’s not all speak up at once. This year has been quite a wild ride and we’re ready to put it behind us but before we do there are some important energy aspects in December and we are not quite finished with our work yet. So gear up for one more month of effort and then we can relax into 2021. December is all about closure, endings, resolution, and fresh starts.

It’s a month that opens with a lunar eclipse so you know there’s going to be action. This one repeats one we had in May 2002 and I believe that it’s significant because it ends the cycle that began with events in 2001. The geopolitical events of that year created a fear-based reality that is only now being reversed. And we have a choice, to continue to live in fear or to rise above the fear and start living at a higher vibe, with courage, faith, and self awareness.

The December 14 eclipse is an even more stark reminder of that period as it mirrors the one on December 14, 2001. That was a somber Christmas, I think this year’s is going to be much more celebratory.

These events are going to come full circle now and whether the full truth is revealed voluntarily or people start digging and coming up with their own conclusions, it’s going to be epic. That event changed the world just as the virus has in 2020 but the difference is in the level of awareness, connection, and self empowerment. We’re bolder, brighter, and far more determined to see this ascension cycle through. In 2002 we were just beginning this journey and still were not fully aware of its implications. Many teachers, like me and Karen Bishop, began downloading, sharing, channeling, and getting information in 2003 and I believe that is when this phase of our ascension cycle began.

Once we get past the lunar eclipse of November 30/December 1, we move straight into a short quiet period as we prepare for the December 14 eclipse and December’s big event, the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 0 Aquarius, happening between December 18 and 20. Now Jupiter and Saturn do have frequent conjunctions but the last time they were both at 0 Aquarius at the same time was in February 1226 and this month’s conjunction period is even shorter as they both move into Aquarius within 2 days of each other.

And we have more new energy cycles starting as Jupiter in Aquarius previously happened in January 2009 and Saturn was previously in Aquarius in February 1991.

I don’t know about you but those dates, especially 1991, were quite significant in my life although the events were not that happy or fun (I have heard that so much from many of you) they definitely started me on my ascension path. I did start a big spiritual group in Houston, Texas, then, and was doing a lot of channeling. That was the beginning of my ascension path although it would not really move forward until 2003, when I believe the collective of humanity was ready to embrace it and participate, and we had shifted the energy in the earth’s grid enough to make much more progress on the 3D/5D ascension integration.

So in December we get to turn a corner on that ascension path and to put some finality into the relationships and life situations we have been working on for lifetimes.

December’s themes of closure, endings, resolution, and fresh starts follow a trajectory that needs to be done in order.

1. First we need to get closure and as much as we want it from those who have hurt, betrayed, abandoned, judged, or been less than kind, compassionate, an disrespectful, we need to stop setting ourselves up for closure failure by asking them to give it to us and giving them every opportunity to do so. There is a reason for what I always say ‘closure is a gift we give to ourselves’. And that is because only we can decide when we are finished with a situation and if we want to wait around for someone to give us the vindication and resolution we want, we can do that and we’ll probably wait for a long time. If not, then we decide when we want to close that door and we close it tightly. Forever.

2. Endings follow closure because something is not truly ended until we have closure and that, again, is something we have to give to ourselves. It may help to realize that we will never get what we want from someone, in the way we want it, something that makes us feel better, that validates all we have done for them or given to them, or that gives us the feeling of worthiness and value that we want. I rarely say ‘never’ but this is one time where I will because it is necessary. Learn to accept that you will never get what you want from someone and that limiting your own soul inspired path to gain it is only hurting you.

3. Resolution follows endings because when something is resolved it has been analyzed, figured out, and decided. Other meanings for resolution include determination, fortitude, tenacity, and resolve. In this case, resolution must be applied to closure and endings, not to dig our heels in and hold out until we get what we want from someone or a situation that has run out of energy road long ago.

4. Fresh starts are possible in December but after mid-month, when we’re finished with the eclipses, the Jupiter/Saturn in Aquarius move, and the solstice on the 21st. And in another example of universal irony, just as we get through all of that the Sun moves into Capricorn on December 21, bringing us back into the heavy Capricorn energy we have dealt with all year.

