exhilaration! i am movement.

by meredith murphy

The New Human exists at the fulcrum of vast inner movement and the reflection of this in manifest realtiy.

To begin to know this experience, I claim my true nature: I am movement.

As movement I feel exhilaration! I don't know exactly where I am going and at times this has held me back, but no more. I don't always see the big picture of why I am drawn to certain things, but I trust myself and I allow myself to move into, toward that which I am drawn toward, that which I love and which I feel like experiencing--not slowly gingerly, but with heart and enthusiasm--running freely, the wind in my hair, kind of movement.

I am invigorated by nature and life.

I am embracing my innate innocence and sense of adventure.

I have let go of needing to see all the steps in front of me.

I am just flowing, moving toward life in each moment. Trusting. Confident. Strong. Joy embodied.

Beautiful!

Movement supports our body as we allow the intense energies we're experiencing to elevate our experience. I've doubled my daily walk time with the dogs and am also beginning to think about rollerblading again and/or running. The more we participate with these waves of energy cooperatively, merging with the energy, the easier this is. I'm noticing that the more I move physically the better I feel and using all this energy to exercise is also flowing the energy it in a wonderfully positive way for my body!

To get into this flow of movement, I had to cultivate it.  It grew gradually as I noticed any kind of movement energized and opened me up and so I kind of kept at it, little by little.  I had so much inertia after all this inner stuff for so long!!  Eventually more and more movement became part of my day and the whole thing got it's own momentum. I know it will continue to expand as I am appreciating it and noticing the delicious ways I feel! 

I am a big fan of stillness and inner movement.  For me, I simply came to a point where my inner movement was SO VAST! My life in manfiest reality needed to come into balance and also move with more acceleration and expansion to reflect this.  

I needed flow in all of my life, not primarily on the inner planes where it was.  

All of this amazing, vast inner movement, NEEDS to come forth in our manifest reality!  The inner movement so many of us have created, in manifest reality, will expand our world!  I see the reflection of our inner "ultra-marathoner" emerging in our manifest reality as a powerful gift, balancing and harmonizing our world and revealing the New Human--who moves on inner planes and creates and shifts energy in big ways day in day out.  This most naturally will be reflected in the outer experiences we have and are.

I am an embodied being who was covering enormous distance within and yet my outer life was not moving so dramatically and I sense that's what's next...to have created enough alignment with our I AM presence, that we are able to elevate our seat of consciousness and reflect the inner reality by letting it flow into our way of being in the manifest world.  My outer life was kinda stuck... I am not just talking about exercise here, I am talking too about literal movement--to new places, creating new things, new relationships, manifesting my ideas and releasing them and creating more and more and more...about overall acceleration and letting it create more movement in manifest reality as a natural allowing of my energy to expand and be unified and harmonious.

In addition to all the inertia from so much stillness, there was a part of me that wanted to plan and organize my life...like I used to in the old paradigm.  For so long there was a part of me that wanted to KNOW and in this wanting, I hesitated.  Waited. I tolerated not knowing decisively and let parts of my life not move.  The thing is--now that we are moving beyond patterns and habits, there is less "known" about life in the long-term sense.  We can focus upon the essence of things we wish to experience--joy, happiness, vitality, love, abundance, freedom--and generate these.  The particulars are dynamic.  As we release patterns and habits, we become more FREE.  In this freedom life is spontaneous.  Dynamic.  In-flux.  And we don't need to see all the steps.  I've known this for a while, but it's different to know this and move slowly then to know this and RUN HEADLONG into life.  !  Running takes real trust and confidence.  And for me, really it is a leap of faith I'm embracing.

What changed so much of this is the clear indicators of how right-on this way of being is>>the incredible exhilaration of movement and joy just became the desired experience.

Life is accelerating, changing so fast now!  It's much easier to yield to my innate aliveness and to flow and dance with life enjoying the movement and also having the confidence that I can alter thing whenever I need to.  This is living based on the true understanding of reality that I have.  I am a powerful creator who can revise reality to suit my heart's desires.  Continually. I don't have to know what I want ultimately, I just have to know what I want NOW.  I just choose what's right NOW.  Later if I want something different I can do/choose that.

