Divine Love Transmission Through Sarah McLachlan’s Song, “Angel” (Video)

by Kasha Rokshana

Whenever I hear, sing, feel this song lately, I feel not only my own soul’s heartache and hope for what’s happening in the world, but I also feel the Divine holding out its arms in invitation to all who are ready to let in more love and support at this and any time.

I felt to share this song with you in my own voice (a very vulnerable thing for parts of me!) and I truly hope that the message/transmission of Divine love lands deeply in your heart, parts, aspects who may be suffering or simply feeling a ton right now.

Love,

Kasha

Becoming A Lighthouse Serving Love As A Beacon For Humanity

By Jelelle Awen

For a couple of years, I had been receiving the imagery of a lighthouse up on a cliff with a stretch of beach as ‘refuge’ and crashing and rough seas below. We even used this imagery during group meditation calls in which the beach was replaced by a battlefield of polarized energies representing the bifurcation going on in humanity. We invited any ‘lost parts’ and wounded healers who were lost at sea or on the battlefield to join us up in the lighthouse.

The invitation from my Divine/Higher Self has been to truly BECOME this lighthouse and beacon for myself, my community, and for humanity. In this lighthouse energy, there isn’t a sacrificial healer who runs down into the ocean to ‘save and rescue’ anyone there. There isn’t climbing down the cliff to meet anyone ‘halfway’ and do the ‘work’ or healing for them.

Yet, rather, it is about remaining in the lighthouse, in the higher frequency, in the possibilities. And, to not abandon the beacon of safety that the lighthouse offers in order to ‘feel better’ for any kind of ego gratification achieved from an immediate rescue…..yet humbly wait with patience and trust for those who are truly ready to HEAL THEMSELVES.

My pattern (in my soul and in this life) was to become too much this kind of sacrificial healer and disconnect from my own needs, desires, energy, and TRUE feelings/truth as well. I would so deeply feel the person’s suffering and pain, especially of the young parts like the Inner Child, and hold too much of that in a way that was caretaking them, continuing service relationships too long beyond a place that was beneficial for both, and not being challenging enough when needed.

To become the lighthouse is to trust that those souls meant to be drawn in resonance AND reverence will be, with their sovereignty in tact and soul’s choice (and their Gatekeeper’s choice) leading them and yet too you ‘get’ to be yourself in every way that is authentic.

These soul family members will find and be drawn to the lighthouse energies as a means of temporary reflection of THEIR bigness and their light. They will then be ready to leave (to large degree) the suffering patterns and loops that have kept them stuck, suffering, in pain, feeling unworthy, and in fog/confusion for many lifetimes. The souls who are becoming complete with the churny seas of the Matrix reality and the rough waters of the seemingly never ending karmic cycle will lead the process themselves and all you are really doing is supporting and guiding when needed.

I now have the ongoing sense in sessions and in group calls of becoming this lighthouse. There is a renewed feeling of being grounded in Divine Mother’s heart and in my center, serving from there with transparency, being current, and direct with care…..even challenging if needed with lots of love and compassion. I can then open up with the Divine a higher dimensional safe space where the magical merging of chakras, soul fields, hearts, and wombs/haras happens just by closing our eyes and ‘going in’ together. In this space, there is quantum healing occurring on both the deeper personal levels and collectively as well.

During this communion during ‘sessions’, I may offer intuitions or insights that come in or channel soul/star family as needed….but truly it is a collaboration between me and the healer/higher self in that person. It is not a ‘reading’ in the typical sense at all, as what really empowers the healing of heart and soul is the discoveries made by YOU, not someone telling you information that you may or may not be ready to receive or even meant to receive yet.

We invite your Inner Protector and Gatekeeper to open up the spaces and access that is truly ready without bypassing them in any way. This allows much more opening and acceptance AND quantum healing/completions of deep patterns as the ‘defenses’ allow and amplify it.

I have received the message many times that I ‘get to stay’ in a frequency where I feel comfortable in service, a self loving and self worth based frequency I have earned through humble worthiness embodiment that has taken many lifetimes to be able to access and transmit in this life through the SoulFullHeart process. And I am always reminded that this is possible only because the Divine allows it and supports it…and to surrender and let go of it as well when guided, as I have in the past.