Fresh starts or new beginnings are only possible when we have closure and endings and resolution, when we have accepted that the only life path we have any control over is ours, the only energy we control is our own, and that we cannot get others to give us more than they believe they have to give, no matter how much potential we see in them.

On the good news front, Neptune went direct on November 29, just in time for December. It has been retro since mid-June, preventing us from applying our full reserve of spiritual knowledge to the situations at hand and forcing us to face our challenges instead of hiding behind the veil of illusion and denial. Neptune rules illusion, addictions, spirituality, those things we escape to or use to hide from a reality we do not want to face.Our spiritual power is supposed to be empowering, and our soul’s light is to be used as a source of inspiration. But instead we often use it as an escape route, seeking protection in the unseen world when we cannot face a reality that is too dark, difficult, chaotic, and upsetting for us.

This has been a tough year but Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn demand that we face some stark realities, and get real about our journey. For too long we have hidden our gifts, denied our light, given our power away, hoped for healing, sat on the sidelines of life and pretended that the blessings of our divine blueprint were not ours to use. As we end this topsy-turvy year in which we have had to face up to a dark 3D reality we have gained a lot. Some people have lost a lot. Many people believe their lives will never return to normal, others don’t want it to. We can use this experience to rise above fear and plot a new path to joy.

Don’t hold your breath hoping this month will end without any more chaos. Instead, use what you have learned from this tough year, and we knew the Saturn/Pluto conjunction on January 12, a once in 500+ year aspect which has historically always ushered in destruction of the old paradigms, revelation of wrongdoing, and a chance to create a new and more empowering reality, would be powerful.

We just didn’t know how powerful it would be or how far-reaching.

Use the energy of December to give yourself closure, to create final endings, to resolve your challenges and make peace with your divine blueprint of energy mastery, and to focus on letting go the remnants of your old, disempowered reality that has run out of energy road to create a new frequency of joy, a high vibe of divine congruence, and an unshakeable belief in your own empowerment.

And prepare yourself for a new experience in 2021 that will be more pleasant, more enjoyable and more congruent with the 5D experience you want. But don’t think that the switch gets flipped on January 1, 2021. I think it’s going to take until March to get everything back to normal… more on that in the 2021 predictions, coming up at the end of December.

Have a great month

Point not Pivot to Handle Life's Catastrophes

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 22:35:10 +0000

While the concept of pivoting, turning in a different direction, is the new spin on how to address a life challenge, but when faced with catastrophic challenges we can’t pivot. Whatever has happened to us is permanent, a lasting reminder of how our life has changed.

Catastrophic life events alter our physical and energetic congruence, the fit and flow of energy in our lives that we carefully guard so our lives feel right, they make sense, and we feel safe and secure. Above all, we need to have harmony, where the energy flows effortlessly and we feel in control.

Congruence is part of our 5 energy priorities and they are an important aspect of our 360 degree energy model, a process I created in my trademark Becoming 360™ process. When that model is interrupted, or shattered, we lose all of our focus and grounding, our energy is scattered and chaotic as we try to bring ourselves back into energetic harmony, back into a reality that makes sense, where we feel safe and secure.

But as you know, with catastrophic life events, the past is over and a new reality has started, whether we like it or not. Usually we don’t because it means a total overhaul of our energy priorities, our Becoming 360™ model, and our entire life.

Have you ever noticed that anyone who has experienced a significant life trauma divides their life into two parts, events before the trauma and events after the trauma. The life trauma becomes a marker, a dividing point between old and new, comfortable and uncomfortable, the life we wish we still had vs the one we have to deal with now.

Now we have to learn to point in a new direction, using our energy to create a new life path that integrates our challenge into a new life paradigm. Pivoting doesn’t work, pointing is how we learn to integrate the challenge and make our life work again.

Imagine the soldier who loses his legs and has to decide how he’s going to manage his life now.

The mother who loses her children and husband, as one of my clients did, and has to create a new life for herself.

The person who dedicates their life to a career that abandons them and they have to start over.

The wife whose husband leaves her and she has to figure out how to survive alone.

There are countless examples of people who have to learn to point in a new direction because pivoting is not an option. Pivoting implies leaving the challenges behind, somehow abandoning the catastrophe and simply starting in a new direction.

