Do you truly know that you have a choice? Some of you are experiencing an unfamiliar pressure, which can feel tight or uncomfortable, as if you are being leaned on, drawn toward an unknown, or propelled forward. You may find yourself feeling as if things are moving and changing so quickly that you cannot find solid ground to stand on. Since we do live in a world of duality, you may be experiencing pain, fear, confusion, and an overwhelming weariness… some of you just want to give up and get out of here. Others of you are focused on all that is wrong in the world… hunger, tragedy, violence, war, natural disaster, lack of and misuse of resources, etc. and you feel compelled to fight… either for something new, or against what exists. It is, in fact, your familiarity with duality that the new planetary frequency is asking you to move beyond… and you can. You live in your own comfort zone… duality and polarity are alive and well in that zone… even if you are not happy with what you see around you. You know how to manage it. You are used to it even if you want to change it. Many have settled for the comfort zone because of its familiarity. You know exactly what to do when what is familiar arises, whether it feels good, bad, sad, high energy, low energy, or neutral for you. Ask yourself, “What do I want to experience now?” Another way to phrase the question is to ask, “What do I want to create now?” If you deeply trust in Source, you can tap into the knowing that there are no obstacles and that you already have all that you need to begin to totally transform your life experience, so what would you choose to manifest? How do you want to contribute? What can you do to serve? Core Components to Life Transformation 1. Commit to Your Soul Recognize this evolutionary choice point and say “YES” to your soul… to life itself. Devote yourself to epic self-transformation, to telling a new story, to opening the portal to real life change in everything you see around you. Know that your commitment serves the highest good of all. Know that you do not have to lose relationships or things in your life… but you may. If relationships or things do dissolve, trust that the new in your life makes up for any perceived loss in meaningful and boundless ways that you cannot fully appreciate until the transformation gains substance and momentum. The paradox or duality in this is that you may, in fact, fear the effects and outcomes of transformation as much as you say you want it, or more. It is human to feel fear (or even terror) in the face of the unknown, the mystery, and it will demand a deepened trust and a much stronger faith to make this commitment to your soul, but one that benefits you more than anything else you could choose. Ultimately, your commitment to your soul brings you joyful self-expression and boundless freedom in your new life adventure. 2. Examine the Story You Tell When you were born you came into the world on a particular frequency… your unique vibrational wave. You knew who you are and why you are here. Over time, that knowing became buried in “sludge” or in shadow… you experienced a disconnect from your purpose for being, from your uniqueness, from your gifts, from the truth of who you really are, and from the passion that fuels your personal and professional life… naturally. You disconnected from the joy that feeds your soul. It happened to all of us… life experiences that we judged as hurtful, painful, confusing, traumatic, or shameful were boxed up and put away on a shelf, out of sight and out of mind, or so we thought. Over the years, the accompanying emotions popped up here and there, often causing us to scramble to jam the lid back on as tightly as we could. That worked for a while longer… until it didn’t and the emotion popped up again. It may not show up exactly as the original because we have worked through some of it over time… but it will rise up when triggered, and it will be triggered as we move into higher frequencies. In fact, the more you feel a deep and heart-felt desire to help others and make the world a better place, the more the shadows may arise to show themselves to you… to give you access to the truth that they hold. That which you hid away is not in alignment with who you really are… it was put away in a distorted form… you now have the opportunity to let the truth shine to bring all aspects of your life into alignment with what is now possible for you. You put those away for very good reason at the time… you did it creatively and very cleverly… but when you boxed up what was experienced as negative, you also capped your capacity to experience full-out joy, love and connection. Reconnect to your spirit, to who you really are and why you are here to ignite the passion that fuels every aspect of your life. The sacred lives in you, in the shadows you carry. Access your impassioned truth and tell your new story! 3. Uncover the Truth in Your Current Challenge The truth of your challenge, at its root, is rarely what it appears to be. You probably often express your challenge in ways similar to, “I don’t have enough money”, “I could never do that”, “That’s too big for me to take on”, “Oh, nobody will want/pay for that”, “I tried that before and it didn’t work”, “That could never work”, etc. Those kinds of statements are reactions, and are based on past experience and old judgments or beliefs imposed on you by others but taken in as if they are your own. If you do not find the way to release that which has been buried in sludge and shadow, you will continue to react to new opportunities. What life is trying to show you cannot be seen with clarity when your automatic mode of operation is to react. This autopilot mode of operation affects every aspect of your life… your relationships with loved ones and business associates, your relationship to the energetic currency of money, your relationship with spirit, and, of course, your relationship with your spirited self. Your capacity to feel joyfully ALIVE has been dimmed, as has your ability to let life live through you, bringing you boundless freedom and the new life adventure that is right here for you now. Reacting to what life shows you is based on fear. You may want change yet, at the same time, fear that nothing in your life can really change can be an underlying block to progress or you may cling with all of your might to what you know, a state that holds true change at arm’s