Mindfulness in 2006
Sasha through Lyssa Royal Holt
September 2005

Greetings to you, friends! This is Sasha. Though we are
looking ahead to your year 2006, we do want to discuss
several things with you that affect your choices for 2006.
The first thing we would like to talk about has to do with
the changes in the frequency of your reality and how this is
affecting the mass consciousness and individuals on your
planet. As you’ve noticed, over the past few years, there has
been an increase in stress levels planetwide. Many people
have talked about feeling suffocated with too many burdens,
too many things, too many . . . too many . . . too many, too
much . . . too much . . . too much.

This is affecting the Earth changes going on now. It is
affecting the inner Earth changes that individuals go
through, a shaking and a tumbling of the paradigm within
you. There is a lot going on. Where is this leading to in the
next year and beyond?

We can liken the increase in energy that has happened in
the past twenty years—and is still increasing, to 2012—to the
progression on a golden mean spiral. The 2012 point that is
talked about in the Mayan material represents an implosion
point where you break the plane of one reality and move into
another. Many people have interpreted this to mean things
like: “The world is going to disappear,” or “Only natural
things will survive,” or “We will be lifted off in a spaceship”
and so on. You’ve heard all of this before. We would say that
it is nothing quite so dramatic. But there is definitely an
energetic implosion point coming, and you are all feeling it
deep within you.

Imagine a progression along a golden mean spiral. The spiral begins to wind itself tighter. As you get into the inner circles of the spiral, it appears as if it is moving more quickly. Let’s say that spiral is like a roller coaster. If you are in the car riding the spiral, at the outer rungs of the spiral, you may appear to be going somewhat slowly. But as you start traveling in the tight spiral, you
might get a little bit dizzy because of the increase in speed.
Energetically, your civilization—as has been prophesied in
the Mayan teachings—is about to make an energetic transformation.

How that manifests in the world will be entirely up to you, because everything always first manifests on the inside
before it manifests on the outside. So if enough humans are
able to ride the roller coaster without “freaking out” and while
maintaining a sense of center, then the transition itself will be
a lot smoother. This is similar to the idea of Sufi whirling—
you have to maintain the center in order to whirl. If you do
not, you knock yourself against a wall. So how do you maintain
your center amidst this intense increase in energy?

THE IMPORTANCE OF MINDFULNESS

Several years ago, we did a channeling we called
“Holographic Mindfulness.” Let us go back to some of those
ideas, especially that of mindfulness. Even though this is an
ancient teaching from the East on your world, there are
aspects of that teaching that are absolutely, positively essential
for navigating along this tightly woven spiral at this point
in time and in the near future. Let us give you a definition of
mindfulness from our point of view. These types of concepts
are difficult to put into words because they were never meant
to be understood by the mind. Therefore, they often defy
definition and are meant to be experienced rather than
understood. But we will give it a try!

Mindfulness is allowing yourself to always stay present in
your body, with what you are doing in the moment. A very
obvious example of this is the Buddhist walking meditation,
in which you walk slowly in a meditative state and repeat “I
am walking” over and over. With each step, you feel the
stones beneath your feet and all of the sensations in your
body. That type of training forces you to stay present in the
moment and to not dissociate, to not send your mind off in
one direction and your emotions in another, to not shut off
the sensations of your body.

One of the great gifts of having a human body is that you
are able to experience sensation. Again, everything in your
reality is dualistic. You can take that ability to experience sensation to the negative extreme or to the positive extreme.
Those who have taken it to the negative extreme have become
drunk with sensation. The other end of the spectrum is the
absolute and total dissociation from all sensation whatsoever.
The middle road is mindfulness. The middle road is the awareness of sensation and the ability to use sensation as a tool without getting trapped in the pitfalls of sensation.