Pointing, on the other hand, means we move forward with all of our baggage, the inconveniences, life and health challenges, the pain, the regrets, and the aftermath of whatever has irrevocably just changed our life. No matter how much we wish they were not part of our life now, they are and we have to do more than just learning to live with them, we have to learn to thrive with them and in spite of their limitations, challenges, and annoying inconveniences.

My old life ended on November 21, 1963 and a new life, that I did not consciously choose or want, began on November 22, 1963. I could not pivot away from the paralysis or nerve or muscle damage or loss of balance. Those would be with me for the rest of my life. I had to learn to point in a new direction so my energy could expand and I could thrive in spite of my challenges.

How do you learn to point? Let’s look at the 5 steps to that process

P is for Process – we have to process the challenge and its aftermath. We go through various stages of denial, grief, anger, acceptance, and then finally repurposing the challenge into something we can learn to live with and even excel with. Or we can give up and stop living altogether. That’s a choice too.

O is for Ownership – it’s so easy to fall into the victimhood of ‘why me’ and to deny the presence of this challenge. We can even wish it would go away and hope that somehow we, or the universe, can manifest a miracle and make it all go away. This is our new reality and we have to own it

I is for Integration – since I pioneered the concept of integration in my writing 15 years ago, I have been teaching that this is a process of fitting in, of bringing new elements into our life and creating physical, emotional, and energetic space for them. Integration is the most important aspect of manifestation and it is the least spoken about. It should be because it is the primary reason why we fail to get what we want, manifest new opportunities, and have lasting joy

N is for neutralize fear – we will be afraid – it is very scary to have your life change instantly by situations that you cannot control and then to have to remake your life to integrate them, to try to live a normal life in spite of what has happened to you. Fear is always a constant threat to our well-being, it is an ever present reminder that we cannot control our reality and often, what happens to us. We don’t neutralize fear by ignoring it, overcoming it, or even challenging it. We neutralize fear by recognizing the true source of our fear, which is consequences. Fear is not a thing, we do not fear ‘fear’, we fear consequences. Mitigating consequences means that we address every consequence we fear and create a solution for it. We raise its vibration, find a new energetic angle, and move on.

T is for Taking Control – in spite of what has happened we control the eventual outcome. We control whether we are victimized by our challenges or emerge victorious. WE control whether we stand up or give up, whether we decide we’re going to walk no matter what the doctors say, or take their prognosis and resign ourselves to a life of misery.

Don’t pivot in an attempt to run away from or avoid your life challenges, point ourself in a new direction. Process the grief for the life you will never have, for what you have lost, and then set an intention for a new beginning.

Take control, learn to rise above the fear by setting new intentions for your life. The old life may no longer be possible but you can create a new point of excellence for yourself and learn to leverage the pain to create a life of joy.

Forget Gratitude, Use Appreciation Instead

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 05:26:43 +0000

I have never liked the idea of being grateful for my terrible life experiences. It has always felt inauthentic to express how grateful I am for the things I wish had never happened to me. How can I be grateful for the pain, misery, challenges, and life disruptions when I really wanted the opposite? Gratitude works in 3D because it repeats karmic and pain cycles but we need a new process to move into 5D expansion and creation. So it’s time to replace gratitude with its higher energy expression, appreciation. (an audio podcast of this article is available at the end of the article).

The new integrated 3D/5D ascension path is going to usher in many changes and one of them is moving from limitation to expansion, to use our life challenges as a platform for multi-dimensional, high vibe living. Energy is always in motion and higher frequencies are both in motion and are always expanding.

Do you want to expand your pain or leverage your pain into new levels of understanding, awareness, and experience?

The word ‘gratitude’ reminds me of the French word ‘gratter’, which means both an itch and the action we take to scratch it. What happens when you scratch an itch? Sometimes it gets itchier, and we have to scratch it more and more. How can we remove the itch and its source altogether? By getting out of the karma and pain cycle and being open to expansion, potential, and empowerment.