We are learning to live in Infinite Time, embodying our eternal, creative, limitless selves, which are continually changing/moving/expressing...holding onto NOTHING.  Why would we?  We're one with everything anyway...?  It's more a matter of where our focused experience and expression is right NOW. 

We are movement as life is movement.  

For me, I love running, sprinting, speed--things like skiing, bike riding, driving with all the windows down and the air rushing by me, rollerblading and skating fast--so that's my way of stepping fully into the nature of this true reality.  For others it might be different--maybe more like swimming, or diving, dancing, or flowing.  Choose your way of moving...what feels right to you, but I encourage you to tap into the incredible joy of motion with the increasing energy.

In light of our innate ongoing movement--wave-particle-wave-particle--it ought to come as no surprise then that hesitating feels irritatingly icky and moving feels incredibly fabulous.    

I AM/We Are movement embodied, I invite you to choose to cooperate with that.

Exhilaration is yours to experience!

And WOW.  It feels wonderful.

 

cosmic clues to happiness

by meredith murphy

This morning as I started my day to a mocking bird orchestra-in-one, and then a flock of naturalized parrots took flight, soaring overhead and squawking with such exuberance that all the dogs including our new puppy Lily stopped, turned and looked up, I began to ponder my song.

As a non-native speaker of these early morning songs, I can only marvel at their lyrical beauty.  Birds to me and to many of us have long symbolized freedom.  Their innate rapport with the sky alone is enough to create a sense of awe.  Their consistent singing, though is what really moves me.  It feels to me like the same commitment to being that trees and flowers demonstrate; a devotion to embodying the essence of each aspect regardless of location, weather, or any other mitigating circumstance.

Birds, I've noticed, sing even in the rain.  They sing when the local city workers are drilling and putting in new traffic lights, like this morning. They sing when it's cold and when it's scaldingly hot and hasn't rained in months.  They just sing.

I love to sing and although I typically don't start my day that way, I actually used to.  I typically start my day in quiet, listening, which I also love.  But I have not been singing much these last few years after giving my piano away when it lost it's tune and although I intended to buy a new one, I haven't and slowly as it often happens, music a great passion of my early days, just faded out of my daily experience.  

I remember being in college and going to choir after lunch while a student a Michigan State.  The incredible joy of making such beautiful sounds, breathing deeply and doing so with others, was pretty heavenly. 

Considering all the themes in life lately that have been urging us to tune into our heart's desires, I am wondering if perhaps it's time to take a hint from the birds and begin to do so--meaning to sing more, consciously and with the kind of simple enthusiasm for dawn, another day, for being alive and aware, to articulate my own affinity with the sky by wafting my own sounds on the breeze and letting my heart flow into song.  

I think there's a connection between music, the spheres, birds and harmony which is potentially the root of happiness: a no holds barred expressing of one's essence in the dance of life.

Singing is often associated with the breath, and there are all kinds of feelings about if one sings well, or not and who is a singer.  But in truth the birds songs I loved so much this morning were more about the innate ability we each have to just let our heart-felt participation in this amazing expansion loose!

These songs were just sung.  No rehersal.  These beautiful birds are being, not performing.  It was sharing, communicating, expressing perhaps, but there was no evaluation or judgment, just letting it rip with no thoughts--second or otherwise.

I can see where in the midst of this is some sort of cosmic clue: a recipe for happiness.  Something about love for everything and just being part of the game.  The birds don't have some idea of who they are or how they should sing that interferes or narrates the experience.  They just do it.  They do it their own way.  It's their thing.

When I sing with this kind of release, I feel great.  I am entirely extravagantly relaxed (all that breath pouring in and out) and happy.  It all becomes effortless and like the bird, I am free.  In a moment like this we just flow with sound and breath in a Oneness that's ancient and emblamatic of the nature of our being and all being.  Sound is, after all, vibration.  Vibration is the essence of life and light.  While singing we potentially release our identity as one being and become One with that moment of focus, with the harmony of other singers, the instrument, the dogs barking, the sound of the lawn mower, the tune on the radio, or even, sometimes a counterpoint to the silence.  

