Greetings!
 There are those among us who will tell you that to achieve the quickening in consciousness there must be drama, the kind of human trauma that finds us walking away from the life we were born into or have created from deep within us.
Many of us have already taken steps in the direction of severing ties that had us bound by fear or left us cold with anxiety. We simply chose to step out of our lives and move into a different way of being. You may still find yourself struggling with the desire to change some aspect of your life for the better, to bring more joy into your life, but still fear what may be lurking on the other side of that change. The fear of anticipated ramifications, as you step away from what no longer serves you, is far worse than the leap itself. How then do you accomplish such a task without thwarting the very expression you are calling forth? One way is to begin looking at your life through a different prism. The role you play in the context of your human family is not the same as the role you are here to play as a light being. Many of us already know that we both love and care for our family of origin but are not birthed from the same energetic cloth. How we navigate in the context of making choice as a part of our human family verses light being is different too. As we shift our awareness away from fitting in and drop into the stillness that settles in when we recognize our true nature, we liberate ourselves from the need to conform. This simple yet profound shift in perspective has us focusing entirely on feeling which then makes any choice easy to identify. The more we are focused on feeling, the more we naturally gravitate toward others who are open to feel, sense and see the world as swirling moving energy rather than immovable beliefs or things. The more you focus on the feeling of you and the energy that flows through you, the easier it is to identify what brings you the greatest joy, and make choice from that perspective while letting go of the rest.
The key to seeing your way toward that leap in consciousness is through the gift of empowered action . Allowing Joy
When we feel the joy of our soul's expression, and make choice from that inner stance of knowing what we desire, we naturally make the choice for more joy. The more often we make choice by feeling into our joy as we go, a kind of optimism becomes us because we are honoring our heart's desire. Joy is incredibly infectious. It's not just the giddiness of a new love or the thrill of a surprise. Joy is the ultimate peace. Joy is the fuel that launches any manifestation because it comes straight from the heart. And with that, joy brings a sense of belonging, purpose and fulfillment to life because whatever we can imagine becomes a limitless flow. Any expression of empowered choice invokes for release even the most hidden fear in the body. Joy heals the breech between lack and abundance. It sets right all that was out of balance and puts one in non-linear space and time where all is possible that can be imagined into creation. Joy is what allows us to gain entry through the inner gateway that is now open to all who drop into the stillness. Most importantly, the expression of unbridled joy is exactly right for the times. With fear running rampant in so many aspects of our human family, joy is the greatest counter-balance to fear. Global transformation is a deeply personal cosmically orchestrated experience and the shift will come about because we are each making the choice for joy from our own individual viewpoints.That's what makes the collective impact of the shift in consciousness so powerful. Strong, empowered action on the individual level--the micro-cosm mirrors the macro cosm--exponentially strengthens the whole. Courage to make the shift It takes great courage to choose love over hate or compassion where there is unforgiveness because one must set aside one's defenses in the face of such harshness but it's what is needed if you are to begin to make empowered choice. There are just two steps to this process: 1) to experience the feeling you don't want then compare that feeling to the one you do want; 2) then make the choice to fully embrace the feeling that moves you closer to your desired goal. You may choose to move slowly or incrementally at first until you are secure in your choice or you may choose to take the leap and never look back. There is no right nor wrong way to create movement in your life. Given the magnitude of self-inflicted pain in this world, choosing to embrace joy while holding others who are still struggling with fear in appreciation is the ultimate act of selfless service. May you choose ever so wisely the feeling for your life from this day forward.
Love and honor to you,

February is a time for remembering who we are and making the choice for how we wish to move forward in our lives. The tide of global change is beginning to play out much like the fall of 2008 with the economic downturn, but this time the tide will move toward political and social upheaval.
The rotational shift of the earth's axis is shifting and changing our center of gravity. The atmosphere is getting lighter and our sense of time is speeding up. Learn hands on techniques for staying centered, aware and focused on your own energy system. Step into the awareness of non-linear time and space by learning how to drop deep inside self.
