What is the 5D Ascension?

We stand at the dawn of a miraculous new evolution for mankind. The Earth is ascending through a monumental shift of consciousness into the 5th Dimension - the 5th Density. But there's much confusion about what this 5D Ascension Shift means. What is really happening and how will it affect you?

Most importantly, how can you ride the changes successfully and Ascend into the higher 5D Paradigm?

Openhand has been passionately working in this field for many years, helping people around the world through evolutionary change. These articles on the 5D Ascension Shift are designed to stimulate your own inner realisations about the phenomenon...

Taking the Inner Journey to Higher Dimensions, 5D/6D/7D

Submitted by Open on

In 1973 the acclaimed mystic Ingo Swann astrally 'travelled' to Jupiter and reported it had rings around in a similar way to Saturn. The science community ridiculed him. That was until 6 years later in 1979 when the space probe Voyager physically travelled there and photographed what he saw! The entirety of the Universe is within. What we see on the outside is a reflection of our inner state. So as we contemplate the possibility of the New Paradigm in higher planes, we don't have to wait. It is right there, right now.

The time has come for humanity to unleash profound 5D/6D/7D possibility.

5D Shift: Unprecedented Mass Extinction...5 Spiritual Responses

Submitted by Open on

Creature extinction on our planet is going off the scale compared to the five previous mass extinctions. With over 200 species going extinct daily, the current rate is unprecedented in earth’s history. We’re moving now into the ‘domino effect’: the radical loss of insect species, for example, beginning to threaten countless others. Increasingly, mainstream scientific articles, journals and media, are reporting this - see the video below - and yet the majority continue life today as if it were yesterday. We must prepare now for what lies ahead.

And those ready, are invited to look in the mirror and turn their full attention to spiritual evolution, The Shift into a Higher Paradigm of Existence…

Developing Your Daily Practice for Processing Karma & Density

Submitted by Open on

There's simply no escaping it, everyone is here to process karma. This is where unrealised aspects of soul get stuck within the drama, by some form of identification, and then build internal eddy currents of energy. This causes some form of inner 'tightness', which then projects out into your world and naturally manifests reflective circumstances to activate the pain. The point being so as to process the blockage and integrate soul through the situation. Providing there's no overriding in avoidance, then this becomes the very path of life itself, the path of our self-realisation, the only thing actually happening in the Universe. It's essential to get to know and fine-tune your own personal process...

5D Shift: Unwinding the "Black Snake" Energy of the Deep Field

Submitted by Open on

Is there metaphoric truth in the Garden of Eden story? That somehow humanity has been tempted out of divine union by a shadow side "Black Snake" energy that engrosses through distorted attachment to the physical? In this sense, most definitely yes. And it's an energy that has misaligned the very foundation of society itself, creating a "deep state" or "deep field" that works to ensnare through deceptive manipulation. We see it all around surreptitiously propagated through the media. The Shift energies are now beginning to tackle and unwind this energy itself, which is a very positive development. Here's an overview exploration of how you might tackle it in your own field for the greater good...

Transitioning to 5D Consciousness: 4 Keys To Focus on the Higher Flow

Submitted by Open on

There is a movement now, a flow, and it's gathering speed. But just as the realigning movement of consciousness itself is strengthening, so is the noise and drama of the Old Paradigm. When you're inquiring, you can palpably feel the anxiety, fear and conditioning of the many who are still clinging to the vestiges of the worn out 3D/4D reality.

How the Pole Shift is Affecting Humanity and the Planet

Submitted by Open on

Although the current Pole Shift on Earth has been spoken of many times before, I do not believe the full magnitude of the effects have been truly hoisted on board. Also how this current one, combines with abrupt climate change, and Gaia's 5D shift, to create the 'perfect 3D storm' scenario. We must understand how it is increasingly not only affecting the precious biosphere in which we live, but also the electro magnetic affects on the bodymind, and how it impacts our psyche.

It is becoming crucial we confront this inconvenient truth...

5D Shift: 7 Ways for Dealing with Depressive "Grey" Energy in Your Field

Submitted by Open on

A lot of people in The Shift are reporting a good deal of depressive "grey" energy around them in the field at this time. It's heavy, dense and demotivating. It makes people feel stuck, depressed, and somehow the usual creative flow of divine manifestation is retarded.

It means that things we might reasonably expect to come to fruition, don't.

What might be the cause of this and how can we deal with it?

5D Shift: New Phase Activated - Unwinding the Karmic Construct

Submitted by Open on

We're passing through the Inflexion Point between the Old Paradigm and the New. An influx of vibrant energies pull on the tethering of the old Karmic Construct. We'll find ourselves challenged mentally and emotionally as the internal relationship constructs break apart. New 3D/5D hybrid states will create as the light breaks through. You may feel as if you have one foot in the old reality and one in the new. This can be a time of great liberation, expansion and opportunity. It all depends on how you allow yourself to perceive it - in fear and contraction as the old way of living progressively perishes? Or with excitement and adventure?

TRANSMUTATION of Consciousness in The Shift: Transform your Being

Submitted by Open on

The planetary field is changing right now in extraordinary ways: the speed of vibration is accelerating and opening up, as the new Planetary Soul "Avalonia" gets into gear. Our bodily vehicles are nothing but vibrational frequency - we can change with the ascending field, providing we go deep within, equalise with the density, but then transform it with a shift in our perceptions. We become more fluid and malleable in our existence.

5D Shift: Dealing with the Influence of Ancient Entities in the Field

Submitted by Open on

Day by day the shift gathers a pace. And as we pass through the Inflexion Point, the crossroads between the old and the new paradigms, then the karmic construct gets increasingly challenged. Many layers of the matrix have been opened up and a river of light is fast gaining momentum through it. But at the same time, we're dredging the dregs at the bottom of the barrel. I witness it stirring some very virulent and ancient 'demonic' entities. Awareness is the key to overcoming these, by steeling our resolve, we can forge sovereign souls and drop deep into Samadhi. Find the eye of the storm, and the deceptive interference that's clinging on, will wash away in its own turbulence...

Inflexion Point: The Shift gets sticky..."Tie Yourself to the Mast"

Submitted by Open on


It's getting 'sticky' and disruptive in the field out there right now. I can feel the Opposing Consciousness like an old whirlpool trying to suck people back in - every excuse why not to take the straight and narrow path forwards. If you set about following your highest truth, at times you'll feel pulled in two opposing directions. Now is not the time to waiver! Believe in yourself, believe in your soul, believe that you are connected to a higher power that has your interests, and that of all sentient life, at heart. Now is the time to push on, to breakthrough. In the stormy waters we're passing through, tie yourself to the mast my friend!...

Star Souls Processing the Impact of Sirius Karma: 5 Key Traits

Submitted by Open on

Many souls amongst us are remembering glimpses of past lives in other constellations. First Nation tribes speak of 'descending from the stars'. Our star soul heritage and karma are greatly influencing the course of events here on Earth right now. If we can gain some kind of insight on how, then it can help people rationalise what they're dealing with in day-to-day life, and ease the path through the karmic plane.

There can be nothing more impactful than the shattering Sirius B shift of 120 million years ago. Many souls have come here to process the karma of that. Maybe you have some of the Sirius archetype? Here's an outline from direct personal experience to support your shift.
