The Age of Transparency

There is SO much happening energy wise right now I hardly know where to start.

Firstly, there is a LOT of healing happening within us and between us right now. Really, healing doesn't even feel like the right word. More so we are receiving 'perspective adjustments and corrections' allowing us to say "Ohhhhh" and "Aaaahhh", "Now I see! Now I understand! Now I get it!" And this feels like healing because suddenly the heart doesn't feel so tight. Our tension connected to something, or someone, softens. We are feeling love, compassion, forgiveness or even a neutral 'live and let live' for situations that may have pained us for years or eons. And this feels...liberating. It can also feel very emotional, so you may want to cry. So, cry.

We may not even consciously or mentally comprehend why we suddenly feel 'softer' or 'different'. We just do. Many of you may be having healing interactions in your dreams or real life reality with people from your past or present, allowing a final closure or new opening, allowing old dense energy to leave, allowing space for more of a lighter heart energy. Allowing space for more love. Allowing space for more of who you really are - more of who you always were.

You may not be aware of what is going on in your night time travels, but find yourself waking up feeling different, feeling warm or like something has happened, you just can't remember what. Your body remembers, your cells remember, your energy remembers. Your conscious self will remember whatever it needs to, when it needs to. You might even like to have that as a little affirrmation "I remember what I need to, when I need to."

Old covers that have been over our eyes and our hearts for years, or actually more like thousands of years, are being flung off faster than you can say 'Veil'. Today I referred to these times as the 'Age of Transparency'. A combination of energetic and technological evolution means that we can now see everything, and everyone, including ourselves, more clearly (the good, the bad and the ugly). Energy waves revealing more of our light and our shadow daily, hackers and whistleblowers revealing secrets, truthseekers seeking and revealing truth.

Speaking of revelations, the word Apocalypse is often associated with this time of Revelations. This word is from the Greek and Latin words meaning 'lifting of the veils', 'that which was hidden to be revealed'. So for those out there waiting for the Apocalypse, we're in it right now - thank God, thank Gaia! And (so far) it isn't this one big event, it is a series of waves. Huge, huge waves. Only unlike that ridiculous 2012 movie, they aren't water waves, they are energy waves.

Sometimes they are really soft and gentle, feeling like warm, soothing balm washing over our weary hearts and souls. Other times they are like a mack track, wooshka, slamming into us, awakening any remaining parts of us that had been hitting the snooze button one too many times. Some waves trigger memory, other waves are pressing "GO" on your creativity, passion and purpose.

Somewhat like labour, some waves are more intense than others. Sometimes they come all on top of each other, and we find ourselves receiving a quantum leap to some new awareness, direction or destination. At other times we are given a bit of a break, a rest, a reprieve, a time to integrate and embody our most recent shift within the multiple shifts we are all going through.

Embody is a key word here:

What are you feeling called to do more of, and less of?

What are you being called toward, and away from?

What and who do you want to have around you (and what/who do you not)?

What foods is your body asking you to eat? What are you being asked to let go of.

These waves aren't just here so that we can ask 'when are the waves over already?' They are the waves we have read about, talked about, wished for and asked for, for a looooong time! They are here to help us, so let them help you. Use them to ride forward into the highest possible version of yourself, the version that is here to play a part in creating the best highest possible version of reality for humanity and our planet.

How are you feeling? Do you feel a shift in your heart related to yourself and others? Have you had any profound healing moments or re-connections (dream or real life) lately?

Finding peace in the wobbliness

Video Version with Commentary

For the last few years we were feeling the affects of regular solar flares. Energetically, it felt like the flares acted as 'couriers' of energy, sending bursts of high-vibrational energy onto the Earth, activating and clearing us as we shifted into new levels of our selves. 

These days, it feels like the waves are horizontal more than vertical. That is, rather than coming down from up or out there, it feels like they are all around us. Sometimes you can even feel them like a literal energy wave, which can make you feel dizzy or as if the ground is moving beneath your feet. Have any of you felt that? 

If we were to put on our Energy Seeing Glasses, the whole Earth is now pulsating and it kind of looks like jelly, as these waves cover every part of it, shifting, clearing and activating everything. All beings. All aspects of society. Yep, there is a lot of yuckiness we can see, but nothing that hasn't been there, hidden under carpets for a long time. Better out than under, so we can sweep it away. 

