Walking through a shift in time
In the days following the stellar energy of the winter solstice, there are three groups of people — those who felt the shift, those who didn’t and others who are not sure about their experience. Some of us work actively on changing and shaping our lives. Some people wait patiently, and others live life in the exactly the same way. Of course, life is not the same — not at all. Everything changes when such light touches the planet.
If we ever felt a mystical shift in energy, as simple as the opening of the heart space, we know it takes time for alterations to occur in the physical world. The light works to ignite dreams and illuminate misconceptions on the path of the soul. Sometimes, the light shines on our problems (including world conflict), or it can point out possibilities or even give clues. It helps us to understand how we are right, wrong or confused.
Either way, it’s a little like looking at a meteor shower. At first, we see a streak in the sky. Then we see many streaks of light. As our eyes adjust to our tasks, the sky appears lit by stars and fast moving meteors. In the same way, the shift is coming to everyone in the world although it can happen very slowly and gradually. There are several trends with the energy, and it’s interesting to understand how they work.
The Feminine Energy
The New Energy expresses itself in a very female form with literal waves, seething with thoughts and emotions. Sometimes, I think about mood swings, accompanied by changes in hormones, because it’s an easy way of identifying the energy. Seriously, the energy brings a trough and peak with every wave. We can tap into the higher frequency or become pulled down by the lower frequency.
Identifying the lower frequency is quite easy. It comes through fear, anger, frustration, chaos and the dark information broadcast by media reports. There’s also the fear of a population-at-large, who associate enlightenment and the integration of the ego as a sort of death. And there’s a certain truth found in it – we’re never the same after stepping on the spiritual path – but we also experience rebirth.
In the peak of the wave, there’s cosmic consciousness, the wonderful feeling that comes with connecting with many others in the light. I suspect the universe is opening up our gifts, bestowing us with new ways of expression of our talents and expanding the potential of manifestation. When we awaken, it brings recognition of our capacity to co-create. Along with personal and group gifts, perception of the blueprints of inventions, energy devices and global solutions is beginning to make itself known. We can help with this potential future by amplifying the wave of this potential while imagining it in physical form.
Misconceptions
Wherever we have a problem, it is accompanied by a misconception. We may not see the path to a solution, or we may not see another person’s point of view. (There are hundreds of options – all are learning experiences.) Events from the past can cloud possibilities, and they can cause us to believe in possible outcomes, which are NOT in alignment with the higher self. Actions, emotions and thoughts often reflect habits of the ego or beliefs of the not-so conscious mind.
Higher frequencies of energy often intensify emotional circumstances, known as drama. By observing and recognizing that a part of the self seeks involvement with drama, we move out of it more quickly. The universe actually serves us in this sense. It’s helpful to notice feelings accompanying circumstances that don’t feel good or result in a loss of energy. We can see it as part of awakening, for our habits teach us what we need to change.
Misconceptions continue to exist in the “funny, not-so-funny” way of refusing to see how we create what we don’t want. A thousand fearful phrases are repeated mentally and/or emotionally with every problem. By observing the energy or feeling around a problem, we begin to change it through this small step. Admitting our participation in a problem is an even more powerful way to find the solution. Since it’s impossible to know how the solution feels or looks — without having experienced the answer — it’s helpful to ask how it would feel or look. This act engages our curiosity, breaking the repetition of the subconscious mind. And the universe always answers, particularly when we’re persistent.
Increased Intuition
The new light brings increased intuition to almost everyone. We may not feel completely aware of it, but light connects everyone in the most surprising manner. Our emotions may change in the presence of a friend. We may feel sudden anger or joy. It’s possible to feel sadness or fear while shopping at the grocery store or experience a feeling of malaise at the doctor’s office. Any consistent intuitive information teaches us about how we tap into others, for we must have a common thread of shared emotion or thought.
Intuitive exchange can show us what and who to avoid or where to change our emotions and thoughts. (When I first heard the thoughts of many people, the dialog was very negative. As I learned to lift my thoughts, I heard less of it except on “tired days.”) It’s a learning experience about raising our vibrations, changing our physical activities and the focus of our minds.
It’s important to refrain from judgment when reading the thoughts of others. People awaken on a time schedule dictated by the universe; it’s not up to us. (Most of us find challenges in our own lives.) We can send energy or hold a perfect picture of others with a happier, better life.
Tiredness
The light often brings tiredness to seekers because the physical body alters in the presence of higher frequency. It takes time to adjust to the frequency. Also, our higher consciousness immediately begins to weave a new life. Many of the particles of energy in our current life spin faster and move into the wave of a new creation. This process takes part of our energy so we rest and reflect more. We also refine our interests, with emphasis on activities that create more energy in life. We may find a walk more rewarding (energy-wise) than a conversation on the phone or another busy task at home or work. Or conversely, the task or conversation may be the answer – it’s a learning process about loving ourselves.
Inner Work
It’s chaotic in the outer world, and it takes consistency to keep a positive attitude and stay focused on inner work. When negative events occur, it’s important to send light to the events and the people involved. But it’s also necessary to stay focused on our inner work, or positive change in outer world will take much longer.
Renewal of Hope
The biggest and best change of the new energy is the renewal of hope. Real hope comes from bringing dreams to life in a way of accordance with the soul. They rarely jump into form without revision, patience and love, but dreams keep us alive.
They ignite our passion. When we share the fruit of our dreams, it benefits the world. We share our love for life in a way that no one else can. We all have dreams and desires that we shut away in the past; yet they are the substance of the soul, the fire that makes us come to life and gives hope to the world. We can begin today by imagining the reality in which we would like to live and by feeding the image with positive thoughts.
The completion of a heart-felt desire brings light to many people because we connect to a larger part of the universe, known as the quantum field. The connection is necessary to bring about change — and a miracle is a miracle, whether it takes a day or year. Feats of accomplishment, healing, harmony and love all belong in this sphere.
Whatever your dream may be, take time to realize its value, for the universe likely planted the seed. Reflect on the world’s goodness and beauty. We amplify the objects of our focus so let’s choose wisely.
