As the Shift continues it is easy to look outside yourself for answers, especially in trying times. We all have ways of dealing with stress and disappointments. Some are more effective than others. Meditation and centering yourself draws you back into yourself. Breathing exercises can calm the mind and help connect you to other aspects of your being. It is valuable to see sides of yourself which enhance your own talents and abilities. We are always only expressing a part of what we are. Maybe at work you are a salesperson, in relationship you are a mother or sister, you may also be an artist or sports person. These are all aspects of what you are and the Shift will press you to change and enhance certain parts of what you are while others fall to the side. Constantly you will find  time is channeling you into some avenues and you find you just don’t have time to pursue other interests or businesses you may begin. Welcome to the new changed life you are being presented with.

You are entering the change, yet it may require stretching and a new perspective. I can only offer a a few options I have found helpful in the paths on your journey. Here in the School of Life, we are involved in, and your degree will be  measured by progress you evaluate in your growth. There is no outside gauge of your progress except by non-tangible transformation. Although your change may require you going back to further your education in a school to get a diploma to pursue your inner prompting. I would like you to be aware of another side of learning which appears when you are ready to grow into it. More than that it may even be that life itself molds and changes to bring elements into your life, bringing people and experiences, which enhance aspects of your life.

We are mysterious and magnificent beings. Capable of miracles and a depth of being needed by many in our lives. We each have gifts to share with others. Sometimes this has little to do with the job we are doing, but who we are doing it. It may even more have to do with what we are than who are, doing what we do. I just finished doing a festival with friends and the connections going on around me were magic. I could not possibly have created the talent and the events of the day, yet as it unfolded I created the space for peoples lives to be enhanced. I did not even create the festival, but merely set my intent that this day would be special in many lives to uplift those around me. I decided this particular class in the school of life reflect my inner growth, being also a space for my learning. We each have talents, we each are connected to each other, and our thoughts as well as our actions are connected to the whole of Life. The Shift only intensifies these tendencies and brings people and events into our lives for Life’s unfoldment and being in the flow can enhance the lives of ourselves and others. It is time for us to become all that we are, and bring that into the world. Each of us brings our own unique melody and wisdom which others need, and bring the greatest joy into our lives.

Take the tools you use, allow other learning to come into your life becoming the person you can be through your intentions to make life the greatest expression of your desires and hopes. You are worthy and needed as the Shift proceeds. Welcome to the Great School, you will find you are as much a teacher as a student.

Slow Down

Music & Lyrics: Lance Kurland

Slow down and give yourself space, and a quiet space. There’s plenty of time for your lessons in growing,

Slow down your rushing around, what have you found, and where are you going?

Think of your dreams your hope and your schemes, they brighten your day, and keeps you alive,

Does your life make you whole, does it lighten your soul? Are you going to Heaven, or have you arrived?

Slow down your missing a chance, In the now… to share in the dance, and be in the sun,

Slow down, there’s kindness in time, in the seasonal rhyme, in the unfoldment of the One.

Slow down there’s no need to hide, from what’s deep inside, allow each person, their own unique play,

Slow down the journey is all, heed the inner call, Celebrate every special day.

Don’t push the waves, there’s no one to save, There’s only the joy we can give,

A moment’s a gift, a feeling that lifts, as all of life drifts in a love to be lived.
