A Time of Change
By Kimberley Jones
From a 'Light Circle' newsletter 2008:
I am happy to report that my time in Cuba was ultimately an enjoyable one. I arrived in Cuba at the tail end of Hurricane Ike which was quite an experience. Once the dramatic storms left the coast of Cuba I was able to track the path of the hurricane on CNN as it tore its way through the global epicentre of the petrochemical industry in Southern Texas. As major American financial institutions collapsed by the hour it was very clear that change was upon us all.
So here we are in the middle of what the media is terming 'financial crisis' & the 'credit crunch'. It is undeniable that some people are being affected in a very real & distressing way. My concern is that our human survival needs can bring up enough fear as it is without the media doing its bit to whip up even more. Fear of itself is just an emotion but one that when used to manipulate others can be destructive.
So how are you doing? How are you managing? Is it affecting you?
Whether you are being directly affected or not there is something valuable you can do which will actually help everyone & that is to not let the fear take over & to do what you can to process the fear while focussing on LOVE.
Most peoples' buttons can get pushed when it comes to money & providing for a family, understandably so. These natural concerns can however become crippling fears if we don't know how to do the following:
1
Notice your thoughts; notice what you are focussing on & how you are speaking to others about this financial situation. Are you spreading hope or fear? This is a clue to whether some fear energy has been stirred up in you. If it has that’s fine. No judgement, no criticism, it’s normal & natural & its just energy. However once it’s there you need to take action. Action to feel it, clear it & replace it with something of a higher vibration. This intention will transform it.
2
Keep breathing low down in your body & clearing any fear energy you are already feeling. Notice how the fear feels when it comes up for you.
Where is it in your body?
What does it feel like?
For example does it feel cold? Tight?
Is it a small feeling or a large feeling?
Just notice the feelings & gently breathe into them allowing them to be there & then to dissolve. The feelings sometimes get stronger just before they clear. It's OK to feel them. It is safe to feel what's there. You are safe.
3
Are you reading or watching all the fear-based reports in the media? This is often a sign of fear feeding fear so break the cycle for a while & avoid the news. Use mantras & affirmations to change your vibration so the fear energy can transform. Try practicing the following reassuring statements:
"I..(name)..am safe NOW",
"I..(name)..am provided for NOW".
“Everyone else is safe & provided for NOW.”
...and stop watching the news!
4
Spend as much time as possible daydreaming & visualising an abundant life for yourself & for others. Imagine a golden shower of wealth raining down over you from Source, flooding your energy fields with abundance. How does abundance FEEL to you? Focus on that feeling.
Affirm “I am wealthy & abundant NOW”
5
Notice 5 new things every day you are grateful for. Maybe start a daily 'gratitude journal' & write these things down. Such a simple process can have a transformational effect on your energy fields & your life. It will change your vibration which will attract new experiences into your life.
I felt a lot of fear when entering Cuba but I used some of the above tools to allow myself to relax into it, work through & clear the energy of that fear, some of which lingered even after we were all clearly safe &
enjoying the sunshine. It can hang around after the fact, this is normal. So be patient with yourself & know that every little thing you can do to send ripples of hope, abundance, gratitude & positivity through your own consciousness & energy field will also register in the collective consciousness & energy field, having an
effect on everyone.
Remember fear is not bad. It’s just energy, however if you want to engage creatively with your life it is important to understand that what you focus on grows & if you keep adding more fear to fear then that’s what you’ll have, more fear. So love yourself with all your feelings then decide how long you want to feel that way. Do you want to feel that way for a few days, weeks or years? Do you want to share that feeling with others so they feel the same way? Make your choice & know you can change things if you want to.
As well as inner work of course for many of us action is also required to handle the ‘credit crunch’ such as cutting back or reviewing what is actually important or necessary. This is a sensible & grounded approach which can sit naturally alongside your inner work of focussing on hope & abundance. If this sensible action involves significant change in your life then this too can be unsettling & bring up fear. Remember the above tools & remember you are safe. Change is a natural part of growth & life.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
If you sat on a cosmic council of beings who had the job of watching over the evolution of humans & helping them wake up to their true nature & essence, what would be the one thing that you might say corrupts & distorts that nature more than anything else? What appears to be the worst thing humans crave & admire the most & which keeps them from waking up?
Undoubtedly if I sat on that cosmic council I would answer that the desire for power over others has corrupted more than anything else, a power that controls & removes power from others, a power that disconnects humans from their true, original source of power.
So on this council a decision has to be made. What is it that is currently central to this misuse of power going on on Earth? What is the one card that if nudged would bring the whole house of cards tumbling down?
Money.
I can imagine the council now:
"Yes, let's seriously wobble the money system down there so humans have to start thinking creatively & cooperatively. They will have to reconnect with the earth below them & maybe grow their own food, help each other & reach out to each other. They will have to learn to appreciate what they already have & really value the little things. The financial fences that divide them will start to get a bit lower. It will be just the thing to get their attention & stir things up."
It is during the state of chaos that the most creative energy is available & the potential for
transformation is at its greatest.
The unfolding of the bigger human picture is something we are all playing a part in & are affected by. My own personal journey of waking up, becoming more conscious & starting to step into my true nature has been a bumpy one. Anything I was over-attached to has been challenged, anything that kept me from my true power had to go or be seriously wobbled to get my attention & it is exactly the same for the bigger picture & the waking up process for the collective consciousness.
I speak from experience when I say that the outcome is eventually worth all the change & uncertainty. One of my teachers once said that pain at these times often comes as a result of resisting what is. I've never forgotten that & even when it really looks bad & really hurts I try to remember that I am safe & to let go, relaxing into what is...even fear. Then it can move.
You are safe & you are good enough.
You have chosen to be here at a pivotal moment in the unfolding of human potential.
All these global changes are part of the old paradigms dying away.
You are becoming who you came here to be.
I am proud to share this journey with you.