One minute you might feel like being part of the broom-sweeping brigade, while the next you feel better focusing on creating the new. Other days it's all you can do to just stay in your centre without losing your balance, and wanting to jump overboard this swaying ship. It feels wobbly because everything is in a state of intense flux. Everything is fluid, whereas we have come from a paradigm where everything was so, so dense. 

We look at the situations around the world and we despair that it will be like this for a long time, but we are judging situations by how long they have taken to unfold and shift in the past. Nothing is the same now as it used to be. In your own life you can see that you now move through issues in hours or days that used to take months or years. So too, even the hottest political situations are changing faster than the news can keep up. 

It is important to have an anchor and usually I'd say that anchor is the centre within you, but for many of us it feels like that centre is constantly moving and changing. Who am I today? Who will I be tomorrow? It's anyone's guess, is how it feels! 

So if you can, maintain your centre as your anchor - whether that for you is your Soul, your Heart, God, Goddess, or some other name - yet know that from one day to the next your perception, your awareness and your experience of what your centre/soul/heart/god/goddess IS, will change. We are in a state of rapid expansion, and this can trigger a daily identity crisis, unless we start with the premise: our sense of identity WILL change multiple times as we expand. That is a given. Sometimes multiple times in a month or week lately! 

Change has to be our new best friend, if we are to find peace in our wobbliness. How are you feeling?

October 1: The CME Release Continues

Yesterday's Solar Eruption (CME) has released an incredible amount of energy on every level. Emotions, passions, desires, and needs are all on High as are stubborness and the ego's old need to control. 

Hearts are racing and adrenalin is pumping - literally. Studies have shown that solar activity affects our physical body and chemistry. I found it so hard to get any sleep, it felt like an electric stream was running all night. 

This energy usually runs through us triggering anything that needs to be let go of, and awakening anything that is ready to be expressed, so we often find ourselves having a release or epiphany of some kind around heightened solar activity. Sometimes the energy is released in a challenging way (an outburst with someone, or a physical health issue that blows up) or it wants to be released in a more easeful way - you may be feeling a natural urge to do some physical exercise, do something creative, or are inspired to some other healthy outlet of self expression. 

On a collective level, things are coming to a head in the US with a possible government shutdown, and our thoughts are with everyone who will be affected by that if it happens. Here at home hot winds were howling all day, aeroplanes were wobbling on descent, roofs have blown off houses and locally there was a horrific vehicle accident involving a petrol tanker on a road we use everyday. Our prayers are with all those involved in that in any way. 

Intensity can be overwhelming, but it also brings everything into very clear, sharp focus: What is important to you? Where do you stand on issues? Difficult events and heightened emotions put everything in perspective and we become hyperaware where our priorities lie.

How are you all today?

June 2013 Monthly Visions: Waving not Drowning - Just Keep Swimming

June 2013 Monthly Visions: Waving not Drowning – Just Keep Swimming

The Video Version with Commentary is here 

If we could look out into the cosmos right now through eyes that perceive higher frequency energy, we would see huge tsunami-like waves rolling toward Earth, immersing our planet and all on her. We don’t need super-human eyes to tell us this is happening – we can feel it. We can see the effects the waves are having on our lives, and on those around us including the greater global community in every sector of life. These waves are uplifting us, clearing us and transforming us on every possible conceivable level – and on levels we can’t yet conceive.

            Most days it feels like we’re in a never-ending automated car-wash. Have you ever been in one of those things? The water comes down rinsing the car, then the car shampoo squirts out, followed by the big wash brushes. Then the rinse cycle again, then the polish brushes, then the dryer. Between every one of those phases there’s a little pause, a moment to breathe, and then you get a little start with every new woosh boom shhh sound. Hands up if you feel like you’re in one of those at the moment? Only every time we get the green light and head out thinking we’re ‘done’, we suddenly find ourselves back for another round! 

If a friend was to ask you ‘How are you feeling?’ you probably honestly have no idea how to answer that. The waves are awakening multiple aspects of us, including old, buried aspects and new soul potential aspects, along with multiple awakening abilities like telepathy and energetic sensitivity. So the answer to your friend might be:  “I’m feeling clear yet dishevelled, I have moments of joy and despair, I’m excited about what’s coming yet sometimes feel disillusioned, I’m at peace with so much yet confronting old issues I thought I’d cleared. When I’m happy I’m happier than I’ve ever been and when I’m sad I feel like I’m feeling the woes of the entire world. The energies are moving so much so quickly through me that I already can’t even relate to what I just said. I’m not who I was a week ago, and I have no idea what version of me I’ll have evolved into by tomorrow.”

