We seem to be at a time of stand still at the current time;
there is a sense of waiting, watching and waiting. Although the anticipation
feels positive, there is also a deeper sense of uncertainty weaving its way
through our unconsciousness; it is as though we are preparing for a new
beginning and whilst we know that such a journey is destined and inevitable, we
are, as yet, unable to discern exactly what this means in terms of what happens
next.
There is no denying that this is a time of great change, for
everything that once seemed so important now seems almost obsolete and
outmoded, but at the same time, it is hard to grasp the flow of these changes for
they feel intangible and unknowable. Of course, this is the point, for to step
fully into the flow means letting go of linear thought and opening up to wave
upon wave of new consciousness, but as human beings, we can find it hard to let
go of the desire to understand and rationalise our experiences.
Standing still may feel unproductive for some for it
presents an image of non-movement and a lack of change, yet it is only by
standing still that we realise we are in a state of constant movement and
change, for movement is not only about our physical existence and experience,
it is also energetic and spiritual at the same time. When we step beyond linear
thought and open up to the true expansiveness of the Universe and realise that
we are part of the Universal Flow of energy that creates the Whole, our need to
understand diminishes as we gain a sense of knowing and trust that all is well.
Of course, for many it is hard to trust this flow for life
feels like a relentless train of things to do, people to see and places to go.
Such challenges and responsibilities turn into chains that we drag behind us
which hinder and deplete us, drain and diminish us. Yet, if we have the courage
to step beyond both the mind and linear thought we can see that these chains
are there because we choose for them to be there; they are not enforced upon
us. Such a realisation is important, for it shifts the vibration and the
dynamic of our lives from a space of burden and duty to a more expansive
vibration of possibilities and expectations.
So, as we continue to stand still we should celebrate this
pause time to remember all that we are and acknowledge that we are all creators
and divine sparks. Being human can find us splashing about in the depths,
struggling to keep our heads above water, as we try to keep on keeping on, for
our beliefs shape and define our reality on so many levels. Our expectations
and storylines create our existence for we radiate a vibration that we perceive
to be our reality, and this vibration reaches deeply into every level and every
cell of our Beings.
Yet, when we lean into the pause, we realise the daily rush
and chatter that shapes our world doesn’t have to be what defines us anymore,
for once we awaken and acknowledge that the rush and chatter are present
because we allow them to be, we can begin to create a new vibration of
stillness that brings us far more clarity, vision and strength. In other words,
we step beyond linear thought and open up to living more consciously and
vibrantly in the present moment.
Present moment awareness is not a new concept, but so many
of us forget it when life gets challenging or busy, empty or overloaded. The
‘things to do’ overtake that deep sense of inner knowing that we all have, but
when we pause in the moment and shift from reaction to a more responsive and
expansive state of being, we intuitively know that our Truth, our power and our
divinity can never be taken away or diminished unless we choose for it to be.
So, whilst we may be standing still, pausing in the moment,
it is important not to see this as a waiting time, for that suggests a time of
disempowerment; instead we should see it as a valuable time to coalesce and
re-align, for this will help us to prepare to step willingly, consciously and
whole-heartedly towards being fully conscious and awake...
