What is it that you really want then?

An interesting observation in recent weeks is how many of us choose to focus on what we don't want in our lives on a daily basis.  I've heard a lot of people, including myself, ease into the conversation of a situation in our lives that doesn't work for us any more.

The conversations range widely but what the common denominator in them all is where the focus is.  Instead of taking action to change and go after a solution, the energy seems to focused on what we don't want in our lives and how we don't want certain things or situations to continue.

The problem here is that the focus remains on the 'don't want' topic.  In relation to the Law of Attraction, it really doesn't discern whether you want or don't want an outcome...it simply gives you more of the stuff you've placed your energy and attention on.

Another area of observation for the last short while however is the amount of people 'surprised' about how happy they are!  They're feeling lighter, more in flow with their life and definitely unreservedly more 'happy'.  It catches them off guard completely.

Yet I wonder if they've just been implementing a very simple and natural rule but perhaps don't realise it.  Maybe they reached a tipping point where what they didn't want just finally made them stop what they were doing and take stock of their life.  Maybe they got tired of the same routine and found themselves going 'right, I've had enough and I'm doing what I want from now on'. 

Either way the shift that has occurred is clearly working for these individuals, and what is very interesting is that it isn't a phase.  They seem to be moving into this new way of asserting what they want in their life to happen so that it becomes a natural thing to do. 

So if you find yourself stuck in the mud still, maybe take a minute and ask yourself 'What is it that I really want right now?

You never know, you might just be surprised at what happens!

Energy Awareness

"We assumed that living in the Now meant living in a very calm and blissful state, and it does mean that – but until we get used to it it’s a bit like living without a watch after a lifetime of having one attached to your wrist. You don’t have your usual point of reference to anchor you. We are connecting to a new point of reference, an inner point. Until we get used to that, it can sometimes feel like we’re floating in a bubble not attached to anything in particular. This simultaneously feels really blissful and yet a little bit scary because we’re used to having anchors and attachments and something to hold our reality together. At first we may interpret it as ‘My brain has disappeared’, ‘I can’t focus or concentrate on anything’, ‘I can’t hold my thoughts together/string a sentence together’ and ‘Everything feels so vague and foggy’. This ‘no time’ business is like being an astronaut who has to get used to zero gravity – it’s cool but strange." This is a very powerful message that struck a cord with me very strongly, especially the bubble bit! There are many energies knocking about at the moment, and they're not all great. Keeping your own clear and understanding your own energy, can at least help you determine whether a change in energy is yours or an influx of energy from another source. To some this all might sound a little airy fairy, yet, deep down they do sense there is something 'off' and 'happening'...and can't argue that they do feel it. I have had a lot of conversations with people that wouldn't normally be open to alternative ways of seeing the world, and yet they're talking in terms of energy shifts! In light of all these changes it is good to keep yourself informed as much as possible. Sites that I have found very helpful over the years are www.mindfulhealing.org and the extract above can be found in it's full message on the site http://spiritlibrary.com/dana-mrkich/july-2012-monthly-visions-the-deconstruction-of-who-we-thought-ourselves-to-be by Dana Mrklich. Linda from the mindfulhealing site sends a wonderful newsletter to keep you informed on changes, which is what alerted me to Danas message, so it is well worth signing up for it. I just wanted to share this case anyone out there is feeling a tad off centre and wondering what is going on at the minute. The weather in Ireland is definitely an indicator of odd energy shifts, particularly in the strange temperature drops and heavy rain in July! Anyway, it's good to get a lot of perspectives on it all, then you can form your own opinion and get a sense of what is true for you in all this.
