Greetings Beloved Ones,

This is Archangel Zadkiel, along with Archeia Holy Lady Amethyst, and we greet you with Love. Today, we wish to discuss being gentle with yourself.

Being gentle with yourself in the new energy is very important. You are continuing to ascend to higher and higher levels. With each rise in level, the energy is more rarified and vibrates at a higher rate.

You are like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon each time you experience a new, higher level.  You are adjusting to the new energy, and you are experiencing the opportunities and lessons that are congruent with that level. It is an ongoing process that keeps your ascension path new and refreshing.

Each level offers you a higher perspective of things on the Earth plane as well as those in the higher dimensions. You may see the reasons why events have occurred at lower energetic levels and the dynamics that were involved.

With each rise in level, being gentle with yourself is important. This could be compared with the gentleness that is given to a child when it is learning to walk. The child is encouraged with each step it takes. There is no question of giving up.

Now it is time to give yourself encouragement and support in the same way.

The third dimension was an energetic vibration of needing validation from others in many situations. The opinions of others often determined whether you would move forward on a particular path or whether you would abandon it to comply with cultural expectations.

Now, at a higher level, you are becoming your own source of validation. You are inner-directed rather than outer-directed. You know in your heart whether a course of action is appropriate for you, and you have developed the courage to do what you know is right for you.

With all of these changes, being gentle with yourself can enhance your progress and assimilation of the new energy.

To begin the process of gentleness, think about how you would encourage a friend if they were in a similar situation. You would provide encouragement and support. You would praise them for each new step they were taking. If they made a misstep, you would tell them it was okay and to try again. You would never be harsh or critical in your interaction.

Harshness is a characteristic of the third dimension. Gentleness and understanding are traits of the higher dimensions.

In the higher dimensional energy, looking at the overall picture and providing support involve surrounding yourself with Love. As you take each step and succeed, give thanks for what you have learned or accomplished. Acknowledge your abilities and talents, and they will expand. Remember that what you focus on increases and expands.

If you find that you have taken an action that is not productive, look at it from a higher perspective and see what you would do differently the next time. Tell yourself that you were doing the best you could at the time with your current understanding. With your new insight, you have the opportunity to make a different decision the next time.

You can ask your guides and the Beings of Light to assist you in the process. Remember that this is a free-will planet, and they are not allowed to interfere unless invited. If you ask for their assistance, they are more than happy to help you.

Also, at the higher levels, ask for your decisions and actions to be for highest good. This will provide a sense of peace as you navigate the new energy.

The more you practice being gentle with yourself, the more natural it will feel, and soon it will become your default mode of the way you treat yourself. You will automatically turn to thoughts of Love and caring for yourself, and this allows you to rise to even higher levels of consciousness.

Beloveds, we are happy that you are practicing being gentle with yourself as you rise to higher levels and incorporate the new energy in your Being.

Know that you are greatly loved.

WE ARE Archangel Zadkiel and Archeia Holy Lady Amethyst

…and we surround you with Love.

And so it is.