Our life is song as there is vibration created by our energy, from our intentions which take vibrational structure and although we don't often hear them, we emanate their themes.  We are continually, in essence, singing!

Singing has always given me joy and as I awaken I feel the longing for more of it again.  I sing to my dogs when I feed them.  I sing in my car.  And I can feel that this desire to sing is expanding.  It is I suspect a conscious, reliable pathway to the essence of my being, which is innately happy.  It's a way to dip into my connection with everything, to flow the energy of breath from my heart into sound and to allow my melody to take the essence of me to the sky.   The resurfacing of my desire to sing, however, is more than that--it's a sign that my whole being is longing for release beyond story and purpose into just expressing the essence I am.  

It's a reflection of the changes within and the transformation that is flowing within all of us.  It's becoming self-evident that my song is vital and important as is yours.  And that each of us choosing to be our own undistorted melody is the essence of the new song...the song of harmony, peace, love and happiness on the inner planes, mirrored in the manifest reality. 

I may not be able to fly, but as I realize that I am consistently singing, I can own my ability to tune the air to my song.  I consciously realize that I am continually broadcasting, and everything that is, hear's everything I transmit.

With this in mind, I choose to be the essence of me: an enthusiastic sharer.  A joy-filled being who loves to translate into words, paintings, stories, experiences, or sounds, what I've felt, discovered, know and love.  That's me. That's my song.  And there is no end...there's more where that came from, I am infinite and limitlessly expanding with everything that is.

Each day that I let myself just be myself, without judgment or concern, I sing my true song.  There is the ultimate alignment of being as essence.  There is ease.  Life opens up as I do.  I become one with the morning with creation and claim my own connection to the sky.  And instead of pondering my song, I simply close the gap by being me: I AM my song.  

kindred souls on our ascension journey

I have received beautiful messages lately from our Cetacean friends, who are key participants in our ascension and the spiraling upward of our planet.  This video is very beautiful and especially the overtone chanting  + the whale sounds, makes for a beautiful experience.  Made originally for the 10-10-10 alignment, and still so inspiring!  In-joy!

do you see yourself clearly?

by meredith murphy

Do you know yourself truly?

Your are perfectly beautiful. 

Your perfection and beauty are eternally available.

As you love and appreciate yourself more and more, the alignment with your Self expands...and this sense of your own perfection is vividly apparent.  It seeps into your life, as does ease, confidence and a sense of the absolute rightness of everything about you.

As Dilgo Khentsye Rinpoche once said, "One should not think of oneself as lacking anything.  One should think of oneself as pure and perfect and lacking nothing."

There's a good reason for this.  It's true.

Note to self: anything that doesn't feel like this, is an illusion. 

 

creativity fuels the momentum of bliss

by meredith murphy

Isn't it truly amazing all the wonderful avenues to bliss in our world? Today, I am loving a new bossa nova artist -- new for me--and I feel such resonance with this music and my own sensibility and rhythm right now, that it amplifies my seeds of joy!

Do you realize the ways you lead yourself into bliss have such a ripple effect? When you find your own joy, you open that energy up for others to tap in. When you create from this space, be it a meal, a note, a song or a painting, you transmit this energy! You give it form in a way that becomes timeless and the momentum of your joy flows into the world in ways you likely will never realize.

Today I invite you to appreciate creativity in all forms and especially in yourself! To notice when you follow your inspiration and to smile at your beautiful self.  To realize the expansive freedom you exist as in this moment of aliveness in flow! As you are in this way, BEING FULLY YOU right here right now, you exist as radiant beauty.  See this in yourself.  :) 

The more quickly and without hesitation, you fully give in to your inspiration and flow with this expression the more you leap over local boundaries and become a non-local expression of All-That-Is.  You are God, life, Sun, Earth, Air, Water, Stars, Source...!  You experience heaven.  You are heaven.  You are the literal mother of invention, creating new awareness.

