April 2010: Sparks and a Flood
This has been an incredible week! The sparks started flying on the 6th and it’s as if the flood gates have opened up since then! People have been reaching out to try to hang on and working hard at ”boomeranging” the energy to harness and direct it.
Sparks & Acceleration
There were an excessive amount of energetic sparks flying on the 6th and it really got my attention… It takes a fair bit to get my attention these days as I’m in the midst of a personal creation process which fills my time, to say the least. So, let’s break this down:
The sparks ignite at the moment of release whereas the build up has typically gone on for at least a little while. Think static electricity. These sparks have different color depending on the aspect or characteristic the change. For example:
- Blue indicates release or rapid change (good and bad)
- Red is passion (good and bad)
- Yellow is ideas (good and bad)
You get the idea.
I used the word ‘release‘ and also above I used the words ‘flood gates.’ It is important to say what it’s NOT: You were not holding anything back that you needed to ‘let go of.’ This is an important point of distinction because the sparks aren’t linear. Otherwise I’d see lines at the least or a process instead.
Also mentioned is ‘build up‘ and that is really no different than the build up to any other event. To go to work, you have to ‘build up‘ to the moment you walk out your front door… ideally you will have taken care of hygiene, food, and appropriate attire. Less ideally (in my opinion), you stroll around in your pajamas as seems to be the fashion these days. So, you can see that it is a natural process rather than the kind of pressure build up as in a dam.
It is closer to transformation or activation or birth or emergence. Even with the blue above, it is NOT about ‘processing’ stuff or a conversion of thoughts.
It is NEW energies, beliefs, insights, flare ups… This in itself can be a tough concept because almost all of what we know is ‘laddered information,’ meaning that we relate to it through something else and build on that. (In school they work on strengthening that to make learning easier.)
The word ‘release‘ is only applicable in that the NEW info can’t co-exist in the same context as the old. Imagine realizing that the earth was round. You can believe only one of the thoughts: flat or round… And, realizing the earth is round changes *everything about: exploration and discovery, shipping, safety concerns, tidal observations… So, in that sense you’d have to ‘let some stuff go,’ but it’s not the central point.
The central point (the spark) occurs the moment you have the realization. The rest is just a cascade effect.
The energy flow that we’re in is the cascade effect from whatever opened up for you at the time of the sparks. It kind of reminds me of going down a water slide because the event / incident / insight provoking sparks change everything. You can’t go back up the waterslide any more than you can un-know that the world is round, to keep with our examples.
This is unique for each person because the scenarios in your life will set you up for particular directions & growth and you can’t see what you’re not ready to see… Actually, you can but it just won’t be meaningful or make a difference to you: it is similar to showing a baby a briefcase full of a million dollars.
So, what do you do about it? Think about the water slide example… You’ve got choices:
- Lay down and make it a hell of a ride! (my choice)
- Sit up and pace yourself (recommended if you are stressed)
- Flail wildly and try to get off (not recommended as it will just cause problems)
In pacing yourself, I’d recommend going ‘back to the basics’ – whatever that means to you. Return to a foundational level rather than trying to find a new answer at this point. After all, you are going down the chute – it’s not the time to go shopping for a new swimming suit.
You are never alone and consider these dawnings opportunity to ”lower your center of gravity” to create more stability in your life. In the Grande Scheme of Things, it looks like it can pass pretty quickly, not unlike a waterslide and you definitely get choice as to whether you will do it again or not.
Energy Dynamic ~ Response Request
Even with the current seminar series in full swing, I couldn’t not notice the energies of this last week. This is a request for feedback on any exceptional events / occurrences / changes that have been going on for You.
Window of Opportunity
This has been utterly fascinating since I’ve been noticing a pressure / flow for the last month or so… I’d say into early February. (You can check back issues of this newsletter.) For me it has been building in Gratitude and of course since I follow my nose, I chose to amplify that sense with the events and choices in front of me and I consciously put on my ‘gratitude colored glasses.’
