Any advice on the States at Christmas?

Our advice would be to do 3 hour stretches of Meditation, getting up and walking around, stretching and doing some Yoga, maybe before you start each day. (N), put this in a palletable way. With Meditation for Second Initiation, try to do equal amounts but don’t stress about it.
For Enlightenment people may be preparing for the State by letting go, so not Meditating on the Light and Sound but going into the Stillness.
There will be times when the concentration isn’t there. There is no use in persevering, just get up, do some exercise, have a drink and start again.

In total, how much per day?

Second Initiation and Enlightenment, suggest light meals.

Hello (M). This is Phaedra and Lyla.
Firstly, We need to give you some good advice. You are better doing Yoga at home with a video but you must do it every night. You will see a big difference in your life if you do. Pick one that suits you and do it every day.
Now to the main issue – (J) The main difference between you and her is that you are a flower blooming, yes, from a seed you have grown into a beautiful flower showering your beauty all over the World. It has been such a pleasure and a privilege to watch you and work with you.
(J) on the other hand, gives the impression she has everything sussed but she hasn’t, she is really quite insecure inside. You know from talking to her that her life has been hard, with relationships going sour and feeling rejected. That kind of person feels inadequate and pushes away the very people who can give her love. Inside she doesn’t feel loveable. From the Spiritual point of view, opposite to you, she leads a solitary life but justifies it because she feels Spiritually elevated. She has certain powers, yes, and she feels special doing her inter planetary work. But her life wasn’t meant to be this way, she needed to learn humility, so you can see she hasn’t managed that – she had also come to learn about relationships.
All the ‘Lords’ are high and should be revered – her attitude is very bad. She and (D) need to talk things through when he next goes home, not on the phone.

We are the Lords of Karma come to talk with you again.
There is no need for you to worry that you are not getting the Messages correctly – by that, we mean all of Us in the Higher Dimensions, who are working in our various capacities, helping both in Our world and yours. If We feel you haven’t got it right, We repeat the concept until you do.

There is quite a bit to digest and talk over – you may wish to ask questions which We would be happy to answer.

You will have soon, that We haven’t touched upon, the enormous subject of people born in wartorn areas or severely disabled and the like. We will leave that for now and be back later, remembering that there are areas that cannot ever be fully understood while in a physical body.