Rather than trying to convince ourselves that we are grateful for things that we do not want, how can we expand that experience into something we can bring with us into 5D living? Let’s turn our gratitude into an act of appreciation, which means to increase in value, to make more precious. If we think about how energy creates and expands, doesn’t it make more sense to increase the value of an experience through appreciation rather than affirming how much we are glad to have it when we really don’t?

I am not grateful for the health issue from which I have experienced chronic pain for the past 6 years, that was so intense I could not walk at times and I thought it would kill me. But I have appreciated it into a greater awareness of treatment options and finding practitioners would could help with my overall health improvement, including healing the vaccine injury that is responsible for it.

I was not grateful for having 6 job layoffs in 8 years, resulting in the loss of my career which I really loved but I appreciated it into a thriving business as a spiritual teacher, author, and leader in self awareness and energy alignment, resonance, frequency, and transformation.

When you turn gratitude into appreciation you expand your awareness of the situation while also being open to new solutions, potentials, and opportunities to take you from a place of pain to a place of peace, to move from victim consciousness to victorious mastery, from limitation to expansion. You can either grind the wheel of gratitude or ascend into appreciation and turn your lessons into quantum leaps of alignment with new potentials.

Many aspects of our individual and collective realities are changing now and while some of the old ways we have been taught will still be useful, others will not. The spiritual teachings that got us through the last 20 plus years of the ascension cycles will have to be reviewed and some things will no longer work for us. I believe that how we have used the concept of gratitude in the past is one of them. There are others and how that works for you is part of your personal path.

Using appreciation instead of gratitude puts us in a place of expansion, potential, and being open to new possibilities and outcomes. And it is easier to be authentic with what we are experiencing when we know that being in a state of appreciation aligns us with the flow of energy and the expansion of 5D frequencies so we can move out of the pain and into something more joyful and fulfilling.

If you have trouble convincing yourself that you are grateful for an experience that has been especially challenging, try focusing on appreciation instead.

1. How can you appreciate this challenge into something that is aligned with your greater potential?

2. How can you appreciate the value of the experience into something that brings joy into your life?

3. And finally, how can you use the challenge as a platform to leap into new dimensions of being and living that expand your ascension journey into 5D joy that is pain and karma free?

Instead of saying ‘I am grateful for…and its presence in my life’, try this:

“I appreciate this experience and its lessons and move it into its highest potential and greatest possibilities into a higher dimension of awareness, learning, being, and energy congruence in alignment with my intention for a life that resonates at the highest frequencies of peace, joy, love, and abundance.”

And if you want to do an experiment, take a life challenge your facing and write out two statements,

one describing how you are grateful for it and

the other how you appreciate it into a greater frequency.

Which one feels better to you? How does the energy flow? How does your intuition respond?

Appreciation instead of gratitude, a new way to expand into the 5D ascension portals and move from trauma to triumph, from victim consciousness to empowered mastery, and out of the cycles of karma and pain into the joyful, joy-filled freedom of energetic wholeness and congruence.

Trauma, Energy and Emotional Black Holes

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 00:30:45 +0000

Have you ever been just sitting around, minding your own business, and then you get a phone call or text that sends you into an emotional tsunami? Suddenly your life, which you thought was just fine a minute before, is now in emotional overdrive and you are so upset, angry, unclear, or sad that you spiral into a negative emotional funk. Or you’re listening to the radio and a song plays that reminds you of your first heartbreak and you cry for days?

What just happened? Your emotional energy got set in motion because a connection was made to an emotional black hole which stirred up its energy and it sent you into a tailspin. Now you have to find the source of that emotional black hole and heal and release it so you can bring in new energies.

Emotional black holes are, contrary to what you may think, not places where we have no emotional energy. They are places in our emotional body where, like black holes in the universe, we have a concentration of very dense energy, a reservoir which contains all of our unhealed emotional trauma which is our soul wounds.

Our most painful emotional memories, in current and previous lives, represent our biggest emotional black holes, and they are powerful forces of dense, negative energy. And like black holes in space they drain energy away from everything in our lives. They can turn our best times into sad events because they are a constant reminder of a painful past. And they have strong trigger points that can be easily activated by the smallest event or situation.

