Has the world gone crazy??

Not long ago, I did 24 ten minute readings for the Higher Self "Fair" and I was astounded by the repetitive theme that was apparent:  Letting go. It would seem that our suspicions have been confirmed if you look at the theme from that day; the world as we know it is changing.  People are changing and thus the world that those people have created is changing too! 

What might that look like for you though? Well, for starters, you might be experiencing new or increased conflict in your relationships…what used to either flow easily or be tolerable to some degree just isn't any longer.  People tend to fit with other people like puzzle pieces because we all draw to us certain relationships and dynamics based on things going on within ourselves, so when something changes in us, how we view things change.  And these changes can be overwhelming and seem rather random, but trust me…they are not random at all!

If you define "crazy" as being urged to resolve conflict by being in the midst of it, yes, I think that the world has gone crazy!  But the good news is that YOU don't have to! There's a lot of things changing in our world these days, from the economy to the increase in natural "disasters".  So the changes we are seeing are happening on many levels, not just in society but in many people in general.  People are starting to find themselves faced with decisions that take them outside of their comfort zone, especially those who are challenged by a shortage of work.  Things that have allowed people to maintain certain illusions of security are beginning to be stripped away and many people are starting to freak out!

At first, when security was threatened, many people convinced themselves that it was temporary and that things wouldn't get too bad, but when things didn't start turning around, panic started setting in.  What we are noticing now, more than ever in my opinion, is that people are practically stepping over those they care about almost in a knee-jerk reaction to the fear that they were able to keep at bay when their illusions were in tact. "What do I care about now?  What do I do?"  Now people are having to change their focus and rethink plans and priorities.  Now people, when they were normally calmer and fairly even-tempered, are finding themselves arguing with people and engaging in different kinds of power-struggles, all in an unconscious attempt to regain a sense of security (and often sanity).  But the good news is that if you are one of the people who had begun rethinking life's purpose prior to some of these more drastic changes, you are likely moving forward with a lot less stress and fear than those around you.

We know that change is often very positive, but that doesn't mean that it's not scary.  And the conflicts that arise between you and your friends and/or family are giving you some opportunities to get in touch with your authentic self and make new choices about who you want to be.  Do you remember that part of you?  The authentic you?  The part of you that remembers flow and knows only love and security?  That part of you is still there, and you might want to schedule in some "me time" to reconnect with it more regularly and consistently.

The conflicts are not always about you and me, especially if we are not feeling drawn to engaging with it…so know where you are at with this stuff as it comes up and don't try to own it all.  People are readjusting to a bunch of new energy and the old energy, although it was of a lower vibration, feels a bit more comfortable because it is familiar.  Remember to breathe…in….and….out…slowly.  Ground yourself. Take the conflict, when you notice it, and evaluate your emotions about it.  If you feel like the conflict is bringing out a part of you that you thought you let go of way back when, consider the possibility that the rest of the energy behind the old 'you' is trying to leave!  Don't hold onto it by resisting it, just be with it, bless it and give it permission to be what it is and SET IT FREE with love.  When you do this, you will likely see that some people in your life are not aligned to your NEW TRUTH…and that some of those people are going to need to be given a new role in your life, while some you will set free along with the old energy.  It is not bad, so try to welcome the shift and keep focused on what spaces you are opening up for new people in your life who are aligned with your new truth. 

Now is the time for you to be who you have aspired to be, so practice upholding your integrity and your truth.  Hold people accountable when necessary but don't engage needlessly in conflict and for Heaven's sake, pay enough attention so as to not get SUCKED IN to other people's drama.  (There's an abundance of drama available out there for those who are interested, LOL). Say your piece and stand your ground, just long enough to say "done", without having to insist that the entire world changes to meet your ideas right here and now (you could be waiting a very long time for that part).  You don't need it.  You can start to be at peace with yourself as you move through self-discovery by understanding that you have every option to choose your experience in these changes without having to change everything about the experience outside of yourself.

• Get in touch with your "authentic self"
• Notice how you feel about the conflict around you
• Allow others to be where they are at, even if you have to let them go
• Remember that the 'old you' served you well, bless it and set it free if it shows up again
• Keep focused on how you want to respond to what goes on around you, instead of control it all
• Breathe!

This is an exciting time for everyone, if you can see it from a higher perspective!  Hang in there and know that we are moving into a more abundant, peaceful, and loving space…
