The Shift: Ready or Not, Here It Comes…Just plain ole good for everyday life!!…
Whether or not you believe that Call Calleman’s reckoning of October 28 is a date to put in your 2011 appointment book (a date with destiny?), it certainly seems that the planetary energies are intensifying greatly. At the same time, there have been increasing reports of a major uptick in solar activity including coronal mass ejections that have reached the earth. In addition, the acceleration of world events also seems undeniable as global financial systems which favor the few as opposed to the many come under public scrutiny and protest.
Each of us is experiencing varying degrees of personal chaos amidst these larger chaotic trends. Now more than ever we need to anchor and ground ourselves so that the energies being visited upon earth (whatever the source) don’t throw us off kilter. Fortunately the earth charges, while still happening, have not accelerated to an alarming extent although they will likely continue. After the Japan quake, many other events have occurred but not with the same devastating effects. As the saying goes “Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.”
The energies engendered by the Shift are powerful and increasing in strength. Many energetically sensitive individuals can feel these changes taking place. The new energies are repatterning our individual “reality bubbles”, accelerating earth changes and weather patterns, altering our perceptions of self and other, creating karmic rebalancing “episodes”, and bringing up blocked energies for clearing. As found in spiritual teachings (such as Taoist or Vedic traditions, for example), we are energetic beings and living in an energetic, vibratory soup we call the universe. It’s not surprising then that these new energies are affecting all of us very profoundly. (Continued below.)
One of the most important messages that we like to stress is the need to stay out of fear. Fear-based thinking is easy to slip into during this time of great social and economic turmoil, but easily becomes a millstone that weighs down the awakening process. However the Shift is indeed surfacing darker aspects and energies that are being presented for what spiritual teachers and lightworkers call transmutation, i.e. ,working through the dark matter of accumulated karma. Carl Jung calls this “confronting the shadow self” in order to heal the whole. This is happening now on a collective scale. Although this process may be difficult to deal with, these “instant replays” of past events and stuck emotional energy are gifts and opportunities for spiritual growth. Although we each our individual work to do, we ultimately are in this together and many things are progressing wonderfully. We have every reason to believe that the shift is a positive and powerful transformation. — Tom Valovic and Annette Farrington
How to Mindfully Prepare for and Thrive During the Shift
We’ve really been preparing for the shift all of our lives consciously and or subconsciously. If you believe in reincarnation, some would say we have been preparing for many lifetimes. Our physical, mental and emotional bodies are adjusting to these radical energetic changes.It’s important to keep in mind we are going through a purification process so it’s best not to fight it but rather to try and help it along. Here are some suggestions:
Stay in Your Joy
The most important preparation is internal. Prepare your heart, mind and spirit for the increasing energy change. As Ac Tah says “Stay in your joy”. Joy and love hold the higher frequencies.
Practice Meditation or a Centering Practice Daily
We recommend meditating at least twice a day in the morning and evening. In the evening, you can clear your mind and energy field by placing negativity and stress into a flame. Light a candle and imagine all stress or frustration being burned away and transformed into love, light and joy.
Walks and Meditations in Nature
Nature is our ally in this transformation. The earth has an enormous capacity to transmute our negative and lower vibrations. Reconnect to the earth. The Hopi have said that this would be a time where we would reawaken our connection with the earth and again recognize the Earth as a sentient being.
Eat Healthy Food and Drink Pure Water
Eat organic whole foods and drink pure water if possible. Try to limit alcohol consumption or smoking, This can help to refine your subtle energy bodies and allows you to tap into and resonate with the higher vibrational frequencies that are coming in. And as Ac Tah said in one of our teleconferences, in addition to what you eat, how you are feeling when you are cooking and eating matter. What is your emotional state when you eat? Are you stressed out? Are you experiencing negative emotion? Always come to the dinner table with a joyful and clear consciousness and always prepare food with love.
Salt crystal baths
Water and salt have a tremendous capacity to transmute the lower emotional states and relive tension and stress. Try using using dead sea salt crystals.
Go with The Flow
Letting go and going with flow is important now. Don’t hold too tightly to the shores of the old ways of doing things or the old emotional patterns that no longer serve your highest good. It will make the process easier. Watch for emotional patterns that are coming up now for clearing.
Stay out of fear
Fear is a lower energy and can spiral into panic and confusion. Fear can appear in different forms as anxiety, anger, worry and violence. When we are in fear we are projecting on the future. Fear dis-empowers us and destabilizes our awareness. The important thing is to recognize your emotional state when in fear and choose a higher emotion. When in fear or feeling down, we have the choice to raise our vibration so, sing, listen to soothing music, meditate, light a candle. Do something that brings your joy back.
Compassion, love and non-harmful activity
Practice compassion and love when dealing with yourself and others. Stay heart centered and make an effort not to be harmful to others in thought, word or deed. Breathe in love and compassion and send it out as you go about your daily routine.
