Transforming Transition

We are in such a time of upheaval on planet Earth.  The virus pandemic has put us all in a different place--with ourselves, with each other, with local and global systems.  We are crossing a bridge from the way life has been to what life is becoming.  Right now chaos is prevalent, and each of us is having our own experience of that reality.  Staying at home is teaching us something about ourselves.  Patterns of duality are being broken up.  New, flexible paths have not yet formed.  We are in this in-between together.  It is a large time of being in the Unknown.  We may feel fear, but that is not the truth of this time.  The fear is there for us to walk through, to release, and to say it has no power in our lives.  Love is coming forward as the truth.  All things will reorganize through Love.  Things may be bumpy for awhile, because we are learning a new way of being.  Staying centered and grounded is our task in this challenge.  This is a time of connecting with our own truth.  Each of us has this core knowing, and it will be what carries us over the bridge.

"Overnight the world changed.  It reset.  It forced us to evaluate what's important to us."                 

                            --Seth Clark, local bistro owner

"From the highest perspective your paradigm is in its final transition.  To look for truth there is pointless.  Look within."

Breaking Loose

I am feeling the energy of breaking out, of busting loose!  Some of that is my experience of springtime, and much of this feeling is coming from being cooped up and having my activities restricted.  Mostly, I feel like this "get free" energy is the larger energy call of these times.  Something in all of us is being released.  We have felt our fears with the experience of this virus pandemic.  And it also feels like it's time to release those long-held fears.  It's time to break out of our previously unknown restrictions based in fear.  We are truly born free, and the time has come to turn our faces to the sun and let that light shine in to scatter the fear and darkness.  Many people still want to be cautious, yet that will not inhibit these breakout feelings.  They are already out of their box, and we can now live outside our own boxes of limitation.  Expressing our personal freedom feels like the next evolutionary wave of our global experience together.

"Each person carries within their core the birthright of creative freedom, which, when organized and orchestrated, is the most awesome force on earth."

                                     --Bryant McGill

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

                                     --Anais Nin  

    

Reversal/Rest

We are in a time of chaos and upheaval.  This doesn't automatically translate into catastrophe or disaster.  Yes, all of our lives are disrupted.  Yes, we see a lot of warning and anxiety if we watch the news.  But what if there's an upside to this pandemic experience?  Could it be that we are in the middle of a larger change process?  All of the routine activity of our lives has been halted--shut down.  While we could react with fear, what would it be like to approach this with peace and calm?  Apart from those in the medical profession and a few others, our roles have been reversed.  Rather than filling our days and minutes with frenetic activity and structured schedules, the majority of us are pressed to "stay home."  What can be learned from this time of being at home with family, with ourselves?  Maybe we're all being invited to take a break, find some rest.     
Certainly because there is much Unknown about our lives right now, we have time to take stock:  of purpose, priority, and progress.  Is this an opportunity for old patterns to break down and new priorities to take their place?  Could we be shifting out of blind exploitation of our beautiful Earth and into an exchange with our planet that is more harmonious and meaningful?  Is our global financial system straining for something more cooperative, equitable and inclusive?  Is this an opportunity for our World to come together to express humanity in more creative and constructive ways?
I feel like we are in a time of dismantling.  People say everything will be different after this pandemic is finished.  I believe this can be true in the most positive of ways.  I invite you to consider the idea that maybe something better is coming from this time of dismantling.  This could be a time of structures breaking down and then building back up in unseen, newly possible, and amazing ways.
It's Springtime--take a walk outside!

"Both upgrade and reversal lead to change.                                               Change wisely."             

                     --Words of Progress 

"Resting in the present moment gives us a connection to stability and ease--an anchor in turbulent waters."       

                     --Tara Brach

Peace

These times are feeling so chaotic.  So many wild and dysfunctional global issues are being brought to the surface of our awareness.  It's an invitation for us to get caught up in the discordant energy, and to move into fearful or despairing places.  Still I am receiving the message for my own self care to stay calm, to stay centered and grounded, and to let the wild energies swirl separately--apart from me and my energy. So I am finding that honoring this message brings me much peace, and that my being at peace puts that energy out into the world as an alternative to the chaos and disruption.

"Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace."

                                    --Dalai Lama

"Peace can become a  lens through which you see the world.  Be it.  Live it.  Radiate it out.  Peace is an inside job."                                        

                                    --Wayne Dyer  

Being Here Now

Life is a moment to moment undertaking.  We think we need to plan, to create goals, to have clear expectations. This bypasses the here and now.  This doesn't embrace the truth of change as a constant.  So much is unknown as we move through life.  Resting with peace in this place of presence gives us a different perspective on our lives.  It gives us a different sense of security.  One that affirms our authentic selves.  There is inherent joy in every instant of our lives.  Becoming aligned with this joy is what carries us through all other unknowns of the future.

"Patience is being at peace with the process of life."

                                 --Louise Hay

Flexible

This time that we are experiencing  is all about being flexible; staying flexible.  Changes are happening in each moment.  New things are being created moment by moment.  We are being asked to pay attention, to be conscious and aware, and to allow ourselves to move with the things that come across our paths.  We are co-creating a new way of being in the world.  We are part of an incredible larger vision.  Flexibility is part of our essence, and it is being called forward in these challenging days of transformation.

"Flexibility requires an open mind and a welcoming of new alternatives."

                                            --Deborah Day

"Be infinitely flexible and constantly amazed."

                                                       --Jason Kravitz 

  

                                           

       

Release and Allow

We are in a large transition in the world right now.  So many structures that have been in place for a long time are having their weaknesses uncovered.  Consequently, there is a release of the old energy and then there is an opportunity to allow something new to emerge.  The result of this new emerging could be the creation of something entirely unique and different.  Or it could be a transformed version of the original.  Either way, as the old or negative ways are being released, fresh energies are coming forward to create a new structure.  I am feeling these changes happening in my own life.  I have been releasing old energies that are not helpful to me anymore.  I am opening to what might want to move into the space created by these releases.  This process happens on a daily basis, and changes come in every moment.  This is a time to fine tune our listening skills, to pay attention, and to move toward activities with which we find ourselves aligned.  Our core essence is connected with the workings of the Universe.  Our task is to stay on our true path by allowing it to unfold step by step.

"As you allow flow and change to occur, and as you keep looking inward, letting go of situations that cause you grief, and increasing the amount of time spent in situations that allow you to be happy, your world will change."
