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

Christmas & Looking Forwards

Happy Christmas to those who have arrived here to read this post. The world and the media remind us often that Christmas is a time for giving, for compassion, for family, for celebrating Jesus and for receiving. It is also a time when we reflect on the past year - what has occurred and happened in our lives and where we have come. The New Year beckons and we begin to look forward to the positive changes that we desire, our aspirations and hopes for the future. We want to feel better in ourselves, and have an improved world with less stress, anxiety and suffering. Looking forwards is a powerful thing. It provides us with the ability to consider what may be, as we journey into the unknown. It enables us to work out where we would like things to go. In the animal kingdom, I expect we are one of very very few species that have this ability to look out over long periods of time. Other animals will look forwards I expect season by season, if that. They concentrate on the present. ...

The pace of life

As we begin the Christmas season around this beautiful world, a period of reflection often occurs. Christmas (for most of the western world) is a time when we think about the year gone by, and about how far we have come along the road, and then we turn to the new year and begin to think about how far we are going to go and what we are going to do with our time next year. We all live life at different paces, sometimes we move quickly, at other times more slowly. We each choose how fast we want to move, making decisions that alter our progress and that sometimes take us in different directions. Sometimes those decisions help us gather momentum, at other times we lose it. That got me to thinking about physics...I was never really any good at school physics, I think the highest exam mark I ever got was around 40% despite the attempts of some very good teachers!, and the lowest was somewhere in the teens ....now a few years on from school, the querky reality is how much physics i...

Pathways

The other day I found a piece of paper that I'd created with my best friend a few years ago, and it reminded me of how simple things are when we want them to be. We travel along our path, experiencing this and that - hearing and seeing this and that, and along that pathway we make decisions. Those decisions keep us moving, either in the same direction or in another. Like travelling along a road, we sometimes know our way, we recognise the road - it's a well travelled road as they say - we know where we are going because we have been there before. At other times we see signposts and respond to what they are telling us - we react to them and alter our direction based on what they say. At other times, we register signposts to give us confidence that we are on the right track, we experience 'deja vu' or coincidences we just get that intuitive feeling that we are moving in exactly the right direction. I think this simple little topic is going into my book. Have a gre...