Well, it is reaching epic proportion where people in general are looking *so good to me! And my family is getting a bit tired of it – except my husband. In real terms, my boys just roll their eyes when I come at them for another hug… and they’ve taken to running away… but not far (and it’s become a great way to unify them when they are bickering – sorry for the aside).
Their response made me suspect that the energy movement might be on more of a personal level, causing me to largely ignore it as far as a radar blip of energetic signatures… except that the energetic influences on others in my more immediate field started showing ‘signs and symptoms’ of this same frequency.
It’s not a necessarily a love fest of hugs, but more like an invisible door(s) that we chose to pass through. I noticed it last about a week (we’re still in the tailings of the energy, but not for long since it’s pretty much done) with the cresting point feeling strongest around last Wednesday March 10. It was just after that when I noticed the largest ‘whoosh’ of manifestation in my life and the reverberations of decisions made and repercussions waving through people.
It has been another period of more than usual crisis calls from people looking for bearings & assistance in clearing the fog. It was absolutely amazing to be able to watch them, unassisted by me except in the wings as an observer, literally choose one door and then *change their minds mid-stride*, once the energies had *already been engaged*.
This is rare.
This is also not easy. So, Congratulations to those who are choosing their Higher Vision as the guiding light in creating the lives they want. As a general statement, there is never a better moment to do it than NOW, and your courage to continue doing this is to be commended.
This brought up the topic of where to place your attention. It has to be sort of divided and united on three general fronts:
- The Higher Vision: Soul stuff such as: “To be you” & “To help the world”
- The Horizon Point: Your goals such as: career, relationship, money, health
- The Now: You are where you are with what you have. These are your tools and where you have to start in taking the first step towards your goals.
To be distorted on these fronts would end up as ‘pie in the sky’ dreaming, Longing or the shadow manifestation, ungroundedness.
To be single minded on one of these fronts would leave you self-centered, a dreamer, lost feeling.
To be aligned with these three will speed manifestation, fulfillment, wisdom.
It looks like we just came through a door and I’m curious as to what direction you took, how it affected you and the decisions you made and why. Feel free to post on the blog so the reference can be clear for more people at large. If you’re shy, you can post anonymously or reply to me.
Nudgings & Whispers
Now that the answers from the last newsletter “Follow and Empower the Flow” have been investigated, there is natural and appropriate to draw attention to the flow and movement.
Water imagery is coming to mind (much as I’ve been trying to shake it). I would prefer an air or wind imagery given the tree examples of last month, but water it is. When I try to force it, instead of what I want to see, I see a cooperation of earth, air and water. Cooperation is good and I’d like to investigate it further…
Water, Air & Earth ~ Eternity Through You
The thing is, the current energies feel like more than just a potentiality. It feels like there is already something…
-> on the water currents
-> in the air flow
-> germinating in the earth
- The water imagery is tied to currents and flow. The water has a sweeping fluidity and I”m recalling that water is considered the most powerful element on earth. If you doubt it, consider the Grande Canyon.
- I wanted air currents, but the feel of it is too intangible and is more representative of thought, imaginings & ideas. Yet, without this, there is no starting place. (and we can reference the trend from last month)
- The earth consideration looks, feels, smells like opportunity in real terms. Consider a dandelion seed as an idea whispering on the wind, waiting to be granted the opportunity to land and grow.
So, reflecting on the water in extra-dimensional terms, it can be considered:
- The feminine, the child, inspiration and ideas
- The emotional, flowing, moving and changing
- The second chakra, our relationships and who we are to another
- The moon, cycles, seasons and change
- Cleansing, clearing, revealing
This is not a small influence in our lives, and yet it can happen – I feel it happening – in a way that feels natural and progressive. It is usually in hindsight that you can check in and find out how much things have changed.
Consider our example of the Grande Canyon: It has been flowing almost eternally (+/- 17 million years) & the flow that created it is just consistently doing what it has always done.
If you consistently hold your Higher Vision and Do What You Do in Honor and Grace, the impact will be profound and also leave a profound mark on the Earth.