As you present this way, you are LOVE.  You are life force uninhibited.  You a conduit of abundance for all who are capable to open and receive.  Generously expressed and offered.  Without concerns and self-awareness--these evaporate as you expand into your experience. 

With heart and soul you serenede All-That-Is with your very being and your creativity fuels the momentum of bliss. 

Do you recognize that as you yield and go wtih all this, YOU re-instate love and freedom, abundance and bliss?

Party of a Lifetime Invitation to Self: Follow YOUR Inner Urges. 

Your Passions, Your Dreams, Your Curious Paths, the Unique Combinations that Interest YOU?  They're SO very vital.

Thank you for being YOU ♥ 

 

nourishing your power

 
by meredith murphy

I have been merging with nature consciously since I was a small child.  I didn't think of it as anything unusual.  I will say though, I was well aware that the experience definitely had a certain charge!  A kind of magial, secret power...I knew there was something awesome about these moments in life and being a person aware of living this way even as a child I knew this. I also knew it was something to do by myself and often.

I used to go and sit outside on the front porch during a rain or even thunderstorm.  There was a little notch at the corner of the house created where the huge picture window frame jutted out and the surrounding brick was set back at the corner.  Just the right size for someone small enough to sit and not be seen from either direction.  I loved to sit there and become one with everything.  I love that I grew up in a household where I had lots of freedom to explore the outdoors and be.  No one interrupted me or worried about where I was.  I felt confident, connected, elated and entirely safe.  As I dissolved in my secret space, I would feel an incredible bliss arise.  I felt huge and spacious.  Elated and expansive.  I felt like ME. 

When I lived in Nashville I used to walk often at Radnor Lake.  As you walk around the lake the bushes are tangled and dense and when I could find an opening I would step off the trail and sit within the thicket.  As I relaxed and was still, without any effort on my part, I would feel the boundaries of my energy dissolve. I could then sense tiny movements and all kinds of life energy around me that I could not see or hear.  Lots of small birds which live darting in and out of these thorny bushes at amazing speed begin to come out in the open as though I was not there.  Playing!  People would walk by and not even notice me.  Meanwhile, I was getting a giant juiced up infusion of exhilarating life-force energy.  My awareness was non-local and I was part of the whole.  This mode of being I now know fed my energy body, (what I now know is my KA body) and again, an incredible bliss arose. From the release of all resistance and all identity?  I don't know.  But whatever it is, it works.

It's powerfully expanding to take your awareness, and thus your state of being, to different levels of focus on purpose.  To realize that you exist as YOU reading this simply by focus, and that you can alter that, anytime you want.

One of the ways I learned to channel consciously was to attune myself to the energy of another thing, and eventually, another focus and speak what I experienced.  

More and more I have returned to the simpler way of being that I engaged in as a child.  I just expand without words, and feel.

Today, I was very inspired by this image...this beautiful bird (finch?)  So delicate and free. 

I began to soften my own energy to attune to this gorgeous landscape...to imagine the feel of resting on a zinnia, wings tucked back, entirely supported.  At ease.

Openness takes me once more into spacious expansion, and bliss.  And with this openness is freedom--no obstructions to flow.  My vitality, an endless spring.

Then I began to see...and make connections.

For a long time I didn't make any correlation between these nearly daily experiences and my own enormous personal power.

I have always had an unusual amount of self-confidence and trust in my own power.  For much of my life, I didn't even know this was unusual.  Only as I got older did I gradually discover that not everyone felt this way.  I typically am so involved in my interests, what I'm learning, my passionate self-expression and being with friends and animals having conversation and fun, that I don't compare myself, I just AM.  As I began to work as a executive coach and strategic consultant, a career coach, leading teams and teaching, I realized my experience was more unusual than I had known.

