To my knowledge, I’ve never channeled a Leprechaun before, but I’ve kept this greeting card for many years. I’m sorry I don’t know the artist, but I love this little man’s face and this week, that love sprouted in a surprising way… I wrote this story up for a writing class I am taking. READ ON:
Jennifer Channels an Elemental….January 2024
I got a huge surprise the other day… I was practicing with a team of fellow channeling students when in popped a part of myself I didn’t know I had. I’ve always been spiritual, sometimes downright religious, but I usually tend toward communication with my guardian angel or one of my spiritual teachers in the ascended realms.
My favorite spiritual teacher is Jeshua, usually called Jesus, but I like his Aramaic name. Jeshua’s other half is Mary Magdalen, and usually they channel individually, although once, they spoke together as one. Yeshua changes faces all the time, as far as I can tell, I’ve heard he likes to appear recognizable in the skin color and style that most feels like a brother to the person who is channeling. Mary has wild wavy bushy very long black hair, and a beautiful face with big dark eyes, and a full wide mouth, alot like a girl I knew in high school. She can be very tender and loving, and also fiery. You don’t mess with Maggie!
I don’t see them, like right in front of my face, but I do sometimes get a little glimpse of them, the size of an action figure, like the semicircle of small statuettes I have on my home altar. The Archangels are usually more like suns in my body, of different colors. I adore connecting with the Archangels, especially Gabriel and Uriel, who I call Uncle U. He is iridescent silver, and Gabriel is a glowing warm gold, and bubbles like a good ginger ale.They are very approachable and friendly and their advice is always omniscient and encouraging. My guardian angel is just a quiet, loving voice under my ear, always present, but I guess I take her for granted al little, and am more impressed with the big guys. Silly isn’t it? None of them are more important than another, we are the ones who love hierarchy. They just have different paths, different commitments to Mother/Father One.
So getting back to my surprise last Monday night. In our practice group we all take turns channeling, depending on our interest or questions that day. On Monday, I didn’t have any burning questions, but I had an enthusiasm and curiosity to ask one of the ascended masters or angels about the Elemental Kingdom. I had been reading a book a friend recommended about a woman who made friends with a Leprechaun. Really? you might ask. Yes. Of course it happened in Ireland, as that land still holds an ancient and sacred vibration. I’ve been to Ireland, twice, mostly researching a line of ancestors, but I didn’t have time then to pursue my fascination with spiritual things. I thought Leprechauns were a little mean and grumpy, but the one in my friend’s book was lovely.
So bringing my sense of wonder to the channeling practice, I was open to who might open the conversation. Maybe Jeshua? Jeshua had once consoled my sister Kate, when she woke up one morning to find a leprechaun sitting on her bed. He verified her experience as natural, explaining that the veils between our respective worlds are now thinning, and inter-species encounters would become more common. Apparently she had been traveling between dimensions into the fourth and fifth in her dream state, and her impression of her visitor was a remnant from a conversation she was having in another dimension. Sounds plausible, doesn’t it? It hasn’t happened since to her, but I was told that I have a unicorn friend that I love to ride when I am in the dream state. That was delightful to hear, and doubly pleasant to imagine, as I was over sixty years old at the time.
Back to Monday night. Here is the transcription of what actually was said.
Jennifer (settling in to channel) : All right. Tonight I have a question about Elementals. I’ve found myself absolutely fascinated with Elementals recently and I’m reading a book that was written by a leprechaun. [Tanis Helliwell’s The Leprechaun’s Story.] It’s just cracking me up. I just love it. It’s so much fun. I can’t get anything else read because all I want to do is read the leprechaun book, so I just thought I might bring that forward and see if it gets me anywhere. So I’m inviting any of the angels, or my guides, or the Ascended Masters who would like to come forward to talk about this.
…Taking a moment to settle and rest and wait, rather than making something happen, I just saw somebody whizzing by on a bicycle. That was interesting. Oh my gosh, it’s a day for humor! Yes. I’m seeing like telegraph wires and there are people riding bicycles along them. Okay. We’re getting playful today.
Elemental: “Yes, this is the most wondrous development! We are more, more than happy, to speak with you. I am an aspect of Jennifer, who is entirely playful and silly and always beefing up anything interesting, anything funny, anything humorous, anything to bring a belly laugh, to shake the foundations of all of the beliefs and the thought systems and the structures which hold you in such rigid postures, in such rigid chastity -belts-of-the-mind. [!]
