Here is a channeling from John Armitage aka Hari Das Baba the founder of Shamballa MDH. I found it to be very pertinent to the times we are living and wanted to share it with you.</p>
<p>April 2007, I am Quan YinÂ….</p>
<p>I come to give you the message that if you laugh, it will be easier to become love. Many ones think that this spiritual life is serious, that all ones should have straight faces and be thinking, &#8220;I am Love, I am Light. I will not enjoy myself because it is not spiritual. Laughing in the presence of Mother/Father God is not allowed.&#8221;<br />
<span id="more-533"></span><br />
I come to tell you that Mother/Father God loves laughter, and the main part of this message is &#8211; learn to laugh at yourselves. Because when you learn to laugh at yourselves, you will be able to let go of this seriousness, to let go of this fear and conditioning from which you all suffer. When you laugh, you will release waves of energy that ripple through the universe. Not only through the universe but through the multi-dimensional universes.</p>
<p>When you laugh in the third dimension many beings enjoy this laughter and laugh with you. So remember, make jokes about yourselves. It is a good way to get through your blocks, making jokes about yourselves. Learn to laugh when you see something in yourself, when you see habits, these habit patterns, within yourselves that you have been suffering from &#8211; energies that have been holding you back through fear. Let them go by laughter. Don&#8217;t run around saying, &#8220;How can I deal with this? How can I let this go?&#8221;</p>
<p>Laugh! Laugh, because laughter is the essence of love.</p>
<p>And when you can laugh at yourself, remember that you are also being compassionate towards yourself. Many ones would say, &#8220;I am a compassionate being. I am compassionate to all.&#8221; And then would add as an after thought, &#8220;But how can I be compassionate to myself?&#8221; How can you be a compassionate being if you are not compassionate to yourself? Being compassionate to oneself is true compassion. So learn to laugh.</p>
<p>Spiritual life, I tell you, is not serious. It is the conditioning of the priests and priestesses that tell you that you must not laugh in the presence of God. They forgot that the presence of God is everywhere, that God IS. So were they telling us that we must not laugh at all, anywhere upon Earth or even on any other planet, or through the multi-dimensional universes, should people not laugh? I say &#8211; keep laughing. Remember these jokes, because as you make jokes about yourself, you will learn a lot about yourself, and instead of saying, &#8220;I hate this man, my Self,&#8221; &#8211; laugh! Laugh, &#8220;O.K. I have this habit, it is funny. It is not something that I should be sorry for and hide, because I think that I am not worthy.&#8221;</p>
<p>All ones are worthy in the eyes of God, my children. So take this laughter, take this energy of laughter and use it. This message of laughter that I bring you, you don&#8217;t have to sit and you don&#8217;t have to open up your hearts to receive laughter. The laughter is already within you. So now we have a new form of yoga. It is called Laughter Yoga, and this Laughter Yoga means that instead of being serious for five hundred years, and starving yourself and denying yourself, you can now laugh for five hundred years.</p>
<p>And instead of being half starved, half crazy, filthy and all the other things that you did with yoga for five hundred years, after five hundred years you will be beautiful. You will have no lines upon your faces except the lines of laughter, not the lines of fear. You will not have wrinkled foreheads and brows. You will have lines around your mouth, you will have lines around your eyes that when you laugh, they twinkle and move. You will become whole through laughter.</p>
<p>So my message is, start today practicing this Yoga of Laughter. This Yoga of Laughter will enlighten you.</p>
<p>Think of this word &#8220;enlightenment.&#8221; It has been used upon this planet for thousand of years. &#8220;I want to become enlightened.&#8221; But if you break up this word &#8220;enlightened&#8221; it is &#8220;en-lightened.&#8221; People would ask, &#8220;Why would I want to become light?&#8221; Because you will become enlightened. That is why you want or need to become light. It is very, very simple. I will leave you with one final thought, and this is &#8211; why can angels fly? Because they are light!</p>
<p>Remember these words, and most of all my message of laughter. Laughter Yoga is the lesson of the day. Bless you all my children.</p>
<p>I AM LOVE, IAM LIGHT,. I AM The Mahatma, WAKE UP AND DREAM</p>

First off, I want everyone to know that Reiki is a beautiful, loving healing system. There is nothing &#8220;wrong&#8221; with Reiki. I go to Reiki Open House gatherings all the time. The ego is the only thing that comes in and says that one thing is better than another, so please be open minded. There are lots of different types of healing or energy modalities around these days. Some may resonate with you and some may not. For the people that wish to know the difference between Shamballa MDH and Reiki please read on.</p>
