A New Spiral Cycle

There is a spiral dance that goes with evolution. We go around and around, expanding, releasing, expanding, releasing. All expansion and growth involves some release and letting go. All release and letting go involves some expansion. 

Each Spiral Cycle has a predominant theme: we have just shifted out of a thousands year cycle that focused mainly on evolving by experiencing 'that which we are not', and we are moving into a Spiral Cycle that will focus on evolving by remembering and being that which we are. 

In the past when we've had 'things coming up that we've previously been unaware of' it's tended to revolve around discovering and releasing old beliefs, patterns and self-sabotaging aspects that no longer serve. We 'learned' through lack, struggle and limitation. Now, with increasing regularity, the 'things coming up' for us are revolving around moving into new energetic and emotional spaces. We are experiencing revelations about our true power, clear insights about how we are ideally 'meant' to function, realizations about what we truly deserve and are capable of, inspiration as to new actions we can take to put our new realizations into practice, and feelings of liberation as we expand into more and more of our truth - and continue to shed more and more of that which is not our truth. 

We will increasingly 'remember' through miracles, synchronicity, intuitive knowing and opening to allow all that which is now available to us. The old ways cannot work in the new Spiral cycle, just as it was challenging to work with these new ways in the old Spiral cycle. Each Spiral Cycle is like a rushing river. It carries you forward when you go with it, and it can be very difficult when you push against it. 

A good affirmation for now is something like: I now align myself with this new Spiral Cycle. Thank you for carrying me forward in the best possible way, in alignment with my highest truth. (Always feel free to re-word affirmations to make them feel more 'you').

May Monthly Visions Part 2: The Disconnection prior to the New Connection

May Monthly Visions Part 2: The Disconnection prior to the New Connection

Video Version is here

I’ve never before felt the energetic phase we are in right now. We could really say that every month these days, but this is different. Where before it felt like we were turning pages, moving at ever increasing rates from chapter to chapter, we’re now in the phase where it feels like we’ve jumped into a new book.  I have written about aspects of this, talked about things we may expect, but it’s another thing entirely to be here experiencing it.

As is always the case, the living experience of something is very different to the knowing of it. We can have visions or inner messages or read about something to come, and think that’s a way of being prepared – and to a degree it is. Yet there is that ‘unknown’ factor – how the living of it will make us feel. We can’t know that until we’re going through it.

The best way to describe this new phase actually came through in a Soul Session last week and with my client’s permission I’m going to share some of it here.  The question she asked is one I know a lot of you can relate to right now: “I feel like I have arrived - somewhere! Now what? Feel freed and lost all at once.”

The following came through and as I wrote it they were saying that really this is what everyone is in the process of going through at this time. The information totally aligned with something I had written years earlier in my book about our new cycle reality, so it is very exciting to see that people are actually experiencing it now:

“They are showing me this vision of you on the planet, as if the Whole of you has just landed. Of course your physical body has been here the whole time (since you were born), but various energetic and emotional aspects have been downloading gradually. They’re saying it was done in a way so that you wouldn’t ‘short-circuit’, so that you wouldn’t go into overwhelm, but at the same time it was done at a pace that kept you moving forward even if that sometimes meant being outside of your conscious comfort zone.”
            This aligns with the information that always came through about the Shift – that we are actually in a process of ‘descension’ as much as ‘ascension’. The planet is shifting into a higher vibration and we are shifting up with her, but at the same time this higher vibration is allowing more of our higher consciousness to download into our physical body. We are not going to float up anywhere with our bodies, we are becoming living embodiments of our highest truth and potential right here in our physical body on Earth.  In finally being able to receive more higher consciousness, which was not able to happen in the old density phase of our time here, we are able to ground the Light and manifest it into physical form. This will be evident in everything from greater health and longevity, to more conscious relationships, more conscious ways of living, more sustainable food production, more sustainable everything production, more natural, eco-friendly building practices, the utilisation of free energy, more conscious education, an overhaul of our political and financial systems, every aspect of life and society will transform for the better.

As with everything, positive transformation is most often preceded by collapse and chaos. It is a natural part of the process. This collapse and chaos does not have to mean destruction in a traumatic way. The most common trigger in these times will be the massive increase in awareness, the revelation of things previously kept hidden or secret, the ability for more people to see and know more truth.