What’s going on? We are here. We’re in The Shift. The Waves are finally upon us. We have felt waves before now, before this year. This is different. Before we were standing on the edge of the shore, feeling one come in every so often. Last year they were very close together.  We were perhaps knee or waist deep into the sea. This year we’ve moved out into the open ocean. We’re IN the waves, hence the feeling of the never-ending car-wash. Whereas in the years leading up to this we’d have a reprieve between waves, now there is barely a moment to breathe before another comes rolling along – at least as far as the incoming energies are concerned. Reprieve can be found however by going within to your centre. That is the place where we can find clarity, peace, stillness and stability anytime.  Just closing your eyes for 5 minutes, whether sitting inside or lying outside on the grass, and focusing on your breath, soaking in the sun, feeling the breeze on you, is SO rejuvenating and re-balancing bringing you back to sanity. Sometimes it’s hard to even find 5 minutes I know, but as I was reminded this morning, having neglected this part of myself lately, it transforms you back to your Self instantly.

That’s another thing about these waves – they are refusing to allow us to neglect ourselves. If you are not nurturing yourself, nourishing yourself, treating yourself with kindness, or in any way doing something (or not doing something) that is causing you to be out of balance, you’ll know about it. This is a good thing – previously our detours away from centre didn’t have as immediate a side-effect. Now the consequences are fairly immediate, although sometimes it can take a few weeks of not working out as regularly as usual (hello me), to realise ohhhhhhh that’s why I’ve been feeling so not myself!

The constant waves don’t mean that we’re in for a challenging time 24/7. Our experience of the waves will change from moment to moment, day to day. Our experience will depend on what they are triggering, and how we are perceiving whatever they are triggering. They are allowing cool synchronicities and expanded states of joy, love, creativity, empathy, compassion and a greater sense of connection with ourselves. They are re-igniting dreams and passions. They are awakening dimensional doorways and multi-sensory abilities. So, sometimes we’re going to feel super alive, ultra-clear, buzzing on a high about life.

They are triggering any parts of our soul that still need healing, closure or transformation. They are bringing to the surface ancestral energy and cellular memory. They are heightening our awareness, revealing so much that was previously hidden or unknown to us (on a personal and collective/global level). So, other times we’re going to feel overwhelmed or suffocated by the amount of ‘debris’ swirling around us. All of this is happening very quickly. You might alternate between the above states several times in a day – or even an hour! We’re moving through more ‘stuff’ and experiencing  more ‘shifts’ in a week (sometimes in 24 hours!) than we used to do in a year – or years.

For those who have been on a conscious journey for a long time, you may be questioning what the heck is going on that SO much old stuff is coming up when you have already cleared and healed, well, almost everything! To recognise the benefit of your work thus far, they are giving the analogy of a room that is fairly clean and tidy, vs a room that resembles a cluttered storage area that hasn’t been attended to in years.  Most of you have gone through several major cleaning sprees of formerly cluttered rooms, and energetically reside in relatively clean and tidy rooms – but as you know from your own home, a room doesn’t just stay clean and tidy. Everyday living means that you regularly wipe down the bench, clear the table of junk that accumulates, vacuum the floor and so on. The big clean up you originally did doesn’t mean the room stays pristine by itself, but it sure makes it easier to deal with on a day to day basis. The incoming waves seem to be heightening anything and everything that is lying on the floor, unattended to. Any speck of dust in our corners, pebbles in our shoes and rubbish under our carpets is being highlighted. With a spotlight. And a loudspeaker. 

On a logical level one might think this is due to energetic space – as in we have to clear the old to make way for the new. However it is more a case of vibration and frequency – the old can’t exist in the new frequency, so it is being raised to the surface for clearing or transformation. So if you had termites in your shiny, wooden floors, this energy is going to find the termites. It’s also going to find the gold that you had no idea was under the floor boards so it’s all good. 

For those who are yet to clean their storage rooms, never before have we as a humanity had so much energetic – and physical – support to do so. Help is available and more easily accessible whether you are seeking it from within, from upstairs, or from friends/family/therapists/support groups/online forums etc. If you are feeling overwhelmed by what is a very intense time, please reach out and talk to someone you feel safe with. Connect with groups that understand what you are going through. You are not alone and you do not have to go through this alone.

Predictions of these times always involved huge waves washing over the planet. Many prophets (or interpreters of prophecies) always assumed this would be one of water. The huge waves are indeed here washing over us only they are waves of high frequency energy coming to us thanks to the part of the Cosmos we are currently travelling through. 

