Energy Update "Emerging"

I’ve had messages about Emerging. While I am to understand this is a subtle part of our personal expression and perhaps dimensionality shifting into a higher, more powerful gear, it appears to be an important piece to the puzzle. As I write this I am laughing at the fact that we create our reality and what I am writing about seems a little gossipy to me! The messaging has been we are rising up as though emerging from the depth of a pool of water. I did catch a snippet written by another intuitive, I am so sorry, I cannot remember which source, however there was mention about ascending. This action has been cited in many texts about the energy shifts surrounding 2012. The energy cycle is to culminate in 2016 and this emergence is just a part of the process but is an achievement and plateau on which to rest on some clarity for a moment and feel our power more fully. I’ve read about this and its impact on us as a society. I’ve read dramatic accounts about flashes of light and personal wrestle. Please remember there are many perspectives on many things written in books. I am writing this to remind you, the best way to emerge from water is not to try but to let go and you will rise or float up. It’s in the wrestling where we pull ourselves down.

Energy Update & "Gentle"

“Gentle” I saw this energy pattern in July but want to share it now. There is some evidence I see about refinement in energetic relationships with others and ultimately with oneself. With this wave of energy, I highly encourage you to be gentle with yourself while working through it. It seems we are able to hold a more solid level of peace while experiencing minor or more intense upheaval, which in the past may have distressed us. It is as though the situations that are coming forward on some levels are allowing us to see under the veil, to see the role the other is playing for us so the story from our position is cracking apart and being revealed. When dealing with this with another person, ask them gently, in their own time to rise to a higher place of communication. They may never have been able to put voice to their feelings before but when doing it this time they are guarded. The next part is a choice, you can return with defense or coach them to come the direction you feel is better for all involved. You may sit there with no emotional charge from these dealings. This is good. Ask for clarity on the things to say that take this unfolding to its highest level now Change patterns, remember you choose your feelings. (I’ll have a more in depth article about this in two weeks) If you find yourself in the same feelings playing like a broken record, change the pattern. Apply the things you’ve learned, maybe some of these concepts have come from these very articles. Hold boundaries, ask the universe/guides/angels for support, ask and listen moment by moment to what you want and need, then follow it! Address your feelings as they come up to see them in this apocalyptic way, or under the veil. The reminder is be easy on yourself. Make mistakes and recover through laughing at the abundance in your life to keep bringing you situations from which to learn and grow. Once you feel you’ve got it laugh even harder! This is an affirmation of your power to come back to YOU…..to fully awaken into the true you! The other important process that runs alongside being gentle is stop when you feel confused or overwhelmed. Turn off your mind and take a break. When you’re ready start to feel through what you want to see in your life in the coming months. Allow those feelings to infuse into your cells and through you fully. For me this means feeling great joy around my desires, acknowledging them through my power as these experiences and feelings already exist!

Energy Update....Articulate

"Articulate" I wrote this article three years ago for an art organization's newsletter. I reread it from my art blog and felt it is a great post for this week. .....And a great reminder for me, ehem, I mean all of us! I feel a bit derailed from this place I was three years ago but hope to be self inspired and felt finding this article was of course, no accident! Also, I did not edit the article for this post even thought I now may, say these things a little differently. Enjoy! "Your Inner Art Career Search Engine" This may sound a bit funny to you but I waited anxiously for my art career to come. I'm not sure, but I think many artists are no strangers to anxiety, which I define as the attachment to outcome. I showed my art extensively, hoping to get a sale, hoping I'd be discovered! You know what? This all could have worked but my attitude stood in the way. I was positive but didn't have the key to knowing how to let things really take hold. I didn't know what I really wanted. I was lacking confidence. If you meet me, I'm a go-getter, dynamic and fun. The one key I lacked was BELIEF. Unlike 'faith', belief is a personal rule. We set it for ourselves. Only we know our rules, which are formed by our desires. When we find excuses, blame and negativity seeping into our day, it's time to shift gears and ask yourself what you want to experience in your life? My advice? Live life expectant, responsive and know your belief to be true for you. Looking at everything as an opportunity creates excitement each day. I was at a conference in New York. My feet had blisters and I needed two band-aids. A few minutes later I walked out to the lobby and right there in front of me were two band-aids on the floor. Stunned I walked past them. Then as I got a little further I realized those two band-aids were for me. Now, you don't need to think this through too hard to realize that I asked and I got what I needed. While I was busy judging this situation, a concept came to me and gave me a new way to look at things and at 'mistakes' too. Somebody lost their band-aids. However, if we look at this from a different angle, maybe this person needed to ask for band-aids to learn how to ask for help or maybe they needed to learn about disappointment. They make the choice. They decide if they blame or get angry or choose to step beyond the fear and ask for help. I've seen my son learn about disappointment and what a gift for him to now be able to recognize disappointment without attachment, shift and ask for what he wants or needs. I wish this for my mystery band-aid person too. See, when we fill in our strengths with other's weakness we can actually be doing them a disservice. When we allow in place of enabling....coach people through their weakness, now we are being responsive and expectant of their assured success. Or in some cases allow them to fall on their own devices to rise up and roar! Writing down what you want your life experience to be is powerful. Once you've done that, stick to your rule that "you get what you want and need." When you find your thoughts to be negative, turn them to affirming what you DO want. My personal shift was as simple as this: For 5 years I said to others, "My art career is coming". April 2011 I started saying "My art career is here now." I had nothing more than I did before but I kept believing, it was here, feeling it inside, taking small actions each day to see it was true. Since then opportunity has come & the more I say "My art career is here now", the more I notice my confidence soar and people stand up and take notice! What's the difference? The first phrase, "My art career is coming" comes from a place of shame filled with "shoulds." It should come soon, I should make money, I promise, I'll sell something soon, etc. Unknowingly, I was draining myself of worth each time I said it! Get noticed for your infectious, confident self! Starting today, write down what you want your life experiences to be and what you need to do to make your art be its fullest. Keep reminding yourself its here now, feel it and live it. You'll see a change in how others receive you. You know what? This is what we want. We want to be connected to and inspire others, because all of us know, that brings everything else we want. Have fun setting your life up just the way you want it and don't judge the how. Think of my band-aids!

Energy Update "Discombobulated"

Anybody felt the angry train running through your life or witnessing it in others? Anyone seen and felt the pressure in relationships where there have been unresolved root issues or things amiss which are now amplified? Root causes are exposing themselves with strong emotions so they flesh out once and for all. New patterns replace the old and allow change. It seems single “unique to you” core issue are rising in many and pushing in a way for it to be fully resolved. Taking the high road means we act in place of react. However, I would venture to say many are reacting on these biggies. Holding our power is key but when we can’t sort through the mire of what may feel like confusion we can ask for clarity and support or more importantly ride the wave of it while being open to what unfolds. Larger internal questions can be asked, "Am I enabling the other person?" "In this situation with so much energy around it how do I hold my power?" For all of us, making change will allow the energy to unfold and be completed. If you are finding yourself stuck, self-forgiveness may be something to consider. I hope next week I’m writing about the circus being in town! This article is a little heavy.
