How to Live Peace Beyond The Chaos
ENJOY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TEACHINGS TO BE THE MEDICINE
Dear Friends,
Thank you for being here. I hope this will serve you today and always.
So much gratitude.
Gratitude is my word for the year.
My word for last year was beauty, and beauty is still overflowing in my life.
Once we highlight something, we make it a part of our lives, and it does not disappear once the calendar changes.
What do you want to embrace and experience more of this year?
What word will you choose to embody and focus on through 2023?
This gentle, powerful practice is an excellent way to lead you to move forward this year.
What do you want to create? Take some moments to decide and begin the journey.
CHOOSING OUR REALITY
We choose our reality with our thoughts, beliefs, fears, intentions, and actions.
Everything counts.
What we listen to and take in from others affects us deeply.
This week, two people spoke of extreme fear that the world is ending.
My friends, the media is set to destroy our confidence and peace. The unfortunate reality pushed on us every day is not the whole picture for us to take seriously.
My father told me sixty years ago that what comes through the TV and radio is hypnotic and manipulating to whoever watches and listens to it. So I turned mine off decades ago and chose wisely what is truth and reality in what I take in from media and life.
Dad also told me that life is an illusion and shared this quote below.
"Do not believe anything you hear and half of what you see." Benjamin Franklin.
With our modern technology, I would say, "Don't believe anything."
At first, it might scare you to know that reality is not as it seems.
There are many realities. Which one do you choose to live in?
Relax and begin to wonder and explore as you ask what is truth and what are the lies?
Using discernment is a practice to use in every moment of each day.
Discernment is neutral and open to discovering truth, illusions, and lies without judgment, fear, beliefs, and expectations.
Discernment is a mature practice for sure. But, it is also worth the peace and ease when you know what you know.
We are manipulated and trained by fear in our world.
Fear interferes with our everyday reality. Yet, for some reason, humans are motivated by fear instead of truth.
Since Love, goodness, and peace are our nature, it is important to question anything that emits or creates fear in us.
I am cautious about where I go, whom I listen to, and what I participate in.
The ego's illusions may say, "I can handle all this negativity in my home, relationships, work, and the world. Therefore, these exposures do not affect me at all."
The soul says, "I am aware of the impact of everything in my life. I choose wisely and tolerate less BS every day. I release negative emotions and blueprints to be clear."
HOW TO DISCERN.
EASE. Turning to our bodies for truth, we pay attention to our experiences in our bodies. Even if we do not like what we perceive, the feeling of what is happening feels quiet, peaceful, and wise when we arrive at the truth.
CHAOS. When we want to believe lies, the body, mind, and emotional feelings experience one or more of these; fear, control, manipulation, guilt, worry, shame, blame, judgment, and speak reasons and excuses to convince us to believe them.
The illusion is loud and obnoxious. The truth is confident and gentle.
The lie is constantly pushing their agenda to sway you to their way.
The truth stands in itself and allows you to receive it or not.
Slow down and sit with experiences and begin to discern truth and lies.
You will be surprised at how many illusions you have embodied to get along in life.

In the world, even those who tell the truth will often use fear to manipulate us to believe or follow their way. This occurs in religion, politics, medicine, business, media, family, friends, work, etc.
This is the confusion we deal with every day. Truth and lies intertwine to confuse and control us.
Personal awareness, trust, and discernment are critical to mental and physical health.
Group thinking is a way to manipulate. People want a posse to support them.
Imagine you can think something different than everyone else and are correct.
Breathe it in and out, release outside influences, and feel the truth of what you know and understand.
Imagine this inner wisdom that is available without someone telling you it is okay.
Let go of judgments of being rebellious, selfish, wrong, or bad. Living our truth is our saving grace and birthright.
Know what you know, and be with it.
There is a peace that goes beyond common understanding that fills you.
Our most significant personal power and growth is waking up to our truth and making the changes that align with the reality of us and who we are.
THE FREEDOM PATH.
Our health and our lives improve when we align with our truth.
Allowing ourselves to accept the truth and live it creates happiness and all good things to awaken and flourish.
Enjoy the rush of new energy and support as we make healthy, aligned changes.
Freedom to be us and honor us goes against the rules and roles set by others.
Do, and be you anyway. Freedom begins inside.
When we find our actual course, peace, joy, goodness, and Love light our way.
The universal truth is that we are; perfect health, happiness, truth, beauty, light, Love, peace, goodness, and oneness.
Awaken to seek the truth in these Universal qualities in us and all. Use your intent to follow them on a fantastic journey of discovery.
Let go of any negative beliefs or fears, no matter how convincing they are.
Trust your inner net of wisdom, awareness, and choice; it will always lead you to the best answers.
Chaos continues when we fight our truth and continue to live the life that creates dis-ease.
Ease begins with being honest and authentic with us and allowing it to be okay that we have chosen painful experiences in the past.
It takes courage and effort to break the patterns and allow a new reality of peace, happiness, and comfort in our lives.
Have fun with it all. It's a worthwhile practice and a journey.
I'm here to help you with this and more.
Have a great everything.
Always in Love,
Janet StraightArrow

1yThis is one of my favorite lines - Our most significant personal power and growth is waking up to our truth and making the changes that align with the reality of us and who we are. It often goes against the groups' rules, takes a long time to get there..., yet so worth it!