Emotional black holes work in two ways – they suck in energy as we try to find an antidote for the pain we are feeling, and they alter our energy body so that all of our energy mirrors their energy. The greater the trauma, the more we are impacted by the frequency and vibration of our emotional black holes. Think of a giant vacuum cleaner that sucks all of the joy, peace, and good things from your life. Do you create the vacuum so you won't risk being disappointed if things don't work out for you? Emotional black hole trauma is based on past experience so they have a basis in fact and truth.

How do you know you have an emotional black hole?

1. you are easily triggered by anything that brings up this emotion.

2. You do a lot to avoid any interaction that refers to this emotional trauma.

3. You feel powerless and helpless when this happens, even to the point of detaching or fracturing yourself from your energy field when you get triggered.

4. You are immediately sent back to the past and to the experiences that created this trauma.

5. You may also have a vague memory of this trauma since it has been part of your past life experience for lifetimes but you aren’t clear about what it is, you just know that you are either afraid of that emotion, you avoid it, or you

And they are also the spaces we try to fill when we reach out for new relationships and look for people to love us. We hope they will fill the emotional black hole for us but, as you have probably already experienced, all they do is make the hole bigger because and they cannot give us something that we do not already have within us.

How does this work? Imagine you have a realationship history that includes dealing with betrayal by someone you trust. The trauma associated with betrayal creates an emotional black hole that will create trust issues and fear of betrayal in every situation. But you will also be attracted to people who will betray you because this is something you want to heal and you will try to do that with someone who is capable of betraying you. You’l repeat this behavior until you decide to do your own healing work by yourself, before engagine in a relationship.

We receive and process universal energy through our emotional body and we are moving energy around all of the time. But our emotional black holes are a constant reminder of the pain we can experience when we take emotional risks or open our hearts to the potential for love. So we create an energetic comfort zone and we move energy in small amounts and within the same frequency and vibration, usually around the energy of our emotional black holes.

Then when we need to actually make a big shift and transform our old emotional energy, which means acknowledging it and consciously and intentionally releasing it from our energy body so another energy can take its place, something must get our attention.

So we create a life event that allows us to see where we are limiting our energy movement and which energy requires a major multi-dimensional move instead of a tiny, comfortable displacement. And when we need to shift the energy of our emotional black holes, the reminders arrive in hard to ignore ways that trigger every aspect. But when we ask for a transformation we get what we need to power up the change-mobile. Now we just have to do the work to implement the change in our life.

This is where we either stand up or give up, where we must be willing to trust that we won’t fall if we try to soar into the joy, peace, love, and abundance that we want in our lives. Our emotional black holes drain us and create a strong negative vibration that impacts all of our energy. Releasing them allows more fulfilling energy to enter our energy fields and become integrated in our lives.

This is really important because your emotional black hole energy is so dense that it infiltrates every part of your life. It is not concentrated in a single area. If you have trust issues you’ll distrust everyone while at the same time giving your trust to the untrustworthy in an attempt to heal this emotion. If you have abuse issues you will

If this is more noticeable to you know it is because we are experiencing such high frequency and vibration energy downloads that all of our negative energy is being triggered and we need to be willing to release it to make room for a higher vibration. This is an important part of our ascension journey and being willing to do this level of healing, clearing, releasing, and transformation is a courageous step in that direction.

What To do When Everything Changes Or You Lose Everything

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 31 Oct 2020 19:15:15 +0000

What do you do when your life falls apart, you lose everything and have to start over? You find the clues in the past that point to the transformation you want to create and start moving towards it.

Dear Jennifer: In the past two years, I have lost everything, my job, my home, my friends and I barely speak to my family. Although I have been looking for a job, I can’t find one and I’m living with a friend now that I barely get along with. I don’t know what to do to fix my life and I’m having a hard time figuring out my next steps. How do I get my life back and how do I create the stable, secure and happy life that I want?

Jennifer’s Answer: What you are experiencing has been felt by so many people in the past 15 plus years and it is hard when everything in your life changes like this. Your response of sadness, fear and regret at these changes is keeping you stuck and preventing you from creating the new life that you want. Regretting the passing of the past is also enforcing the belief that this somehow happened to you and you are the victim, not the creator.

