Life Cycles: Growth and Change

We are all aware that there is a cycle of growth and change, but we typically do not pay a lot of attention to where we may be within the cycle. The result is that we are not in sync; we are out of rhythm with ourselves, our lives and with the natural timing of all the cycles of which we are a part.

If we pay attention to this natural process and where we are within it, we can become more efficient, patient, and remain healthier as we cut down on frustration and pushing rocks up hills.

Becoming Aware of the Creative Cycle

1.  When you are thinking about creating something new in your life, do you treat it as a creative process and consciously use stage-appropriate methods and tools?

 2. How would your response to change and transitioning from one phase of life to another be different if you honored these cycles within your life?

3.  How would your approach to consciously creating your life change if you incorporated awareness about the stage you were in?

4.  Do you nurture creativity in general in your life?

In the next post we will explore some questions that can take you deeper into looking at how you can approach life with more creative awareness. These more specific questions can help you to gain a deeper insight into your patterns.

What is 2012 about? Change. Lots of it. It is already happening actually and will continue on past the touted date of 12/21/12. So what does it mean for humanity? What does it mean for you? How will you be challenged? How can you rise to the challenges? As we move toward 2012 it is helpful to understand the great transition that is underway and know what is required to rise to these challenges.

Join Peg Donahue, Karen Kallie and Tony Pace for this lively discussion.

Whenever we are wishing for something to be different from what it is, we are energetically holding it in our lives.

In our culture the word surrender is loaded with negative connotations, such as giving up, wimping out, being weak, unable to cut it. However, surrender in the context that we are using it is a deep feeling of letting go of struggle and conflict: it is about accepting what is in the moment, not fighting it – accepting the reality even as we seek to see what can be done to change or move beyond it.

 Surrender helps to bring your heart into coherence through the inner peace and calm it generates. To truly surrender we need to let go of wanting, yearning, wishing, needing and directing. When we are in these states, our focus is on what we feel we don’t have. We are in a vibration of lack or scarcity. Sometimes we become stuck and even paralyzed by these feelings.

Since our energy reflects our inner state, it is stuck, paralyzed, not moving, so it holds us in place rather than moving freely so it can be channeled in a stronger, more positive direction.

 When our focus is on what is missing from our lives, we create more of what we feel we don’t have. We create more of what is missing. Developing an attitude of acceptance – acceptance of the way things ARE – enables you to move beyond patterns of resistance and bring peace to your heart. Acceptance does not mean that something or someone is right or wrong. Acceptance is acknowledging things just the way they are now. It’s just allowing them to be, without judgment. Judgments tear at our energy and do us much more harm than the person, place or thing that we are judging.

Our true power is in Being … not in mere intellectual thought. This is an important key concept for creating. We have said before that conceptual knowledge is not enough to turn desire into reality; intellectual understanding is only the first step to conscious creation. The most powerful tools and techniques for the materialization of our thoughts are those that move us into a state of BEING that matches what we desire to create.

In Chapter 8 of 12 Keys we explore methods that help you to do just that: take energy from the realm of thought and transform it – through feeling – into the world of manifestation.

Using these methods and developing the qualities discussed will help you enhance your creative power and expand your self mastery. When we are in harmony with the universe, creation flows as a natural result. The mind “laser focuses” as we master the challenge of energetically bringing our heart and mind into alignment and harmony with the higher frequencies of creative power.

Coherence of our energy is an important factor in health, well-being and conscious creation. The topics covered in this session are significant, as they promote coherence and whole body integration … a peaceful blending of body, mind and spirit.

 The Impact of Thought and Emotion

Thoughts, emotions and feelings of all types are a major part of our human experience. They (along with free will and judgment) differentiate us from animals and other life forms.

As humans, we have a wide range of emotions. We are meant to feel. If we are to be healthy, fully express our authentic nature and bring the best of our selves to the world, then we must know how to let emotions move fluidly and easily through our systems and not repress them or get stuck in them!

 Knowing how to work positively with all our emotions builds our energy and helps us move more rapidly and simply toward the lives we desire. We hold memory all throughout our body-mind … no experience escapes our notice. Our life experience is imprinted through our energy and nervous system into our biochemistry and into the cells and organs of our body.

