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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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 energyHow we express our spiritual energyHow 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.Read the rest of this article on the website at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of this article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.You can read the rest of the article on the blog page at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.comAnd find the Peau D'ange Skin Care products at femmeforcenow.com - and get your free beauty guide Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

Na series als De Luizenmoeder, Dokter Tinus en Deep Shit kent iedereen actrice en presentatrice Jennifer Hoffman. Precies 25 jaar geleden leerden televisiekijkers haar kennen door de rol van Sam de Graaf in de populaire soap Westenwind. Een productie waarin ze min of meer per toeval terechtkwam. Het bleek voor de toen jonge Jennifer een harde leerschool in een volwassen wereld. Inmiddels heeft ze een indrukwekkend cv opgebouwd met vooral series en films. Haar liefde voor acteren sluimerde al als jong meisje, maar bloeide op tijdens dramalessen op de middelbare school. Naar de toneelschool durfde ze echter niet: “Ik had niets meegemaakt, was niet seksueel misbruikt en had geen alcoholistische vader, dus ik dacht: met zo'n gelukkige jeugd kom je niet binnen, en anders maken ze me wel kapot. Daar was ik veel te bang voor.”

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.https://enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the celebrated and world famous enlightening life blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of this article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.

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.read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

Women make up just 34% of the workforce in professional STEM fields. In college, too, women are underrepresented: about 21% of engineering majors are women and around 19% of computer and information science majors are women. So, the question is: Why does this happen? Are women just less interested in these fields? Jennifer Hoffman, Shannon Murphy and Robin Tinghitella, all faculty in the University of Denver's College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, answer that question with a resounding “NO.” Together at DU, Shannon, Jennifer and Robin co-host science summer camps for middle-school girls. And they are not only providing opportunities for girls to become acquainted with STEM fields, they're also studying the campers' relationships to science.   In a recently published paper, the trio, along with outside colleagues, examine the effects of these science summer camps on girls' relationship with science and their scientific self-efficacy by asking the girls a series of questions before and after their camp experiences. In this episode, Emma chats with the three female scientists about their experiences as women in STEM and why it's so important to get girls interested in the sciences early in life. Jennifer Hoffman is a professor of physics and astronomy in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Denver. She holds the Womble Chair of Astronomy and directs DU's historic Chamberlin Observatory. Her research interests focus on the late stages of massive stellar evolution, in particular on the role of binary stars in shaping supernova explosions. Hoffman uses a combination of observational spectropolarimetry and 3-D computational modeling to explore these research questions. She sees her roles as an educator and mentor as a vital part of her scholarship. In all these arenas, Hoffman works to expand opportunities and remove barriers to participation in physics and astronomy for people from historically underrepresented groups. Robin Tinghitella is an associate professor of biological sciences in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Denver. As a behavioral ecologist, she works to understand how rapidly changing environments alter animal communication, particularly interactions between males and females. Researchers in her animal behavior lab use both insect and fish model systems and are supported by the National Science Foundation, the Morris Animal Foundation, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the Animal Behavior Society (amongst others).  Shannon Murphy is a professor of biological sciences in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Denver. She studies the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and insects. Murphy works side by side with students to investigate how these plant-insect interactions are affected by global change. She works closely with undergraduate and graduate students to both teach them about and study the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and insects, and together they investigate how these interactions are affected by global change. More Information: “STEM Summer Camp for Girls Positively Affects Self-Efficacy" by E.

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.Read the entire article on the website at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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.

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.read the rest of this article on Jennifer's blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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

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.

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.

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.Read the rest of this article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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. Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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. Read the rest of the article on the website at https://enlighteninglife.com/access-dream-treasure/ Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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. Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com  Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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. Read the rest of the article at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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. Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com  Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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. Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.comLearn more about the Unbreakable program for energy mastery, control, and sovereignty at enlighteninglife.com/unbreakable.  Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions

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. Read the rest of the article on the website at enlighteninglife.com

 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.Read the full article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com 

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.  You can read the rest of the article on the website at enlighteninglife.com.

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.Get the rest of the October Energy Report article at the enlighteninglife.com website.

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.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com