While it may be hard to find the energy and courage to see new possibilities for yourself, that is what you must do if anything in your life is going to transform. You may be wondering why this has happened to you, so let’s talk about the real reasons behind what has happened here.

Everything enters and leaves our life at our conscious or unconscious invitation, so it is not possible to actually ‘lose’ anything.

If we don’t appreciate or value what we have and secretly wish it would go away or consciously set an intention for something new, we disconnect our energy from our current reality and whatever must leave our life. It is leaving to create energetic space for something else to enter. This is what our intention does, it creates an energy container for the energy that will empower our intention to flow into.

To invite something else in, we have to create space for it by setting an intention for it. This process is what creates the in and out flow of people, situations, and experiences into and out of our life.

Imagine a revolving door, which is an interesting piece of engineering that was created at a time when public buildings were not heated. The revolving door allowed people to enter and to leave the building without any heat escape. What’s interesting about revolving doors, though, is the people are entering the building at the same time that people are leaving the building, it depends on which side of the revolving door they are on. I call what I’m going to explain to you my ‘revolving door transformation process’.

While we are grateful for what we have and appreciate every circumstance and situation, every life situation ‘run out of energy road’ meaning it holds no energy for us and while we’re trying to balance the energy with people and situations, by using the revolving door process we achieve closure with what we no longer resonate with and its outflow is graceful and effortless.

The empty space we have created with this release is then filled with the new things we have set our intention to receive. But when we feel angry and powerless, when we hate our life circumstances, and are upset with people and with ourselves, we create an energetic disconnection without first creating the space for the new to arrive.

Why does our life suddenly seem to fall apart and we ‘lose’ everything? I think there are 3 reasons, based on nearly 20 years of coaching, intuitive consults, and working with people from over 40 countries

1. It is time for us to move on and we aren’t paying attention to the signs.

2. We are following a path that is not right for us

3. We want to change but lack the courage to make a change

We can then find ourselves in the situation you are in, where everything seems to leave at once and our lives are empty.

What if we really like what we are doing and it just doesn’t work? I experienced that in my career. Always been intuitive, have a strong life transformation story, always

Some questions for you to consider are:

Did you like the job you had or were you frustrated, angry, and felt limited by it?
Did you like your friends or were they challenging and did not serve and support you in meaningful ways?
Are you harboring resentment and anger towards your family that you have yet to resolve with them or within yourself?
Do you have expectations about how your family interacts with you that they cannot meet because they are incapable of doing that, even if you think they are, or you are trying to get them to do what you want,

With the energy moving as quickly as it does now, responses to our desires can arrive very quickly. It doesn’t matter whether we are consciously or unconsciously wishing our lives would change, when we scatter our energy through anger, fear, and feeling powerless, we get incomplete results.

And something else to consider is the universal laws – I used to write about them a lot about 13 years ago and had a program called the 12 Universal laws. One of the laws, #6, is the Law of Cause and Effect. It’s my favorite because it states that ‘everything in our reality is an effect and we are the cause.’ This means that everything is a result of what we have created.

I know it doesn’t feel right that we would deliberately crash and burn our own lives or create havoc intentionally but we do, for our own reasons. That’s the topic for another podcast.

What I want to emphasize here is the universal law of cause and effect. If you are always the cause and your reality is always an effect or result, how do you change the effect? By changing the cause, by creating something different. Instead of feeling victimized by the effect (which you created) try altering your vibe, your words, beliefs, and actions to become a cause. We have two choices – become a different cause or become a victim of the effect. I would rather become a new cause, wouldn’t you?

See yourself as the creator of your reality, as the author of your world, so you pay attention to what you’re creating and start becoming more mindful of what you are

The Universe works with us, not for us. It will not create something for us that we do not or will not first create for ourselves. To fill your life with what you love, you must first give yourself closure with what you have allowed to leave your life (what you say you ‘lost’), which is no longer aligned with your energy or intention, by being grateful for it and appreciating what you have already created and the lessons it represents.