length. Your old story can hold you back in a variety of ways. You may get excited about a new idea or opportunity and then you flip a switch… all the reasons you could not do it pop up and you withdraw from it… you disconnect from the spark of excitement that lit up… you put out the spark and stay in your comfort zone, avoiding what life and spirit was sharing with you. To maintain your old story, you may develop a list of reasons that you cannot do something… not enough time, not enough money, not enough knowledge, etc. Once you trust your spirit and deeply know that what excites the truth of all of who you are is meant for you (before you have all that you need to manifest it, before you know all the steps to bring it to life and without having to know the final outcome fully), you’ll know… in a whole, new way, when to keep the spark ignited so Source can pave the way for it to enter your life and bring you gifts and fulfillment beyond anything you ever considered possible for you. Your sacred truth lives in you. Step aside, shine the light in the shadows and embrace all of who you really are. 4. Make a Conscious Choice… Respond vs. React Take your first step into boundless freedom by taking the time to respond to requests, invitations and offers. Respond from your deep connection with spirit… your inner wisdom… from your knowing. This includes the ability to say “no” at times. If you find yourself unable to say no or going into a long, elaborate story to justify your saying no… it’s a clear signal that you’re reacting from your past influences and perceptions; from your old story… you cannot respond to the current situation with fresh eyes, nor with clarity and confidence. In fact, saying no is sometimes exactly what the other person needs you to do for their evolution, and you are not connected internally at a deep enough level to know when that is the case. You have every right to say no to anyone at any time. In fact, it can be an obligation or responsibility for the highest good of all. When a “no” comes from connected knowing, it is required of you to say it. If a “no” is a challenge for you, you are not alone and you can begin to consciously examine your responses and triggers… and you can alter them to keep you on your path with fewer distractions by practicing “no” when it’s for the highest good… yours or another’s. The evolution is in your deepened connection to spirit, to your inner voice, in you every day. There is a paradox here … an aspect of duality and polarity… you must also deeply know when a resounding “YES!” is required. Discernment is key for conscious choice to become your new norm. As you open to the energetic field of love and uncover the truth of the gifts and truth in the sludge, you can effortlessly and whole-heartedly say YES… to your next step, to an unexpected opportunity, to the truth of who you are… to full engagement with life. Life can live through you and you can create what most fully supports you and those around you… personally and professionally. You are spirit having an experience in the physical… there is no separation, in truth. Reconnect, shine the light in the sludge to unearth the true core power of all of who you really are, of your impassioned purpose, and live the boundless freedom and new life of adventure you are here to experience and share. That itself supports those around you and changes the world. Alchemy begins! 5. Express Yourself… Share Your New Story Your passion fuels your purpose and thus your life… naturally. Ah, yes, another paradox… your focus on your purpose, on what you were born to share, and your reconnection to the passion that fuels your purpose and results in a transformed life… may seem to be all about you, yet is exactly what will make life better for others and make the world a better place. Living your new life adventure of boundless freedom can become your default autopilot… your new way of being and the new story you get to tell. Do not wait any longer! Share what you have now… right where you are at, now. There are souls waiting for you… they need you… right now. Just share at every opportunity and in every occasion that arises to do so. Connect with others and communicate your truth. This doesn’t mean lecture or monologue… it means connect heart to heart, it means listen deeply, it means know when to speak and when silence serves best, it means discerning what spirit wants to share through you in any moment. Step aside and ask Source (the divine, God, the Universe) to speak through you, utilizing your most natural, gifted and empowered state of being to connect with others. Simply You… Naturally! Your life situation is the surest way to examine what you’re being, while determining the extent to which your life – as in your higher awareness, your sacred self, your consciousness, your life purpose, your passion – is being fully expressed (or not) through the actions, choices, decisions, and relationships you choose in your human experience! Your spirit is asking you to take special note of your strengths, your grace, your life purpose, your talents or what is holding you back from your path of freedom and allowing these true attributes to infuse your choices and life situation into a pathway of possibility. Review your life story to identify what’s not working, moving into the energy that this story holds with connection to your body and your choices, to source the pathways for reclaiming what has been denied, free up the constriction in your experience and shine the light on solutions for the answers you seek. You can experience a pivotal moment when the past and the present collide and come to the surface in ways that are not always obvious, recover a sense of joyful embodied connection and fearlessly embrace life fully with your loved ones and the other souls you are here to serve. Before your life circumstances (what you see around you in your environment, your bank account, your home, your work space, your relationships) can change, you can experience epic self-transformation… a leap of brilliance! We need assistance to change, to know ourselves that intimately and to tell a new story, particularly since we need to start telling it before it shows up around us in our everyday lives. Find the mentor, healer, wisdom guide, community, and supports that you need to free yourself from your old story… and know, in every fiber of your being, that you CAN.
