LIGHT Greetings. Welcome to LIGHT TIMES. This is newsletter Issue #12. The purpose of LIGHT TIMES is to support us all in the sharing of LIGHT -- for the sake of EARTH. This is a participatory newsletter for LIGHT-oriented people of all ages and stages in life.

A special welcome goes out to everyone new to the idea of LIGHT and/or the LIGHT TIMES newsletters. EARTH needs us all!

LIGHT TIMES is written for laypeople, for the everyday person. I believe that a focus on you and me as people living on EARTH today is a key to assisting us all who live here on this planet.

The focus of the LIGHT TIMES newsletters is grounding that LIGHT is simple.

Welcome to Issue #12. This issue explores karmic overlays.

Issue #11 explores the subtleties of energy. It reminds us that all of life is energy and that all of life is about energy. It also reminds us that energy has subtleties, resonances, and vibrations.

There are many subtleties within energy. Issue #10 listed a few of these - including auras, chakras, energy cords including karmic cords, energy roots, energy knots, marks/symbols, splits, telepathy, vibrational frequency, and karmic overlays. Here in Issue #12 we will explore karmic overlays.

What are karmic overlays?

(1) Karmic overlays are a form of energy subtlety, subtlety of energy, subtle energy. The subtleties are aspects within energy that require a tuning in to sense their presence.

(2) Karmic overlays relate to cause and effect. Many people in today's world have heard of karma, past lives, and reincarnation. All of these concepts relate to cause and effect.

(3) Karmic overlays help us to understand some of the situations, people, and lessons our lives provide us with.

What kinds of karmic overlays are there?

There are positive karmic overlays and negative karmic overlays. Positive karmic overlays include those people in our lives whom we experience as being very loving. Negative karmic overlays include the relationships we find ourselves in that are hurtful.

Why is understanding karmic overlays important?

Knowing about and understanding karmic overlays gives us information that can truly assist us in noticing the patterns within our life's journey.

The following questions can act as guides as we delineate whether negative karmic overlays exist in our lives and, if so, how to identify them:

(1)Do situations appear that have similar [hurtful] issues showing up?

(2)Are the people similar yet with different faces?

(3)Are the lessons similar?

(4)Does there seem to be overlap?

A "yes" answer to any or all of these shows us clues.

Positive karmic overlays show us where the love is. The relationship dynamics between the people involved in positive karmic overlays feel clear. Their hearts are open and the love flows. Any conflict that arises is resolved with few complications. This is because it is easier for those involved to keep their hearts open even when in the midst of serious conflict.

Negative karmic overlays, in contrast, can be far more complicated. Whenever conflict arises, it hurts much more and it can take longer to resolve itself.

How to identify negative karmic overlays?

Examples include:

(1)You know the feeling when two "strangers" eyes meet from across the room? The electrical charge, hearts pounding, and the excitement! It is common for people to think of this as love at first sight. However, it could instead be a common example of a negative karmic overlay(s). ( First impressions can be telling. )

(2) The reverse is also true. If when strangers' eyes meet from across the room and the corresponding feeling is fear or intense fear, then a negative karmic overlay(s)exists. ( Again, first impressions can be telling. )

(3) Relationships that involve domestic violence of any and all sorts are examples of negative karmic overlays.

(4) Whenever conflict arises in any form of friendship or relationship, if it shows up as slow to resolve itself, complex in its issue(s) presented, and/or those involved find it harder to keep their hearts open, the chances are that they are in the midst of a negative karmic overlay.

How to heal negative karmic overlays?

Healing negative karmic overlays is not difficult. Each one can be nipped in the bud at the first sign of conflict. Even those "love at first sight" situations and "fear at first sight" situations can too.

The process is a form of dowsing. Those of us who are familiar with dowsing can add healing negative karmic overlays to our dowsing repertoire. There are two techniques in particular that apply to the healing of negative karmic overlays.

(1) One heals the overlays quickly and requires an integration period.

The integration period can be painless or intensely stressful depending on the strength of the overlay. The integration period can range from as short as within one hour to as long, on average, as one week. The less intense overlays heal quickly with little to no stress and have the stortest integration time. On the other hand, the stronger negative karmic overlays require a longer integration time and may have much stress associated with them.

For those negative karmic overlays that are particularly strong, it may be better to heal them piece by piece. This is because the integration proces can be so intense that for the sake of overall daily functioning, it is better to heal and therefore integrate a little bit of it at a time.

It is especially important for us to remember to take extra good care of ourselves when we are integrating the healing of a negative karmic overlay. This can include drinking plenty of water, eating well, allowing ourselves plenty of rest and sleep time, and being particularly gentle with ourselves.

