PART 1: Understanding the SHIFT
This world is a gloriously mysterious place, of which we know just a little bit about!
We are currently in the midst of undergoing a major planetary shift ...moving into a higher vibration,
exiting the paradigms of the Piscean Age and entering into the Aquarian Age. I sort of liken it to
the following analogy...when I was a kid growing up in Philly, my parents would take us for trips into
center city. On each visit there was always a construction site we would pass by. These sites would
have large wooden fences surrounding them, and at various points there would be these peep
holes that you could look through to see what was going on. We would look through one hole and
see a portion of what was going on directly in front of that hole, with limited peripheral vision. Then
we would move to the next hole and see another aspect. This continued until we looked through all
the holes, which then gave us separate points of view of this much larger picture that was being
explored. Now with the current planetary SHIFT the size of these holes is enlarging, affording us a
broader view, although still limited. With this SHIFT will be much dissolving of the old ways of
existing, to be replaced with the new ways of living.
Some responses will be: 1) to resist it completely... 2) to be hesitant to move forward...3) to
embrace it with open arms....4) or to fall somewhere in between. But the fact remains-- it is
happening. How we choose to respond will make the transition either very uncomfortable or
somewhat easier to handle.
What Will We be Likely to See?
Dissolving/Ending of Relationships that have reached their natural state of completion, which
no longer are serving the highest good of the individuals involved by staying together...have you
noticed in the last year or so, more couples you know splitting up? Ending long term relationships or
marriages? In part, I feel this is occurring so that each person can move forward in their personal
spiritual evolution to complete the path they have set for themselves when entering into this world.
Hanging onto relationships that don't work, which lack the co-operative nature of enhancing and
supporting each other's development will be more uncomfortable to maintain in the new energies.
People Relocating...more and more individuals, couples, and families are relocating to other
areas, at far away distances...some are unable to explain why they are moving or how they selected
the location, it is almost like some homing device is in place to get them where they need to be
during these transitional times. Many I know personally, both relatives and friends have been going
through this process over the past year.
Breaking Down of the Old World Order...the falling apart of long traditional seats of power,
where a few control the masses. People at grassroot levels are awakening to the fact that being
led down a path which is controlled by the "power forces", for the limited benefit of a few, isn't
going to continue to be accepted. Cooperation for the betterment of all humanity is the new energy.
There will be struggles as the old resists loosening their grip on power, but united cooperation will
prevail. Often there is such a great degree of chaos and upheaval, that people question that this is
really occuring...but think about it...does change emerge when things are going well and smoothly,
or is change born in the bowels of chaos which transforms that energy into order?
Increase in Natural Disasters...Mother Earth has been badly misaligned by us humans and she
is reaching her capacity of taking on this level of treatment. Much of what we have destroyed and
polluted needs to be corrected, this will occur through a purification process that purges the toxicity
we have embedded on the earth. We are definitely going to see more of this.
Back to Nature...our sense of spirituality is intricately interwoven with all that surrounds us. We
are not gods of this world who have a higher value than all other organisms and beings. We will
begin to reconnect with nature, to learn many life lessons. We will begin to recognize that we are all
in this together, in equal standing, each contributing in our own unique way to the betterment of life.
We all come from the ALL THAT IS and we all contain the energetic seed of ALL THAT IS, therefore
we will begin to incorporate this awareness from our soul level into our daily living. This will bring
about a respect and honoring of all that exists, as sacred and blessed. When we spend our time in
this state of awareness, we accelerate change, our vibrational rate increases, and everyone and
everything benefits.
Moving from Competition to Cooperation...the nature of competition naturally pits one against
the other...this has been an overall theme of the way we live...from our government, business,
education, etc. No realm of living has been exempt. As souls we are evolving beyond this to the
next higher step which is cooperative living...again bringing in the idea of respecting and honoring
all aspects, working for the greater development of all. Think about the energy of the 3rd
chakra--that of personal power, and the 4th chakra--that of unconditional love...that is what it is
symbolic of...moving from a 3rd dimension state of living on this planet to the higher vibrational rate
of the 4th dimension.
More Gifted Children Are Arriving...have you noticed the spiritual nature of the young children
these days? Spend a few hours with any 2-6 year old and you will be blown away by the light
energy they are giving off. I feel older, wiser souls are entering into the world at this time, in mass,
to bring their wisdom and compassion to assist in the changes. It is a beautiful thing to observe.
Listening More to Our Inner Voice...so what is our Inner Voice? It is our soul self speaking to us.
As children we had the natural capacity to easily connect, which like muscles that are not used,
began to atrophy, as it was conditioned out of us, replaced with the ever present voices of outer
authority. Eventually many of us placed more value on things we were told outside of ourselves, and
repeatedly questioned the Inner Voice's wisdom. This SHIFT will help us reconnect, to become
more clearly aligned with our soul self that has accumulated many, many lifetimes of wisdom and
knowledge from which we can draw.
Personal Releasing of the Old to Make Way for the New...in order to live within the newer,
lighter, higher vibrational patterns, we are required to let go of old patterns that are anchored in 3rd
dimension reality. So what exactly does this mean? It has many implications...old belief systems that
are not in sync with the newer energies need to be let go of... Think about what happens when we
place the north and south pole of two magnets toward each other.. they repel, are pushed apart...
that is somewhat like trying to take 3rd dimension beliefs into the 4th dimension, it simply will not
come together. It involves dissolving fears, letting go of all that does not serve the higher good.
This is a tall order, not one that can be accomplished overnight, and one that will require our
constant attention...to monitoring thoughts, beliefs, actions, etc
This also requires strengthening our immune systems...what are we putting into our bodies?
What is the foundational base of the foods we eat and the liquids we drink that are used to sustain
the physical body? We need to be placing the highest vibrational quality food/liquids into our
systems if we wish to be free of the ties of the cycle of toxicity leading to illness leading to
medications leading to more illness followed by more medication, etc
The detoxification process of releasing will be challenging but is unavoidable and a necessary
step in our evolution.
Accessing the Healer Within...we were born with the capacity to self-heal. When we go exploring
with our Inner Voice, we learn so much that will help us with this process. Information.. opportunities
... awareness... all will be within reach as our eyes become unveiled and our ears unplugged...these
are exciting times!
There are many more things I know I'm leaving out, but it is a starting point of things to consider and
to be aware of. As we do the work required, our bodies adjust to the new energy frequencies...this
is not an easy transition...this SHIFT can be downright painful and physically tiring at times, and can
last for several weeks to months. Just be aware that if you start to enter into this phase that when
you come out the other end of the tunnel, it will have been well worth the ride. Our assistance is
going to be needed by many who start the process later and/or are really struggling with the
challenges of the transition. As we move more into this SHIFT some of the items listed above will
greatly intensify...we need to be prepared, we have an integral supporting role to play.
