Shifting Beyond a Balanced World

A close friend of mine was talking to me the other day about a change in consciousness. A change in global consciousness. They explained to me that this is a change in thinking and being, within us all and the world around us. It can be seen as a rebalancing of both the physical and metaphysical realms...a new reality which refocuses us on who we really are and why we are here. Quite deep stuff..

Recently in Christchurch, reiki has been used to help many people to overcome the mental trauma experienced following the earthquakes. It is a skill that we all possess within us and that is gaining in popularity. Whilst there remain many skeptics, there are clear benefits that arise for those practicing, and those receiving reiki. One of the simplest of these is rebalancing - reiki results in a meditative state of being that helps people to rest at both the physical and mental level. It also touches the metaphysical or spiritual level within us.

Last week, in addition to a weekly reiki learning session I also had some personal coaching, part of a five session coaching programme. Put these two things (reiki and personal coaching) together and boy, does your mind go into a spin. Last week felt as though my mind had been picked up and placed (carefully) into a soft bag and then thrown up in the air as my reiki master and coach (two separate people) had some fun playing catch with it. I was thrown completely off balance, into a state of chaos and confusion that saw me stop dead. All my beliefs, my work and past experiences were shaken out of me and I was left in quite an uncomfortable state, and I knew there was no going back.

Then I had a further coaching session and well, this was fascinating. In the space of two hours I suddenly realized that my consciousness had been shifted. I mean really shifted. My whole being had changed. I felt fresh, new, free and at peace with myself.

I had gone from a fairly stable state, into a state of utter confusion and chaos and then into serenity.

This was fascinating because without that state of chaos and confusion, I would never have shifted from the stability that had existed .. my soul and my mind had been given a massive shake and kick to shift forward, beyond my previous state. I had created an environment and series of events (reiki and coaching) which would literally shift me forwards on the journey of self actualisation. I needed that shift.

The world is no different in my mind. The planet is in a state of constant motion and this includes periods of sudden shift, when the world feels the need to move or change. And then, as the saying goes there is always calm after the storm.

So if you feel like you could be spinning your wheels or stuck in old patterns, find a way to shake up your old thoughts and belief patterns - and see what happens ... but hey, please make sure you have someone guiding you through the chaos. There has never been a better time for reflection, particularly if a new wave of consciousness is indeed occurring.

Until next time.
Namaste

Fear

It challenges us all. We all face up to it. We all tackle it. We all shy away from it. More important than that is how we face up to ourselves. Being honest with yourself is not as easy as it sounds, and it is often the cause of significant angst and negativity. It is always easier to blame someone else...rather than be honest about what we have committed ourselves to doing. Trouble is, it is a slippery slope!So, maybe the answer is to yield - to accept ourselves for who we are, and act accordingly. We make mistakes, we make the wrong decisions - the important thing is to be totally honest with ourselves and others and accept that sometimes, we have to admit that we have taken a wrong turn or made the wrong decision. Hiding from that is not good, it cuts across our ability to love ourselves for who we are.

The simple things

It is Easter and I am sitting in the Old Post Office B & B in Paparoa, a village of a few thousand (max) people in the heart of the Kaipara District of New Zealand. It is quiet, there is a full moon, and Amelie my 3 year old princess has just run into the sitting room and said N Niiiight, kissed me on the cheek, given me a hug and bounced off to her bedroom for a story ... She gets distracted by the pieces on a chess board as she goes, 'this one here, that one there' .... Ammeeeliiee, her mum calls - oh oh she says and toddles off to hear the story. There is a clock ticking close by, the lighting in the sitting room is soft, it is peaceful. How lucky to be here - how lucky to have the simple things in life laid out before me, no hassle, no complexity, no need to think, no need to relax, I can just be. We do make our lives complicated sometimes don't we - more often than not because we desire or want something, or someone to do what we want them to do, or maybe thi...

Call me a cynic, but are we all being fooled?

As the 21st century continues on it’s merry way, life and how we live it continues to change. The rich are now obscenely so, and we ask ourselves ‘who really needs to be a billionaire’? The corporate juggernaut Goliath barrels its way along the highway, smashing any who look anything like David with his slingshot, worried of the impact on their mission for global domination. The average wage for the average Joe Worker doing a 40 hour week, (packing more in now than ever before thanks to the wonders of the internet) is not a lot. We travel faster, we receive information and send information.. faster, we do more in less time. Is the average Joe Worker better off for living the dream and buying their first car, or saving for their first house with all the furniture and trimmings…(noting the fact that it is likely that a significant proportion of their deposit will come from their parents, who now provide some 40% of the lending to newbie owners).. The issue isn’t just confined to families...