The Universe will always have more information on ‘Your Bigger Picture’. Keep putting one foot in front of the other in regard to your choices.
Keep your eyes open & your ears perked for the gentle nudgings and whispers of guidance that come as signposts on the earth, ideas on the wind because they are all indications of the Supportive Flow.
Follow & Empower the Flow
Sent via email 01 Feb 09
What are you noticing in the air around you?
Last newsletter, I suggested the energy was of Phoenix Rising (out of the fire). When there’s fire, there’s smoke, but that’s clearing now. What’s left? This might sound silly, but after you are done looking at the obvious, take a moment to look at what is in between the more solid bits… If all of space is a tree, look between the leaves. Where is their movement coming from?
Black & White (and gray)
As the energies within and around us are transitioning (and elevating), the world can look a little more black and white. The shadows are a little deeper and it looks like the sun is shining a little brighter. This puts us in a particular position: *we see more* While you wouldn’t think of that as necessarily problematic, it does mean that as our view changes we become more responsible.
What does the view and responsibility have to do with each other anyway?
Well, if you are reading this, you are probably someone who is committed to yourself: your Growth and your Truth. You are brave, courageous and willing to be wrong, see clearly and honor All that Is around you.
(This is as compared to someone who is just going about living life casually and without much conscious thought to their deeper purpose; not incorrectly, simply at a different layer.)
When the smoke clears before you, you see more clearly and appreciate different flow around the circumstances that might have been in a gray zone before. Whatever is there, is there presenting you with a choice:
- Align with your new view, or align with the pre-existing view.
Sounds simple. Maybe if you live on a desert island by yourself. Different people will see different things, draw different conclusions and make different choices. It is your job, as the responsible person that you are, to stay true to yourself while cooperating with others and Universal forces; follow & empower the flow.
This is where many people get caught.
- It is simple because you know your truth.
- It seems hard because of the change. Especially when the change affects everything around you.
What about compromise?
- Do you hold to your truth hard and fast?
- Do you create time (wait or use patience) for the physical adjustments?
- Do you pretend you never saw or know?
Your choice will be a unique blend determined by your past experiences, your goals, your soul contracts / relationships, your motivations, your willingness…
Hard fast truth shrinks the timeline. Can you cope with the accompanying stress of rapid change? If you are excessively considerate of others, is there enough of yourself in the equation to avoid resentment? (it’s your choice after all) Are you going to ignore your truth because the perceived risk is too high? For how long? What can you live with? Consider external motivations that will give temporary & unfulfilling result: martyr, hero, provider, addict… (yes, they are the archetypes)
There is no ‘right’ answer because you are an aspect of All that Is, but your motivation will determine if you feel stuck, liberated, resentful, excited… The *only* approach that will ever feel right is the approach that:
- Honors You First, Within Creation
Put another way: Honoring your leaf on the tree of life.
And knowing that you aren’t just the tree, but the wind that moves the leaves, too.
This is huge, but the gist of it comes back to my 2 rules:
- Do your best.
- Be true to yourself.
Lastly, in keeping with the tree example, you are lovingly supported by a solid tree trunk and using this as a visualization or as a meditative exercise will work to help you maintain your focus.
With many Blessings from me to you.
Blazing a New Trail in 2010
Well, the aftershocks of December are pretty much over and there’s been distinct movement into the New Year. The expected collective force of expectation for January is building and you can capitalize on this if you wish, but I’m more focused on something deeper.
Phoenix Rising
We’ve come through ‘death’ and are now faced with *phenomenal opportunity. Sure, there will be some more minor after-shocks (expect life to still happen), but the underlying factors once you get past your perception of your current events is one of Creation. This doesn’t happen in this way very often.
- It reminds me of growing new skin; not stretching, but more like a snake who is bigger and better and more comfortable once it goes through transformation.
- It reminds me of rising out of the ashes after a trial by fire in a way that is kind of like inspiring new expression and liberating of old beliefs.
