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.
