STANDING ALONE? Great change is sweeping across and within our planet. We are all feeling Universe’s nudge to make dynamic changes within our lives. Humans are creatures of habit, and when confronted with having to make changes, can experience uncertainty and even fear. This leads to a response of holding tighter to resistance on multiple levels. With this resistance comes the cycle of emotional, and even physical, pain, which can manifest as the body responds. I liken this to the hydraulics at the base of a waterfall. For those of you who have rafted, you will know exactly what I mean. For those who have not, it is the water dynamics at the base of the falls where there is a churning or turning. If you become caught in the hydraulics, it would cause you to go up and then be pulled back under, over and over and over. This manifests in the emotional body as despair, and the feeling of standing alone against all odds. Our state of confusion, fear and resistance, clouds our thought process, and the potential for making poor choices is high. Decisions made in desperation can only lead to wasted motion and more pain and delay the state of being in the flow. It helps if we take a moment to look at the shift as an opportunity for growth, instead of the notion that we are falling victim to some unjust universal prank or punishment. Then we can remain floating at the surface with a clear view enabling us to see opportunities as they present themselves. It truly is all about our perception as stated in my post The Sky is Blue… To take this a step further, focus on the blessings in your life and express genuine gratitude in sacred moments, such as prayer or meditation each day. When you aren’t focused on what you don’t have or think you should have, something amazing happens--you begin drawing to you the energy of this strong focus. Now you are co-creating waves of positive potential, rolling like onto shore. The key is to remain in a space of faith and trust, not pushing. Wait for clear direction to be revealed in universe’s timing, which is impeccable. Blessings, Kate