The way any of you know me now, is in many ways, pretty much how I've always been.  I know what I feel and think.  I learn things quickly.  I'm quick and smart.  Clear and bold.  Energetic and positive. Creative and logical.  Soft and outgoing.  Love being alone and open and accessible to connect with.  Confident and enthusiastic.  Engaged and involved.  I make money easily, change my life as frequently as I like to keep up with me.  I find myself good to great at most things I turn my attention to.  I don't feel I need to prove myself to others and I don't care too much about what others think about me.  I don't feel I need a degree or a resume to open doors for me.  I've gotten all kinds of jobs and created work because it was what interested me and my energy and confidence made things happen.  I'm robust physically, coordinated and strong.  Loved and loving.  Connected and free.  I'm continually thriving, and moving toward greater thriving.  I trust life to speak to me.  I trust my presence, I trust the Universe and I believe in the innate capacity of YOU in much the same way.

Audacious?  Well, yes--by old paradigm criteria.  But isn't this somewhat the way self-love and empowerment feels like?  

For a long time I didn't make any correlation between these nearly daily experiences of non-local knowing and energizing, and this atypical human experience of enormous personal power.  In hindsight I see the energizing of my etheric body and this regular return to the fullness of non-local perspective, is the literal fountain of youth; sustaining my innocence, curiosity, flexibility, sense of self and ultimately, my feelings of being powerfully capable, deeply loved, vitally important and totally free throughout my life.

Amazing how simple it might just be to find your power, and to expand it.

It might not actually require you to participate in rituals, find a guru, commune with ascended masters, go back to school, spend thousand of dollars on therapy, or learn secret techniques.

I'm not knocking any of these approaches and I myself spent lots of money on therapy reclaiming aspects of my childhood.  Obviously I channel ascended masters and love the experience.  So these things work and are very helpful, but I am urging you to tap into something even deeper.

I noticed that even during the most difficult parts of my own years of therapy, I felt my own resilience, in a much stronger way then it seems others I know have been able to.  After an especially hard session, instead of feeling tired and sad, I used to ride my bike home from my therapist's office, roaring out loud at the top of my lungs about what I was going to be and do, while weaving amidst downtown Chicago traffic and feeling invincible. 

Why is that? 

I feel it has to do with these direct experiences with the true nature of reality that reveal our inherent God-ness and the bliss, that if you don't know how to find it, feels SO very elusive and if you do know it, sets you free--it grounds you in a fundamental state of worthiness and awesomeness that's kinda bullet-proof, actually.

Isn't all of adult life about going after the paths and things, experiences and relationships which will return us to a state of happiness we KNOW is fundamentally what life is all about?  Aren't we working towards that peaceful, blissed out state, seeking some kind of return in so many ways?

I keep thinking lately that life is really a path of returning to wholeness because in wholeness we feel powerful.  HUGELY POWERFUL.  And we're innately powerful.  It's natural.  When we're young and haven't forgotten this yet, we live differently...we're not worried about getting hurt.  We go and do what seems fun.  If we get knocked down, we mend and do it again.  We follow our heart.  We are open and innocent enough to feel life in so much richness it's glorious and mind-blowing on I-can't-wait-to-get-out-of-bed-and-ride-my-bike kind of daily basis.

I believe we can plug directly into all this just by returning to a non-local presence regularly. 

I now continue to create these experiences, only with a much fuller understanding of what is taking place.  I use solar flares, channeling and high-vibe energy of all kinds to nourish my energy.  I do this by becoming non-local, or one with everything, and this happens just naturally as I relax and allow.  I can also do it intentionally with my focus.

Looking back upon my early experiences with this shows me how natural this all is.  I was never afraid when I became one with the sky, the rain, with all of nature, when I extended my energy out to merge with the entire Omni-verse.  I just felt bliss. INCREDIBLE bliss.  You know--the way we feel after great sex, kinda bliss.  Think about it...

When you're in love and you have just had great mutually orgasmic sex, there is an intimate secret bliss between you and your lover.  A radiance that lasts and an energy field you're within (the non-local one you co-created and shared, btw).  You look at one another in knowing wonder and glee at what you've shared and felt.  There is deep satisfaction, fulfillment and peace.  You actually feel profoundly powerful, if you think about it.  And filled with love.

