Last night I was attending a teleseminar course with Peggy Mccoll - a truly generous and gifted woman. I had hummed and hawed about signing up for the course- aferall what was i doing spending money when the economy is in such dire straits- could i really afford to do this..As I quieted myself I heard the following words "Dont panic about it- just take a breath!" So i got up and made a cup of tea ( i am english afteerall- and some habits are worth holding onto!!) Hot mug of tea in hand another question came to me- Can I really afford not to....Take a deep breath and take the plunge!
As I sat listening to her lightening struck in my own being. I heard her say that no one ever gets to where they are alone- no one ever becomes successful without the help of others. Sounds pretty basic right, i know, but in truth i am not sure that many of us actually realize that we are in this world, this current situation together.
In the current consensual reality where we are all told on a daily basis that we "struggling', every where we look there is signifcant evidence that there is not enough..that business are going under, that we are in a state of emergency and survival.... its hard to imgaine that there can be anything different...
As you read this.....
Take a moment to - feel it in your own body- Do you feel yourself start to tighten, yor chest, your jaw, your lower back or belly? Do you start to hold your breath? Do you feel your body contract- or close down a little? When we are told that there is danger, or that there is not enough- we all naturally start to contract into a state of FEAR. When we are in a state of fear we separate out- we start to see ourselves in a world where
I am making a direct invitation to you- What if there is enough? What if we see that this current contraction we are in is simply an invitation to Not panic and Just BREATHE and live into other possiblities-
What if the greatest challenge we have right now is to realize that "We are all in this together!" That we are all connected- that the thoughts we are collectively thinking are ones that we can also collectively change- Imagine - what would happen if we all right this moment decided, that despite the numbers and figures that we are being given - we choose to know that there is enough for all of us. How would you change the way that you are moving through your day? Would you breathe more easily? Would you be a nicer person to yourself? Would you be a happier, Would you enjoy more...would be more creative and successful? Would you take more risks? Would you say yes more often? Probably you would right?
You know how when you start to think about something- the universe (collective field!) has this way of just reflecting it back to us from everywhere? Well this last week as i have been serioulsy considering how we can all "Help One Another" I have been listening and working with clients on the very same isseus:
Sounds really basic right- we all have to ask for help, support, guidance, direction, feedback, advice- Well it is basic only for many of us asking for help is not somethng that we think we can do, belive that we will receive, or in some cases think we are worthy of.
Right now i think that we are collectively in a massive growth cycle- we are being asked to deal with the changing economy- a changing world- as the internet grows in its capacity- technology is changing our lives at a faster and faster rate- we are literally being catapaulted into a planetary collecitve relationship- This is the age of information- But really isee it as the Age of Interelatedness- We are getting to see the immense power of relationship- and it is in recognizing this that we will learn how best to embrace this new world we are living in.
So in the spirit of this i invite all of you to take a moment to recognize that we are all connected and that our decesions be based on what is in the highest good for us all- I know that supporting you is the way that i will gain support....!