Mindfulness is a valuable tool for humans in this time. You can experience sensations in a mindful way without
attaching to them if you train yourselves to do so—and may
we recommend that in the years to come, as you will need
this skill! As you are riding this roller coaster that is speeding
toward an implosion point, you experience more distraction
than at any other point in history. You are experiencing distraction from an infinite number of directions—whether it is
the distraction of sensations in your body, distraction from
your emotions or distraction in your mind. It is being thrown
at you from many different directions while you are in this
whirlwind of movement. Is it any wonder that your society is
feeling so overwhelmed and chaotic? So what is the answer?
You as a civilization are going to pass through this implosion
point eventually. How you pass through it is up to you. Once
again this brings us back to mindfulness. Find a practice that
helps you train yourself to be mindful. This is going to be one
of the single most valuable tools that you will find in your entire
lifetime. This is no exaggeration. It is going to train you to
stay centered in the storm. The type of training doesn’t matter;
you can choose Zen training, any type of martial arts or
Western mystical training. This will help you to rise above the
attachment to perception and sensation instead of being the
one who feels and sees and senses and gets distracted. You can
become the one who watches the one who is distracted, feels
sensations and has perceptions. Do you see the difference?
Once you can do this, once you can clearly be the one
watching the clouds roll by rather than being the cloud itself,
you will feel a great shift in your consciousness that will then
allow you to ride the roller coaster and hold your center.
Using a dance term, you will be the one who can “spot” while
doing turns without losing your balance.

This is how you become the true self. This is it: by being
that watcher. If you do not allow yourself to move into the
role of observer, you cannot become the one who experiences
the integration process. Integration does not happen from
the personality level. Only the true self experiences the integration.

To perceive the integration, you have to be joined with the one who can truly observe it!

The next question is, what about 2012 or 2013? The concept
of an “implosion point” sounds violent or intense. We
do not perceive that it will be that way. It won’t be like a
light bulb turning on and off. What will be more intense, as
we read it now, is the period leading up to 2012, which has
already begun and will continue in 2006.

EARTH’S MANIFESTATIONS OF CHANGE

We’re going to take a detour that isn’t really a detour, that
has to do with the manifestations on your world in the past
year, including the tsunami and the hurricanes, among other
dramatic occurrences. These often involve flooding or water,
which is very interesting. Many people on your world are
pointing fingers and saying, “You see? It is humankind’s fault,
because we haven’t paid attention to the Earth” or whatever.
We want to say really clearly: These things that are manifesting
on your world are not punishments. There is a big difference
between
a) being punished, and
b) reaping what you have sown.

Being punished is something that is brought upon you from an outside source. Reaping what you sow is simply a karmic cycle.

Being mindful means that when you become the watcher,
you have no excuse for being unaware of the energy that you
put out into the world. This is literally the key for transforming
yourselves. When you are the watcher, you have no
excuse for not seeing the energy you put into the world.
What you put out—whether as an individual, collectively as
a nation or collectively as a species—will come back to you.
This is a law of metaphysics. It is not a punishment. It is an
indication that humans are not taking responsibility for the
energy that they are putting out into the reality. And so
these are awakening opportunities.

Your planet has a huge opportunity now to make different
choices. It is very easy to blame President Bush (as an example)
or the people who did not build hurricane reinforcements
or the people who did not build a clear tsunami warning system in the Pacific. Blame is easy. It is not so easy to take responsibility. So blame becomes the primary expression
of frustration.

Your leaders, no matter what you think of them, are a manifestation of the group energy on your planet that needs to be
played out. They are a part of you! As individuals become
more responsible for the energy they put into their own environments, lives or country, their leaders will then be the ones
manifesting that self-responsibility. This is on the horizon.

If enough of you make these choices of self-empowerment
instead of blame, you are going to find that the drama on the
world will be lessened. The transition will be smoother. If
blame and self-protection continue, it might be a bit more
dramatic. It really is up to you to make a difference in your
own way.

THE ENERGY OF 2006

Regarding your upcoming year 2006, as we’ve said many
times, there is no one set future out there. The probabilities
are infinite. What we say here is only the probability thread
that we see as the most dominant at this time. Your choices
and your actions can change everything.

