2012: Changes in Personal Direction

Our radio show topic for the month of March is change associated with the year 2012 and how each of us can prepare and move forward in positive and effective ways to support overall well-being. This week  we will be talking about how the coming changes are challenging individuals and how those challenges can be managed more effectively…with some grace and ease!

  During our March 1 program we talked in general about 2012 and many of the related myths.  Every aspect of the world is changing and we are all feeling it in different ways. How are the changes affecting you?  How are you feeling about your life in general? Are you feeling optimistic?  Do you feel you have some control over matters or are you feeling that whatever you do will not change anything?

Some of the topics we will be covering are: the various types of networks necessary for the care giver, matching the type of network with the stage of your “care giving journey”, the role that energy work can play in your self care and where to find a variety of networks to meet your needs.

World of  Subtle Energy Provides New Tools for Self Care

We all sense subtle energy, although we may not always realize it. People called clairvoyants are especially gifted with the ability to see subtle energy. And while it appears to be innate in them, the truth is we all possess this ability. It can be developed by anyone who takes the time to learn the skills necessary and to practice them.

 Most of us may not see subtle energy, but we do sense its existence and respond to it on a daily basis. Much of our language even speaks to our unconscious experience of energetic states and events. Think about: “I feel blue,” “My heart is heavy,” “I feel so empty,” “It’s like I’ve been knifed in the back,” “I feel so full of joy,” “My heart is glad.” These are statements that are actually descriptive of your energy at that moment.

 Biofeedback instruments show that the person who reports feeling blue is, in fact, emitting the frequency of energy our eye sees as blue. The person who reports feeling heavy or sad in the heart is actually experiencing a lower frequency of energy – one which is slower than that of joy or happiness. That person may also be experiencing a constriction of the flow of energy through the heart chakra area.

 Feelings Inform About Energy States

Emptiness is depletion or lack of energy; joy is a fullness of lighter, faster moving energy, and the knife in the back can be an experience of negative thought or emotional energy directed toward that person by another. When you understand the dynamics of energy, you have a deeper perspective and more options available to work with your whole being – thoughts, feelings, sensations and beliefs – in order to shift out of negative states more quickly. In addition, being able to sense and manage your subtle energy allows you to maximize your efforts to create change and attract new possibilities into your life.

  Most people wait for time or external circumstances to change for relief or resolution of their issues. Unfortunately this leaves you in a disempowered position AND it does nothing to erase the effect the negative emotion has on your system. Although a person may feel that the problem or emotional state has disappeared, what more typically happens is that it has been driven deeper into the system so that it is out of awareness but not necessarily out of range of affecting your future experience. To work on an energetic level with the totality of you – your mind, body and spirit – is a major step on the road to empowerment and one that goes beyond learning new ways to simply THINK about things. It helps remove obstacles to true emotional freedom and affords greater access to higher level functions such as creativity, intuition and spirituality.

“How do You Really Leave the Past Behind?”

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

Herman Hesse

The topic for our Monday, January 18th radio show is “How do You Really Leave the Past Behind?”  Eckhart Tolle in the Power of Now tells us that we need to be in the present to free ourselves of the past. Actually, we always ONLY live in the present.  We are never in the past nor are we ever in the future.  The past, however, does in many ways condition our lives. 

 Our experiences and beliefs over a lifetime are all factors that influence how we see the world, how we live our lives and how we react to situations.

 Our dilemma is that our past experiences and particularly the way we feel about them …are encoded in our nervous systems, in our very cell tissue and form default reactor patterns that are easily—and unconsciously triggered by people and events. The result is that we often react automatically from the past as it were and are not truly, freely in the present.  

 So what do we do? How do you let the past go?

 Come listen to our show and find out!

Mindfulness, a Way to Cultivate Love, Health and Happiness

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Great video on interaction of mind, experience and brain and the benefits of developing  mindfulness. Cultivating this state helps to improve  health, relationships, and the ability to learn and enjoy life. This video is focused on children but it has great wisdom for all of us!

Fear is a Vibration–You can Shift

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Fear in all its forms, doubt, anxiety, uncertainty, is a feeling–a vibration that you can shift.

We can work with our minds to shift our energy or we can work directly with our energy to shift our minds—both work but I find it simpler, more effective and efficient to go directly to working with the energy—fewer stories, less resistance to change  and it is going to the source!

To beginto work from the level of energy: Choose to center within yourself and ground your energy (see Articles and Tips elsewhere on this site for information regarding these two concepts). Once grounded you can more easily place your attention on thoughts and feelings that open and build energy.

 Open from the inside out and feel the miracle of your life force coursing through you. Once in touch with your inner energy in this way it becomes easier to place your mind (feeling and thought) on things that enliven, nourish and strengthen you. As you become stronger, lighter and brighter in your energy you can more easily connect to soul and flow with more joy, peace and love.

Good News for 2012?

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

 Early Accolades for “The Great Shift- Catalying a Second Renaissance”, by Dr Robin WoodIt feels very important that we all become aware of the many groups forming around the world who are focused on addressing the challenges before humanity in a positive, life enhancing way.

 “We will have a WorldShift sooner or later, and more than likely by the end of 2012.  This is our current window in time.  Robin Wood’s ideas for a Second Reconnaissance  - this time a global, and holistic rebirth and not only a European socio-cultural one –  are a precious compass for helping us make the coming worldshift into a shift to a new and vital human civilization: an upshift to evolution, rather than a downshift to extinction.”

Each one of us on the planet is a part of the evolving social organism that is immersed in a great transition. The more we ‘go non-linear’ and develop our higher level human functions, the easier the stress of change will be and the more we can each open to our own creativity and offer something of value in our own corner of the world.
