Musings: Shift in the Universe

There is a shift that is taking place in our Universe as we approach our next phase as a human race. Whether you accept the view that the end of the Mayan Calendar on December 21, 2012 signifies anything or not, the shift of consciousness is definitely at hand.

Are you feeling the shift? And if so, what are you doing about it? Are you going about life in the usual manner living each day as you have always lived,  or are you looking at this shift as an opportunity to make a quantum leap in your life?

My own view is that during these momentum times of planetary shift one must leap-frog their evolution. How do you that? In my view, one needs to listen to spirit. The planetary shift in my view is moving us from materialism to spiritualism. I have been blessed in this regard, as I started to meditate at a young age per my mother’s guidance. Today my practice includes 2 hours a day of meditation (See link HERE for a Guided Meditation).Through meditation, you can sharpen your intuition which is the guidance you receive from spirit. You can also sharpen your other five senses, as well as come into balance with a universal flow. As we transition through this shift, it is through a daily and foundational spiritual practice that one can leap-frog the chasm and arrive at a more enlightened plateau. Remember you cannot cross a chasm in two steps – you have to do it in one, and that requires courage and faith. Both these virtues exist in abundance in the spirit – tap into it! Tap into it daily and several times a day!

Since many will not be able to make this shift, you are already seeing many examples of increased violence, suicide rates, financial failures and health issues. In my own life, I am currently going through chronic back pain (a bulge in my spine between L4 and L5) and must be conscious about the causes of this pain, one of which is the heaviness of the times. As I am understanding the shift taking place in our world, I am able to meditate and manage the pain while keeping a healthy and positive attitude, knowing that I will land safely and pain-free on a higher ground on the other side of the shift.

During the shifting times, it is important to take all judgment out of our psyche. Judgment is one of the lowest vibrational emotions and one that causes separation and dis-ease. Every year I am reminded of this as I speak at Leavenworth prison to a group of inmates who have committed serious crimes and offenses. I always look at them as souls and spirits just like me – understanding the spark in them is the same as the spark in me and you. On the most recent visit, one prisoner said to me, “You don’t speak to us as felons; you speak to us as human beings.” I learn from this annual experience that you give all judgments up to the Universe and then see in each and every person the spirit that connects us all.

As mortals, we have all offended often those people we love the most. Because of this, it is important to cultivate a deep sense of empathy, not just for the sake of others but also for ourselves. None of us are perfect, but we are on the way.

With such perceptions, with such a transformation from criminals to humans, humans to souls, with a Universe ready and willing to shift, the time is now.Are you ready?
