Entering the Darkness....Shaping the New Earth

As our journey has officially begun into our new world, we begin the first of many periods of reflection. As nature cycles it allows us the necessary time out to go within, to journey to the inner depths of our souls. It only takes a moment to disconnect from the outer world spinning around us to tune into the quiet of our mind. During the darker days of winter, we are gifted with a few more of these quiet moments. It is in this darkness, in this valuable season of introspection and gratitude, that our greatest gifts can come, if we only allow them.


The gifts of introspection come when we can allow ourselves to touch our deepest desires and/or our greatest fears. Often it can be a challenge to identify what our deepest desires are; our minds run rampant with the desires of others and the expectations of the world around us. It can be equally challenging to touch our deepest fears, as we often unconsciously protect ourselves from touching the deeply painful wounds of our past and fears for the present and future. However challenging, touching these deep parts of ourselves can allow us to come into a greater place of wholeness, and to evolve into a more open and loving community of earth dwellers.


There are some practical pieces of advice that that have been practiced since the beginning of time. I share these with you today, my gift to you, as you journey into the darkness, I hope these practices can bring to light exactly what you need right now, for it is through the clarity brought on through gratitude, love and an optimistic outlook that our gifts are illuminated and our spirits can truly shine!


Practice Gratitude
Begin with a practice of appreciating what you already have in your life. It is the time of year to take stock of what you have in your life, clear out what you no longer need, and appreciate everything around you. We are infinitely supplied for, and our lives are already blessed beyond measure, no matter the seeming appearances. When we can connect to the blessings, we can start to shift our perspective to align with the New Earth. We are entering a time of limitless gratitude, a glorious time in our lives, when shifts in perspective will open up doors to new realities we never knew existed.

Believe in Yourself
You were given everything that you needed by God and the universal energies that created you to be infinitely successful in this lifetime. Every seeming obstacle is an opportunity to strengthen your spirit and develop your connection with the infinite source of supply that is the true source of our security. When your belief in yourself wavers, take a moment, close your eyes, and connect to the knowing that you are one with the universe that created you. Pray for strength to enter your life if you are weak, pray for insight if your mind is cloudy.

Open to Contradictions
As soon as you touch deep within yourself, you will discover that for everything you are there is another person who holds an opposite belief or attitude. This is the polar nature of our universe; every form of energy exists in relation to it’s opposing force. This means that in the moment you discover a truth, you must acknowledge it’s opposing viewpoint in order to fully grasp the total spectrum of your truth.
Following this pattern, as soon as you decide that you are opening to the strength of your spirit, you will also open to uncovering all the weaknesses of your character. Being open to contradictions means that when you open to one force of nature, you also open to it’s opposite energy. It is in these opposites that we can learn great lessons about ourselves. Learn to hold the opposing viewpoint of the other with peace and acceptance, even if it is in stark contrast to your own beliefs. It is in this holding of opposites that we can begin to transform our own rigidity and that of the world around us. Innovation is born out of walking the middle ground with comfort and ease.

Believe in All Others
Jesus Christ is a figure that we are surrounded with this time of year. Jesus was a human being who held a deep love and reverence for all other human beings, even those who chose to harm him. The book based on his teachings, the bible, teaches us to love our enemies, treat others as we would like to be treated and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We must first learn how to love the enemies within ourselves and learn to treat ourselves with love and respect. As we learn this, we can simultaneously practice with others. The transition that we are moving through into the Age of Aquarius is ushering us into a new way of living with one another. The waves of change have already begun, and we are directly responsible for the rate at which the planet will shift.
We must challenge ourselves to honor each other from a place of deep compassion and reverence. Allow the spirit of Jesus to inspire all of your communication. He challenges us to forgive our enemies. Anger and other defilements of the mind cloud our judgment and communication with others. When one’s mind is clear, it can align with the highest form of communication with ease at all times. Believe in your ability to hold a clear mind and speak with kind and compassionate speech and believe in the ability of your friends and family to do the same.
As we begin to transform the way that we communicate and support one another, the planet will begin to shift in tremendous waves, waves that will catapult us into very new, very happy places of being.

Stay Optimistic and Persevere
The issues that you work on for a lifetime are your greatest gifts, they are your greatest opportunities for joy and transformation. As you begin to view each obstacle that presents itself as an opportunity to improve and change your life for the better; your experiences will begin to shift.

Keep your spirit high through connecting to high frequency vibrations at every chance you get. Music is an excellent way to shift your vibration. Find the music that makes you feel good right now and play it loud – let your whole body feel it. As your body shifts into good-feelings your experience will begin to reflect this.

Trust in the simplicity and absolute nature of the law of attraction. What you think about, you bring into your experience in some form. Keep your thoughts focused on the positive aspects of all situations and the good in all people and you will begin to see your world shift.

It is the simple spiritual principles that we need align with when we are uncertain or unaware of what to do next. Challenge yourself to live with gratitude, find compassion and love for yourself and look for the best in all others. Focus on feeling good, and as you shift into this new vibration, your world will begin to shift, until slowly but surely, we will all be inhabiting this New Earth. The change starts within, so join me as we begin to transform our inner worlds to align with the qualities that we want to see in the world around us.