We are receiving energy that our planet only has access to once in a Great Cycle of almost 26, 000 years.  Our Sun is playing it’s part in releasing this energy to us via it’s Solar Flares, CME’s, Solar Waves and other activity, triggering physical and emotional shifts, awakening on a Soul, Cellular and DNA level and a quantum leap in our evolution. Solar Maximum cycles happen regularly – every 11 years – so why are these flares impacting us so strongly? The way it has consistently been shown to me is, due to our current rare position, we are receiving the effects of a very high frequency energy emanating out of the Galactic Centre which goes out to our Sun as well as our Earth – and indeed most often seems to come to us via the Sun. This high frequency energy affects us on a biological and cellular level, it affects our nervous system, our Earth, her weather systems and activity (earthquakes, volcanoes, tornado’s etc), it affects navigational equipment and satellite function. There are man-made influences contributing to all of this also, creating somewhat of a pressure cooker type of feeling.

I’m not a scientist, this is intuitive and downloaded information that has remained consistent in its message for decades, a message that continues to be supported by the growing evidence that is people’s personal and shared collective experiences. Having said that, this Month I’m being nudged to provide links to scientific studies and evidence that prove this is all happening. The fact that science backs up what many mystics have felt and feel is so exciting. Even when you ‘know’ something, it is always so amazing to see information validated by physical reality.  Here are a few links you may find interesting that can then lead you on to do your own research if you wish:

Article: The Sun Touches our Psyche

Paul LaViolette – Scientist and Author of Galactic Superwaves and their Impact on the Earth

Heather Carlini – Researcher on How Solar Flares are Affecting Us and Author of How Solar Flares are Helping us to Evolve

This time was always destined to happen, and many of us came here specifically to be here for the changes that are going to occur as a result. This new energy is causing the release or transformation of everything that is not compatible with its frequency. Our old issues and old power structures can no longer exist in this new frequency in much the same way that digital and analog frequency cannot co-exist on your phone or television.

On a global level this month we're seeing this with the protests in Turkey, the March against Monsanto movement and Edward Snowden's whistleblowing on Project Prism. On a personal level many of us are are experiencing releases in the form of cold's and flu's (and have been all year). This is regardless of whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. We are going through a major inner and outer clearing process, and this applies even if you have spent years clearing your 'stuff'.  It's a major demolition process: there's a lot of debris flying around now and it can feel suffocating and uncomfortable physically and emotionally. 

The old form of Power (over others) thrives on secrecy. In revealing certain truths Edward Snowden is not only opening millions of eyes, he is dissolving so much of the old dense power structure that depended on people being kept in the dark. Our authentic power lies in each and every one of our light bulbs now being switched ON, on EVERY level of awareness. Thank you to people like Edward who are helping this happen.

We’ve all had experiences where we’ve discovered aspects of ourselves that we’ve previously been unaware of. The realisation and acknowledgement of these aspects can provide powerful insight into the origin and subconscious influence of our patterns, behaviours and issues. This is one reason why I am so passionate about being conscious of our energy reality and hidden (from us) reality. It is creating our physical reality – with or without our conscious contribution. When we become aware of a formerly unrecognised inner aspect, (or outer influence) a common question many people ask is: “What do I do now to heal, transform or release this?”  While this question is important, it is just as important to know that simply becoming aware of something you weren’t aware of before, bringing it into the light, starts shifting your energy and natural actions tremendously.

The hidden aspects of us are like puppetmasters pulling the strings. They are like the great and powerful Oz, who gives the message his power is beyond questioning, but behind the curtain is an ordinary man with big issues.  Once we come face to face with the puppetmaster, once the curtain is pulled back, it is impossible for that aspect to influence us in the same way anymore. The energy that was holding up our illusions loses its power over us – be it our illusions of lack, that we are less than, not good enough, not deserving enough, that certain things aren’t possible and so on.  

With our new awareness we stop attracting certain situations, or if we do attract them we can more easily recognise them for what they are; old stories that we don’t have to buy into or believe anymore.  We can see our truths, and the untruths we’ve told ourselves, more clearly and aren’t so easily triggered and swayed by the latter. It is so powerful to confront a thought based on an old belief and simply say: I don’t believe you anymore.  The more conscious we become, the more we can create a reality that is in harmony with who we really are. We get to experience a life we feel good about. We become free.

