It's all going pear-shaped - right on schedule

Right now there feels to be a major heightening of anything within people, particularly those in the mainstream, that has not been owned, that has been suppressed or not dealt with in a healthy way. For those of you reading this, you have likely been working on your ‘stuff’ for years, decades even. You’ve cleansed, cleared, shifted, healed and released till the cows come home. You may even be at the stage now where you are realising you want to focus less on constantly having to ‘shift’ and more on just getting on with living as a conscious, awake human soul.

So here we are, in that state after years of inner work, looking around and thinking cool, let’s get this new reality happening! And in your personal world, you may well already be living in a ‘new reality’ way.  As we turn around to look at the world around us, on some level we half expect to see that everyone is shifting right along with us. Only what are we seeing instead?? A lot of cray cray.

People having meltdowns and feeling lost without knowing why. Politics looking like a reality show comedic circus. Terrorist attacks and false flag operations being rolled out on a non-stop conveyor belt. Hypnotic obsessions with reality stars, distracting everyone from realising we are all stars. Not the Hollywood type.

You might look around and think wow, we are in a great big mess, this is all going really pear-shaped! And yes it is a great big mess, and it is really pear-shaped – and it is right on schedule.

We knew these times were coming where everything not in alignment with our higher consciousness would come up for transformation or release. Some people had an idea that collectively shifting vibration would result in a bliss-filled world changed with a flash of light, but the reality is that any process of transformation includes a skin-shedding phase, a demolition phase. Change is messy. Change is challenging.

Before any process of transformation, be it personal, or a building, or a society or a world, we have crisis points and usually some chaos. You can’t take out your old carpet, and put in your new carpet, without sweeping out all the crap that you find underneath. The renovation crew have come in and stripped all of us of our old carpets. So the crap, on a personal and collective level, is highly visible right now.

For some of us this happened a while ago, and so we’ve been through the sweeping and cleaning stage. We’ve installed our fluffy new rugs, or maybe we prefer shiny wooden floorboards. But for other people it is a really new process. They feel emotionally vulnerable, naked, raw, exposed. They feel fear and uncertainty.  For born truth-seekers, we love shedding the old and moving into the new. And even then it can be an overwhelming process! For lots of other people though, truth and authenticity are scary things.

When you have spent a lifetime conforming, believing in external sources of authority and relying on them to tell you what to do and how to be, it can be very overwhelming for your Soul to suddenly want to start having a say. When you have spent a lifetime repressing your Soul, your true feelings, needs, memories and instincts, it can feel very disconcerting to be feeling desperately unhappy, angry or confused without knowing why. When you have spent a lifetime controlling others, it can bring up a lot of rage or desperation when others no longer allow you to do that.

For all of us, we are being called to loosen our grip on false beliefs and old stories that are not true, to let go wherever we have been too rigid or judgemental, resulting in what feels like constant identity metamorphoses.

This process, this next step of our collective evolutionary growth, is happening to everyone, regardless of their level of awakening or consciousness. Everyone is at a different stage, and everyone responds to it in their own way. Regardless, it is happening.

It is really important right now to live from your own core and centre every day, and to consciously take a moment to feel yourself getting back to centre any time you feel out of it. For anyone energetically and emotionally sensitive, it is easy to feel other people’s stuff, to absorb it and take it on board, and think it is your own. You have a shower every day for your body. Make sure you do the same for your energy, as a way of staying in alignment with your centre. Do what works for you.

One of the simplest things is to close your eyes and breathe deeply in and out, even just a few times. Feel yourself breathing out all that is not yours, and breathing in your own self, connected to your own highest Source of truth, connected to your own Soul. Do this anytime you feel to. You might like to start and end each day doing something like this. Do it before having important conversations. Do it before and after social outings or events if they make you feel anxious or you know you have a tendency to pick up on other people’s energies.

Hang in there. As the saying goes, it’s all okay in the end. And if it’s not okay, it’s not the end.

Open yourself to love and life

For anyone who is holding themselves back from loving again or persevering with a dream due to being hurt/disappointed in the past: 

You are here to experience and express that which is in your heart - whether that be great love, a loving home and family, or making the world more beautiful with your spirit, your essence and your gifts. Don’t be scared because of what was. It was terrible. It was tragic. But to not create the love and beauty again that you were born to create, to cut off the joy that wants to be felt due to the fear of the past recurring, is to repeat the past hurt every day. 

Let it go, and open yourself up again to the life and love that wants to pour through you and from you. 

- paraphrased from a beautiful message that came through in a recent Soul Session.

Letting Go of Worry, Letting in a Solution

If there is anything troubling you in your personal life right now, worry about a certain issue be it financial/health/relationships/other, or an unhappiness with how something is going, imagine yourself holding a balloon containing the issue/worry. Really feel it's all in there. Now let it go. 

Ask that the Divine/God/the universe/your Higher Self please handle it in the best possible way for the highest good. Once you've done this, in the coming days, follow any feelings or intuitive nudges that pop up. 