The session continued: “That whole time (as everything was downloading into you) you were connected to a Source. They say this matter of factly, as if they are saying ‘the whole time your vaccum cleaner is on, it is connected to a source’.  The vacuum cleaner is of course connected to a socket in the wall, and the electricity makes it work. Well so too they are showing it like that, like a cord that has you connected to a Source, and that Source feeds you energy just like the electricity feeds the vaccum cleaner. Feeds in this context is not about nourishment, it is about ‘sending energy through so that the vehicle can work.’ The vehicle being your physical body and life here on Earth. 

They are saying that this Source is something you are a part of. When you go back ‘home’ you go back home to this Source. This Source in turn is connected to The Source. So it feels like the Source you are directly connected to is a high vibrational dimension, they are actually showing it to me as existing in the physical but to our eyes it is made of light because it is vibrating at a much higher resonance than we can see.”

To clarify, this Source was referring to what happens to be ‘home’ for this client. Some of you reading this may share this particular ‘home’, others are connected to a different ‘home’, but all are ultimately connected to the One great Source which is really home home for us All.

Now even though the below information relates to the home world of my client, I am going to share it here because a lot of you will resonate or at the least find it interesting, for some it may awaken information within you about your own galactic origins, and for all of us it describes the current change we are experiencing regarding our Connection to Source/our home worlds/the higher dimensions we’ve been receiving guidance and downloads from our whole lives whether conscious of that process or not.

            “I can’t quite make out if it is an extremely large ship or another planet, and they are saying it’s hard for them to explain it in our words. The best way I can describe it to you is, imagine a place that has as we have a main city, bustling people, offices, parks, etc, but those words don’t really match the vision I’m seeing.  The city is ultra futuristic, the people are ultra high vibrational, of light, and much taller than us, the colours are different, the energy is different. It is a very real place, existing right now.

            This place exists elsewhere, and when I ask where they show me a fast forward zoom into space. It’s outside our solar system, and even feels outside our galaxy in a whole other galaxy. It feels very, very, far away but at the speed of light (and I literally mean that) it’s just a quick zoom woosh and you’re there.”

            For those reading this, some of you will resonate 100% about being from another Star system or planet. Others know for sure they are not connected to any other planetary race and go direct to Source. Others feel home is the Spirit world. So when you read the info below, apply it to wherever you feel Home is for you. The main point is, all of us are going through the below transitional experience with our various ‘higher connections.’

            “So this is home for you, and these are your people. You have been connected to them always, and as you’ve journeyed through this Earth business they’ve stayed connected to you. They are showing me like a connection hose type thing going out of your crown and that’s how they send energy and information and also retrieve it from you, because you are also involved in reporting back whatever you are experiencing here and whatever is happening here. There are millions of others down here doing this or similar.

Now what’s happened lately is, the Whole of you that had to be download has been downloaded, and it’s like you are moving around getting used to being in a new suit. The connection hose I was seeing before is no longer, but they are saying you are still connected only now it will be different. You need to be fully 100% grounded here in order to do your job, (the mission that is really only just now properly starting for you, and for the others as they are saying).  But this 100% grounding also means that to a degree, as soon as that happened, you felt like you were in the dark.”

Okay, so the next part of the session is what really made my ears prick up because it so adequately explained why so many people are feeling disconnected, lost, ‘blank’, numb, unclear and unsure as to what their next step is supposed to be after years of feeling on a mission with a purpose.

            “They are saying that there is a term used by undercover agents – ‘we’ve gone dark’. That means they have gone in somewhere without their usual communication devices, no wire, no audio feed, nothing. They can’t hear the team in the van outside, the team in the van can’t see or hear the undercover agents. It is a scary and risky thing to do, but sometimes it is necessary. Of course, only the most experienced of the experienced undertake something like that.

            They are also giving the example how when a space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere there is a period of about 12 minutes when it goes ‘dark’ – there is a communications blackout between the spacecraft and Ground control. Then they break through the atmosphere and they are back online.

            They are saying that in the process of this shift, this transition from one cycle to another, from one vibration to another, each of us will have a few moments of ‘going dark’ ie feeling offline and disconnected from our peeps upstairs, as we breakthrough into the new vibration.”

