(Transcribed and edited from Lee’s live video message.)

Hi everybody, and welcome to the Energy Forecast for May 2015.

Time is flying by and so are the energies. In last month’s forecast, I mentioned to you that April would feel wider than March. March was a bit of a crazy, intense month, and while April wasn’t without its intensity, there was certainly more of a feeling of spaciousness. Until that is, this past week or so; the last week of April.

Many of you will have felt sensitivity issues arising in the last week of April and that is expected to carry through at least the first half of May.

So whether that’s your own inner feelings of hypersensitivity; for example, being even more sensitive to the volume of someone’s voice, or the way someone walks into a room. Or more ‘outer experiences’ that are showing up in the outside world; so perhaps being upset at what someone is doing or saying, or upset at the job that you’re in. Sensitivity is the theme of not only our time, but particularly in this year of 2015, dealing with your sensitivity is the key to getting through planet Earth in this transitionary era.

So, a couple of things to remember when you find yourself in a space of heightened sensitivity.

Space is what’s usually needed, because your nervous system has amplified and so you need to let it calm down before anything. This is because the more you keep running at the same person or the same issue with a heightened nervous system, it’s just going to continue to amplify.

So, do take time alone.
Do ask yourself, have I been working and doing too much?
Do I need to sit still and ‘be’ a little more?
Ask yourself, am I getting support?

Support from yourself, support from others

The support which you can give yourself is nutrition, exercise, good people, your own connection.
Or do you need the support of others at this moment?
To reach out to some people in your life because you’re trying to struggle through it alone?

Not everybody that you reach out to is going to be able to be there for you, but if you’re willing to not take the first ‘no’ as rejection, and keep asking a few other people, you’ll get that support. Support from others is wonderful because our nervous systems do calm down when we live in a more tribal way. Nature is the other great ‘energy reset’ when you are overstimulated.

So, ask yourself;
How much tribe energy have I got in my life right now that’s supporting me and helping me feel good?
How much personal space am I getting?
If you’re in a city and you can’t get to nature, make sure you’re soothing yourself from that stimulation. Cities have very electrical energy fields compared to nature spaces and the countryside. So you really need to monitor the amount that you are letting yourself get ‘amped-up’ by the energy of a city.

I’m just about to move from Boulder, Colorado to San Francisco. For me personally, San Francisco is absolutely the right place for me right now. So it’s not necessarily a case that city = bad/countryside = good. It’s just that there are different ways of monitoring your energy, and one of the issues that can happen for people who live in more isolated or countryside spaces is they can go through ‘people-isolation’, and sometimes that’s too much for the nervous system as well.

It’s all about balance, and what you personally need on any given day.

Finding your ‘balance-point’ within the demands of collective energy

So regularly ask yourself;
Where am I on my balance of what I need?
Have I got enough tribe in my life?
Have I got enough space in my life?

Because only we can monitor this and sometimes as a collective, we all get very giddy together. As one big group energy, we collectively get on that hamster wheel and pound it really hard, and the only person who can truly monitor your experience of it, is you.

The reason I say this is that many of you listening to this might be in the role of ‘helper’ to people in your life. You might be most people’s emergency phone call. The problem is that not many people in that group for whom you’re the emergency phone call, will be considering how many emergency phone calls you might have taken that week. Only you can monitor that. So the helpers and the healers among you, you’re probably a little overwhelmed right now with the requirements of people outside you, if you’re not maintaining your own inner needs.

Now, to go to a different place.

Again, what I’ve spoken about a lot in the last year or two is that many of you, even with some of these sensitivity challenges, will be feeling better than ever before in yourself and in your experience of life.

Releasing Ancient Issues

Life is a strange ride and it has as many challenges and downs as it can have ups, but so much of it is to do with our approach to it, and so if any of you are still in the dying throes of being angry about something in your life or feeling like a victim to something in your life, what will be working through you at this time is ancient history.

It will be your own history around that issue so, for example, you hate your job. How many times in your life have you hated your job and what is it about the job that you really hate? Is it really that building that you go to and that employer that you have, or what is it that makes you feel crushed in that job? And if you start to ask yourself those deeper questions, you might have a breakthrough moment where you go, Oh, I hate having to be nice to people all day. So, try not faking being nice all day!

There’s a real societal pressure that we have to be happy or we have to be nice and friendly, and it’s just not true. It’s time for you be who you are, more than ever before, because a lot of you will be running into trouble by trying to be more positive than you feel. Or trying to leave your dark side at home, or whatever difficulty you’re processing at home, because you don’t want to throw it at other people.