For many of you, there has been an eight- or nine-year cycle
that has been very challenging. At times you may not have
seen the light at the end of the tunnel. In the past few years,
you’ve sensed it but haven’t seen it. However, for those of you
who have been making tangible changes in your lives, you will
definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel in 2006.
As we said above, it is imperative that you as individuals
and as a planet make new choices that will reap the kind of
healthy reality you visualize. Visualization is not enough.
You must take action. First, start with your personal lives in
2006. Are there old habits and patterns that you’ve struggled
to release? This is the year to let them go. Just let them go!
At least take some baby steps. If you use the information
we’ve shared about becoming the watcher, you will find that
with a little bit of discipline and self-love, you can change
them more easily than you anticipate. The energy of 2006
supports new beginnings should you choose to commit yourselves to taking the necessary steps.

In a time when there is so much chaos both externally and
internally, simplicity is the key. We suggest that in 2006 you
take steps to simplify your lives, whatever that means for you.
Perhaps it means reducing your workload, delegating tasks or
simply dropping activities that stress you out. Clean out your
closets, donate what can be used and get rid of what cannot.
By simplifying your life and committing yourself to changing
your choices and actions, you truly prepare for the energetic
roller coaster yet ahead.

As the energy increases toward 2012, this is extremely
important. If you choose not to make the simplification of your
life a priority and refuse to look at your habits and patterns, you
will find that the external chaos may seem unbearable at times.
You will become distracted by sensation, emotions and negative
mental patterns and forget who you truly are. This is the challenge that all 3D planets have as they prepare for a consciousness shift. Why not embrace the challenge and do the internal work that needs to be done? It is your choice.

THE SCARY STUFF

Earth changes are the one challenge, collectively, that
your planet’s people still find intolerably frightening, because
you feel out of control. This is perhaps one of the lessons to
be learned by Earth changes: how to be prepared and surrendering at the same time. No one truly knows when, if or how Earth changes will happen, but they are a reality for all planets in the natural cycle of a planet’s evolution.

Today on Earth, your dominant governments have a
belief system that they are in control of their reality to a
point, although recent terrorist activities have shaken this
belief. Because they see the Earth as “theirs” and a permanent
foundation under their feet, they give little thought to
the possibility of preparing for natural disasters. This was
quite evident in the recent hurricanes that hit the Gulf
Coast of the United States. As you well know, this is
called “denial”! With recent incidents from 2001 onward,
it is becoming quite clear that preparations need to be
made. But because denial has been the mode of behavior
for so long, it might take a while for this to become a priority.
Have patience.

In 2006 we perceive that more attention will be focused,
perhaps quietly, on disaster preparation. This is a good
thing—not because disasters are coming, but because it
means that your mass consciousness is moving away from
the energy of denial. We know that many of you are asking,
“So Sasha, do you foresee any disasters for 2006?” As
we’ve said before, everything is fluctuating. There are
other channels and psychics who specialize in this sort of
thing, but no one can know 100 percent. Therefore,
instead of worrying about what is to happen “out there,”
concentrate on what is happening “in here.” This is why
we rarely give “predictions.” We prefer instead to focus on
your ability to re-create your reality.

So how do you deal with the fear associated with worrying
about disasters or terrorist attacks that you can’t control?
First, be very aware that when you don’t acknowledge your
fear, it grows in power. Take some time to sit down with your
fears and befriend them. Find out what they are saying but
don’t give them too much power or dwell on them. Listen to
your fear and then move on. If fear gets out of control,
remember to become the watcher. Watch your fear and what
watcher’s point of view, this is very sobering! Then, after you
have developed a relationship with your fear, take whatever
action is necessary. If you fear natural disasters, then put
together an emergency kit. But do not go overboard. Simply
do what is logical and responsible for preparedness and then
let it go.

In summary, the year 2006 will reflect whatever consciousness
you put your energy toward. If you obsess about
Earth changes or terrorist attacks and how out of control
you feel, you will magnify your feelings of being out of control.
If you put your attention toward simplifying your life
and observing and changing your habits and patterns with
commitment, self-discipline and love, you will have a wonderful
surprise concerning the completion of an eight to
nine-year cycle and the beginning of something new
and fulfilling for which you have waited a very long time.
The choice is yours. What will you choose and take action
to manifest?

As always we send you our deepest love and respect.
With gratitude we thank you for allowing us to share your
reality in this most interesting, challenging and, yes, exciting
time on Earth! With all of our love, we bid you a fond
good day for now. ★
