Lee Harris - Energy Speaks: Messages from Spirit on Living, Loving, and Awakening

I t takes a village to deliver a book to the world, and so many great hearts showed up for delivering mine, which makes me deeply grateful. Thank you to all who were involved:

My editor and soul sister, Debra Evans, without your sensitivity to channeling, to words, and to me, this book wouldnt be what it is.

Marc Allen, Kristen Cashman, Georgia Hughes, Kim Corbin, and all at New World Library, for believing in this book and giving it a home that feels so aligned energetically. I am so happy you are the custodians of this work, and thank you for all you have all done to support it.

Amy Hughes, my literary agent, you rock in every way!

Tracy Cunningham, for the wonderful cover; and Regina Meredith, for the gift of your friendship and the deep wisdom of your foreword.

The whole team at LeeHarrisEnergy.com: Noah Perabo, Marti Bradley, Anna Harris, Amanda Douge, Patty Sherry, Rebecca Hall, Nick DeLa Cruz, Meghan Svetich, Davor Boic, and Narada Wise.

Anna Harris, Marti Bradley, Claudia Brazil, and David Brand, for the transcription and editing work of the early editions of some of these chapters.

The early Limitlessness.com period of my work: Story Waters, Claudia Brazil, and Joshua Van Abrahams.

All the attendees in the workshop rooms across the world where these channels were first verbally delivered and birthed. And to all those readers of the early editions of Energy Speaks who championed the words and energy here: I heard you, and you inspired me to create this ultimate new edition.

A special thanks to my parents, Meryl and David Harris, and the rest of my family, for your ongoing love and support of me and what I do in the world. And to my husband, Steven Washington, for being the love and the home I return to every day, along with our furry companions, O and B.

Last but never least, thank you to the Zs for trying to get my attention and managing to do so. You and this work have changed my life for the better. I salute you, and I love you.

His most recent release, Arise, was cowritten and produced with acclaimed Slovenian musician and composer Davor Boic. Lee has recently begun his sound-healing work with the Adventures in Sound series.

T his chapter is adapted from my first-ever channel to a public group and is still one of my most enjoyed and frequently recommended channeled recordings. Our group gathered in June 2006 at a beautiful small retreat property in France, near Rennes-le-Chteau. There were yoga classes led by Anaiya Sophia, and I would work individually with participants, in addition to leading group ceremonies in some of the incredible sacred places in the area.

I will always remember the feeling I had after delivering this message: I felt alteredvery different in my body, somehow energetically rearranged. What was then a novel experience (being a messenger for a group) would soon become a familiar and far more natural-seeming occurrence in my life.

Welcome, powerful people. You are all powerful, mightily so. And today you seek to be reminded of your own power, power that is your inherent right. You came here as powerful souls with messages to share with the world. You are lightworkers. We do not say this to everyone, but you are. It is the work of awakening in consciousness that you are doing that you deliberately came here to do.

This planet needs as many of you as possible to create the consciousness shift now occurring. And how you feel it! It can feel beautiful, wonderful, joyous, humorous, light, fun. It can also feel torturous and wretched. The shift involves a whole spectrum of emotional states. And in order for consciousness to evolve, this full spectrum must be experienced. You are experiencing the spectrum at various levels of awareness, but the whole shebang, as it were, must be gone through consciously so that the shift can be completed.

This is what you all want.

Your work as lightworkers will challenge you. Oh yes, very much so. Lightworkers need to be at the top of the wave and surfing it, scouting ahead so that everyone behind can swim in clear waters. When we say behind, we would suggest that you not get caught up in status. A lightworker is no better or less than a human being who is not actively working with the light. It is just how it is. You are no less or more important than the next person. You are a unity of souls. And every soul has their crucial role to play. So be mindful when you judge, for in judging you temporarily separate yourself from your expanded human family.

Competition between lightworkers is being cleared and eliminated at this time; it is one of the final arenas where battles need to cease for this evolutionary shift to occur. As lightworkers, you will sometimes compare yourselves to others. Good. Do it. Experience how it feels, but do it consciously and with awareness so that you may become free of it.

Judging yourself for such comparison and competition will not free you. Being aware of this dynamic as it arises in you will help to do so, for you can then experience the emotions intuitively, intelligently, and honestly as a way to quicken your growth. You will be able to facilitate the movement of these dark feelings from within yourself. They are part of you. They are part of the world. They are not to be feared. They are simply to be allowed passage through you, for you do not need to harbor them anymore.

You need not see yourself as moving up the levels any faster than your fellow lightworkers, racing against them. You are simply at various stages of focus, discovery, and the implementation of your gifts. Imagine if everyone were at the same place standing on the same rung of the ladder. Progress would be impeded. How would humanity as a group be able to move forward?

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE ABOUT YOUR POWER?

Recognizing and owning your personal power is one of the most important steps you will ever take as a lightworker and a defining moment in your development.

Personal power is not easy for human souls to embrace, for it is not easily embraced in the world. Many of you wrestle with the profound responsibility that standing in your own power demands. It is contained in nature, however. Parts of the world that have been heavily abused by man still hold power. Where a rain forest has been destroyed, there is still great regenerative power in the land. That power cannot be denied. It cannot be permanently stripped.
