This live Transmission was shared inside the first gathering of COMMUNION Blooming, a year long garden journey of community immersed in the planetary energy theme of 2026. The Transmission itself runs approx 28.5 minutes and the remaining 10 minutes are excerpts of my teaching in response to some wonderful community prompts. No community members' voices or thoughts are shared in this public version to be clear! I felt these particular excerpts were incredibly timely with what we are seeing in the world, so I included them as well. You can still join us and access the complete session and start connecting with us in our community garden. This is away from social media in a private space. We would love to be with you there. Get the details and join below: COMMUNION BLOOMING ::: If you have an outlier "highly gifted" brain, I encourage you to look into the way this may be the single tweak that has been evading you in your lifelong pursuit of feeling your life is well-lived. Check out The OUTLIER BRAIN and the new Fundamentals of the Highly Gifted Brain.

This episode is excerpted from my Transmission in the private Earth Integration 2025 year-long group. I wanted to share the summary and look-ahead intel, and messages from and about our human experience with Earth. Join us for COMMUNION Blooming, the planetary energy theme now through 2026. At this page there are details on the container, two free episodes giving you information on the planetary energy theme, and the opportunity to register and join us in January! 🌟🌸💗

This is a beautiful guided session helping you remember the truth that we are each and every one of us completely and irrevocably held in love. It is 23 minutes of spoken transmission from me with an hour of backing music to support your enjoyment and anchoring of this energy into your body and awake awareness. It also helps you connect with the light being/angelic presence always with you in support of your human journey. The 2026 planetary energy theme is COMMUNION (see here for discussion and here for an option to join me for a year long monthly gathering and community aligned with this theme), and we begin our journey with the remembrance, integration, and embodiment of the truth of our being fully held and never alone. 🌟🌸💗 Melanie

I am periodically asked my past with Lyme and Bartonella “and friends.” This was, generally speaking, most active during 2010-2015. Recently it came up again and I decided to share more of my story here as a resource for others. As I mention in the audio, I won’t be responding to private messages on this topic at all. If you have questions, my substack page with this topic is the one place where I will do my best to provide any useful information I feel able to in response to questions.

A JUICY full hour: 1: Deep dive on what I call the Rainbow Pill and how to start working with this, especially for the highly gifted. Includes also some teaching on personal energy coherence development. 2: Discusses the current passage we are moving through and its work within us to help us re-MEMBER our intrinsic ways of receiving from which we have all been closed down in various ways. To dive more deeply into that particular work, I highly recommend you feel again into the Cosmic Child energetics. The Cosmic Child codes are the manner in which humanity shifts into embodying cosmic WISE INNOCENCE: the distilled wisdom of experience combined with the inner restoration of innocence and pure essence and the choice to live from that. Some resources for that are shared at the longer substack post for this Transmission. WISE INNOCENCE is the cosmic energy vital to our successful transition into true Differentiated Communion which is the nature, design, and purpose of this Cosmos. The correct embodiment of ME + WE opens up a new third energy, “E,” which I feel is Everyone. 3: The Transmission also discusses and shares the story, from my own perspective, of the closure and removal of the energy triangle between DC, I$r@il, Switzerland and the portal underground in I$r@il where an intended malevolent ritual would bring into above ground on Earth "the beast" energy. The audio of today’s Transmission was recorded on March 7, 2025. The portal work described occurred between approx Feb 15, 2025 and March 4, 2025 when it was completed at 2-2:15am PT. I shared the core of the story as I understood it from my partnering sister on the ground there, Merita. You can find her on FB: https://www.facebook.com/merita.batshoshan# or email her at [email protected].

New Transmission discusses the recent Earth clearings/purges, impacts on humans, and a huge opportunity for the human collective on Jan 13. My response to many requests I've gotten to share predictions of the near future of what's happening in humanity. The "Phoenix of Passion." "Every time you reject the physical, you reject Earth..." This one is for you if: 🌟 You love and want to keep entraining and traveling with the Earth 🌟 You want to see humanity's evoleap into Homo Lumens keep advancing 🌟 You've been feeling some wild clearings and purges for yourself that seem very "extra" and/or have been feeling daunted by recent large scale events you are witnessing. 🌟 You have had a very recent sudden disruption in your human experience 🌟 You are curious about why this morning and today has felt far lighter than the past few days. 🌟 You have had any experience recently of perhaps subtly (or hugely) settling rather than daring to dream the biggest passion in your soul.

This sweet stand-alone short story features Neli, Grey, Teliador, and Beldion from ELENTARI: A Cosmic Fairytale. You can listen even if you haven't read that book yet, it will make sense. It's the result of the story dropping in to me the other day and then my decision this morning to experiment with my own writing process by speaking the story aloud extemporaneously versus writing it first and then narrating the written story. I wanted to see what it would be like to dictate it (but without dictation punctuation). I found I did need some notes of a basic outline before I could comfortably start but that was all. I notice a few differences from the transcript of this and my actual writing style so in the future I'm likely to do this only as an initial step when I feel more like speaking initial scenes than writing them. Most notably in a written version of this story, I would have way more actual dialogue which I love writing but oddly didn't come out in my speaking. I didn't notice this until listening through to it. I also recording a location more conducive to my storytelling than my own ad hoc sound studio (which is basically a utility closet I've draped with heavy blankets and plopped a small table and chair into, ha ha ha!) Let me know what you think please! If you like it... Guess what? I’m readying to make the audiobook of ELENTARI: A Cosmic Fairytale available in early 2025!!! This will be properly recorded of course so the sound quality will be excellent! EPIC right? But wait! You know what’s even more epic? Here is a way that you can get it FOR FREE!! AND ALL WHILE SPREADING HOLIDAY JOY AND MAGIC!! Purchase one or more copies of ELENTARI to give as a gift this holiday season (yes you can be the recipient of this gift!) and leave a written review of it and I will give you the audiobook for free!!! (PS: to my early buyers and reviewers, you can get credit for that, just do the same! I would never leave you out of this! Your support has meant the ABSOLUTE WORLD TO MY WRITERLY HEART! Here’s the deal: Just email a screenshot of your purchase and review to support @ melaniegillespie.com with the subject “AUDIOBOOK GIFT” and you’ll be added to the list! You can get more than one copy of this, so if you are gifting the book to several people - and let’s be real what could be a better holiday gift than the elevation of joy and magic and the activation of inner star maps, amiright??? - and you think they’d also like the audiobook, please note this in your email. Reviews are the fastest and best way to spread and share the story and increase its visibility. So if you believe in the idea of a movement of stories that increase the JOY and access to magic around the world, the mission of the entire Melanie Gillespie - Author Big Stories in The Wild project, then please join me in getting the first of many out there!!...
