Find Your Tribe and Create Change

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Much of what I do in my work is helping people move forward. Resistance to change is only human; yet we continually rise above our fears and beliefs and move beyond where we are…to where we want to be.

Last night I had this amazing dream about groups of people moving forward into the new. What was so incredible about this dream was that there was this energy that was created as people connected which propelled everyone forward…or upward in my dream.

I’ve been thinking a lot about groups lately, and how community plays such an important role in this global shift we are in the midst of. It can’t be denied that things are changing, and that people are coming together globally to create positive change for our world.

The message I keep getting over and over is that connecting with others, who share a healing vision, is the way we will generate enough energy to truly propel us into the new.

And although we still have our own paths — our personal evolution — to work through, it is through our connection that will generate the power to shift our awareness…our consciousness.

There certainly is power in numbers, especially when the group holds a clear intention. I’ve read that when 5% of a population adopts an idea, the idea is embedded. When 20% adopt it, it becomes unstoppable — meaning it has the momentum it needs to become mainstream.

This feeling of urgency I’ve had as of late to help create this energy which can help propel us forward, is new for me. Perhaps I am picking up on the subtle energy messages out there that now is the time. We have a window to create. And, if change is to happen…we must connect.

The Time Between…The Rising Dark

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I’m feeling the shifting of the seasons right now. Its almost as if there is a lull or a heaviness in the air, as we meet the in between time—the time between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice here in the Northern hemisphere.

Each day I feel the presence of that energy directing me to slow down. I feel it in my chest; a wanting to move within. And as each day grows shorter, more and more of the dark rises up and takes a bit of the light away.

Throughout my adult life I have always liked this time. It gives me the chance to connect with Innana and move into the underworld, to shed my layers. Some Winters call me deeper into this process than others. This year, it feels as if the call has already started.

Perhaps what I am feeling is more than just the seasonal change. After all we are undergoing a global evolutionary change which pulls and tugs at our consciousness in new ways. And those who are aware of this pull seem to have a growing sense of responsibility to change…the time is now.

But of course change is afoot all around us. And for me in this “time between,” I am asking myself the question over and over, “Where must I go within to hold a new way of being?”

The answers to this question, I am sure, lay in the rich darkness waiting for me.

Daydreamer

Monday, October 12th, 2009

I just read an article that said we daydream one third to one half of our waking hours. Wow! That seems a bit high for me, but ya never know what people are really thinking eh?!

I think it’s safe to assume that just about everyone spends time daydreaming. I’m personally a fan of the daydream. I believe that a little daydreaming does a body, mind and spirit, a lot of good. A good daydream can take us from stressed out to blissed out in no time flat.

Not all daydreams are created equal though…. We’ve certainly heard a lot about visualization, and how our mind really isn’t able to differentiate a thought we deliberately create from reality. Unfortunately many of us spend time thinking, or daydreaming, about negative concerns or fears. We get into some internal mind-feedback loop and keep rehearsing things in our heads that really don’t do us much good.

Why not instead, try to spend that half of our waking time daydreaming of possibilities that can have a positive impact on our lives now.

If you are going to let your mind wander, let it wander into a place that can lift you up and move you forward. Our imagination is such a powerful tool, lets use it for good not evil!

And, don’t toss out the good old daydream of things like sitting on the beach with our feet tucked into the warm sand, with the sound of the ocean gently rolling in and out. Ahhh. See that can help calm the nerves and rejuvenate the spirit with just a simple inner-movie.

Yes, I am a fan of the daydream. And you have my permission to now take a mini-mind break.

To your health and well being!
