Discernment: Deciding What is Yours and Not Yours In Times of Change

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

It’s certainly not news by any means that we have been experiencing change on many levels over the past few years. It’s easy to feel bombarded with information and energy that seems to be coming at us from all sides. It’s also easy to loose site of what is real for each of us individually when at a group level there is fear, confusion and resistance to the many changes around us.

I’ve noticed over the last few weeks what feels like a surge of this group energy. The thing that I’ve most noticed is just how easy it has been for me to empathically pick up everything that is going on around me. Mostly what I am taking in is fear and confusion. And there is a lot of it to go around these days.

I feel a bit like my antenna is receiving signals from far and wide, and I have to really attend to filtering out energy that is not mine. I’ve had to stop and ask myself if what I’m feeling is coming from within, or just a reaction to something I’m noticing around me.

And in talking with people, I seem to not be alone in this awareness.

I wonder just how much of what people are experiencing are the emotions and energy that is lifting off of mass consciousness as we move through the changes in our own spiritual evolution. (more…)

Stop the Fight; Choose Where You Are and Let the Healing Begin

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

I’ve been thinking about the energy that I’ve been aware over the past few days with people that I have been in contact with. As I took a deeper look at this, I realized that there is an air of overwhelm or exhaustion present in many people these days.

Sure, there is a lot going on in the world. We can say its the recession or resources aren’t available to us like they may have been in the past; and that we are tired by the circumstances of our lives right now. And although these are trying times, this energy runs a bit deeper. It feels almost like a soulful tiredness.

We, collectively, have been asked to step into change….big change at the level of our consciousness; which of course shows itself both within and outside of us. For many, we have been moving through the layers bit by bit for several years. This change is deep, and it requires us to really let go of the old ways that we hold which just don’t work for us as we step into the new-whatever that exact place is for each of us in our spiritual evolution.

What I do see with this is that the ante has been raise, things are speeding up. With this there is a bit of weariness, almost a sense of disheartening. The thing is though, these feelings of tiredness, overwhelm and helplessness with this process comes up when we get stuck in a place of fighting where we are.

In the world of energy and spirituality we hear a lot of the law of attraction and choosing a higher vibration. And although there is a choice, when we are in resistance or really need to work with a particular energy, this idea of “just choosing something better” is impossible when we are in the fight. What I’ve been hearing from people lately is that they are trying to choose where they want to be, but they are frustrated and quite honestly, exhausted.

Fighting against what is will exhaust you.

The way out is to go inside and see where you are, notice where your energy is invested. That’s the place to start. That’s the place to choose. And if you can let go of your judgment about this place for a moment, you will find that choosing this place moves you into your power. You stop fighting. Then and only then can you see what is there, heal it and then make the next best choice. Resisting it will only take you into a struggle and wear you out.

Lean into it. Embrace it for a moment. I know that this is a scary choice as we fear we may get stuck where we don’t want to be. But if you hold the intention that you are there to heal, then you won’t get stuck. Move into it, let the place where you really are express itself.

But chose this place and stop the fight. Listen with heart when you are there and the answer will come to move yourself along your path. And the beauty is…then you get to really chose something else, as you are no longer energetically tied to where you were.

Tips to Working with Resistance: Creating Change Even When Your Unconscious Mind Isn’t So Sure!

Monday, June 8th, 2009

We all face change day in and day out. Sometimes the change is small and we glide right on through it, and other times…well not so much! But even when change is good and we are seemingly on board, resistance can rear its ugly little head; and then we are often in for a bumpy ride.

Working with people, like I do, who are focused on change, I see resistance pop up in many forms. Sometimes it can be plain as day and other times it is so well disguised that it can trick you into believing its really got your back.  Sometimes it can be evident in what people say, and other times it is held in the body’s energy—as if a wall has been put up that nobody will ever cross.

But what is this thing we call resistance?

I think of resistance as an internal emotional and energetic process, which acts as a holding pattern. Its roots however, are from patterns and processes we learned which initially served us. Our unconscious mind is great at creating those patterns as a way to “survive” our experiences, and then equally great at holding onto them for dear life when it’s time to change. It can feel overwhelming at times. Our emotional resistance can hold us back if we don’t learn to recognize it and work with it successfully.

How do we do that?  Here are the tips I share with my clients for working with, and moving through, resistance.
