Preparing for Equinox
A Changing World
by
SelaciaWhat if the world changed and you
thought it was the same as before? What if you changed, too, your energy
shifting so fast and so dramatically that you didn't recognize your own
changes?
Consider that these things are true. Ponder for a
moment to consider what this means - in your everyday life and in a very
big-picture sense. As you reflect, examples like the following may come
to mind.
The WorldThe world may seem
the same over time, or even worse, if you forget to question what you
learn from the media and other outside sources. News that makes
headlines is commonly focused on problems. Also, most issues that get
attention are scrutinized in a linear way - leaving out the shades of
gray and big-picture view that naturally exist.
True change
begins on an internal and subtle level, within the structures of society
and between people as consciousness shifts. It takes time for the
important ripples of change to be fully felt and seen. Trust, though,
that they are there. Trust that you are a vital part of the mix too.
Your
actions matter. Indeed, your observation counts too. A brand-new world
is created in part through observation - humanity seeing itself in a new
way. You must see it for it to unfold. To do this, you need to look
more deeply than the average person, noticing the subtleties and the
interconnections. If you intend to notice them and be mindful, you will
discover them.
YouYou may feel stuck or
delayed at times, but these experiences are not representative of your
overall progress. In fact, if you focus too much on obstacles, you may
miss seeing how far you have come!
You are not the same person
you were a year ago, six months ago, or even six weeks ago. As part of
your awakening process in recent times, you have been exposed to
countless new ideas about the true nature of reality. Some of this has
occurred in your dream state, a fruitful time when your rational mind
turns off and you are more open to experiencing your vast
multidimensional self.
Other factors in your accelerated
awakening include your interactions with other people. Even a chance
encounter with a stranger can be the catalyst for something big,
allowing you to unfold in a grander way. Your very DNA is changing, too,
as your body holds more light and you shed old patterns. There is a
cumulative effect from these things - they matter even before you can
tangibly see them. In fact, they matter right now.
Tips for Utilizing These MomentsMake
the most of these moments with a few simple practices. If you're
already doing some of these things, do them a bit more or with more
mindfulness - especially when you feel challenged.
Ironically,
it's often when one is in distress that a person neglects the very
spiritual practices and healing tools that could be helpful. However,
you are a divine changemaker, not a lightweight. This means that you do
have it within you to apply what you know, helping yourself when you
most need the help.
Be Your Own Reality Gauge -
When your friends complain about how bad things are, step outside of
the norm of black-and-white thinking. Expand your view to include the
larger picture. Society is being restructured at the most basic levels
and it's going to be a roller coaster ride for a while. Invite your
higher self to reveal the goodness at the core of all, and to remind you
of the forward leaps already taken and now under way.
Be Still and Reflect
- Much suffering is alleviated when you take moments out of your day to
pause. Mastery of multidimensional states requires that you regularly
turn off the world long enough to listen to your inner wisdom. In the
stillness you can become aware of things that will save you lots of time
later. Being quiet is also essential to recalibrate and refuel. Nothing
in the outer world can give you the peace that this does.
Find Your Emotional Center
- Ever notice that you have more intense feelings on some days? One
reason right now is the planetary cycle, stirring up all sorts of
feelings. In the days leading up to Equinox, emotions will be more on
the surface. If you are feeling challenged emotionally, do what you can
to work intelligently with the feelings before you act. Take a deep
breath and intentionally let go of the discordant emotion. Walk around
the block or get some other exercise if you can.
Monitor Where Your Head Is
- Become observant of where you place your focus. If you are spending
the majority of your time thinking about one thing - with displeasure,
pleasure or any feeling in between - you can get off track and be out of
balance. Example: being focused on finding a new job is helpful when
you want to get work, but don't discount the importance of having fun
and connecting with people having nothing to do with your job search.
You might be amazed at what opens up when you simply meet a friend for
lunch, and something seemingly random that he or she says triggers an
idea that leads you to your new work.
Become Awake to Yourself
- Accelerate your growth by becoming more awake to yourself. This
includes your feelings, thoughts, actions, and dreams for the future.
You do this in a process over time. Sometimes you do this alone, like
when you're being more mindful of your focus. Sometimes you do this with
others, including when you work with a healer or other practitioner
assisting you with wellness and self-understanding. Sometimes you do
this by becoming more conscious about decisions, discovering what
motivates your desires and the potential impact of choices in advance of
making them.
Allow for Growth - Accelerate
your own transformation by becoming more allowing and accepting as you
experience a growth spurt. If you've been around two-year-olds, you know
children have little patience or tolerance when they don't get what
they want when they want it. Everyone goes through that phase. If the
child could only see how fast he or she was developing and what was
coming, there would be a sense of awe! Now an adult and on a spiritual
path of awakening, you have much more patience than you did as a child.
Still, there likely are moments when you feel so stressed that you want
to scream "no" and run away. If you can remember to be allowing and
patient, you will have a smoother ride.
Regardless of your
circumstances right now, decide that you will fully utilize this window
of opportunity ahead of Equinox - to grow, to shine your light, and to
help create the new more loving world you desire.