Then you need to start working with your intention to create something new for your life now. It may take some time but then again, you are ready for change so it may also happen very quickly. It depends on how willing you are to see yourself as powerful instead of powerless, how much you can accept that everyone is where they can be which may not be where you want them to be, forgive yourself and others and give yourself the closure you need to close these energetic connections to your ‘old’ life and create something new and wonderful in your life now.

You won’t get your old life back (you didn’t like it anyway or you would still have it) but you will create a new and more fulfilling life and learn the powerful lesson of how energy works and how powerfully it responds to you, so you practice gratitude and appreciation and use intention to create your life, instead of scattering your energy unconsciously and then find yourself in the fearful, empty space that you face when things fall apart, as you have experienced.

Settling for Less When we Want More

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 02:39:48 +0000

What does it mean to settle? It actually means to be satisfied but we put it in a much different context.

To settle usually means to accept less than what we originally wanted.

For example, in the law, a settlement is reached when the defendant agrees to a plaintiff’s terms to avoid a lengthy court battle or trial.

When we settle a home purchase we agree on a price and sign the documents.

When we settle in our lives, we accept a smaller or lesser solution rather than what we say we want. But is that true? We have to be able to envision an outcome before we can align with and integrate it. So when we say we ‘settle’ we’re actually allowing ourselves what we believe we can have, not what we may be able to get if we expand further into our field of potential.

In all of the cases of settling I have seen, this is true – we accept less than what we say we the reason you're not manifesting what you want is because you're so afraid it won't happen that you're willing to settle for what you can get.'

While this is true it is more compliated than that although the common thread in settling is the consequence or result of bringing new energy and otentials into our life.

There are many reasons why we do this, I will list the top 3 based on more than 20 years of working with clients

1. there are consequences to the result

2. we sabotage our efforts to avoid something else, something we do not want to do

3. cost will be too high, fear of success

Have you ever settled for what you thought you could get, instead of being willing to let something unfold fully to express a new potential for your life?

How do you avoid the temptation to settle for less than what you ask for?

Here are 3 things to consider:

1. Every transformation comes with a cost and a price.

The cost could be leaving something behind, changing our life in a significant way, or disappointing the people in our lives.

The price we have to pay is our willingness to allow that to happen. Sometimes the price is too high, too scary, or we just aren’t ready. That’s when we settle. And that’s OK.

2. The fear of abandonment and rejection is very real and that is why we settle. While we may want to make a change, our fear of how others respond to our transformation compels us to make an acceptable compromise that keeps us in their good graces. We justify settling by telling ourselves that we need those relationships – and if we are willing to settle, that is true.

3. If we aren’t ready to align with and integrate a new potential that takes us way out of our comfort zone, we’ll settle for something less. We may blame it on something else, like being there for someone, or needing to finish something, or finding fault with what we want to manifest. The truth is that while we may want a change, we just aren’t ready for it at that time.

Settling isn’t something we should shame ourselves over, it is our way of reconciling what we want with what we are willing and ready to achieve. And while we may have big dreams, the reality space that we have to fit them into and the energy container we currently possess just isn’t ready for it.

We can try again later when we can expand our view of our potential, align with the beliefs we need to integrate that potential, and then allow it to happen. In the meantime, settling is how we allow just enough of our dreams to keep us moving forward.

And that’s OK because in the famous words of Scarlett O’Hara, tomorrow is another day.

Healing Cycles, Energy Trauma, and Filling Energy Gaps

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 02:37:15 +0000

Have you ever met someone and instantly liked or disliked them?

How about the time you instantly ‘fell in love’ with someone?

Or something someone says or does sets you off into a depressive funk that you take days or weeks to get over?

That’s all part of the healing cycles and those moments of connection are important points of intersection and decision. They are how we work through our energy trauma, fill our energy gaps, and decide whether we are going to be karma-free or not.

Healing path is either to get ‘fixed’ yourself or ‘fix’ someone or to get completion and closure

Getting fixed is avenging your karma - you have something to prove to yourself and to others

You want to go through the process again with someone to get control over the process

So you choose a karmic partner who is going to give you that experience because they have that energy imprint.

Feeling broken or victimized? You’ll find a friend, partner, neighbor, or job situation, or neighborhood that is broken or victimized.

How to stop the healing cycle.