This growing awareness of hidden aspects is occurring on a grandscale this year – not only on a personal level but on a collective level. For anyone in doubt, we are well and truly IN the Shift that was long prophesised for these times. There was no big, loud and clear ‘event’ at the end of 2012 but something sure happened because from then onward the collective awakening process has shifted gears in noticeable ways – in the form of near-constant, multi-nation mass protests against the existing order, ongoing revelations about corrupt systems, and increased awareness of so much that affects us from GMO foods to fracking, chemtrails, citizen spying and unethical laws with more to come.

It is natural to get frustrated that even though things are accelerating, things sometimes don’t feel they are moving fast enough. It is also natural to wonder…how? How exactly will things change in real, tangible ways. Here is one example: more people are becoming aware of things like genetically-modified and chemically-tampered with foods. I was in a store today and asked for some nitrite-free bacon. The server told me they didn’t have any but people had been asking for it all month so the owner was busy trying to find a supplier. That is one big way things will change. As awareness grows, people change their shopping habits. Store owners have to order less of one type of product and more of another. Producers of healthier foods will increase, while manufacturers of less healthy foods will see business drop.

These times are about people power and grassroots movements. Everyone is waiting for the government to do something, but the change will come from people changing. As more people change what they will and won’t accept, what they will and won’t support, what they will and won’t purchase, the energy from so many old structures will drop. There won’t be enough energy left to support or sustain them. I always used to talk about this in the energetic sense, but now I can see it happening in the physical, material sense.

This month we’re also going through some very interesting Soul Retrieval processes, where old aspects are tapping us on the shoulder...they want to come into our new reality too albeit in a transformed way.  The past is knocking on a lot of people's doors at the moment in the form of memories, dreams, old emotions you haven't felt in a long time, aspects you thought you had long buried, and people you have long not had contact with. Whenever the past (or anything really!) knocks like this, there is a reason although the reason is never usually what it seems to be on the surface.

The emotions being triggered can leave us feeling like someone has dragged us backward into some murky time that we really would rather not visit again, yet it is very beneficial to just bite the bullet and confront this energy, as otherwise it can make us feel like we're going to implode mentally and/or emotionally, and even affect our state of health physically.

Have a seat with any inner aspect that’s been concerning you, and imagine it as a personality (be it an intense emotion you've been feeling, or a health symptom or an energy influence) and try one of the following: Journal with it, asking it some questions or meditate and do the same, trust the dialogue that comes from this; get out your crayons or paints and draw whatever comes to you; or have a conversation with a conscious friend to help give you clarity if you need extra support.

Much of our current process is connected to the Divine Feminine awakening. We’re undergoing a correction regarding the ways in which we have perceived the feminine – including ourselves as women, the feminine aspects of ourselves regardless of gender (our feelings, intuition, creativity, inner child issues, our ability to nurture and nourish others and receive that for ourselves, along with receiving in general) and how both women and feminine energy is treated in society along with all so-called ‘minority groups’.

This week alone in Australia we’ve had story after story concerning completely unacceptable and disrespectful behaviour toward women. A couple of those stories were regarding our Prime Minister and one covered despicable allegations involving Army members. While the behaviour and attitudes of those who act like this, and think it’s okay, are not new, the response from the public, media and authorities is very new both in terms of exposure and a new level of consciousness calling for an end to these ways. It was unprecedented to see the Australian Chief of Army, Lieutenant General David Morrison, address the Army with a powerful YouTube video that went viral. It is worth watching, and really addresses all bullies and those who seek to demean others.  One of many quotable quotes in his short 3 minute address is: “The standard you walk past, is the standard you accept.”

Many of us during our healing journey left behind old parts of ourselves we perceived as flawed. Only those wounded parts of us were not flawed – they were beautiful, wise, intelligent, loving aspects that were abused by others or misunderstood or devalued or disrespected. If we have felt shame about any former part of us, and still do on some level, and if lately you have been feeling a resurgence of old feelings in some way connected to old aspects of yourself, then it is well worth the time getting out your journal and helping this aspect transform so she/he can shift forward with you into the new cycle. As we move into our new cycle which is calling us to wholeness, we are also being called to retrieve all those parts of ourselves that we have abandoned or left behind. In their abandoned state they are manifesting as anger, frustration, depression, numbness, sadness, regret and resentment, like something about to explode or implode within you. Connect with these emotions to figure out what old part of you they are wanting to bring your attention to. More than likely you’ll find that Abandoned Anna has been waiting a long time to finally be acknowledged as Awesome Anna.