That's what I feel whenever I release my local identity of Meredith, and allow it to enlarge into an expanded non-local field of whatever I choose to be the boundaries.  I feel a huge sacred private connection that exhilarates me and alters everything that follows it.  I feel spacious, huge, gladdened, made more alive and inviolable.

I might expand into a connection with all of the planet, or just the rain, I might become one with a place I'm in, or enjoy an expanded and merged state of being with my pets or dissolve into the whole sky.  There may be forms within this field, but my awareness rests in the space within the forms and the space outside the forms; the non-local fluid omnipresent Oneness.

And in this openness, I feel, simply, like me.  The ultimate, infinite, splendiferous, cool, powerfully creative, loved, me.  The me that lives life, as Byron Katie, says, (reflecting total empowerment, nonchalance and trust), "Everybody already LOVES me, they just don't know it yet!"

 

 

discernment and staying in your power

by meredith murphy

I've noticed a flurry and acceleration of activity lately.  Have you?

Just as a reminder, we're within a total re-booting of our energy system (see the digest, from August 11th).  And Mercury goes direct this week on Friday, the 26th, so perhaps we'll see more clearly and communicate with greater ease about what we're experiencing now?

There has been a lot of energy and also some significant hype about about the Mayan calendar coming in October.  In the same way that Hollywood jumped on the 2012 bandwagon, there are videos showing up all over the internet, espousing all kinds of views.  And now I am seeing several highly visible ones from websites created by people who are unidentified.  Who are "sharing" some ideas--yet unwilling to introduce themselves and commit to a viewpoint. 

This is not responsible journalism or blogging in any way.  It's so easy to put stuff out there without citing any source--and I am totally okay with one person being the source, sharing what they sense, channel or understand.  For those of you who share videos and articles with your friends, I encourage you to not feed the frenzy by just posting and circulating stuff that isn't put through your own filter of discernment first.  

In addition, channeled messages are all over the place with many different possible outcomes being portrayed.  I've seen noted channels share things that feel totally energetically different and out of resonance with me than the rest of their work.  I've received lots of emails about this and people wondering about the diversity of the messages coming forth.  Some people thought huge energy shifts happened the weekend of the 13th, some are predicting this coming weekend that a huge flip will happen.  There's a lot of stuff in the air. 

One question is, does it apply to you?

Clearly there is a lot of energy moving, a lot of change, an anticipation of further, perhaps MORE dramatic earth changes (earthquakes, days of darkness, poles flipping dramatically, disclosure, etc)

In the midst of this flurry (which may only increase), I want to remind us of the fundamentals here and encourage us to be coherent and clear.  Which is ONLY possible from anchoring with our own guidance and our inner sense of things.  We must be in and come from our own still point to know if what we read or experience is true for us, applies to us, resonates within us and in doing so has meaning for us RIGHT NOW. 

If we encounter a video, a channeled messages, a post or a energy update and we're all over the place and ungrounded when we read it, how are we to know what's true?

For me, daily grounding and meditation has become more important, and now it is happening several times throughout the day.  I am getting myself up early to make sure I have quiet time to just sit and be and listen and cultivate my field, before anyone else needs me or the day gets going. 

I am also determined right now to continually return to clarity throughout the day.  I use the Abraham-Hicks vortex meditations (15 amazing minutes) and lie down listening to them whenever I feel tense, confused or not sure what to do next or how to handle something.  I am also using simple witness meditation, that I've intuitively practiced for most of my life--I remember doing it on my own when I was about 8.  Only in hindsight understanding I was focusing on my KA body and energizing it.  See how much our own innate wisdom is right for us?

Returning to a peaceful, in-the-vortex state is always grounding, nourishing, allowing and gives rise to clarity.

There are of course countless tools for working with our energy and our consciousness.  More and more I am focused on those that are simple and direct.  There are many wisdom traditions throughout our history that have rituals and practices for connecting with our true nature and accessing wisdom.  More and more I feel to allow ourselves to approach this in a modern way--un-hooked from any tradition or dogma.  We can connect and access expansive knowing simple with intention, choice and focus.  It truly is that simple.

