What 5D Consciousness Really Means
If you’re someone who’s interested in spirituality, you might have come across the term “5D consciousness” or seen people mention “living in 5D.”
Many people come across the concept online but they’re often not quite sure what it really means. The truth is that there is no single universal definition that everyone in the spiritual community agrees on.
In essence, 5D Consciousness describes a higher state of human awareness that goes beyond the normal three-dimensional experience of physical reality.
We are currently all going through a collective “ascension” from a fear-based, selfish “3D consciousness” to a higher vibrational state defined by love, unity, and spiritual awareness.
The idea that we are ascending from 3D to 5D consciousness therefore refers to a global shift of humanity moving away from fear, separation, and survival-based thinking toward a more compassionate, heart-centered and spiritually conscious way of living.
Through meditation, spiritual practice, and working closely with people on their own journeys, I have come to understand what many people refer to as 5D consciousness in a very personal way.
To explore the different ways various spiritual teachers interpret this idea, it helps to understand the basic terms. These descriptions are only starting points, but they help explain why the language of “dimensions” has become popular in many spiritual conversations.
I Am Responsible For Me
We all make mistakes. Each one of us has looked back on our life path and thought, if only I could go back and change it.
I wish I would have bought that house while it was still available at a lower price, because I would be on easy street by now.
Or if I could go back and take that amazing job, which I did not realize was so wonderful at the time, due to my youth and inexperience, I could have retired with a huge pension and many benefits by now.
One of the biggest regret that comes up quite often, is wishing to go back and tell relatives and friends that we love them… before they passed away so unexpectedly. I have so much to say to them right now, I wish I would have said it then.
My favorite saying, and yes, I am guilty of this myself: if I could go back to my teens with the knowledge I now have as an adult, I would change the course of my life and do things differently.
Yes, it would be nice if such a magic wand or time machine was available to us, so we could travel back and start over. However, truth be told, in our youth, we probably would have done the same things again.
The knowledge I have now, is because of the life lessons and mistakes that I have made. My errors and poor decisions created who I am today!
Am I perfect? Heck, no. Do I still mess up? Oh, yes. However, do I carry the things I messed up in my backpack of hardships, or do it let them fall to the ground and return to Mother Earth, and not let them move forward with me?
Your Unique Role In The Global Awakening
A caller recently asked me to clarify something that her brother talks about constantly. He tells her that she has her “head in the sand” and that we are on the threshold of a “global awakening.”
‘What is he talking about?‘ she asked.
There has always been talk of a global spiritual awakening, for as long as I can remember.
In my youth, I assumed it might be something dramatic or supernatural, like a divine rapture, or angelic beings appearing all at once, or extraterrestrials arriving with a profound message of love and peace for planet Earth.
My understanding completely changed in the mid-1980s when I discovered the teachings of Emmanuel, the spirit guide channeled by the late Pat Rodegast, whose work has remained a favorite of mine ever since.
In Emmanuel’s Book II: The Choice for Love, Emmanuel speaks about the challenges of these times and how many souls have chosen to incarnate now to witness the global awakening.
The awakening as a worldwide shift in human consciousness. Emmanuel describes it as an evolutionary maturation process in which humanity increasingly chooses love over fear, a developmental turning point in our collective consciousness free from materialistic pursuits fuelled by the ego.

The Enigma Of Your Soul Contract
Before we come into this lifetime, we design a soul contract. We choose a family that we want to be born to and we plan specific things that we want to accomplish, such as career, relationships, children, and so on. The contract is about our spiritual self and therefore also includes those things that we need to overcome and learn from.
Some of the more important things in your contract may come as a surprise, because often they are those things you do not want to do! This is usually a sure way of knowing that something is contractual. The things we prefer to do, or have done, we’ve already mastered, but the challenges and obstacles offer us opportunity to overcome our fears and anxieties, to step forward and learn more, to grow spiritually.
Some contracts are also much longer than others. Some of us remain here for a long time, while others do not. I doubt anyone knows for sure, but for the time that we are here, we must make every effort to learn and grow from every life experience.
This is also why some of us attract the wrong people, and constantly get into the wrong relationships? In these cases it is often your soul contract trying to teach you to speak up for yourself and claim your self-worth.
When old souls come in, usually nothing bothers them. They tend to take things with a grain of salt. However, when new souls come in, they are often very excited about so many things and can’t seem to get enough done.
There are also the creative souls, who are very talented, but also have a lot of emotional stress. Part of their contract is to learn to manage their stress better, so that they can be more open to their creative gifts. Continue reading
Not A People Person, Or Pleaser, And That’s Okay!
I have had clients tell me that they feel something is wrong with them, because they don’t like to be around people. They prefer solitude.
Others feel disconnected when around people, or it makes them feel smothered. People make them feel drained, or they feel out of their element.
If you are someone that does not like to be around people, or feels a sense of disconnect when in large groups, or even just engaging with others, fear not! I have some very good news to share with you.
It is my hope and prayer that this information will help you to stop being so hard on yourself when it comes to your social preferences. You do not need to feel guilty for not wanting to slap on a “happy face” and pretend to be someone you are not.
There is nothing wrong with you in my opinion. There is a simple reason why you don’t enjoy being around other people so much. The reason is that you have been to this planet many times before and basically you have “been here done this,” as it were.
Okay, so you don’t feel like being around your fellow humans. What to do? Tell yourself this, “it is okay that I don’t want to engage with others.” Then tell yourself, “I love myself just the way I am and now see the beauty in me that I never did.
But instead of judging myself, or thinking there is something wrong with me, from this day forward I promise to allow myself to embrace the freedom of placing myself where I feel comfortable, and free, and at peace.” Continue reading
Always Remember That You Are Enough
You are enough. If only, as we grew up, we had heard more such words, even if there was an additional “… and yet strive for more”.
The fact is we were raised in a world where competition is prevalent; where our insecurities are often emphasized to us, or used as leverage (intentionally or otherwise); where our personal beliefs about ourselves potentially delays our soul evolution.
As partners in the Universe we say to ourselves, “Everything has a reason, we each have a soul purpose, all is in Divine Order.”
Yet, when a tragedy or life shattering moment hits, we are so intimately impacted that we have to dig deep to console ourselves and try to reframe that that tragedy has a Divine purpose, and that you have enough and are enough in that moment.
Perhaps such a life event is the loss of a family member, a loving relationship, job, pet, or a financial crisis, or any other life-changing event. Our faith in Divinity may keep us going, but it does not change the fact that we are deeply grieved by this loss.
Our ego will bring up all sorts of emotions, including anger, grief, betrayal, denial, hatred and many other emotions. You may espouse such things as, “Why them why not me” or “I feel cheated” and “How could this happen”.
In our Divine space, devoid of analytical ego, we know in our heart this experience is for our soul growth path and those closely connected with us, but that is still hard to face.