Thoughts and feelings affect the energy throughout all our systems, but perhaps most important is how they connect deeply in the heart and help shape our experience of the world. Our thoughts and feelings are two primary ways we manage our energy, but they don’t necessarily always work in unison. We are very capable of thinking one thing and feeling another. We can “know” something in our mind and experience it a totally different way in our heart and body.

 Cellular memory is imprinted more through how we feel about something than through how we think about it or how we rationalize it. As a result, we have the feeling police deep inside: the body knows your truth! This is why it is so critical to clear the patterns and beliefs of the past – not because we are bad or have sinned and need to set our records straight, but because through our lack of knowledge and awareness, we have created obstacles that block our health, well being and happiness.

Next : Understanding Surrender and Acceptance

 Using tools that clear, balance and strengthen your personal energy will help ensure that your energetic requests are ones that you want to show up in your life.

 In spite of having a great deal of knowledge regarding the topic of conscious creation, many people still have difficulty making the process work for them. This can lead to discouragement or to abandonment of the process altogether.

One reason for the difficulties in learning how to consciously create is that navigating the inner landscape and the world of energy requires different attitudes, approaches, and tools than does navigating the exterior world. Another is that it generally takes time to learn and integrate new ways of being. It is possible to have huge shifts in no time at all, but most of us will probably need some degree of persistence, patience and perseverance as we adopt new attitudes, methods and world views. It took time to form the patterns you now have, so it may take time to shift into new patterns and frequencies and sustain them. Soon enough the new patterns and frequencies will become Self reinforcing, especially if you adopt a light playful attitude.

 The specific approaches we cover in Session 5 of 12 Keys to Life and Self Mastery help you to move beyond some of the common pitfalls to co-creating in your life.

 You will learn how to:

• Effectively affirm and support your truest desires
• Identify the hidden dynamics that block your desires
• Set intentions that universal energy can readily respond to
• Discern between willingness and willpower; shift to ease in creation

From 12 Keys for Life and Self Mastery: Chapter 1

Physics, Life and Conscious Creation

The following quote is one that provides some understanding

 of the territory we need to navigate in order to live

as more fully empowered citizens of the universe, using

and managing energy to its maximum benefit in our world.

Dr. Stuart Hammeroff, Director of Consciousness

Studies, at the University of Arizona says:

“The universe seems to be very strange. There seem to be

 two sets of laws that govern the universe. In our everyday,

classical world, meaning at roughly our size and time scales,

things are described by Newton’s laws of motion set down

 hundreds and hundreds of years ago. However, when we

get down to a small scale, to the level of atoms, a different

set of laws takes over. These are the Quantum Laws.”

Classical Physics explains how things work from a

logical, linear perspective. This is useful in our everyday lives

in a variety of ways. However when it comes to energy,

consciousness and creating our personal reality, Quantum

Physics and its principles are more useful.

It is important to realize, though, that we have all been

acculturated within the framework of Classical Physics;

so when we try to move into new territory and our minds

are given new information, we may run smack into subtle

aspects of the mind that BELIEVE AND FEEL in a

deterministic, linear and predictable way.

You may want to accept an exciting new belief and way

 of approaching life, but the mind may hold on to a

 felt sense of the old way of seeing the world. This is one reason

 why it is important to incorporate techniques that allow you to

inspect the contents of your mind in order to be able to

have a clear playing field as you learn to adopt new ways of being.

Our thanks to Maureen Campaiola for inviting us to join her on her radio show The Dare Hour on Monday night (1-18-10). Maureen is a Business Coach and so she was curious about how Living Energy could be helpful to her clients.

The topic areas we discussed were:

1. Harnessing the energy of the hidden desires behind your goals
2. Inner visioning target your goals and support your progress
3. Shifting your energy to increase cash flow
4. Energetic blocks to your success

Specifics aside, the main point to keep in mind whether looking at business or any other target area for your goals is that you are an energetic being and your personal energy is going to affect every aspect of your lifes.

That being the case, it serves us well to understand how energy operates, to know what’s up with our own energy field and to learn how to maximize its strength.  Through this process we become more successful in creating what we DO want in and for our lives, businesses and relationships instead of allowing this powerful resource (personal energy) to operate in a default pattern that does not support, enhance and nourish us and our dreams.
