You're Ready for This...

My clients’ pets often join them in unexpected behavior during our calls. They become unusually calm, they get closer than normal, they make noises and become extra excited when something major is transforming, because they feel the energy movement. Animals are natural healers. 
 
The dog in the photo, for example, becomes a 75 pound lap dog during our calls. My client asked to be guided through a transformational meditation and again, her puppy unexpectedly participated, laying on her back quietly. It was hilarious. Animals know.
 
Like our physical bodies need movement, care, healing, inspiration, rest, so does the body of 7 billion people, called humanity, on this planet. Like we can learn from, heal and dissolve whatever dis-ease we carry in our bodies, so it is with a dis-ease among us.
 
You are a cell in that body. Affecting, giving life, and inspiring others without knowing it, by being yourself. By doing what matters to you. By going within and listening. By loving your life and the life of the whole. Our animals remind us that we are all in this together by mimicking what they feel from us, and that who we are, who we are being, matters.
 
We are ready for this. There’s a healing rising up underneath this pandemic. A time to do things differently. To clean house inside and out. 
 
All day during calls, each client spoke of the stress and fear, then the epiphanies, the changes happening in them as they applied what they know and the fear moved through. Suddenly what they’ve been doing was ready for change. When we "arrive" a new frontier appears.
 
They were all coming from these grander spaces within themselves, regardless of any stress they felt. Viruses do that, metaphysically. They clean house, create balance, even if they seem to wreak a havoc first. If we’re listening, their biggest outcome is to get our attention into a new way forward. The body wants to evolve, to heal itself.
 
“After all the work I’ve done, I suddenly had this awakening, said a client, seeing where I’d been holding resentment, fear and stress about my business. That there wouldn’t be enough to go around as new people enter the industry. I know better. Suddenly with all that's going on, I saw that I need a new vision for my business going forward because the one I’ve been working from is done.”
 
Another client, “I realized in my past that money was the only thing that kept the whole thing together. I can relate to the deep fears gripping people right now, because I used to be there. I can feel the scarcity rippling out from people. I meditated to move it. To clear the stress for others I could feel in myself and to clear it for the whole. You talk about how money correlates to love and I thought of how we’ve depended on money with fear. It’s time to change our energetic glue.”
 
“I saw what I was holding onto, not wanting to risk the goodness I have now for what is tugging on me to move forward and create next.”
 
Others were releasing guilt of having it so good and stepping into their expansion forward, to be of greater good, both receiving and giving. Opening their hearts for times such as these to flourish, to be of greater joy, introspection, creativity, and contribution.
 
Other clients wanted to feel cosmic belonging, to finish the feelings of not belonging in earthly families or industries, to end the internal isolation.
 
Remember, you didn’t come here to fit in, at least not with the masses. You have a cosmic belonging that will never let go of you, an indelible place in the universe and family of humanity. You soar when you no longer need to belong in a way would diminish what you’re capable of and you feel connected with yourself and your universal belonging. 
 
This is the way of things. When we arrive, we suddenly begin a new frontier, or it begins for us.
 
For us.
 
As clients pondered their way forward, an executive guiding a sales team. A realtor connecting people and ideal houses, an attorney, bankers, financial advisors,… they pondered the changes in their own lives and pondered their contributions in their world. 
 
Pivot. This is a time for a new way forward. Be a vibrant cell in the body of humanity as well as your own life.

Reevaluate where and how you are investing your resources. What or who are you working around that is costing you energy? What would you create if you made that energy available to yourself with new choices? What can you pay off, even if in faith, that brings completion to the past? What can you continue to move forward with, even if in trust, because you know what this new energy means to you, your work, your passion, the health of your body, your way forward.
 
Choices from your past have morphed into your masterpiece. And the choices you make now will become your masterpiece of the future.

You're ready for this.
 

With great love and thankfulness,