This isn't about doing more digging. This is about consciously working with the energy waves that we are swimming in these days, and consciously SEEING what they are wanting to show us (which is more of our selves). The waves are taking us to new heights, and in the process we are having to plumb new depths, and more and more aspects of ourselves are being transformed.

This is happening with or without our conscious input. Our conscious input simply helps us move through the waves with greater understanding and thus ease, and helps the waves move through us with fewer restrictions. The irony is that consciousness goes hand in hand with increased sensitivity, so of course you will also FEEL things more acutely which is not easy - but understanding does make it more easeful.

Until next time, let our motto be: Waving not Drowning, and as Dory in Finding Nemo says: “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.”

April 2013 Monthly Visions: Living in the Waves of a new Ocean

April 2013 Monthly Visions: Living in the Waves of a new Ocean

The video version can be viewed here

We are now in an entirely different energetic space from the world that existed up until the end of our most recent evolutionary cycle. Up until the end of last year it was like we were on a constant roller-coaster ride, riding the waves of energy that were showering down onto our planet. The waves increased in quantity and intensity as we reached the climax point of transition into our new cycle.  After that point, even though of course energy waves will always be raining down onto us, the feeling is more that the initial ‘energy tsunami’ part of these waves that was responsible for getting the planet across the line so to speak has passed and we are now living in the waters created by that tsunami.

It’s like trying to get a small kayak or canoe across the initial white waters where the surf is breaking. It can be very difficult, and there is a sense of relief once you get out into the open ocean. Of course the open ocean has its own set of challenges and occasional huge waves, but the kayak is built for that. So too we came here to live in this new cycle so we are prepared for it and look forward to it even if it feels a bit like we’re in the great unknown.  As uncertain as we may be feeling now, making it past the white waters stage was really the stressful part as far as our bodies are concerned. Many of us have spent the last few months experiencing health issues we haven’t had in years or ever (colds, flus, allergies, heaviness in the chest, fatigue). There are several reasons for this, one being that our energy bodies were living in a constant state of adrenalin, anticipation and preparation for so long as we neared this climax point, knowing how important it was for us all to get through it. It is like when performers who do two shows a day, 7 days a week for months on end never get sick, until the day they start their two week vacation then bang, the body collapses from exhaustion and they spend their holiday in bed with the flu. The other reasons will be addressed a bit further on.

If you are feeling a growing sense that the ‘tsunami of change’ is yet to come, this is because the physical plane has a time lag response to energetic happenings. The greater the gap between the physical density of something and the new higher vibration, the longer it tends to take for it to shift, collapse or transform however it is no longer a case of ‘if’ it will physically shift, but when. This applies to everything on this planet right now and there is no one ‘when’.  It is now our everyday reality experience that everything is in this state of shift, with each thing transforming in its own way in its own time, within the overall accelerated period of transition time we are in now. Even the mainstream daily news is now providing plenty of evidence of this.

The incoming waves triggered from within us many of the last remnants of whatever needed to be released before we entered a new level of ourselves in our new evolutionary cycle.  In this new cycle, the energy of these waves is of course still alive and vibrating, only now instead of predominantly feeling them as incoming from above, we are experiencing them as part of our environment. They are existing in an ocean/river like form right here on Earth, in Earth, within us and all around us.

We are benefiting from the high vibrational energy contained in these waters which is continuing to ‘spark’ us awake, activating that which has been dormant, continuing to release that which is not a match for our onward journey. We are learning how to live within these new waters, and how best to use them and work with them in order to create a completely new world. We are also experiencing and witnessing the physical domino effect of those incoming waves, the inevitable physical domino effect brought on by the fact we are all now living in a new energetic ocean. For many reading this, you have already experienced much of your internal (and external) initial shifting process, so you will often find yourself watching others as they go through their process, watching as the world itself goes through its process on a community, social, political and global level and supporting these processes if you feel called to do so.

We are now living in a world, on a planet, with a humanity, where each and every living being, system and structure has been touched by these waves activating us to step up into our next evolutionary phase. Every living being, system and structure will have its own way of shifting and transforming into its next phase, and each will take its own required amount of time, but all are on this new timeline. Whether something or someone is compatible with this new timeline, well, that is a different question. Certainly much is incompatible, and so that will be released or transformed over the coming years. So when you see something that cannot possibly be compatible with a new, more evolved society, and think ‘We cannot possibly have all shifted because that person, that attitude, that system, that injustice is not congruent with a high vibrational world’ know that what you are noticing is a direct example of something that is due for change and clearing in some way. 