- It reminds me that life is precious and that the greatest act of gratitude to the Universe is to embrace your gifts and make them useful on Earth.
Dimensionally Speaking:
3D: Affirm your direction. Choose and commit to your direction. Look at all the usual problems that inevitably come up with the lens of your new perspective. *This is critical to solidify your New Way of Being.
4D: Everyone has doubts & fears. Use this energy to break through into new frontiers. It will feel like running with your eyes closed, but you have them open, luckily. The sensation comes from new-ness. This can be eased by rallying with your extended community. (Family often has too many ideas about the Way You Are to be supportive in this context. They can be there for you in other ways.)
5D: This is where your eye has to be. Considering the energies in a vertical fashion, if you are the Phoenix Rising, where are you rising to? (To greater heights of your soul’s expression on earth, in case you thought it was a trick question.) It’s true that you are perfect just as you are, but if you are lacking fulfillment and joy in your life, then think of this as the best way to achieve what you’re seeking; actually it’s the only way, but we can muddle along pretending for a good long time.
What are the keys? Not so strangely, they are the usual keys:
- congruence
- action
- introspection
- structure
- inspiration
- focus
Notice that these are all broader concepts, not something actionable like ‘journal’ or ‘make a plan.’ The tools such as I just mentioned come next and are as limited as your imagination which is why I recommend letting go of what you think you know – this opens you up for new possibilities. That’s the great part… the adventure and the fun.
What then is the experience? Necessarily, it is unique. However, it really does feel a lot like liberation, so long as you choose liberty. It also feels like that ache that comes when you dive into cold water. It’s a cold water reality bath if you choose to have another dimension of reality revealed. It is a fork in the road… and this window of choice is time limited which is why I said it doesn’t happen this way often.
We always have potential and there is always ‘this moment’ in which to create transformation, but this is something special. There’s a real opportunity to get into synch with deeper, richer currents through a ‘seize the day’ mentality.
Whatever you choose, know that the Universal perspective is, ‘It’s all good.’ This isn’t a pressure thing, and you won’t miss out. Why? Because you’ve been choosing for the last little while and it is an extension of that. Your life flows through you, so ‘missing out’ doesn’t apply.
We are stronger together as community. We can each add to another’s greatness without threatening our own. We can all grow, expand and celebrate together and create exponentially great life experiences.
December 2009 – Death
Originally written and sent via email newsletter 28 Nov 09.
…………………………
This is different from the ‘pop-up’s’ that I reported about the last time, not that the difference is easy to tell without putting your finger directly on it. I almost don’t want to talk about it, but I must…
It’s Death
There were some foreshocks, but today and yesterday there were some earthquakes in the ethers that landed hard. It’s not done, either… we can expect more quakes through the beginning of the week and not until then will the aftershocks begin. Sound promising? It is!
The first thing that I want you to know is that you can transform quickly through this. No, not the death part. That goes in a linear sense, but you can choose to spring quickly out of the ashes.
It will be ugly if you stand engulfed in flame worrying about how hot the lava is.
Instead, bump your energy up a notch or two and UNITE with the flame, passionate and consuming, but without vengeance or aim. The earth is a natural force (um.. ‘nature’… ‘the forces of nature’) and as with any ‘force’ it can be used, if you take care. Care is, as always, a key component in whatever I tell you.
What are some signs and symptoms?
- crying and lots of it. (with accompanying tantrums loud or silent)
- dying machinery (no it’s not just my own personal technological issues this time)
- *drastic transition both chosen and surprise
What is the theme or triggering root?
In a word: *responsibility*
This would seem to be contrasting, if you’ve been paying attention… (what in 3D isn’t?)
How does a BEing Flame take responsibility for burning? This is, after all, what I’m telling you the ‘antidote’ to this energy trend is… If it just IS, how does it take responsibility?
Let’s parallel fire to a lower human system.
- Directing this through thoughts and emotions would be a manipulation.
- Flowing with it is a Sacred honoring. Why?