Make a decision at the choice point – do I go forward with this or not?

It’s tempting to try ‘one more time’ it’s a gamble we make every day even if we’r enot the gambling type

This is a battle between our emotions and our spirit – who is going to win? Usually it’s the emotions

Healing cycles are an addiction (repeat) to fixing the past, vindicating your suffering, finding a resolution to the question of ‘why did they do that’?

If you can get someone to not do it then you’ll feel vindicated, they could have made a different choice.

Vindication means fixing it for you

Revenge means you ‘win’, you not only survived, you managed to fix or heal someone else just like them.

Karmic cycles follow many lifetimes and we can understand these healing cycles in the context of our karma

We can ask the following questions to get insight about how our healing cycles and karma intersect in our relationships:

How many times have we done this before?
What are we trying to accomplish?
What is our end goal?
Who are we trying to heal?
What are we really trying to do?
What happens next?

Healing cycles are an invitation to repeat karma or step out on a new path.

It’s not easy giving up the desire to avenge your trauma, un-victimize yourself by winning at the karma game, get vindication or even revenge. But it is the only way to release the pain and trauma of the past, to jump out of the rut of healing cycles, and to create relationships that are focused on our highest potential, and are joyful and joy-filled.

See the Divine, Deal with the Human

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 20:09:57 +0000

We can acknowledge someone's divinity and hope they express their highest potential while also acknowledging that they make act through their lower vibes. Ignoring bad behavior while hoping someone will change can lead to a lot of heartache.

In this episode you'll learn how we can protect ourselves from being disappointed by acknowledging that humanity is, well, human and divinity is a choice.

One of our most challenging lessons is to accept others as they are and then make our own choices accordingly. Everyone is divine, we all have the same Source connection, and we are all connected to each other.

But each of us expresses the balance of human and divine in different ways. Seeing someone as divine and ignoring what their human aspect is doing is, to be honest, just silly. And those who insist that the world is full of sweetness and light and everything else can be ignored are not living in reality.

Although I first wrote this article in February 2013, it has been one of my most requested, most shared, and most loved articles as everyone can relate to this situation and we have all had relationships where we had big expectations for someone to become who or what wanted and were willing to ignore bad behavior because we just knew that their divine self would show up one day.

5 Signs You're Bored with Your Life

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 12:00:04 +0000

I used to think being bored meant I needed to find something to do. But being bored with your life isn't going to get solved by finding something else to do, you are looking for something else to be or to become.

Here are five signs that you are bored with your life and it’s time to raise your vibes:

1. You dread doing certain things, or maybe everything, because it feels like it’s too much work or you know you won’t like the result.

2. What once made you happy doesn’t bring you as much joy any more, or maybe even no joy at all.

3. You have a hard time forcing yourself to do the things you feel you ‘should’ be doing, even if you keep telling yourself you should do them because they’re important.

4. You find that you are missing appointments, forgetting commitments, arriving late and wanting to leave early, or finding excuses to avoid doing things.

5. You are ready to take off and leave it all behind and even if you know you won’t do that, it’s something you think about.

Boredom is a tug of war between the mind and the spirit, an invitation to find another way to ‘be’, instead of finding something else to do.

So the next time you're feeling bored with your life, consider that new potentials are knocking on the portal of your awareness and consider listening to them.

Move the Needle or Change the Record of the Past

support@enlighteninglife.com (Jennifer Hoffman) — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 01:52:33 +0000

It isn’t helpful to waste time regretting the past. The past is unchangeable and is its own reality where we can spend the rest of our life in endless trauma feedback loops or we can use it as a stepping stone into a new, more empowered, expanded reality. The deciding factor is whether we’re going to ‘move the needle’orchange the record.

You’ll understand those phrases better if you remember vinyl records and record players.

Our spiritual guidance responds to our need for signs and confirmation by giving them to us, sometimes in unexpected ways. Have you seen the same numbers everywhere, or heard a particular song on the radio, or hear different people talking about the same topic?

You're getting a sign and confirmation.

In this podcast I talk about 5 signs you're getting a sign and how to recognize and know that signs and confirmation are coming to you in response to your request for them.
