The Energy of Boundaries and Authenticity

Awake Friends,

Feel free to pass on, to your like-minded friends. Don't miss upcoming meditations and classes listed at the end of this newsletter.

http://www.awakeinjoy.com/classes.html

The process of giving birth to higher consciousness is continuing to “work” us all. One cannot escape this process; it is a passage we all must take. Birth is painful and can be messy, but it is always magnificent. Just get out your cosmic surfboard and ride the waves, seeing clearly where you are going and knowing that you will get there.

We have entered an energetic chaotic node that is about boundaries and authenticity. What has been hidden is now being seen. Those who are not conscious are unknowingly pushing and grasping to hold on. What is no longer working is now falling apart. Thus, we are being called to authentically set boundaries. It is time for the feminine on the planet to allow herself to receive. This is exactly what Mother Earth is doing with her shaking and quaking. She is demanding respect; she is demanding to be honored. Boundaries must be set on the collective level by beginning with the personal. The outer is merely a reflection of the inner. To create true and lasting change we must first clear the inner weeds. It is time that we take full responsibility for what we personally put out into the universe. For every action there is a re-action. A pebble cannot be thrown into the pond without creating a ripple effect.

The energy of this chaotic node is creating fear. Those who are unconscious are only thinking of themselves right now. Big business is only thinking of the bottom line. This is just good to know. It makes it essential for you to set your personal boundaries. You are the only one who can take care of you. When you set limits from your heart without attacking it is in everyone’s highest and best good.

Set boundaries in how others treat you, boundaries in how you treat others, and boundaries with your energy, your time, your self-care, your health, your care and respect of the environment. You will notice how new boundaries may need to be set with clients, co-workers, friends, family, and the kids. Say “ no” when you want and need to and be authentic enough to speak your truth. By saying “no” ask yourself, what am I saying “yes” to?

As you evolve along this spiral of higher consciousness, your light draws others in. Lightworkers at times can feel like magnets. It is exhausting if you are not using your tools. It is up to you to set boundaries so that you have something left for yourself. You know that when you are on an airplane you must put the oxygen mask on yourself first, and then you can care for those next to you. You are the pilot. You must take care of yourself first so that you can fly. Your purpose is to hold your light, which is your gift to the universe.

When you go to a place that feels dark, and you will, we are in duality. Know that the deeper you go the higher you can go. Everything is yin and yang. Remember this when you are “in the well”, that place of deep sadness, anger, or fear. It may last for an hour, a day, or a period of time, but you can change the way you are looking at it. You have gone down to this level to deepen the learning, to release, and to heal. Look at what is coming up for you. See what has been hidden in your shadow. By becoming aware of it you are transforming it to the golden shadow. What you are aware of, you can shift. Support your energetic being by aligning with the natural cycles of life. What goes up must come down. That is nature and you are part of nature. A seed grows into a flower and falls to the ground to create anew. The tree naturally drops its leaves at the end of a season. The snake sheds its skin. This is actually done in one big move. The snake just slides out of the old as if it were an outdated outfit. We have that same ability but we have forgotten how to use it. Honor and align with the natural cycles and patterns of nature; align with the moon, sun, animals, plants, stones, Mother Earth and Father Sky. By doing so, you will align with who you are and the universe will conspire on your behalf.

In Lak’ech, (I am another you, you are another me)

Everyone’s Talking About the Shift

by Navya LaShay

Well by now most of you have heard something about the shift that is taking place. Whether you are into 2012 or not, many teachers of many belief systems feel something is up. A lot of people are hopeful and at the same time feeling fear about the changes going on in the world. I am included in that group. Hopeful that the old structures fall away and sometimes fearful of the unknown.

What does this shift mean to you (or to me), on a day- to- day basis?

You each will decide, moment to moment and that indeed is all we have.

My view is that each day, each moment I awaken to a greater degree, the whole collective does too! I believe we are all connected in a sense we are all one and at the same time individuals living our lives.

What to do? Pay attention to your Patterns, things/people that push your buttons, and become more conscious of them. Noticing helps you change things. No pressure, just start noticing. Make a mental note “here I go again, can I make a different choice this time?” As each one of us becomes more aware, we shift and so on and so on with the rest of humanity.

Let’s stop the blame game and look at ourselves truthfully, with love and courage. You can do it brave souls!

We are all in this together.

Om Namah Shivaya,