Positive and negative karmic overlays can exist within the same relationship between two (2) people and/or within the same situation(s). Therefore, when the integration of a negative karmic overlay feels too intense in the moment, LIGHT TIMES recommends calling on the positive karmic overlays that exist either within the same relationship/situation and/or within other relationships/situations to help ease the intensity of the energy freeing up. This will greatly assist us as we heal those stronger negative karmic overlays.

(2) One "runs corrections" on the negative karmic overlays. The process is very quick and does not require an integration period.

The results of the less intense overlays are immediate and permanent. On the other hand, the results of the stronger negative karmic overlays require "running corrections: over a period of several days. They may appear to be lsower to occur, but occur they do and steadily. It may take a period of several days for the results to reach 100% and to be permanent. However, success is guaranteed. Our patience and perseverance is called upon here. We can do it!

So ... both of these techniques are quick. One requires an integration period; the other does not. Which technique we choose is up to our personal preferenc in the moment and our considering the situation at hand.

For those of us who are not familiar with dowsing, please feel welcome to learn about dowsing from Walt Woods' booklet entitled "Letter to Robin" at

http://www.discoverit.com/at/asd/robin.html

from Joey Korn through his book entitled Dowsing: A Path to Enlightenment and at his website at http://www.dowsers.com, and [add the pendulum site here]

Dowsing is most commonly known for its assistance in finding water. However, its application goes far beyond the application of finding water. In fact, dowsing can be used for finding anything, for balancing anything, for healing anything, and for generally helping us to tune in. This is because dowsing is simply a technique for tuning into our Higher Selves. Everyone and anyone can do it. People can use external tools such as pendulums, tuning forks, bobbers, Y-rods, and L-rods and/or internal tools such as breathing and intention. It is a matter of personal preference.

Why should I heal my negative karmic overlays?

Healing negative karmic overlays in our lives is recommended, because it relieves us overall of much unnecessary added stress during the course of our lives. Reducing stress in this way makes life a whole lot easier. It also reduces the overall amount of suffering experienced during the span of our lives.

Healing negative karmic overlays also supports us in raising our vibrational frequency.

Issue #11 explores vibrational frequency in depth. To review, all of life is energy and is about energy. Energy has subtleties inherent within it and they can be tuned into. Vibrational frequency is another energy subtlety. Therefore, all of life has vibrational frequencies.

The purpose of the LIGHT TIMES newsletters is to assist us and support us all in the raising of our vibrational frequencies. This is LIGHT. This is what focusing on LIGHT ultimately does.

Healing our negative karmic overlays is a very practical way to do just that ... the raising of our vibrational frequencies. Though the process isn't necessarily quick and painless, it is relatively quick and can save us much grief over the entire course of our lives.

Karmic overlays affect our lives more than we may realize. This is because:

(1) Life is energy.

(2) Everything in life is energy.

(3) Energy moves, vibrates, and resonates.

(4) Energy follows the Universal Law of cause and effect.

(5) Energy has many subtleties within it.

(6) Karmic overlays are one kind of subÝlety.

(7) Karmic overlays relate to cause and effect.

Cause and effect is very important to consider. Our actions, words, and deeds have impact. That means they have effect. They have effects in our daily lives within our current lifetime and in future lifetimes. Therefore, it is vitally important for us to be conscious in our lives - that is, to notice the impact our actions ( what we do ), our words ( what we say and how we say it ), and our deeds ( what we accomplish ) have in the world.

Karmic overlays reflect our actions, words, and deeds back to us. They offer us a gauge for seeing how our previous lifetimes may have been. They also let us see maybe even more clearly how we have been in our current life up to this point in time. Thus, karmic overlays show us the interconnectedness of time.

Krmic overlays show us the interconnectedness of time. One way they do this is through the people and the situations they bring into our lives. These are often the "same" people and the "same" situations we have experienced during our lifetimes past. Here they are again ... and we are given the opportunities to make a difference for ourselves, with them, and in the situation(s). These opportunities present us with much food for thought.

In summary then:

(1) Life is energy.

(2) Everything in life is energy.

(3) Energy moves, vibrates, and resonates.

(4) Energy has many subtleties within it.

(5) Karmic overlays are one kind of subÝlety.

(6) Energy follows the Universal Law of cause and effect.

(7) Karmic overlays relate to cause and effect.

(8) Karmic overlays show us the interconnectedness of time. They do this by showing us who and what we are attracting energetically into our lives.