Look at the fire as a triad. Yes, I learned the Zen of Fire at a profound level when I was a forest firefighter. (Remind me to tell you of the time I burned my eyelashes off.)
Fire is a relationship of Heat, Fuel, Air. Lose any one of those and you no longer have fire. You might still have the lava, but not the fire. It is the hyper-focus on anyone of the three that will cause an imbalance and it will ultimately destroy itself. Believe it or not, it happens with people, too. This is where the affirmation, “I am not my emotions,” and the like come in.
In order for it to be in Sacred Flow, it must honor itself through the All of what It Is uniquely each flare up. Back to elemental nature forces… think in terms of breath which ‘offers’ itself to us to become integrated within our systems, used, exhausted and recycled. That’s the flow. You simply *can’t force it. It never looks the same, so don’t buy into it. *With care, you can offer artificial respiration to somebody in distress, but you can’t make them live.
Now we’re full circle back to death. Consider it an offering. Don’t skip ahead to the rebirth too soon. Be Present to the Sacred transitions and when it is done, you can be done and move fluidly onto whatever’s next. Don’t linger either. Stay present. Unfold & evolve with Honor.
With Love and Encouragement, Nina
November 2009 – Pop Ups
We just got past Halloween and it kicked off a very interesting time… It sort of reminds me of groundhogs. Spiritual gophers, if you will. On the other hand, if we are to keep with the ‘slide on the playground’ theme from last time, it would be like extra slides being installed with no real warning for the kids…
Pop-Ups Versus Miracles
The reports have been coming in one after the other about great and unexpected things coming from nowhere. Great as in ‘great drama’ and the interpretation is just that – an interpretation. Either it will go your way, or it won’t. Interestingly, and maybe it’s because I associate with a hugely positive crowd, it’s been mostly good pop-ups, but either way it is a lower 4D pattern.
Why are they so unexpected? From what I’ve told you before, it is usually denser and easier to perceive the closer it gets to 3D reality… What’s going on?
It has to do with the personality investment in the archetypes (electromagnetic field). You get so invested in the role, that you don’t see clearly. I’m certainly not immune with my fair share of constructed drama in the last month (life), but the trick is to keep your focus on what is real versus what is not real… and don’t let the fact that it’s happening in 3D fool you.
Hmm… Let’s explore 3D. If you have an ‘actionable thought’ which is false, it doesn’t make it less actionable, so you can’t count on solidity. If you can’t count on the originating thought form either, what’s left? Feelings? Guess again – they’re too transient. Your soul? Well, that might be good if you’re *in touch* with it, but… (I just gave you a hint) when you are in a drama, usually a ‘Holy’ archetype shows up instead.
The key piece is the consciousness. It’s the consciousness that directs the identity through the dimensions. The consciousness has expression via the archetypes. It doesn’t have to get lost in them, although it often does which is why we have drama and unexpected events or pop-ups.
In the timeline these look different than *miracles* that are also perceived as popping in out of nowhere. From my point of view, a miracle is more of an appreciation thing because, even though it’s corny, it’s true that life itself is a miracle. Miracles have iridescence. Pop-ups have surprise. Miracles are usually apparent in the moment. Pop-ups can be received positively or negatively in the moment and re-interpreted in hindsight.
I’d love to share an example: As many of you know, I’m doing an audio program and after a pre-recorded session, I though I *lost the audio! Lost as in not recorded and with no back-up system to capture it. Gone is my opportunity to have this speaker on my show (and I missed him the last time since he’s pretty elusive). Gone are the days of my life spent booking him, researching him, planning around him. With such an occurrence, why would he want to work with me again? So, gone is the opportunity to share his work on my series totally. Next gear… now I have to find, research and approach someone. Get them up to speed and schedule them in less than 2 weeks! *Gasp!
That’s as far as I got when… lo-and-behold – the audio popped-up in my software! Like a miracle! — But not in the genuine sense of the word because coming out of my own self-constructed drama just means that I came out of my self-constructed drama. If you wanted me to finger the miracle in this whole thing, it is the moment I allowed in the clarity to be witness to my own drama because that gives a *genuine reference for *Truth.