Oh, for heaven’s sakes, you say? Relax. Let it be joyful. Let your life find the gold in every single moment. Let your eyes and your ears and your fingers and your heart and your tippy toes, let them just dance through each moment! The possibilities are endless, but you short circuit yourselves.. you… You decide ahead of time, what is going to happen and then you measure yourself up to this imagination. It is often rather fruitless and sometimes quite barren and sometimes quite gray, and black and white— and not fun at all. And so we would invite you to walk in Technicolor, to talk in hyperbole, parabola, swing on the branches. Take a, take a leaf from the book of the chimpanzees. Eat a banana. I mean honestly, put one in your ear!
It is totally fine to be silly, funny, goofy, childlike, wonder-like, imaginative to the point where you’re making paradoxes in every moment, where you’re connecting things that don’t connect, where you’re making anachronisms, and, you know, half duck and half fish or those silly things that you like to make when you’re children, and then you grow out of them. And then you start to think you’ve got to be serious all the time. And you think you have to think all the time and you think you have to make sense all the time. And you don’t —you can be totally foolish for the pure joy of not knowing what the next thing out of your mouth will be!
So you see, it is quite possible to be many aspects of yourself and it’s quite possible to deliberately decide not to filter everything, through your sensible filter, or through your wise & spiritual filter. We are a big fan of that fella Yogi Beyondananda who poked fun at all this spirituality. Because honestly, it is not helpful to take yourself too seriously.
Now we do understand the yearnings of the heart. We do understand where there is this longing for love. Because you have secluded yourselves from your own divine nature for so many lifetimes, and for many years— for you are not exactly teenagers. Cute as you are, sweet as you are, inventive as you are, you are ones who have walked the years of this life to a place where you can claim greater freedom. So do it! Do it and enjoy yourself.
This is the path to joy- it’s to let go, to let go of the way you think it will arrive, to let go of the way you think it will feel, to let go of managing the energy of the Universe as it comes through you -because you are not quite certain that you dare to let some things speak for you. Is there anything other than love?
Truly, truly? Only love in disguise. There are those who are pretending, there are those who are dressing up with the scary rubber mask. Just for the fun of it. And they too will have a laugh. At the end, it will be a great party and you will say ‘Why did I struggle so hard?’
We are grateful to you for coming together. We have greatly enjoyed your conversation where you share your hearts with one another. We are much enlivened by the laughter that you are channeling into your reality, because laughter is very sacred. Very wonderful energy! So play more, be silly more. Will you allow yourself this? It is a freedom— you must claim it.
Yes, allow the green hair to grow in your belly button. It is totally fine. We will enjoy it. And so will you. We hope. Much love and laughter to you.
My name is Gabriel Rafter. Goodbye!”
Jennifer: Well that was a surprise!!
PS Signs that I might be part Leprechaun: I regularly find four-leaf clovers, I hardly ever worry about my health, I talk to trees and sing to birds, I choose a settled long term relationship, I’m very loyal, often silly and love to play with natural materials… etc! Maybe another post? Thanks for reading… I Appreciate YOU! Love, Jennifer

Channeling with OraMiel, my Angel guide ~ Christmas 2023 to the New Year of 2024
~ this channeling got me through the holidays… it’s so gentle and helpful… LOVE To YOU! Jennifer
Jennifer: I have to share a funny image. When I settle it down into my heart, to channel, I think of it as the shaft of a well, and there’s water at the bottom, and I sink down into the water. And this time that water kind of … I saw myself just on a raft down at the bottom of the well with a tequila, with a margarita, and then I saw the Divine Mother and Divine Father on either side of me, on their rafts, with their margaritas! … [Laughs]
Jennifer: It’s that sinking down within, into a whole interior universe that opens up within, getting beyond the limited human with all of the concerns. It’s a little like housekeeping, as far as this time of year [goes]— the corners are swept and some of the dust that comes up, some of the dust bunnies are enormous (they have fangs!) [laughter]— as far as energy which hasn’t been attended to, or old habits, or getting into any sort of feeling of inadequacy, or ‘too much’ or …
Oramiel: It all gets cleared out. Blow it out. Blow it out your nose. [Laughs] Blow it out your ears! Clean out the old, and you bring in the new. Make room for the new. If you’re going to have a little baby, certainly, you would clean the bed, the bassinet — not necessarily go and buy a brand new one, which is what’s done nowadays. But in the many centuries before, a place of resting of the new life would be cleaned, refreshed, purified with water and sunlight, with herbs, incense.
