The end of 2013 has particularly heavy for a lot of people. If you are feeling weighed down, despondent, broadsided, or alone, please know that it isn’t just you.
The theme for 2014 is about personal responsibility. In order to move into a space where we are allowing those around us to take responsibility for their own lives, we need to stop processing for them. The transition from one paradigm to the other may mean having to get fed up with how we’ve been doing things, or even fed up with those around us, so that we stop usurping their responsibility.
The good news is that, once we have stopped making ourselves responsible for others, and allow them to have their own process, we are fully empowered to take out gifts and our skills out into the community, empowered and radiant.
Those who have chosen to be lightworkers, in all of your various forms, will complete this process, most likely in the first quarter of the coming year. It is up to you whether you do it the easy way or the hard way. In this case, the easy way requires conscious effort, but is infinitely more comfortable than going through the process unconsciously.
Grounding, breathwork, and mindfulness are your strongest tools in this endeavor. Grounding allows you to be present to the now. Being present affords you the opportunity to be in acceptance of what is. Slow, deep, measured breathing will also help you be in acceptance. When you are in acceptance of what is, you can start to create change; up until that point, any changes you attempt will be changes to illusion, and would be a waste of time.
Mindfulness means paying attention to your thoughts without participating in them, being aware of the chemical reactions in your body (which create feelings), and of the judgments and decisions you make about those feelings, which lead to the stories you tell yourself about what’s going on (bringing you into illusion). When you may attention, when you watch the patterns and the process, it becomes easier to simply allow yourself to have the feelings without feeling the need to “interpret” them. Then you get to just be present.
It is from this space that it gets easier to accept that people are as they are, and allow them to have their process as well, without feeling the need to fix them or change their experience. You get to bring the focus back on you, back on owning your own life and being an empowered co-creator.
If you are feeling challenged in this regard, consider commissioning a personalized guided meditation (my monthly special). This is not something I offer year round; Spirit has asked me to make these available to you at this time, to help you move through your challenges more effectively.