I could have kept the drama-ride going… “What else can go wrong?” or “Wow! The Divine really stepped in this time!” Not. The Divine never went anywhere or came in from out of nowhere. It was the clarity; not the build up, not the event or not the dissipation of the construct. You can see why I would refer to this as a ‘good pop-up’ though because things went my way.
So what can be done about recognizing pop-up’s versus miracles? Use your tools: Walking, meditation, breaks, diving deeper within, talk with friends… Really, it’s not what is happening, it how you face it. These ‘surprises’ don’t have to throw you off your center. Think of life as an adventure or a treasure hunt and you’ll be fine. It’s a bit like Indiana Jones. Or, now that there are more slides on the playground, it’s not more to deal with, it’s more fun to be had!
With warm hugs and a big smile, Nina
October 2009 – Your Friends and Your Reality
The pressure to send this message cannot be ignored any longer! It has been highlighted for roughly a week and the energies are landing in 3D better now so it’s important that you know what’s going on.
Reality – Build on Gains
There has been massive change since the last post. It seems to me that it is a set up for the ‘official’ New Year in January. That could go without saying since each minute is the setup for the next, but let me tell you what I see and you can gauge it with your circumstances.
It looks like a slide or a chute into 2010. My hope is that people won’t see it as a landslide with the perception that their world is crumbling, but here in duality there is that potential. Ultimately I’d like to see people reminded of children on a playground on the slides. They love it and cycle around again and again to experience the fun and the thrill. They don’t regret the descent because it’s part of the fun. They don’t resent having to run around again & the climb because it’s part of the fun. Why is all that work fun? It’s perception.
For the strugglers: The nature of the difficulty is change and the ability to see a *new* way. It seems that most are looking, but in the same places. This nets you more struggle, reinforcing the same patterns and leading you to ask the same questions about your situation. This is fine in the grande scheme of things with the creation of more time which you can use to find out more about the energies around you, but be aware though that this is *only* about satisfying the mind. If we are to keep with the slide theme, it would be like circling it and checking the screws & the landing, analyzing the frequency of the children coming down, assessing for adult supervision, standing at the bottom and wondering why you weren’t at the top…
The key is to ask the question, “What’s beyond this?” Next is, “Show me the first step.” Then you need to allow for time as you take one after another. Of course you don’t have to go at all, but once you get to this point, if you don’t take the step you will likely have regret, which undermines your quality of life. The only caution would be to ensure that it’s a safe step to take.
Fear of change or failure doesn’t make it unsafe; just make sure you have qualified support. Also, you don’t have to go on the big slide. You can get used to this by taking the smaller ones. If the slides represent experiences, it is prudent to only embrace what you can handle. For example, don’t start a business without first seriously considering accounting, permits & licenses, marketing; look for a mentor, analyze the market… The small slide might be any one of those components.
For those sailing along: My only caution would be to keep your grip on reality. Remember that even when things are going great, you need to be able to see clearly and not slip on your tinted glasses.
Friends and Freedom
I referred to friends, but what have friends got to do with the above? Ease and grace.
Maybe they’ve been there. Maybe they can see a new path you hadn’t noticed. Maybe they can hold your hand. The excitement is easier to hold with friends. Friends help us put the icing on our cookies. Friends celebrate at our parties (I have held cookie decorating parties). The type of friendship I’m talking about isn’t clingy and needy. There is more about personal news than gossip or personal struggle. It isn’t about what’s wrong, because that acts like mud in your energetic field. It’s not about being saved or rescue, unloading or dumping on someone, reinforcing drudgery and agreeing on hopelessness.
Yes, your friends can be there for you in hard times, but the energy I’m referring to is clearer and helps create understanding that can be *acted* upon either with advice or by simply figuring it out yourself in front of a sympathetic ear. This is an energy of support through mutual opportunity… freedom.
