Cleansing and renewal of the planet

Hi Everyone! Thanks to Chris for inviting me to join this group. I'm not sure how he found out about me, but I'm glad that he did. I recently became a Reiki master and with this came a new wonderful gift of channeling high spirit guides. Lately I've been getting messages from my guides about the purification that will soon take place on our planet. I was told that many people would ascend, while some of us would remain to assist in the major shift that will take our planet into a higher energy level which will be one that is total love and positivity. I would like to know if anyone else has had any messages or intuitions about this shift and what your thoughts are on this. It's all a bit new to me. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this subject. With love & light, Michele