            Death and re-birth (literally and figuratively speaking), collapse, transformation, renewal, awakening and emerging processes will be occurring to the Many (the masses and the mainstream) as a result of us now living within the energy of a new vibration. These processes include the dismantling of our personal identities where those identities are no longer congruent with our new intentions and directions. They include the greater embodiment of our authentic selves in whatever ways feel good and right to us. Some of us will seek to be productive in the creation of new systems and ways of living, others will desire to be of service to the millions that are newly awakening, others will gravitate to live lives as organic, holistic, passion-filled, joy-filled and/or creativity-filled as possible. When we each live in true, genuine harmony with our authentic selves, (as opposed to coming from our ego/issues/rigid beliefs etc) we can create a world where we all live in harmony with each other and with our environment. Sounds idealistic yes, but we came here for nothing less. Always remember that when you feel like throwing in the towel. This doesn’t mean we all become the same or want the same things. Harmony comes from respecting and even celebrating each other’s differences and ways of doing things.

The waves we experienced last year increased in size and momentum until they reached their point of climax, after which point it was like we emerged out into a big, wide seemingly endless ocean. The feeling of being churned around in a wash-spin-rinse cycle over and over again, has been replaced by the somewhat odd feeling of bobbing around in a vast expanse of water not quite sure where you are or what you’re supposed to be doing. There are other people around you who feel the same way, and every few minutes more and more people emerge from the big tunnel that is throwing everyone out into this great big ocean, so that is at least reassuring amidst any sense of confusion and isolation you may otherwise be feeling.

Now imagine that the reality that is ‘time’ is much like a ruler. It all exists Now, only our point of awareness determines where on this ruler we are located. So, even though we’ve all moved onto the ‘Shift’ timeline on the level of our collective consciousness, different waves of people are experiencing different aspects of the Shift in their current now.  Some of us are bobbing around in the great Ocean while others are still going through the wash-spin-rinse tunnel. More of the mainstream are now experiencing what ‘first wave’ and ‘second wavers’ experienced a while ago  – the dismantling of anything not in alignment with one’s authentic self and the revelation of everything not in alignment with our highest truth and potential both personally and as a world. Many are experiencing this as a very new thing, while others who have been on the path for a long time are experiencing new and deeper levels of it.

Imagine waking up from what feels like a past life to find yourself starting a new life. Only you're not a newborn, you're an adult although the concept of being a specific age seems odd and irrelevant. You may have anything from a vague to super clear idea about what you feel like doing with this new life. This simultaneously feels exciting, overwhelming and even disorienting (really it's re-orienting). This is what millions of us are experiencing right now as we find ourselves awakening to new layers of conscious awareness and living in a very new vibrational field.

            Our lives need now to be less about continually dealing with ever-shifting energies, and more about discovering how best to work with, use and live in this new energy surrounding us. This will take focus and a good connection to your own Self. A large percentage of our humanity and collective physical reality are still in the ‘wash-spin-rinse’ tunnel so there will be a lot of flux and change going on around us. You will know by the way you feel within your own Self as to what is negative and distracting to you, or what is calling you to become more involved.

            Back to addressing the physical health issues many are experiencing, even though we are now in a very new vibrational space, the shift has triggered the release of all the old density in others. As sensitives we are picking up on all of that, so it is more important than ever that we protect our energy, be strong with our boundaries energetically, mentally, emotionally and physically, and be conscious of what we are allowing ourselves to ‘pick up’. Clearing, centering and protecting our energy regularly feels to be important at this time. You can do this with things like smudging, and/or you can affirm: “All that is not mine please go back to your rightful owner, and I ask that all that is mine please be returned to me now.” Another protective/centering affirmation I use is: “I am filled with love, surrounded by love, protected by love and guided by love.”

            A daily practice of connecting with your self also feels very important at this time. For you that may be meditation, spending time in nature, going for a walk, journaling, or having a daily affirmation. I daily affirm “I am connected to my higher self, the highest source of truth, love and light and the core and heart of Mother Earth.”  I also affirm “ I am aligned with my best possible self, best possible reality and best possible movement forward on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, cellular, DNA, ancestral and etheric including all the chakras.” If this resonate with you, please use it or create an affirmation of your own that makes you feel connected. This is something quick and easy that you can do and it helps to make a habit of it, for example saying it whenever you’re in the shower, or doing your stretches after a walk.