<p><strong>History:</strong></p>
<p>The traditional Reiki system was created by Dr. Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk. He developed the Reiki system from ancient symbols that he found in Sanskrit texts and combined them with some Buddhist symbols. Three to four of Dr. Usui&#8217;s original symbols are from Saint Germain’s original 22-symbol Atlantean system. Reiki was what people were ready for in the beginning of the 20th century and it remains a wonderful healing energy. Humanity is now ready for so much more! It is good to grow and be ready to expand with the energies and with the times. Shamballa is what Reiki has grown into and beyond. The Shamballa energies grow and expand along with the Earth-their vibrations rise along with hers. The non-Atlantean symbols of Reiki do not grow, but remain in their old vibration, which back then was highly advanced, but in current times has been surpassed. We are ready to move on, with gratitude. This is not to say that Reiki energies no longer work, or to cast any aspersions on the Reiki system, which is very beautiful. Reiki is not Shamballa, and Shamballa is not Reiki.</p>
<p>Shamballa Multi-dimensional healing was created in 1996 by John Armitage/Hari Das Baba. He channeled this information from Saint Germain and the rest of the  Shamballa masters. Saint Germain called down the original system from Source during Atlantean times. He and a few friends used the energies of the original 22-symbol system to raise the frequency of beings who were being enslaved. This uplifting change in frequency empowered them to free themselves from slavery. This was the original “healing&#8221;, raising vibrations to assist beings in this time so that they have the capability to realize their own personal power and take control of their own freedom. This has not changed, just expanded. The current Shamballa MDH system now covers at least 352 levels of creation back to the divine Source. The first Shamballa MDH system created in 1996 and was called 1-4, which activated students to the four dimensional energies of Shamballa. This system was used for many years then in 2002 13D Shamballa was created previously known as 12+ 1. The 13D activations that we use today connect you to the 12 dimensions of Shamballa energies, plus the 13th activation which connects you with new energies as they become available to humanity.</p>
<p><strong>The difference in the Activations:</strong></p>
<p>Reiki to me offers several great technical aspects of healing. In a Reiki class students learn about the chakras, hand placements, self healing, distant healing, and other clearance and healing techniques. Traditionally there are four levels, Reiki I, Reiki II,  Reiki Master and Reiki Master Teacher. Each of the activations/attunements are specific symbols drawn on the forehead area of the student by the teacher.  Since each symbol has a specific energy tied to it, you are limited to that specific energy. Everyone gets what they came for but no more. So what if you are open to receiving more? This is where the use of symbols is restricting.</p>
<p>In a Shamballa MDH workshop, you receive the activations that you are currently open to receive. Everyone does not receive the same energy level at the same time, but receives as much as each one is able to handle at any given time. So in a class of twenty different people, there may be twenty different activations depending on their level of awareness, development, and needs (according to their Divine will at this time). The more clear one is, the more light can come in. This is the reason for all the clearance meditations done in a 13D workshop and is also the reason why the workshop lasts for 4 days. So by the end of the workshop, you have cleared things that may have been hanging around through lifetimes. In combination with all this clearing, you are activated to the energies of Shamballa. The combination of all these clearings and activations gives you a tremendous amount of &#8220;clarity&#8221; and power to live your life without fear or judgment. Often the clearings continue after the activations, sometimes for weeks or even months. Some people receive the activations in steps or stages, according to the will of their own I Am Presence. This again is dependent on the clearing work they have done before and during the Shamballa MDH workshop. You get what you are ready for and that makes you ready for more and more! Once you are activated to the Shamballa MDH energies, all you have to say or think is “Shamballa on!”. Doing this brings in the full spectrum of 352 &#8220;symbols&#8221; and more. You can then use this energy for healing yourself or others.</p>
<p><strong>In conclusion:</strong></p>
<p>Shamballa Multi-Dimensional Healing is not a technique, but a way of facilitating wholeness and freedom. It is about self empowerment through pure unconditional love. We are each in control of our own reality. It is time for you to wake up and dream.</p>
