Message to Children in Congo

by 8hummingbirdway

I was invited yesterday by Bienve, our host in Congo almost a year ago (in February), to send a message to the children at an upcoming feast (on Christmas), and I know it was a request for funds for this feast, and that is a fair trade. I feel good about providing funds and about sending a blessing.

Click here to read a prior post about Bienve Kamwendo, and here and here to read about my visit to this refugee camp.

I cannot cover the entire meal; if you would like to contribute even a small amount to this meal for hundreds of children in the refugee camp I visited, please see the purple box below. Money goes much farther in Africa, and the meal will be simple – rice, beans, cabbage, and a small amount of meat.

Here’s my Christmas day message to the chidren:

Last year it was a blessing for me to meet you, to sing with you, to watch the games and the dances, to touch your hands and to smile into your beautiful faces.

I will never forget the blessing of visiting you and finding your open hearts.

Don’t forget your sacred ways from your ancestors.

Remember the dance and the songs and the foods and your ancestral lands.

Don’t forget the stories that your parents tell you, and be sure to remember the names of your elders and ancestors.

I hope you will work hard to make this world a better place for all people.

See the good in others if you can. Sometimes it’s hiding, but it’s there most of the time. You will know. You will be able to feel it.

Hold a vision of a good world full of good people. I am praying for this, and simply trying to be good myself. 

Let us all love our families and our neighbors and ourselves.

Don’t forget to love yourself.

When you are in a dark time, when you are struggling and sad or angry or hurt, reach out to the light of God, to the light of your ancestors and your loved ones, to Mother Earth, to the Sun and the Sky and the Water, and that which is closest to you. There is always a way to find comfort, whether inside yourself or outside yourself or in others. Quiet your mind and reach inside yourself to find out what you need to know, how to find the comfort, or what steps to take. This is the way to live life – for all of us.

I send you much love.

From the Mzungu, Annie, mother of Jeff who works with Bienve.

Why me?

by 8hummingbirdway

[Session of channeling Lei Lei on 10/21/24]

[Good morning Lei Lei. I greet you and thank your for your presence. I’m grateful for your being here when I reach out.]

You’re welcome Annie. We are happy to be here. It is our honor to speak through you. There is no other that could bring forth our voice at this time.

[This surprises me. Why is this?]

It is because we are of you; you are of us. We are family. You have recognized my qualities. I speak as Quan Yin. And Paula [my guardian angel] has been with you since your incarnation. And the Spirit of Love and Generosity lives within you. And other loving beings are part of this family as well. And we all make up the presence that is speaking.

[It seems very important that I make myself available for your voice to be heard.]

We feel it is important and we are grateful for your turning towards us and making yourself available to us.

[Thank you for explaining this to me.]

We felt you should understand.

We hope that is will not seem a heavy weight, but an honor and will help you know how important it is for you to practice and become comfortable with our voice, our frequency, our messages.

Please do not experience this as pressure. We sense that there is some element of this that you are  …taking on. 

Let this be a pleasure.

[Well …it is not something I have looked for, and I do feel a heavy importance that I serve in this way …and that I make myself available.

However, I have already been called into service by my soul. I understand that this is my mission, my work, part of the work that I have here in this life, so …I don’t fully understand it, but I respect it. I certainly respect my soul. I have asked to be aligned with my soul, to walk the path of my soul, to express my soul, and this is part doing that.]

Yes. This is part of doing that. We are glad that you understand in this way.

[This is a lot to sort out. I may have more questions.]

We are here for you.

If you would like to have a channeling session with Lei Lei, it would be an honor, a benefit, and a gift to me. There would be no fee. I am in training now, learning to remove myself during channeling sessions for others. Please click here to contact me for a remote or in person session.

Message about “landing in my heart more fully”

by 8hummingbirdway

[In this post I am channeling Lei Lei, the being who presents in my sessions.]

10/13/24

Sometimes you seem to feel not enough. As if you should be perfect. As if it’s not ok to be imperfect, to be confused or to go down a road of disharmony or uncertainty or …you’re simply a human.

You are simply a mortal being who tries her best, who offers up herself in humility and fails sometimes to sustain humility or understanding. These are the things that are your imperfections. These are the things that make you feel that you are less. These are the things that you have a hard time accepting about yourself …and this is what you [can] plant – these seeds of imperfection, these seeds of confusion and doubt or misgivings about ..your responses, your reactions. [I’m to plant for transformation.] You’ve come so far. Allow yourself these small mistakes, these small  …you will never be perfect, you are a human. It is not required that you be perfect. You do not have to be a god or an angel or a goddess while you are here on this Earth dealing with all of these disharmonies and challenges around you – and the frequencies [energies] around you – and just everything [on this plane of existence]!

It’s ok. Being who you are is ok.

[So – is there no great thing that I am missing?]

There’s nothing that you are missing. That which you are pulling at is not something that you can have at this time. It’s not something that you can force. Allow yourself to be a mere fallible human.

[I will do my best to proceed as you say. Thank you for your help here in guiding me in my confusion and delusion or desires to be more than I am.]

It is not delusion, Annie. 

All the seeds that you plant bring great fruit. 

All the love that you gather up and allow to float through you bear great fruit.

Your ideas of what “great” is are many. They may or may not flow in any particular direction that comes to mind for you. Allowing is the way. Just being yourself. See what happens!

Let life unfold around you …and respond to it in the way that seems best. This is the teaching for now.

It is difficult to be human and to  …just allow …to not push …to allow and flow. This is the teaching for you that you would do well to consider and allow. This will help you to land in your heart more fully.