This can be the opportunity to:
- laugh
- give or receive a hand up and collaboration
- gain perspective
- meet more / new people
- generate increased independence
- celebrate synchronicities
- see better / greater ways
- find out about your uniqueness
- own your differences
- pinpoint your goals…
It is important to remember:
- you are not alone although you are independent
- we are all in this together and our gains will be exponential with unity
- collaboration means not just support, but acceleration too.
I’m at the top of the slide and will keep you posted.
September 2009 – Feeling the Squeeze
I held off writing as I have been assessing and working with the latest trend. For about 3 weeks now, there has been a steady energetic squeeze occurring from which we are just coming out. This has been barely noticeable for most looking like ‘ruffled feathers’ that come from out of the blue, but barely endurable for others looking more like a steep mountain hike.
Happy New Year, before I forget to slip that in. Actually, I’m looking at how that factors into what’s going on…
Happy New Year!
There are distinct layers to this one: small and subtle and yet cumulative to a large outcome, if you allow it. Relating to the imagery above, I went on a steep mountain hike while drinking some lemonade (literally) to see if I could provoke some type of something. Nada. Nothing… except a good workout. (I’m not crazy, it was opportunistic rather than planned.)
Part of my struggle in fingering this one is the imagery I’m getting:
- Birthing, but from the perspective of: a warm, happy and slightly cramped baby squeezed out into a cold, bright and exposed world. This lasting for moments until the nurturing kicks in.
- Lemons and mountains.
- A vice.
- Ruffled feathers.
** and the whole thing is hollow.
It’s like there has been revealed another level of understanding on how trapped / stuck / bitter / hard life is, and yet also knowing absolutely that that is *not* the way it is. It’s like feeling squeezed in a vice, feeling the reality of that and yet knowing there just has to be acknowledged that it doesn’t exist.
The traumas that people have been bringing to me are very real. The lack of ability to realize dreams or put visions into physical motion is very real. Interpersonal struggles and internal struggles are dense and real and sorrowful.
How do you say to someone that it doesn’t exist? Especially when there is a bridge to happiness and freedom that they can’t see or make just as real as the hardship. I hear many people nodding with me.
The problem is that the answer is so simple. Don’t strive. Don’t try to create. Don’t have a goal. No, I’m not talking apathy. I’m not saying that you need to sit on your sofa more in order that life will be easier. It won’t. I’m saying that it’s in the striving that you are acknowledging a need to struggle. I’m saying that to have a goal means that you lacking that which you are seeking.
This concept is nicely addressed in The Legend of Baggar Vance by Steven Pressfield. “Act, … but act without attachment, as the earth does. … The rain falls, with no thought of watering the land. The clouds roll, not seeking to bring shade. They simply do. And we must too.”
It is the act of Being. Being okay. Being happy. Being content. Being in alignment with nature; the nature of existence. Being you. This is Being You unfettered by the past or the future, but being empowered by causes and effects.
There are no lemons or mountains to climb. There is no vice or ruffled feathers. There is no need for a bridge of consciousness. Just Be with the Fullness of your Soul and the Song in your Heart. You won’t even consider sitting on the sofa. Really.
When transforming your consciousness and considering your new approach, I would suggest using a mental mentor: a toddler. (Not the tantrum part.) Take as a model: the curiosity, fearlessness, the security, the unselfconsciousness, the playfulness, the messiness, the newness… See where it takes you.
I was joking a couple of months ago that my motto should be, “It’s all about me!” (I mean that as a focus for everyone with tongue in cheek.) In reality though, your life will *never* be about someone else. So, don’t talk to me about service or being called to help, rescue or balance another person or the planet. We’re beyond that now and your Soul doesn’t sing from the voice of a savior, martyr, hero nor victim. You are more than that… and it’s exponential with expansive love, grace, unity and peace.
This wave is an interesting one and I hope it doesn’t end. It’s a bit uncomfortable, but there’s a real magic in having the veils lifted and then taking expanded action. Take a deep breath and then act on your ‘youness.’ I think I have my New Years resolution!