Being Authentic/Expressing where you are at

There’s a big difference between throwing it at someone else and being authentic with how you’re feeling.

So, I could walk into my office place and, someone says, ‘Hey Lee, how are you doing?’ to which I respond (acting out depressed and angry emotions) ‘Oh, I’m really miserable, I’m really fed up!’

Y’know, that’s me throwing it at them. The other way is, someone could say, ‘Hey Lee, how are you doing?’, and I could just go, ‘Y’know, it’s a bit weird for me at the moment, I’m going through some stuff, I’ve got this going on with my family…..’

There are two very different ways of using energy in my demonstrations, and being present in energy. But the second one I demonstrated, tells the person that I know where I’m at, and it’s me communicating who I am today in a peaceful way. But a clear way, and that’s very, very important for those of you who are helpers, healers, trying to keep the light and the strength going for others.

These are rocky times in many ways, and for all of us in these rocky times, we have to be authentic about the stuff we’re going through that’s really difficult, as much as the stuff that we’re going through that might be feeling good or liberating to us. So this month, invite yourself to more authentic communication.

People don’t need all the details

As I say that, I feel a whole bunch of you go, I don’t want to share all my personal details with everybody, and the point is, you don’t.

There’s a big difference between me saying ‘Y’know, I’ve got some funny things going on in life and I’m struggling’ versus ‘Well, my mum’s got this illness…’ and giving a whole detailed list of things in my life.

You can always just give people a headline as to how you feel if you don’t want to go into the details.

But in giving them that headline, you help the less sensitive around you understand where you’re at a bit more. It doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily wrap you in a blanket and treat you exactly the way you might want them to, but it means you won’t feel so unseen or invisible or unhelped by the people that you perhaps are bringing your helper energy to.

And this will create balance for you in a new way.

So authenticity is a big theme for the sensitive among you at the moment; being authentic with how you feel, being authentic with your communication and inviting that in at a whole new level.

The ‘Opening’ among people

We’re opening more and more as a people. We’re opening our hearts, we’re opening our minds, we’re opening our communication; I wanted to say (communication) devices, which is hilarious ‘cos of course it’s (our voice), not a device. But sometimes communication is a device, in terms of how you navigate the world via the way you communicate with other people.

Now, this opening I speak of, happens in stages. And as much as any of us would love to have a breakthrough because of a book that we’ve read, or a really potent conversation we’ve just had, or a workshop we just went to, and immediately return to our life and apply that whole breakthrough the very next day, it doesn’t work like that.

We do a piece at a time, and with that said, there are several of you who are missing the point around some of the shadows you’ve gone through in the last few months. You feel like, I’m not growing, I’ve felt really crappy or dense so there’s surely something going wrong. No, this is just this time on Earth and it’s speed. It compresses everything and then lets it rise to the surface.

So if what’s compressed in you was ancestral issues around feeling like a victim or feeling angry at the world, angry at the planet, that’s going to get compressed in you and rise up.

So try and get conscious of it rather than just throwing it at all the people at your workplace like I demonstrated earlier, because that just recycles the energy and makes you feel worse.

Try and get in touch with yourself, perhaps, ‘Ah, OK, today I feel angry and that’s OK. I don’t need to add a story to that, I don’t need to judge that, I don’t need to think therefore I’m regressing on my growth path…’

If you’re alive, you’re growing! Even people who seem unconscious to you are growing, because the experiences they need to learn through will keep coming at them in a different way until they become more conscious.

Going against/inviting non-historical patterns

So try and be peaceful with yourself as much as you can. That is not the historical society-inbuilt way of being, granted, but it is the way that will support your opening at this time to the best of your ability.

Because if you keep running out into the madness and trying to keep up with the madness, you’ll not only get exhausted on the hamster wheel, but you’ll catch your foot in one of the grates and go head first into the hamster wheel. So look at how chaotic things feel for you and if they do feel chaotic, keep stepping back and taking breathing space.

Some of you will be in tricky circumstances you can’t step back from – you may have family members who are ill, you may have real financial or work difficulties right now. So then you need to minimise everything else in your life and you recognize, I can only be around supportive people for a while, I just need to take care of me in the middle of taking care of everyone else and minimize all other stresses.

The new energy that exists above the ‘stress-line’

The stress point in the collective is rising, so what you have to do is get really good at noticing and managing your own stress levels.

There is so much potential at the moment for ‘New’, and if you can keep managing everything that I have said here, in this video, then you’ll find that opening to the new – new connections, new relationships, new experiences, new moments of just Aaah, I’m alive, look at this amazing planet’ – then you’re going to find it all a lot easier to flow with it rather than bang your head on a wall with the intensity.