We are also experiencing in a more intense way anything within us that is not in alignment with our authentic self and higher vibration. So something that may have just caused a minor irritation physically even in the last year or so is now manifesting in a very clear physical way so that we can clear anything we still need to clear.

In this new vibration people will not need 'teachers' or 'healers' in the same way we may have before, because we have shifted into the arena of consciousness that expands our awareness into a state of knowing and remembering all that we know. However, many people will still prefer and choose to engage with those who can assist them to see, hear, feel and remember their own truth and wisdom - not from a space of "I will teach you" or "I will heal you" but a space of "I can remind you and show you what is already within you." In the past people would flock to those who held a torch, seeking answers, believing that only that person had the knowledge they needed. Now, those who hold a torch must do so with integrity, using it to shine a light onto others, helping them find their own torches.

            Now that we're in the new cycle, it is like the dam walls have burst allowing us to ride the wave into parts of the river we haven't accessed before. In any given day, and in any given moment, it is our choice as to which part of the river we are swimming in. We can spend time in the old part or the new part and neither is actually better or worse. In the higher realms, high vibrational souls go 'down' to 'lower' levels to help souls go 'up' the levels all the time. Sometimes the souls don't want to go 'up' because they are comfortable where they are, or they are needed where they are or they are not yet ready to go 'up'. Try not to judge where you are or where anyone else is, because wherever you are you have landed there because on some level some part of your vibrational reality was attracted to that level. If you don't like it, take a minute to get conscious and ask yourself ok, why am I here in this part of the river, in this situation, in this pattern? Your soul might have an answer for you completely different to the one you were expecting. You can ask your Soul these kinds of things in meditation or via journalling. Journalling is a great way to check your emails from your own Soul/Self.

            Our emergence into our new world may seem like an anti-climax to many who were expecting a much greater dramatic display to signify our official entry. Certainly in one sense Nature would lead us to believe that birth is an obvious event, and many have been left wondering: where is our obvious global event? Yet in another sense, Nature also shows us that change can be subtle and this makes it no less powerful a shift. The transition from Winter to Spring is not an overnight, big bang event. Very slowly the snow melts, the new green leaves appear on empty twigs, and new life is born. We thought our Shift would be more like the emotional momentous event that is Birth, but maybe it is more like the magical transition from one season to another, or from night to dawn and day.  The difference between Winter and Spring, or Night and Day is vast, utterly and totally two different realities. So too will this new cycle be different to the last, only it’s hard to tell when you are at the ‘few green leaves’ stage or the ‘dawn just breaking’ stage – especially when you expected a full blown set of Spring to descend onto the world stage complete with musical soundtrack! 

This isn’t meant to convince everyone into thinking the Shift has happened/is happening when really it hasn’t. Look around you for yourself, with your own eyes. Yep, a lot is broken. Yep, a lot is wrong with the world. Yet, look at how many people are awakening, notice the stories that are starting to pop up on mainstream media, the revelations that are happening, the secrets that can no longer remain so, the emotional, mass reactions to events and laws that we no longer want to tolerate as a society. While all around us you can certainly still see a lot of snow, and a lot of dark, night sky, there is also beyond a doubt a growing wave of signs that we are in fact at the beginning of a new season, and a new day. There are forums galore that will tell you this new day is all about the coming of an Illuminati created New World Order and WWIII and global slavery. Guess what? That is the reality we’re emerging from now. As a human race, we’ve just collectively been through the dark night of the soul. Winter isn’t followed by Winter Part 2. Night isn’t followed by more night. Humanity is now scheduled for lives of freedom, empowerment, truth, justice and harmony.

            In nature, the greatest of forces usher in the greatest of changes, however it is not the force itself that creates the change. The force merely provides the catalyst for change. From there it is our choice, and our responsibility, as to what we do with the new conditions we find ourselves in.

            The intense contractions of labour lead to the birth of a baby. As momentous and life-changing as the moment of birth is, it is what lies beyond the birth that truly transforms us. The birth opens a doorway to a new life, not just for the newborn, but for all those connected to him or her, and it is living within this new life each and every day that creates our new reality.

            The winds of a hurricane or the waves of a tsunami can cause destruction in minutes, but the end of the event is not the end at all but the beginning. It’s the beginning of the clean-up and assessment process. It’s the beginning of the grieving and healing process. It’s the beginning of the re-building and renewal process. Slowly a new world is created on top of the ashes and rubble of the old one. And so it will be with our world.
