Happy New Year!

Dear Lightarian Teacher/Practitioner,

As the year 2000 draws to a close, we are excited about how far we have all come with our spiritual movement this year and look forward to a joyous New Year of clearing, healing, activation and, of course, abundant MANIFESTATION for all members of the Lightarian Family!

The Lightarian Institute has exciting plans for the first few months of 2001....we'll be introducing a few new modalities and launching our first levels of Coursework! Also, the Institute will be moving back to Sedona, Arizona during January and will soon be offering classes in Sedona, in addition to our energy work, at what will be called our Teaching Center. As many of you may know, the Lightarian Institute was founded there in late 1997 and we are relocating back to Sedona in order to participate in a surge of energy being infused there by Maitreya and the Ascended Masters. Sedona has long been considered a major planetary power place...located in the beautiful red-rock mountains of Northern Arizona and full of powerful earth energies called Vortexes. We are looking forward to returning there and having our work focalized in such a beautiful and spiritual location! As details fall into place, we'll be notifying you about our classes and coursework schedule to be held in Sedona. We look forward to seeing some of you in Sedona at the Lightarian Institute's new Teaching Center during 2001.

In addition to expanding our energy work programs and launching of our new coursework in Sedona, we envision the start of a major traveling schedule around the United States, and eventually globally, in order to support Lightarian Teachers in their work, introduce our coursework outside of Sedona and to generally lecture about the global ascension process. Details about our plans for traveling will also be coming soon!

Complete information for our new mailing address, email address, phone and fax in Sedona will be sent to you soon. There will be no change in our website address. The Institute will be closed from the end of the business day Friday, January 5th until reopening on Monday, January 15th, so that we can effectively take care of our move to Sedona.

We trust that your 2001 will be filled with joy and prosperity and extend to you our sincere best wishes for a Happy New Year in the Light!

Love and Light,
Christopher & Jeannine Jelm
Co-Founders of the Institute

ETHERICALLY CLEARING THE WAY FOR 2001
by Christopher and Jeannine Marie Jelm, co-founders of the Lightarian Institute

If you’re like most of us, this time of year probably stimulated an intense inner review, leading to some profound expressions of personal willfulness...namely, those New Year’s resolutions! Generally, these resolutions fall into two categories...things to produce and attract into your life and old, limiting behavior patterns to be released from your life. Bringing in the "new" can be both exciting and challenging, while clearing out the "old" can simply conjure up challenging images of past failures at being more disciplined, shifting undesired behavior patterns and releasing addictions. Much of the challenge of clearing out the old patterns comes from a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary degree to which our old patterns are etherically locked in place within our auric field! One of the most important aspects of creating spiritual movement is to understand more about etheric clearing and to begin to work more effectively on your inner planes to energetically affect the changes in behavior that you seek in your day-to-day experience.

Through our work with clients and students over the years, we’ve determined that there are, to one degree or another, four basic aspects of personal spiritual development that unfold for the individual...they are clearing, healing, activation work and manifestation. These four parts of the overall process can occur at different times in our lives with varying intensity. It is easy to describe spiritual development in linear terms, as if it were a simple step-by-step process, but it may be best understood as a much more complex, circular one! With this in mind, we see etheric clearing work as one of the "foundational aspects" of spiritual evolution, contributing to your ability to heal, activate yourself to higher vibrations and ultimately to support the manifestation of abundance in all areas of your life! The intensity and impacts of clearing work on your spiritual development can be profound! It will stimulate and challenge you to the highest levels of self-trust, spiritual surrender and worldly discipline as you focus on the clearing of your chakras and subtle bodies, leading ultimately to the healing of your physical body.

In very general terms, the clearing of our energy fields is an essential part of our personal transformation. As each of us moves along our spiritual path, the clearing of the chakras and subtle bodies takes place naturally as we experience life, while learning and growing in the process. Sometimes this process can be quite slow and often quite painful! Some call this the "school of hard knocks" or the University of Life! But this process can be accelerated through the use of various etheric clearing methods. Considering that there are many forms of energy work available to support the clearing process, we felt it would be appropriate to describe our perspective on the subject.

Here at the Lightarian Institute, we serve as a vehicle for the divine energies of Maitreya and the Ascended Masters...bringing forth their wisdom, ideas and practical advice into this plane. We are blessed to have ongoing contributions from them regarding the focus and direction of our activities. These Masters have provided channeled information and have inspired our four Lightarian attunement-based modalities, which focus on supporting the four aspects of spiritual development as mentioned above. Through the attunement process the recipient of the energy work receives an introduction to and makes a permanent energetic connection with the particular Master who is focused on supporting one of the aspects, be it clearing, healing, activation or manifestation. Regarding etheric clearing, our Lightarian Clearing Ray provides a unique, effective method for the complete releasing of undesired programming, limiting belief structures and adverse mental-emotional-physical stored energy patterns. Following a Clearing Ray attunement, over an extended period of time, your chakras and subtle bodies will be gently, effectively cleared and opened to hold and anchor in more Light! Through the unique relationship established between you and Ascended Master El Morya during the attunement, the Clearing Ray will powerfully propel you along your life path, allowing more of your Higher Self energies to integrate into and operate through your lower energy fields and the physical body.

The purpose of any form of etheric clearing work is to accelerate the spiritual evolutionary process for the individual who is committed to raising his/her personal vibration level. Since the work of the Lightarian Institute always focuses on serving the highest and greatest purpose for the recipient of our clearing work, we find that the Clearing Ray speeds the process along, while honoring and maintaining the holistic well-being of the recipient...and even making the process of clearing a more joyous and graceful one!

We extend to you our best wishes for the Year 2001, as you move forward along your spiritual path...trusting that a greater level of etheric clarity during this year will assist you in keeping all those wonderful resolutions that you have so excitedly been creating!