July 2009 – Opportunity Ripening
July09
I send you summer blessings in the hopes that all is exceedingly well for you. I had fully intended to send you a message at the end of June, but as this is the end of the year for me there is more than the usual action going on: with the kids having end of year activities, it was my birthday, yard construction, not to mention the restructuring of my business and a trip to celebrate my brother. My personal philosophy is that the moment I think I’ve taken on too much, that’s my cue to add more. (I wouldn’t recommend adopting that yourself since I think that might be something I’m meant to learn to transcend; I’m just not totally convinced yet.) Anyhow, on with the energetic news:
Opportunity Ripening
This June closed like a landslide. One client commented to me that she thought I was on holiday since I didn’t respond with my usual promptness. She was in non-emergency overwhelm and I had to explain that I had to get my own head above water first.
I’m not sure where to even begin. Let’s talk diversity since, against logic, it is one common thread. I’m talking about diversity in each separate presenting issue, and yet the underlying fabric is the same which is of choices, perspectives and decisions around a not quite ripe opportunity.
It feels:
* In 3D: like overwhelm (if you are actually present to feel it) with a distinctive stretching feel.
* In 4D: like a critical form of confusion with urgency around it
* In 5D: like all is as it is meant to be within your vision and the Higher vision
The trick is to line them all up. This is pretty profound since all of the tools you have all need to be pulled out (diversity), dusted off and evaluated. The best is to hear / feel / sense it all and be able to choose the most appropriate resource(s) to use: Friends, walking, meditation, rest, discipline… in each moment.
Where is it in our lives? I’ve witnessed this at every degree from micro to macro and from almost every archetype from gender to creator. This is not so unique in that each energetic trend needs a certain diversity to create opportunities for the appropriate people, but what I’m saying is that for those who, on a soul level, chose to maximize this – you dove deep.
I just received a call (thank you blessed synchonicity) when I was thinking about how to approach the timeline. I was reminded that 19 June was a pretty pivotal date and of course, the world is still rocking from the deaths of Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. From this you can see through real world events that there are waves. We don’t need to make judgements on meanings of these happenings, but I would suggest that you learn to work with yourself in managing what life brings in the *cycles that it brings them.
Always there will be ebb and flows. Always there will be unexpected change. Always you will need to make choices in guiding your life. AND Always you will need to work from your present* circumstances to make the first forward steps.
So… earlier I mentioned the diverse nature of the ‘not quite ripe opportunity.’ This is the part that thrills me so much that it makes my eyes water. Each one of you can take advantage of the current energy to set the wheels in motion to begin the creation process for your dreams. Yes, the moment is always ‘Now’, but this is special in my mind because there are always cycles for appropriate action. (For example, don’t attend women only events if you are looking for the perfect guy.) Now is the time for constructing your vision and if you have done so already, begin to take some supported action. The supported action part is key and ties this back into the need to use the tools you have at hand.
Goal – Action – Result is the pattern that has my attention right now and we are right in action. What’s your goal? Fitness? Work? Relationship? How are you taking action and is this action taking you towards your desired result? This is the magical alignment; ‘the trick’ from above about how you can empower yourself to hold your 5D vision.
The summer looks pretty smooth, all in all, just factor in all of your current responsibilities. It seems a bit raw if I had to put a word on it, so it might be emotional, but generally speaking nothing outside that which each person would be used to working. If I register anything differently, I’ll *make the time to drop you a note since I’m going to be immersed in my new project.
This project is an interview series of many different health perspectives with experts in different fields. The range is diverse covering the dimensions from 3-5D to maximize your potential benefit.
I would like to invite you to subscribe to my seminar series. It is free to listen in live and as streaming audio online afterwards for about 2 days each speaker. There will also be an opportunity to buy the series as a whole. My intent in creating this was to give people more information on available tools and resources that might be beyond that which you already know.??Warm Blessings and Best Wishes,?Nina