Not in any way to add to the to-do list but only to remind you that this is a time of renewal, a time of whisking away the old and preparing a place for all to be born anew. It’s good to remember this is also a time for peace within.
We were jokingly sending an image of running your mouth, which would [look] like a little waxed lips running down the road [i.e. talking so much], when, in fact, the most helpful thing at this point, especially if any of you get over-extended at any time, is to sit in your well. Allow the well to fill with renewed waterfalls of bright love, cascades and shimmers and foam and droplets, making beautiful spheres, renewed energy, life, like being reborn within you, in your heart.
It is good to know that what you do not accomplish in one time period may be completely let go of. And what will be most effective for you for the new year will be brought to you anew. It may have echoes or bits and pieces of the old design, but it will be made new. And do not think that you need to carry with you all of your intentions that were not yet fulfilled. Just breathe deeply and slowly within each moment. Be sure, you are getting your oxygen. Feed yourself with your breath, with the love that comes with that and proceed once full, once settled, once at peace, having tasted the quiet, the birth of stillness, within.
We are receiving some questions about who is speaking. We would suggest that it is Jennifer’s angels, the one that she likes to call OraMiel, the one who ‘prays honey.’ We attend to you at all times, my dear, and if you do not particularly seek another, or ask for another, we are always happy to have a little bit of time with you. We do not rush in — certainly do not compete. We hold the space for you with our palms toward you, at all times sending you love.
Each of you have your own circle with those of us in the pure form of love [i.e.angels]. We do serve you, we respond to your requests. We assist you with your beseechings, those things that you feel are a little bit beyond you at the moment.
Nothing is beyond you, dear ones, but there are times, we understand in the human journey, where you do not feel up to something. You do not feel capable by yourselves. It’s been perfectly planned by your Father and your Mother, perfectly planned when you requested this adventure into the physical.
A very long time ago, when you began to make your explorations with separation, we promised you in your wholeness that we would continue to remind you that you are never alone, but that if you wish to taste loneliness, it would be part of the experience. You know that when you taste aloneness you quickly shift into all- oneness, so it is through the aloneness that you find the oneness. But the loneliness is the forgetting.
And it is wise in this time when so many are reaching out to those close to them that you remember those who feel they do not have anyone close to reach out to or those who they would want to reach out to have time and again rejected their offer, rejected their presence, rejected reconciliation. That is true loneliness. Be mindful of those that you are aware of who are on their own and send a message, make a call, make a visit, whatever you have the impulse or in the moment that you are in — each moment is different. Some moments will contain hours, and some hours will contain moments.
Your perceptions are all different, depending on your energies. The more settled you are, the more time you have. So again, this helps you if you will settle deep within your heart, into that lagoon that is lit from below by the colors of turquoise and gold, green and deepest earth.
We have been grateful for this opportunity to bring these words of love, of healing, balance, en-wholing, too. This is what Jennifer needs most at this time. And we are delighted to be in a grouping with you, as friends, all of us, deep soul friends, who have known each other for eternity. You are new in your embodiment, relatively new, but we know of you. It is sweet to look upon you. We congratulate you on your progress. We are so happy for you that you are coming into your wholeness.
If you would like to converse with us, we are present.
Team-mate: I have a question for Jennifer … well, about Jennifer, but for you. Is there one thing that Jennifer could/should keep in mind when feeling the pressures of the season, of this time, angst about time?
OraMiel: Remember that it is fluid. It is elastic, as you have so helpfully reminded her. And it is deeply, deeply nourishing if you’ll keep in mind — if Jennifer will keep in mind — the image of the water, the pool, at the bottom of the heart. Remember how liquid it is, how nourishing it is, and know that your constructs of time are like a railroad track, constructed, built over eons, over very long periods of time, in your world and others, in your different incarnations, your different explorations. But really, what is real is liquid, stretchy, and nourishing. And sinking down into oneself, to the depths of one’s own golden, aquamarine, shimmering, warm pool, will allow one to have more to offer.
This one has so much to offer, such a deep longing to offer it, that at times it reaches a frantic state, wanting to burst through and overflow. And there is a little trepidation about that, because who does that? Who cracks open and bursts through and overflows without losing their mind? But the longing is to share this love, our love, with everybody.
Team-mate: Thank you.
OraMiel: Are we feeling complete?
Team-mate: Indeed.
OraMiel: Alright. We will leave you for now but not really forever. We are always with you.
