SPIRITUALITY – Page 11

There is an interesting phenomenon happening now. It seems as if there is a bright, blinding light shining on challenges and the ghosts from the past are showing themselves. We are being asked to take a step up in vibration and as this happens universally we all must take ownership of what is happening individually. How are you feeling these days? Does it feel like your personal challenges are enhanced to the 10th degree? Are you more stressed than usual? Do you encounter “stop” energy at every turn? if you answered yes to any of those questions you are not alone. Many people are having the same experience and because everything is so magnified now it’s easy to get caught up in our own “stuff”.

What you are experiencing is a shift in the energies and a call to action so to speak. You are being given a choice to step up or step aside. Many people are deciding to change directions or they are at a crossroads in their lives. Any time one decides to change directions, you can be sure that all the energies you still need (or want) to work on will be magnified and it will be difficult to move forward until you clear them. If you truly want to change direction and move forward, what you do with today will have a direct impact on where you want to go. Your “call to action” may actually consist of quieting the mind and just “being” for a short time each day. I find it interesting that a lot of people want to shove the energies into the background instead of looking at and facing them head on then clearing them. This is not a ‘bad’ thing to do but if you don’t release what is holding them in place rest assured you will have to do it later.

Surviving the shift definitely means getting in touch with a part of you that may have been dormant for some time. Once awakened, it’s like shaking an apple tree. All the loose apples and dead twigs & leaves are going to fall out and you can leave them rotting on the ground at your feet wallowing in them or take a giant golden rake and get rid of all the debris. In order to experience a personal “golden age” you must shake your tree, release the old and create it for yourself. During times of great challenge you must connect with your “inner GPS” and fully trust that there is a greater purpose to what’s happening and that you are indeed moving in the right direction. Allow your intuition to guide you and trust it!

Experiencing the coming of a personal golden age never comes without its challenges. You know it’s coming when you’re feeling like life is accelerating out of control, everything is magnified and it all feels a bit overwhelming. All of those things are signs you are shaking up the energy to move past it. In order to create calm from chaos you must make time for yourself lest you get even more caught up in the busy-ness of life. The choice really is yours. You can meet the shift with grace, clear the energies and create your golden age now or you can do it later. Here’s the thing the shift is happening and it’s not going away. Wouldn’t you rather experience the golden age sooner than later?

The “Golden Age” is a period of peace, harmony, stability, and prosperity and you can choose to have it now. Decide to see the positive not focus on the negative. Follow your intuition and connect with your passion. Your golden age is created by being in the here and now. In your mind’s eye visualise golden suns and bring them in through the top of your head. Surround yourself in the golden light of peace and harmony. Bask in the golden light of universal love.~Shine Your Light Debbie

Does the sun politely ask the darkness if it can shine or does it just rise and shine?

Love thy neighbor as thyself. Be polite. Say thank you. Mind your manners. Use common courtesy. Of course these are things we learn as children and as each of us strives to be a better person it is possible to try so hard to be “nice” and “polite” that we occasionally get hurt in the process. In the world of politeness and common courtesy the question posed (along with a few others) are good ones to ponder. Is the fear of being impolite stronger than doing what is best for you? Is being polite more important than your feelings? Are you so afraid of being seen as impolite that you disregard your own truth and do the polite thing even if it causes you pain?

Common courtesy and living from the golden rule is a given. Everyone should practice those on a daily basis but when your intuition kicks in and there are danger signals it is conceivable that the “polite” thing to do is not the right thing for you. A great example of this is when you are going through a tough time and a friend calls to tell you all their problems and you become a dumping ground for their pain. Normally you would probably listen intently and lovingly try to help them however what if doing that means you put aside caring for yourself and your own needs? If you happen to take on their problems and pain you are causing yourself more pain in the process. If you simply must be polite how about speaking from your heart and telling them you really need your space and can’t help them right then? If they continue on with no regard for what you need they are really not listening to YOU or care about what you need. At that point perhaps you don’t have to be nice about it.

If someone offered you drugs would you take them because want to be polite? If you have a food allergy would you eat foods which would harm you? Of course not! It is no different with what you take on energetically. Emotional pain is generally someone else’s energy in your space and it possibly manifests as illness in your body. When the fear of being impolite is stronger than your needs and causes you more pain it’s time to take notice! If being polite is more important than your own self-worth and you politely take whatever is thrown at you it’s time to re-evaluate. If negativity surrounds you yet you’re still being ‘nice’ to those negative people instead of distancing yourself perhaps it’s time to look deeper to find out why it is that this happens. Don’t allow fear to run your life and take over even if it means someone might not like you. They may not like you but what’s the cost to you if they do?

Listen to your intuition and feel your feelings. If your gut is screaming at you to get out of there….get out of there! You don’t have to make excuses or be polite. Here’s the part you’ll like; You don’t have to be rude or impolite to stand your ground! Politely go ahead and excuse yourself. Politely tell someone you’re not feeling up to it (whatever ‘it’ is). It is possible to stand up for yourself by speaking from your heart with graceful, loving intent. If someone or some thing is not healthy or in your best interests maybe it’s time to clear the fear, stop being polite and speak your truth whether someone likes it or not. Rise and shine! ~Shine Your Light Debbie