The new frequency is very different to the old one – much like an upgrade on your television you will have access to more channels (greater connection with your ‘home’ peeps, more synchronicity), clearer audio and sharper vision (heightened intuition, telepathy and ability to see/hear other dimensions). “They are saying this will happen at different times for different people, and when they say it takes a few moments they mean their time! For us it can be days, weeks or months.”

            This is what many of you have been experiencing. “You have gone through the transitional tunnel, and have emerged out the other side. But this doesn’t mean immediate clarity. They are giving another image and saying you know how when vision and audio have been out, when it comes back it doesn’t always come back perfectly instantly. The vision cuts in and out, clear, static, clear, static. So too with the audio, clear, garble, clear, garble. Well you are in that phase.  You are adjusting your physical body to the new frequency but it takes a little time.

            It reminds me of the process people have to go through when they get a cochlear implant in their ear to hear properly. They have to go in each month for a year to keep tweaking it, it takes that long to fine tune it so they can hear normally as opposed to hearing beeps and high pitched sounds and garble.

            So this is to shed some light on why you feel liberated and lost at the same time. You are free of the old cycle and any old contracts, but you are in a very new domain with a new frequency which you are still adjusting to. 

Where in the old cycle much of your efforts were spent on downloading more and more energetic and emotional aspects (and experiencing life events to trigger those processes), the new cycle is about going forth with all of your aspects intact to fulfil your purpose. They are showing me an image of a warrior, but a light warrior. Not a warrior with weapons or anything like that. A warrior referring to a being of strength and courage, equipped with the skills, tools, emotions, knowledge, love and support/connections required to do what you have to do.”

Many of you ask about your purpose.  In the old cycle most had to get through personal purposes first – exploring themes related to power, self-worth, self-love and other important Soul aspects. Toward the ending of that cycle, it then became important to clear any old karma, wind up old patterns and contracts and release any remaining emotional debris gained from all our years of exploring.  I’ve previously used the analogy that in the old cycle we went about collecting and perfecting the ingredients to make our cake, then we had to clean up our kitchen, and now that our cakes are out of the oven it’s about all the cakes working together to create a really awesome bakery aka world.

In this new cycle, and this even applied to some in the old cycle, while some people have a very specific purpose, most have a general purpose whether that is to help awaken others, be of positive influence simply with your Light, have a healing or reassuring presence or share knowledge. How you choose to do this is up to you.

            “They are saying your role is not one thing, it is many things. First and foremost it is to be this Light Being that you are, embodying the Light Warrior energy, and standing in the light, for the light. This all sounds very ‘new agey’ but it is not meant in that way. It feels very grounded, very much about standing up for the truth, very much about staying true to what you know to be good and right and true. It feels like when everyone is down and upset, having a hard time understanding what’s going on or going through a major challenge, you are there to help them, to offer a different perspective, to offer a cup of tea, to offer a hug, to offer an ear helping them feel less crazy and less alone, whatever you do is enough. It all counts and it’s all part of your Light Warrior mission.

            They are speaking in quite a loud booming voice now and saying Do not underestimate the importance of this. They are saying we underestimate how much it helps the ALL when we help even one person through one emotion or difficult moment.

            They are saying you have gone through your rocky patch, but there are those who are only now going through that part of the waters. Your job is to help them in the best way you know how in any given moment. How do you know who to help?  Help the ones who are asking. It won’t be the obvious. You may have family members who you believe are primary candidates for ‘help’ but they are not ready. Meanwhile you may be the light a random stranger in a shopping centre needs one random day. But it will not be random. They are saying everything is so perfectly designed. You will go where you need to go, without even knowing that you are being ‘sent’ until afterward you’ll realise, hmmm I wasn’t going to go get milk until tomorrow, but something made me go today, and because I went today I had that conversation with that girl, and I think that conversation may have just changed her mind from a not good place to a more hopeful place.”

Feeling Stuck in this New Cycle?

Feeling Stuck in this New Cycle?

Freedom is something we all say we want, but it is an interesting quirk of human nature that receiving freedom can feel more challenging than literally being in prison. According to statistics in the U.S, UK and Australia two out of every three prisoners re-offend and return to prison within 3 years of release. Although the reasons for this are multi-layered, a major issue is the struggle to find jobs and have a stable home and family life. Whether consciously or subconsciously, prisoners are drawn back to an environment in which they at least have structure, routine, a roof over their heads, three meals a day and a close-knit community. This is not due to laziness or ‘once bad always bad’.  It is due, in part, to the fact that freedom and expansion requires support and time to develop a completely new set of living skills.