I get then to invite those who are ready, who are drawn, and who are wanting to leave behind and TRULY complete the suffering that they’ve experienced as human in the Matrix reality through accessing the bigness I AM Divine essence remembrance from other lifetimes. I am sharing this message with you as if feels like so many previously ‘wounded healers’ are ready to move even more into service from a place of self worth and self love yet also connected humbly to the Divine.

It was so interesting then to have received this image and dimensional reality/transmission of the lighthouse for so long and then to actually BE standing in the exact spot in the physical recently. The lighthouse in the pic below is positioned on an ancient fort on a cliff hovering over the Atlantic Ocean near Nazare, Portugal. It has been a beacon for hundreds of years of safe habor for those sailors needing it, literally saving their lives just by existing and shining a light. This lighthouse is situated above a coastline that produces the largest waves in the world and is considering one of the most dangerous spots as well.

Yet, standing there by the lighthouse on that windswept cliff with the memory of the massive crashing and booming waves in the energy field of the place, I felt only a sense of safety, of purpose, and of ‘coming home’. I felt chills/God bumps at how, once again, the Divine had offered me something in etheric form first so I could calibrate and negotiate receiving it before experiencing it in the physical.

And now, I can go to this place that is rooted in the physical yet accessible in the etheric any time I want. And there are no people/crowds there or 3D energies around!

You ARE a lighthouse too. You ARE a beacon for those who need safe passage through the rough Matrix waters. You ARE a light in the dark for those who are ready to see and receive it.

Tune into what diminishes your light and WHY it does. Connect with the parts/soul aspects who are still in rescuer and savior mode with clients, mates, friends and family. Negotiate and offer these parts/aspects with Divine support a NEW way of being in loving service without the sacrifice and suffering.

The codes for this new paradigm of healing are coming in strong now, esp during this Lion’s Gate portal, and with much dark being revealed in so many teachers/healers and offerings to be transmuted by light.

If you feel drawn to experience this lighthouse communion of Divine Selves for yourself in which YOUR bigness/access/intuitions come alive and are fully supported while bridging to the parts/aspects in the most need, we offer a free intro call prior to 1:1 sessions over zoom for $77 USD. There is more info about meeting with me or Kasha for women, or Raphael and Gabriel for men and women at soulfullheart.org/sessions

Love from and as the lighthouse,

SoulFullHeart Museletter: May 29, 2022

It’s always been important to feel how our spirituality and humanity are so interconnected and can’t ever truly be separate, yet when different events happen in the world, such as the recent school shooting in Texas, we’re invited even deeper into feeling our human response as well as our spiritual context.

Featured this week is a piece from Gabriel Amara’s heart, offering that we all have an invitation from the Divine to feel our reactions to this shooting and anything else that happens in our outer world, letting it move through our hearts rather than be bypassed or even medicated with ‘solutions’.

Jelelle Awen has a new video this week featuring the quartz crystal sound bowls and a chakra/heart/body clearing sound bath.

Gabriel and Kasha have two new episodes of the SoulFullHeart Current Podcast they’ve released now, talking about bridging your humanity and spirituality and the process that often is, as well as the Inner Teenager and their role(s) they have often played in your inner and outer worlds.

There are a few new writings to take in as well, including an energy update about the Pleaidian Portal that just moved through, personal digestions from Jelelle around her process of transitioning to living primarily on light/Prana, and other offerings from us about different perspectives through which you can begin to see, experience, and feel your life and personal journey.

You can find our current Museletter here.

Are You Willing To Live, Be, Trust?: Transmission Of Support From The Magdalenes/Soul Family

by Kasha Rokshana

For all your brilliance,
Are you willing to also live it out?

For all your wittiness,
Are you willing to be in the unknown?

For all your fire,
Are you willing to soak in still waters?

For all your empathy,
Are you willing to also have compassion?

For all your mistrust,
Are you willing to feel what trust may offer?

For all your compliance,
Are you willing to dig deeper and ask ‘why’?

For all your belonging,
Are you willing to risk standing alone?

…these questions we ask without judgement
To serve and bolster your deeper awakenings,
Your Divine Self’s deeper embodiment,
And the discovery of who you are,
Who you always were,
Yet chose to forget.

Here to serve your upliftment, we are.
As we also hold you in your downtrodden states.

Here to love you, always, we are.
Even in those questioning moments
Where it feels like love cannot possibly exist.

You are embraced
Held
Loved beyond measure of fame, fortune or wisdom.

