Playing it Safe Doesn’t Serve You…

“And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”~Anais Nin

Finding safety and feeling safe is different from playing it safe. If you are not thinking outside of the box, creating new things and you expect things to change without opening up to new possibilities you are playing it safe! If your focus remains on one thing and one thing only, you are playing it safe!

If you wish to grow and expand you must open up, put yourself out there and take a chance. It does you no good to sit at home and wish for things to change if you are not willing to create that change. No one is going to do it for you nor can they put you out there…only you can do that. When you take steps to find the areas in your life where you are playing it safe because of fear, past hurt or invalidation you clear those limits. Yes, playing it safe is limiting yourself!

Trying new and different ways of doing things might even change your perspective on those things you’ve been safely holding on to! Opening the Pandora’s box of limiting beliefs and finding out if what you believe to be true really is your truth can be daunting to say the least. It is difficult because generally speaking one plays it safe because of an underlying pain which must be acknowledged before it clears.

Being the good little girl or boy (no matter how old you are) so people like you doesn’t serve you or anybody else. Everyone has a comfort zone and if you are operating and staying within that comfort zone everything will remain just as it is! Just because it’s called a comfort zone doesn’t mean it’s comfortable to be there. Oddly sometimes the pain of where you are is more comfortable than taking the risk of putting yourself out there because unconsciously, or consciously, there is a fear and the potential of more pain.

At some point it does become more painful to remain tight in the bud hiding so take a risk and bloom in all your glory! This might mean that everyone in the world might not like you or think you are nice but if you are doing the right thing, you are a good person at heart and treat others as you should, does that matter? If you are happy, owning who you are and living from your truth isn’t that the most important thing?

Scary as it might be, stop playing it safe and bloom! If things go horribly, horribly wrong find your amusement that at least you put it out there! Better to put it out there, have a new experience and learn than to never know in the first place!

Show the world your glorious being-ness! If you feel the need to go bungee jumping or skydiving it might be the very thing that brings you alive and I will guarantee it will move a lot of energy and programming out of your space! Come alive, take a risk and bloom!~Shine Your Light Debbie

Experiencing the Golden Age & Surviving the Shift with Ease

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