The month of June--the Eclipse/Solstice series that extended into mid-July, was a powerfully transformative time for the planet and us, just like the December Solstice/Eclipse series was in 2010. 

It is the procession of the Equinoxes and the Solstices which are shifting our galaxy and ultimately altering the entire nature of the cosmos. 

The Mayan Calendar, numerology, channeling and other tools and methodologies have been offered to give us a greater understanding and a way to navigate during these times.  But the best navigation is within us.  And by tuning into that, you can be assured you won't miss ANYTHING important.  Within you lies the answers to everything essential to your awakening.  The litmus test?  Does it bring your more peace?  Do you feel joyful.  Does it open your heart.  Do you feel shivers, a thrill of recognition?  Even if it's difficult, does it bring you closer to you, does it bring you more alive?  Even the difficult moments are openings potentially when witnessed with presence and gentleness.  From this comes healing and insight.

These are the ways to sense truth and you are made for this.  Claim what you know and dare to live from your own point of focus; bring your unique and valuable perspective to our shared, co-creation of the ultimate new paradigm and the graceful resolution of the old.

Remember and trust in this: amidst the plethoria of information--some of which you are well aware is just noise--there is an amazing authentic beautiful thing happening...

People of all different nationalities, ages, and backgrounds, are being drawn within.  Life, in many experiences is nudging us to embrace and orient to the same values.  We're having similar discoveries.  The awareness of the beauty of love, the interconnectedness of our planet, the divine nature of our being, the purpose of being here now--the participation in a collective awakening and the desire to re-focus on this and to expand into a new paradigm for humanity and our planet, is growing in volume and participants.

You'll notice in this great dog park pic that a diversely beautiful group of canines is doing what we're doing--being themselves and moving in the same direction.  There are probably other dogs (not pictured) sitting still or lying down and doing nothing...and others still running in another direction.  Also just part of the way the divine plan is perfectly unfolding.

I encourage you to remember the underlying source energy that flows into and gives life to all of us; we're all receiving the same fundamental impulses and calls to life.  Each of us filters these through our own lens and as such our way of talking about what's happening reflects where we are, and our own quality of perspective and awareness.

In my experience, I must draw even closer to my own heart--listening, and to my body and my inner sense of things--as the ultimate authority for EVERYTHING.  Nothing else--no other source--is capable of guiding me as well as I may care for and love myself.

The nature of our reality is varied.  There is not just one thing happening here.  Meaning there is not one earth experience; there are as many as there are points of focus.  Yes we share collective energies, but we also are an energy field which magnetizes based on our vibration, like experiences.  So each of us reads life as a reflection of our own prior focus.  Life as we know it, is simply a giant feedback system--reflecting our state of being, clearly and without distortion. 

As such we are served so beautifully exactly what we feel and expect.  And when we get otherwise, it's a wake-up call that our sense of what we've been feeling and expecting might be a little out of touch with what's really within us. 

We are each only capable of birthing the new earth by resolving the duality within ourselves.  We cannot resolve duality within others.  Let me repeat:

I CANNOT RESOLVE DUALITY IN OTHERS.  I MAY ONLY PARTICIPATE IN  BIRTHING THE NEW EARTH AND THE NEW PARADIGM BY RESOLVING DUALITY, RESOLVING EVERYTHING WITHIN ME.  CREATING TRUE PEACE--NOT AN ABSENCE OF PROBLEMS OR CONFLICT, BUT DEEP, SUSTAINED PEACE WITHIN ME. 

That's where my power is: within my own life and my own experience.

I can trust that as I do this, what is ME mirrored in the world around me and I can alter the world, from within me.  The conflict, fear, anger, aggression, hurt, distrust, critical view, in essence--distorted and wounded--parts of me that are made manifest in the world around me--will disappear and change--reflecting what I create within me.  That's it.  Therein lies my power to create the new paradigm.

We support each other in this inward journey.  We inspire.  We affirm.  We recognize one another's beauty.  We encourage.  We're brave.  We're courageous...bold even.  We open up.  We're met with friendliness and kindred souls echo our vulnerability.  We all heal. 