Loved even in your compliance to the structures that lay dying,

Loved even in the foggy times of unknown choices,

Loved as much in your dying times as your alive times.

With so much of your truest essence in our hearts…
Love,

Your Soul Family/The Magdalenes

(W/ Kasha Rokshana)

I feel this landing in my own heart as a way to remember compassion for myself and all souls at all times. We’re walking out what we came to walk out, and it’s truly up to all of us to choose what we are ready to embody next… with no judgement from those who came before us and support us through it all.

Seeking To Understand Rather Than To Fight

By Jelelle Awen

“When you seek to fight that which you don’t understand or fear inside yourself and with others, it will come back again with each new form worse. If you seek instead to compassionately understand, you can mutually discover your truer purpose of serving love,” Yeshua and the Magdalenes

This message came through two years ago, when I was just initially exploring my Christ/Magdalene lineage. In their lifetime, the Magdalenes could have felt highly persecuted, heavy with revenge and hatred in their hearts towards those that harmed them, especially with the crucifixion of Yeshua and murder of others. Yet, repeatedly and ongoingly, they (including Yeshua in light body form) held forgiveness in their hearts and saw every ‘player’ serving a part in the Divine unfolding to seed Ascension consciousness.

They sought to understand rather than judge. They felt ALL were serving love in the form chosen by them and the Divine. This allowed them to forgive eventually and even appreciate those who served the necessary and difficult darker roles.

I feel the truth and invitation in each word….both inside and out. Becoming a love ambassador to ANY and ALL energies within us, helping create a bridge to invite those aspects in shadow (often stuck in shame and blame cycles) plus karmic loops, this IS the embodiment of Christ consciousness within us. This is how the true Divine loves us and how we can receive that love.

These words feel even more true now with our ongoing experience of the Matrix narrative taking us into increasingly polarized places.

We can become more divisive, taking sides, resisting and judging both inside of us and outside of us. Or, we can seek to compassionately understand ALL through the Divine’s heart. Inner peace is experienced from this state.

Outer peace is seeded from it too. ❤️🌹

Love,

Jelelle Awen

A Love Story: Part Four (Enter At Your Own Risk)

By Raianna Shai

I finally made it to part four of my love story series! This is a full on post instead of a poem, so I’ll keep this preface short and sweet.

I had a moment last year while trying to rediscover myself and my purpose when I realized that the part of me that I’ve judged and kept protected is actually one of my greatest gifts. I’ve been so held back by fear of my own emotions and what other people may think of me that it’s been so hard to let myself just be honest and real.

Even when I would share my feelings in a relationship, I would try to soften it to not make it sound “too much” or “too unfair”. But I’m finally reaching the point of realizing that risking judgement and blowing up a relationship is worth it when your truth could actually bring you and the other person into something new and meaningful. Yes, truth can hurt and harm others – but so can holding it back. At least the former allows you both the opportunity to show up and grow into new ground.

———————————————————————

A Love Story: Part Four
Enter At Your Own Risk

So much of our lives are spent worrying and fearing what might happen. We close ourselves off knowing we could potentially be hurt if we don’t. We don’t tell people how we feel, we don’t open up our hearts to one another, we don’t commit to something that means a lot to us, we sabotage ourselves in the name of safety, comfort and preservation.

But when I think of all those beautiful moments in life that we’re constantly searching for – have we ever gotten there without risk? Have you ever fallen in love without being vulnerable? Or felt a deep sense of connection with someone without the risk of being rejected or judged? Has there ever been a moment of true and real emotion that hasn’t come with an underlying fear of abandonment?

We try so hard to avoid the mess – the heartbreak, the judgement from others, criticism – but with that, we avoid the bliss.

Something I’ve realized about myself over the last few months is that I am incredibly sensitive and emotional and for maybe the first moment in my life I 100% love that part of me. I’ve spent so long worrying that I would be seen as too much, as pushing people in my life to be someone they’re not in order to match me, as being overly sensitive and insecure. Insecurity can come with sensitivity but so can strength.

When I let myself be me, I have the strength to sit with someone and pour my heart out to them. I have the strength to feel my feelings on full blast without having a wall up to protect myself from others. I have the strength to love with such depth that I genuinely worry I’ll get lost in it.

And sometimes I do. Sometimes I forget how beautiful my heart is and how much it deserves to be loved back just as powerfully. I just want to be seen and felt in all my glory.

