My Christmas Wish For You!

Twenty-sixteen has been a struggle for many of us. Illness, death, financial struggles, employment setbacks all seem to have combined to create massive upheaval and chaos in our lives. The energies have been intense and not particularly pleasant for those of us who have chosen to become more than we are at present.

You may feel that all is lost and there is not much hope, but understand these are exciting times we reside in! It is through pain and struggle that we become so much more. Life is not lived on the mountain tops, but in the valleys and slogging up and down the sides of the mountain. Yes, the view from the top is great, but is is only the pain of the journey that allows us to see it.

As I sit here in the quiet of this Christmas morning, I feel the pain and struggles of humanity. While I know this too shall pass, it doesn't make the process any less comfortable. We will continue to struggle in the year ahead, but I do believe 2017 is a year we will begin to see significant change. The more we allow ourselves to go with the process, the more quickly and easily the process becomes.

My wish for you in the coming year is that you learn to appreciate the process! Understand change only happens through great pressure. Many of us undergo the adjustment kicking and screaming because we are being removed from our comfortable ruts. Becoming better is not easy or pleasant, but it is required if we desire to live in a better world.

Merry Christmas! May 2017 be the year you break out of the dark cocoon of your imprisonment and learn to use your wings!

Dealing With The Changing Energies

I have had several discussions with friends about the wildly changing energies that have been going on over the last several months. There are many days when the world seems so tense and chaotic that people are at the limits of what they can handle. It has been one crazy roller coaster ride, and at this point there don't seem to be any signs of it letting up any time soon.

There is no doubt in my mind this is all happening because the world is in a state of rapid evolution. While progress is being made, the changes are not smooth and this is why we all feel so out of balance.

Understand that nothing is going to stay the same for long. Everything is going to seem unstable as things change...and change again. Getting grounded and finding your center is going to take some work on your part.

How to Ground Yourself In The Midst Of Change

1. Follow your daily meditation/connection practice. It is much easier to remain connected to Source energy when you take time to connect every day. When you are stressed, habits are easy to fall back into. (Connecting To Heart) (Your Daily Practice)
2. Stay in the present. By focusing on what is happening in this moment, you limit the amount of time you stay in fear or regret. (In This Moment Of Now)
3. Focus on the positive aspects of change. Remember that the Universe is conspiring to provide for the greater good. What may not feel good at the moment will ultimately work out for the good of all--including yourself. (The Blessing In The Struggle) 
4. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Change is only going to occur at a more rapid pace the further along we go. When you anticipate the change it is much easier to roll with the punches.   

We are capable of remaining calm and stable in this period of great change! Help those around you cope by being the example they need to see to understand how it is done!!!