I see enormous love and gentleness being offered and received by people all around the world. 

The relationship we have to the planet herself is for many of us, being understood more clearly and our awareness of this soulful, valued sentient being in our experience is informing more and more our ways of being and creating.  We live appreciating and aware of her.  Love is resolving deep wounds created by old paradigms and limited perspectives. It is a glorious time to be alive.

As the flurry of activity accelerates as we approach the September Equinox, the ending of the Mayan Calendar, the 11-11-11 alignment and the entry to 2012, you, attuning to your own authentic voice and being YOU, is of enormous importance.

It alters the very nature of reality, bringing all of life into greater sincerity and wholeness.

You are beautiful, important and innately wise.  I feel you running alongside me, in your own perfect way with our eyes on the prize: the actualization of the new paradigm.  Play and enjoy yourself.  Discern from within.  Shine forth in light.  Sit still or nap when you feel like it.  Run in the other direction when you feel you need to.  Just trust yourself.  You are the most important part of this change in your life.  Aren't you just in awe of yourself?  No?  Well then there's a nice place to begin.  Yes?  Well, yummy...let's just soak this up a bit.

May we each, increasingly and consistently, see and feel through the flurry, the majestic wise sentience of our eternal being.  The eternal flame of pure love, pure potential and pure joy.  The One I AM, and the glorious expression of this in each of us.  Namaste.

casting my fate with a dog

by meredith murphy

Living with golden retrievers is one of the doorways to bliss on my path to elevated consciousness...I kid you not.  I've turned over myself entirely to what I can learn from Jackson.

David Hawkins, who wrote "Power vs. Force" (highly recommended reading) tells us that the entrainment or influence of higher energy fields has an anabolic effect on us.  In our bodies, anabolic processes tend toward "building up" organs and tissues. These processes produce growth and differentiation of cells and increase in body size, a process that involves synthesis of complex molecules.  So being around high-vibe energy fields or systems actually is growth-enhancing (metaphorically and literally).

Likewise, entrainment by lower fields of energy have a catabolic, or destructive effect. (ouch!)

So if you seek bliss, joy, happiness and enlightenment, you in essence, are seeking entrainment of the most powerful, high-vibe attractor patterns; the highest vibrations of coherence and frequency. 

To really get this going, we need to do this consistently, which takes a conscious choice--an act of focus and will. 

This is where amazing dogs come in.  I'm into ease, not work.  And daily contact with Jackson, who is just a glorious peaceful being of joy and delight--well he has all kinds of ways to get my attention.  He's very quick to come bug me by putting his nose under my elbow, when I've been sitting at my desk all day, or to scratch at the door, go outside seemingly to pee, but instead sneaks around to the front yard by pushing opening the door I've blocked with plants and then rolls in the grass and when he's done sits next to the roses in the sun and enjoys the breeze if there's one.  He's knows how to tell me it's WAY-time to take a break, go outside for a bit.

So living with him is a consistent invitation to play, to ease, to receive and gift affection, to joy...you get the picture.

I've found that even holding the image of him in my mind when I'm not home immediately influences my in a very positive way-- thinking about him brings me, my body and my energy field strength and energy.

In many spiritual traditions and in sports, aspirants seek out great gurus and coaches in part because of the simple energy of their influence; which inspires greatness (through entrainment).

So you've seen the movies or read the books where having a wonderful dog changes someone's life.  It's true.  It does.  But here's the rub: the dog is just a consistent willing channel for the expansive energy of all that is.

Are you?

None of us escape the influence of the fields of energy we come into contact with.  The choices we make with our attention determine what influences and eventually shapes our behavior our thoughts our feelings and the foundation of perspective--our frequency.

So who knew when I brought him home, that the connection with my dog would become the doorway to such amazing things?  Through entrainment with his glorious energies I tap into my own resonant connection with the expansive energy of all-that-is. 

Jackson, teaches me what many spiritual teachers have taught devoted human beings over and over again; that I only have to discover that which I already am and let it flow.