Love,
Raianna Shai

Your I AM 5D Divine Self Essence Guided Meditation: Video 17 – Deepen 2022 (Video) | Raphael & Jelelle Awen

In this seventeenth video of our 31 day video series called Deepen 2022, SoulFullHeart Teachers/Co-Creators Raphael and Jelelle Awen share about what we mean by becoming your I AM 5D Divine Self. We talk about the 3D, 4D, and 5D selves and the qualities such as gratitude, forgiveness, compassion, curiosity, openness, joy, willingness to feel, etc. that are the essence of the 5D Self.

We share about how the I AM is an invitation for embodiment of the Divine within you and not looking to an ‘outside’ source to experience and bridge to the Divine, as has been offered by the False Light Matrix. This is a process of transmutation from the ‘ground up’ of your 3D self meeting the higher dimensional aspects of 5D and higher in a middle place.

In the guided meditation, your Gatekeeper joins you on an exploration to raise your frequency by climbing up stairs to a higher dimensional space. Once you reach the higher 5D space, your 5D Divine Self is invited to come in, along with any higher dimensional soul aspects or star/soul family members.

A Love Story: Part Two (Falling In Love)

By Raianna Shai

The next part of this story is the part that we tend to spend our lives looking for: falling in love. The new and exciting rush of meeting someone that has an equal interest in us as we do in them. A new pair of eyes to see you, new ears to hear your passions and desires, new hands to touch the lonely and unloved parts of you inside and out. It sparks a hope in us that nothing like love can. We hope that this person will be the one we can grow with, who will understand us and treat us the way we’ve always dreamed of being treated.

More importantly than this outside love is what it sparks inside of us. It can allow us to love ourselves more than ever before while also bringing up our deepest insecurities. We begin by showing the brightest and shiniest parts of ourselves, hoping that will win them over. The way we enter a relationship is so telling of where we are at on the inside.

I remember the moment I wrote this poem, sitting under a tree staring out at the water. I felt elated and overcome by pure hope and love. I looked up at the leaves and they looked brighter than usual, almost as if they were glowing. In that moment I remembered feeling this way before. And then I remembered it fading and eventually leaving me completely. But it didn’t matter. Feeling it again reminded me of why we continue to search for this feeling over and over again even when it leads to pain or heartbreak.

This feeling is a reminder of what we are capable of feeling, with or without another person. All someone else can do is illuminate what’s possible in our own hearts and souls. Each relationship gets us closer and closer to this feeling of ecstasy and love inside of ourselves and without another person. We can feel this way with the divine, with our own inner parts, with our inner sacred union.

Without heartbreak, shadow and pain we cannot understand what it truly feels like to be in love and peace from the inside out. 💛

———————————————————————

A Love Story: Part Two
Falling In Love

This feeling of falling in love
With you and
With every part of me
Is like coming home

This is what my soul knows
What it’s been waiting to come back to
To feeling nourished
To feeling loved from the inside out
To loving the outside in

I see your face and smile
And even if it doesn’t work out
This feeling right here, right now
Is worth it all
This is what it’s all about

Freezing this moment and remembering
This is what we work so hard to get back to
This is why we dive deep
This is why we feel our shadow

A Love Story: Part One (Heartbreak & Healing)

By Raianna Shai

I woke up this morning with the urge to create through writing but couldn’t quite figure out what I wanted to write about. I started scrolling through the notes in my phone and found several writings I wrote over the past two years that really brought me back to the moment and phase they were written. Interestingly, I found 6 pieces that seemed to represent a cycle from beginning to end and back to the beginning again.

This cycle in particular represented the phase of the ending of a relationship, to the beginning of a new one, to the end once again. It felt like a really beautiful arc of letting in and letting go and everything that goes on in between. I felt myself recognizing the patterns of relationships and realizing that even when things come to an end, they are so worth the journey in and out.

This isn’t just true for romantic relationships but for careers, geographical moves, finding your soul purpose, healing a trauma and moving into your next phase of growth. As humans, we continually go through cycles in every part of our lives and the only thing we can do is become conscious of them. After a death of a phase you may wonder, what’s the point? But looking back you may notice how much has changed from beginning to end.