So, this is the final video I’ll be recording here in Boulder before I leave for San Francisco next month. It’s been almost three years I’ve lived here and been making videos for you guys out here on the hill.

So I just want to honour this place and thank it for not only being a support to me in my life the last few years, but more importantly, for these videos, we’ve all been here on this energy, on this land, having these messages monthly, so thank you Boulder for everything.

So, Big Love everyone.
Take care and see you in June.

“May 2015 Energy Forecast,” by Lee Harris, May 4, 2015, at http://leeharrisenergy.com/blog.html

For years, I lived in extremes, working at a beauty magazine carrying home thousands of dollars worth of beauty products, but barely making my rent.After four years, I walked away from that job to start my own business and live my true purpose. When we follow our passion, it doesn’t mean it’s a smooth road — it’s actually a bumpy, adventurous road, and it’s not for the faint of heart.

The universe brings us challenges and obstacles that we must overcome in order to get to the next level of our freedom and growth, so that we can live in happiness and abundance, which is our birthright.

Through my work as a spiritual mentor the past five years, and overcoming my own challenges and obstacles, I’ve discovered some simple and profound truths about how we create abundance in our lives. I’ll share eight of them with you here.

1. Hold space for meditation each day.

Our energy will affect our external experience and what we magnetize to us. Meditation helps us to move from our mind to our heart — where our true power source is.

Tip: Sit for at least five minutes daily and cultivate the feeling of love. The energy of love is the energy of abundance.

2. Identify your fears.

Fear blocks us from what we want. It may look like many unconscious thoughts and beliefs that we’ve been conditioned to believe. Common fears and beliefs about money and abundance are that it’s “bad,” or even evil or corrupt; that it’s hard to get; that we have to sacrifice ourselves for it; and that we can’t get paid for doing what we love. These beliefs repel abundance.

Tip: Attention flows where attention goes. Train your mind to move from fear to peace by practicing awareness of your thoughts.

3. Know that your net worth equals your self-worth.

The world tells us that we’re unworthy in so many different ways. When we believe we don’t deserve what we desire, we block it. If we feel guilty for what we do have, we won’t be able to retain it or receive more of what we want; these negative self-perceptions block the natural flow.

Tip: Recognize thoughts that feed a lack of self-worth and have the willingness to see things differently.

4. Focus on service.

Focus on “giving” rather than “getting.” The more generous you are and the more value you add to the world, the more you will be compensated. The energy of giving and generosity is a powerful agent in creating a flow of abundance in our lives through ways that feel effortless because they come from our heart.

Tip: If you feel helpless, help someone. If you feel like you don’t have enough, give to someone. Giving is receiving.

5. Let go of the old to bring in the new.

This means things, relationships, habits, fears, beliefs, even a job with the paycheck. Sometimes we have to take the leap to reap the rewards. Many times we hold onto false security in things, jobs and relationships, which limits our capacity to create what we want in the world. The energy within and around us dramatically shifts as we let go of that which is no longer contributing to our growth.

Tip: Check in with yourself. Notice what feels light and expansive in your life and what feels heavy and tense. What do you need to courageously walk away from or let go of?

6. Make forgiveness a central part of your well-being.

How we operate in one area of life will affect everything. We need to have a holistic approach when dealing with our finances and abundance. If we hold onto anger or resentment, grievances or grudges, we are blocking our energetic field. It’s best to clear toxic emotions and heal the past so we can move forward in the biggest way possible.

Tip: Begin with self-forgiveness for any past experiences you might be holding onto and judging yourself for. You’ll unhook yourself from toxic emotions so that you can move forward in a healthy way.

7. Live your purpose.

Many times we don’t actually know what we want or what our life purpose is. For so long we’ve been living for other people or cut off from our inner voice and what is true for us. When we begin to clear the fear blocks of not being good enough or feeling unworthy or undeserving, or whatever the fear is, we discover our life’s purpose, our mission on the planet. As we clear the blocks to who we are, we can access our passions and do what we love. Our passion is our purpose.

Tip: What are you already naturally doing for free? Creative energy is abundance. It’s tapping into what you already have, then bringing something out into the world, creating something from nothing. Let the pull from within guide you.

8. Remember that you don’t need to be saved.

Many of us play the waiting game. We tell ourselves a story about how when the perfect partner comes in, they’ll bring a lifestyle we want or will make everything OK. The things we use as crutches to save us are false security; our true security comes when we live in accordance with our soul.

Tip: Self-love is the baseline of happiness, health and abundance. We create more love and abundance in our lives from an internal space of love and abundance. Begin to tap your inner wellspring.