You may get the urge to do something, say something or go somewhere. You may feel compelled to meditate or journal on something in particular. In that moment of divine inspiration you won't necessarily remember your balloon exercise, but later you'll look back and think, hmm how interesting I did that balloon thing last night and this afternoon I made that realisation that has helped me, or I read that book that's been sitting unread for months and turned to the exact page that had an answer for me. 

Letting go of worry creates the space for us to receive divine guidance and insight, offering ideas on new actions to take and creative solutions we may not otherwise have considered. It 'untwists' our hose that connects us to all that we need including opportunities, meetings with those who can help us, synchronicities and miracles out of nowhere.

The Car that Wouldn’t Sell...until I got the Message

The Car that Wouldn’t Sell...until I got the Message

I love it when things happen in life to remind you that everything is energy, everything has a perfect right timing, and everything has a reason. For years and years I had my ideal car (at the time) on my vision boards. Finally, 2 years ago, I bought the car only a few days before my birthday. The registration date happened to be on my birthday, and the girl who I bought it from also had my birthday!  So it was all meant to be, right?

Not even a week went by before I found out I was pregnant, so I knew that my shiny BMW had a relatively short lifespan in our soon-to-be larger household. By mid last year it was obvious we needed a more spacious car and so we put it up for sale. It felt like I’d just needed to buy this one thing for myself and once I had...well I was more than happy to let it go and move on to the next wonderful chapter of parenthood and the world of SUV’s.

Only...it didn’t sell. Month after month went by. No calls. Almost 6 months went by and still nothing. It’s as if it was invisible. (First clue right there!!!) I knew it didn’t have anything to do with ‘the slow market’ or anything like that. Everything is energy. If it wasn’t selling, there was a reason. Maybe the person who was going to buy it wasn’t ready yet, or maybe on some level I wasn’t yet ready to let it go. I thought and thought about what I could possibly still be holding onto but came up with nothing. Finally my aunty asked me something that I constantly ask others: “Have you journalled about it?” Ummm no, no I haven’t!

I have this theory. When you journal, it’s fairly impossible to continue to avoid an issue or aspect of yourself. Likewise if you’re avoiding journaling (especially if you’re usually a regular journaller, or are receiving little nudges to journal) then it’s probably likely you’re avoiding having to look at something. So off to my journal I went.

Well, clearly this was a very deeply embedded, stubborn issue because I must have journalled for about 4 pages before I finally started to feel that I was cracking through beyond really surface stuff. When you’re journaling about an issue, you really want to keep going until you get those lightbulb moments, that feeling of oh my gosh sudden clarity rush through you. It’s like being a miner, digging, digging, until you hear that ping that tells you that you’ve hit something.

My issue went all the way back to my newborn self, to my Birth Day. Sometimes I think our peeps upstairs must shake their heads at how long it takes us to get the message! Here they were giving me all these signs with my car, to look at my actual Birth Day, but I had only seen the references to my birthday! As was often the case 40 years ago, my dad wasn’t present at my birth and guess what...my little newborn self took on all sorts of beliefs as a result! As a conscious adult I felt clear of these old beliefs, but there was still some part of my newborn self that was still feeling and holding them. These beliefs were around being seen (hello invisible car!), waiting for my dad’s approval and acceptance, and waiting for permission to own my own worth and value and right to be here!

Throughout my life I’ve been aware of the many layers of my birth and dad (and other) issues, aware of the many ways they have manifested and have eventually cleared most of it. However, as is the case with 2013, it’s just not possible to carry even one speck of our old beliefs and baggage forward with us into our new reality. Bless the car sale delay – it was forcing me to look at the last remnants of old issues and beliefs that I really thought I had cleared. Perhaps I had cleared them, only now we’re dealing with deeper layers as we are called to move into higher versions of ourselves.

10 pages of journaling later, the phone started ringing. That week 6 people called – but still, no-one came to see it!  Okay, now what?  A couple of weeks went by and a good friend asked me “Is the car still on your vision board?”  I had to laugh. I hadn’t updated my vision board since before I bought the car, and lately it had been falling off the wall – and I’d been trying to stick it back up only to find it on the floor again the next day. So, a new vision board is definitely on my current to do list, but in the meantime I took the BMW picture off the old vision board. I went and sat outside with the photo, and did a little burning ceremony with it while I expressed all my thoughts of gratitude around what this car had been trying to show me. I blessed the car and the sale delay, because it had made me look at old issues in a new way. It had really called me to step up into a new level of myself and embody a new feeling around no longer waiting for permission to own my worth and value and right to be here (if indeed I was doing this, which apparently according to my birth self I was on some level!)  I reclaimed my authority over my own self, I reclaimed my power, and I told my newborn self she was loved and worthy and of value and had a right to be here – not for anything she did or was or had, but just because she was her little divine self. What I really loved is that the car just couldn’t sell, and wouldn’t sell, until I had done this!

A few days later, two days before my 40^th birthday which is today, a lovely family called. They came, they saw, and they bought the BMW!

So if there is something in your life that is frustrating you right now, some delay or issue or recurring pattern, take out your journal and ask: What are you trying to tell me? There is always a message – and bless those things that are the messengers because as difficult as they can be to deal with they are hanging in there, holding on to the tough situations, even if we get upset, until we get their message! Now that’s love.