Falling in love is beautiful, messy, painful, exhilarating and everything in between but just like any other death and rebirth, it’s so important in facilitating our growth. Each layer brings new realizations and understanding of what it means to find love and purpose in these human and divine lives of ours. We cannot exist without cycles, for without them we cannot understand the gift of being human.

To show what I mean I thought I would share these 6 writings as a marker of each layer that these cycles can illuminate and provide. Particularly in the context of relationships. The first one I felt to share is both the ending of one relationship and the beginning of another. Marking the phase of overlapping death and rebirth ❤️

———————————————————————

A Love Story: Part One
Heartbreak & Healing

I sit here
Gathering the pieces of my heart
Trying to glue them back together
The mismatched edges
And sharp corners
Almost fitting perfectly
And then not at all

You wait there
Patiently watching my broken pieces
That long for that perfect edge’s embrace
Slowly come together
All the while knowing
That one day I will come

I will come with just enough pieces
To hold together the contents of my love
When I am still chipped, but no longer broken

You are there
With your chipped pieces
Already glued together
With as much accuracy as truth can allow

And we come together
Look at that!
Our broken pieces create a mosaic of lost loves and tearful goodbyes
Not perfect, but beautiful all the same

Love,

Divine Mother Message Of Support During This V. Bioweapon Narrative

By Jelelle Awen

I am continuing to digest the ongoing V. reactions/injuries/deaths and the stories that are increasingly coming out as more people are impacted by them. I spent some time taking in the FB hashtags #protectmyfamily #protectyourfamilies, #stopthemandate which now have a flow of sharings that are deeply compelling and convincing as to the true story of what is going on during this V. narrative, especially from the nurses who are quitting their long-term beloved positions rather than give in to the pressure/mandate of getting a bioweapon shot that they are seeing first hand can be lethal.

I feel alarm at times with the mounting restrictions and mandates that are taking away basic human ‘rights’ and body sovereignty choices that we have so long assumed would always be respected. There is a sense of sadness at the seeming deeper separations happening between one ‘side’ and the other as people are divided in often polarizing ways.

My heart and womb so heavily feels the cries of the world in these moments. Sometimes all I can do is weep for the suffering of so many right now, both those who know what is going on and those who remain needing to be veiled. A sense of helplessness can move through my soul in those moments, triggered by so long choosing incarnations during this Matrix phase of humanity’s process.
I am leaning into my beloved SoulFullHeart process to access the soul aspects (including a wise woman/witch, priestess, Divine Orphan, etc.) and the karmic healing that is needing feeling, negotiating and BEing with in order to feel worthy to let in MORE Divine love and support. Not eating food/fasting for the last two weeks is deepening that access, lifting the veils, activating more light body, allowing for detox/unplugging from Matrix foods.

As I tune into what I call the ‘Graceland’ or the Frequency Field of Divine Mother Love, I can access a trust around the sorting through process that is happening for each soul during this grand drama. I can feel the soul choice that all of us have signed up for with this unique experience and the pressure cooker that it offers of growth.

I understand that we needed the false womb AI Matrix and this ‘fall from Grace’ to experience another aspect of ourselves…only to return inevitably back to the Divine womb again. I feel support on ALL levels from the Divine and my soul/higher self to be here during this time, to continue to find an inner sanctuary within, and keep surrendering to Divine Trust around it ALL.


I AM a beacon of hope, possibility, and light on the other side of this darkness for all of humanity, yet, also, that is available in any moment from within. And, so Divine Mother would offer, so are YOU.

I feel then the TRUTH of our unity and infinity, both of which are being temporarily obscured by division and limitation.

Divine Mother has repeatedly offered to me this message and I share it with you now,

“Be the light.

Be the love.

Be the infinite source of the Divine that you ARE.

This is your greatest service to humanity in this moment.

This is your greatest service WITH me during this temporary darkness and death/rebirth process.

Return to me whenever you need to…..into my womb and into my unconditional embrace. Return to regroup and re-energize. Return to cry and mourn. Return to FEEL whatever you need to feel within your soul.

Remember that you are NEVER truly alone as I am always with you and I have NEVER abandoned you even when you choose to turn away from me.

Remember that separation is always a temporary illusion CHOSEN by the soul to experience.

Remember that you ARE a powerful creator of a higher timeline reality that is not victim to the current external circumstances.

And in this remembering, may you embody your essence of the Divine within you. I love you always and in ALL ways,

Your Divine Mother
