What’s Next???

As this all began, I told my husband that I felt like we were living in a sci-fi movie.Now I’m sure of it. What’s next? Are you ready to switch to another movie?

Do you feel like you’re stuck in your seat, unable to leave, as we move into Fall and await the US election? I think it’s impossible not to wonder what direction and how this movie is going to unfold, not only in the US, but in the world.

In the US you probably have friends on both sides of the political spectrum. You may be horrified if your candidate doesn’t win. And you fear what will happen. It’s hard to “speak giraffe”, which I wrote about in the last blog, respectfully listening and speaking not attacking others, with our friends and family. As the election gets closer, we become more charged and anxious, forgetting our power. But it is so important not to forget to tap within and own our personal power, who we are. Fear and division create separation in ourselves (our self from our higher self, our light, our power) and others, taking us down a pathway that only can get uglier.

Wouldn’t it make sense to be for something rather than against the “other side”? When you’re against something you give it greater power. And, conversely, when you are for something you give it greater power. In the end, we are all in this together.

We’re so programmed and conditioned in our culture to be against someone. To do everything in our power to make sure there is a polarity of good and bad, right and wrong. Instead, recognize there are a variety of different points of view and ways of getting there. To be clear – I am not advocating violence. You can be for peace, and then choose what you can do as part of a solution instead of feeding into the division, fear, hate, and rage.

In this climate, there is the tendency to believe we have to be right, so it makes it almost impossible to “hear” the other’s points of view. If we really listened, we might find that we have more in common than is apparent. Is there a solution that may work for all? That may take some creative problem-solving. It’s absolutely easier said than done. However, I believe it is possible. I have witnessed this in conversations and groups and outcomes.

As the movie rolls on, it’ so, so, so very easy to amplify our feeling of lack of safety when we look at the outside reality. It does not take much to slide into fear, aloneness, depression, or to be truly frightened at times. Certainly, it’s even easier to feel despair or feel hopeless if you watch mainstream media regularly. It’s virtually impossible not to be seduced and draw in those emotions. I’m not, however, suggesting you hide your head in the sand.

What feels so vital at this time is to find the peace within so you can discern what is true for you and what you need to move forward. Discover that peace and understand how to find your way back to trust yourself. It’s time to pay attention to those little niggles, big gut feelings, that small voice whispering inside. Or to notice that tiny sense or pieces of information or synchronicities small and big that show up to let you know that you are on the right track. Hear the whisperings of your higher, wiser self.

As I am finding, and have found with clients and friends, finding that place inside makes making decisions easier. It’s during challenging times such as these when you must trust that you will know when you know. Your debating mind is a sign it isn’t time to make a decision or that emotions are clouding your ability to hear your own wisdom.

It’s hard for our human brain to believe we have it within us and that we affect the collective. We are deeply connected to Source, the Divine, your higher self -whatever you call that wisdom that doesn’t come from your mind but from your heart and inner knowing. We know our five senses only tell part of the story. As you have developed your intuition and sense of connection with yourself you know that you know before you actually know. When I say ‘actually know’ I’m referring to knowing what direction to move in with out a doubt. Then getting confirmation that your knowing was perfect.

At this moment, take a deep breathe and rise above to view the way as the giraffe does. See more of the whole picture. Drop from your head to your heart and come back to that place within. That peaceful place – remembering and knowing that we are connected and supported.  Although we may feel insignificant, finding your inner peace and inner balance affects what goes on in the outside world.

Speak up, make your choices with integrity, know you are supported, and are a positive influence in more ways than you know.

“When our “norm” gets turned on its head, we often address that imbalance by looking for something outside ourselves to either restore the peace, or to blame (yup, been there, done that!). But as powerful co-creators of our human experience, we must start by creating that which we most want to experience INSIDE of us before we can ever see it come to fruition externally. That means love starts inside. Peace starts inside. Hope, confidence, and trust start inside.” ~ Colette Baron Reid

Until the light comes on for the next movie trust you are supported and divinely connected and guided,