As restrictive as it is to always be told what to do, it can feel completely overwhelming to suddenly be in the driver’s seat of your life after years of receiving direction. This is one of the reasons, among others, that people stay in unhealthy relationships and jobs.  This is also one of the reasons why many are struggling with direction and movement forward in our new evolutionary cycle.

In our last cycle, many of you will relate to feeling like you had a ‘mission’ or a purpose. Even if you didn’t quite know what that mission or purpose was, you can be sure that in some way you were fulfilling it just by being here. Do not underestimate the effect your vibration and energy has had on others, just by you being you. As the old cycle came to an end, so too did our ‘contracts’. That doesn’t mean we are no longer needed, or no longer have a purpose here. It just means that ‘Part A’ of our incarnation here is done.  During Part A we all worked with our team of guides, or elders in the higher realms, who assisted us with our personal awakening process and also helped us to assist others here on Earth. It was hardly prison, but it wasn’t full freedom when compared to the completely new reality potentials of our new cycle.

As entered our new cycle, and since then, many of us have felt a sense of being in limbo. It’s like we know we’ve reached the end of our old contracts, but we feel like we’re still waiting for our new contracts. In the meantime, we feel like we’re in a kind of suspended animation – partly living and getting on with the day to day, but also partly aware that we’re supposed to be clicking into some new part of us, and perhaps haven’t yet.

Like prisoners, we are getting our first real taste of freedom. We are out in a great endless ocean of limitless possibility and potential. Our guides and elders have let us go, much in the same way parent’s have to let their children go when they go off to college. Just like parents, our soul and star family in the higher realms are still our family. We can still call them, they can come visit, only we’re ‘adults’ now. We are now responsible for what we do or don’t do. We now get to choose which paths we want to take, what areas of speciality we’d like to focus on, what areas of life here we’d like to get more involved in.

Being let go of like this can feel like an act of abandonment and even betrayal. Yet, setting someone free is the greatest act of love. It shows a belief in our ability to step into our power, and create a life and world of our choosing.  What might feel like you’ve been retrenched, is actually a graduation.

For many of us, this is our first real experience embodying our Solar Plexus. We have always worked with the ‘we’ for the ‘they’. This idea of being self-motivated and self-directed and having to ask ourselves “What do I want to do?” is a completely foreign concept to us.  Many of us yes have had to be self-motivated and self-directed in our work, running businesses and so on. Yet ultimately we were being motivated and directed by our higher purpose, our higher ‘team’. It was freedom within a box . Now, there is no box. There is only freedom. And that can feel scary, so much so that we might find ourselves feeling a bit stuck or frozen in that fear.

I was watching my little boy Jaxon walking today and thought how a toddler’s development process is so similar to what we are going through right now.  When he first stood up he didn’t immediately stroll briskly around the place. He held onto furniture as he cruised around finding his footing. Then he gradually started walking holding our hands. It took time for him to feel confident enough to take those first few steps completely on his own. 

We are really in this same boat right now. We are finding our footing, and part of our energy is cautious because the new is unknown. If this resonates, it helps to do something to get your stuck energy moving again. Doing something small every day that you have been procrastinating about is very powerful – cleaning a cupboard or room, organising files and folders, clearing out your closet, getting ‘admin’ type phone calls and errands done, starting on those ‘one day I want to/need to’ projects, framing that photo, planting that herb garden, painting that chair. These kind of activities really help to move stuck energy, and also help to energise the Solar Plexus sending all sorts of “I can do it” messages to it increasing your sense of self-motivation and self-direction. As your Solar Plexus is strengthened, qualities like your self-belief and confidence are enhanced, encouraging you to try new things and set new goals.

We are living in the critical beginning stages of a new evolutionary phase and it’s time for us all to contribute our piece of the jigsaw. Far from our ‘purpose’ being over, our great purpose is just beginning. Only this time instead of working within the confines of karmic ties, wounds and contracts, we get to explore the vast capabilities of our limitless soul and reality potential. Once we get over this initial phase of feeling a bit uncertain with our new energy, we will slowly start walking with greater sure-footedness, heart and soul-driven power, confidence and courage. Given support and time, our new freedom will turn from something overwhelming into something exciting and empowering with a powerful effect on the world around us.

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.
