"What do you want for Christmas, James?"

"Notice the fullness of the moon. It is quite spectacular. In that fullness there is a completion, just like there is a completion in a sunset, and now the moon has already has started to wane."

I asked each of my animals what they were grateful for. Here are their responses!

You can't force the letting go. But, you can create space for it. Sometimes we need to hold onto things. We can hold on until we are ready to let them go. That's ok. When the road forward is unclear, sometimes we just wait.

Would you like your very own channeled message from James? James is ready to deliver!

"It's not so much that I hear it with my ears, although sometimes I can and that's really neat-o, but usually it is like a little dance of elemental vibrations in the air that I hear with all of me and that I feel a part of. It is like we are all singing through vibration as different forms, different bodies, but it is silent."

A few weeks ago I took my dog Pepper on her annual hiking vacation. We have been doing these hiking vacations for years. They started when Pepper was just three or four years old. My neighbor friend had a condo in Mount Crested Butte. So every year Pepper and I would make that our base camp for our long hikes in the Maroon Bells. A feral pup before I rescued her from death row, Pepper has always seemed most at home in the mountains.

There is a healing power for the soul in the sound of the rain.

"Go slow. Watch and observe everything. There is much to be learned from observation. It's a trait many humans lack. Most humans are too busy talking. And, just too dang busy. Equestrians, too. It gets in the way of true partnership with us. Equestrians say they want to partner with us. But, they have no idea how to partner! They are too busy with their bodies to ever listen to what we are saying. True partnership is listening."

Time is an illusion, really. We slow it down when we slow. That's the trick. We can play with time. We can bend it like hot metal. We influence time by becoming the right conditions for us to mold it.

Allow time for memories to surface. Some memories might be surprising. But, let these memories appear and allow your body to filter and release them. It doesn't matter if they are "good" or "bad." There's a synthesizing of energies across time and space that our bodies are having to adjust to. It's hard to explain. It's part of the quickening that many of your folks have heard about.

Ishe Abel wanted to know why her horse bucked during a training session with a hired trainer. Ishe reached out to me for an animal communication session, and we recorded it as one of her podcasts. In this podcast video, you'll get a sneak peek into what a pet psychic session can be like. And, you'll learn one little horse's perspective on being ridden, his training, and what he likes about being with his human Mom.

James' message had a different tone today than many of his messages. The energy behind his message seemed as significant as his words. It felt serious and somehow monumental.

"When you come fully into stillness and silence, the right doorway to action will open. I don't move my feet until I am ready."

"Asha's talents, skills and way of being so fascinated me that I had to know more."

Try not to get caught up in the whirlwind or the tornado. We have to go with it, but we must remain grounded, too.

The energies from the cosmos might have a start and stop quality to you. Try not to fight it. When the energy is there, go with it, enjoy...

I like when the snow sparkles in the sun. When I’m toasty warm under my blankets and coats, my muscles relax and I can enjoy the stillness.

"Hold hands with the ones who hold you up. Rise with your tribe. When everyone shines their light the world will be very bright."

It's time to rest. People are pushing too much, trying to make something happen. Observe what nature is doing.
