Your piece of the puzzle is becoming more evident to you each day as your self worth and self respect is growing in intensity leaving behind the old paradigm of fear. The heart center is expanding to express greater amounts of compassion, kindness and unconditional love. The intuitive/psychic center is expanding to perceive greater insights. The physical body is increasing its need for higher quality nourishment to feed and fuel our ever changing cells. It is truly a time of personal and global transformation.

With all these changes comes sensitivity. The psychic/intuitive body is closely aligned with our emotional body and that increases our emotional sensitivity. This is why we often feel moody, off balance, spacey, sleepy, overwhelmed, irritated or impatient. The vessel that you are is expanding to become a larger vessel for the flow of information. Each stage of expansion requires us to adjust ourselves so that we remain open to further expansion.

Here are some simple guidelines to support this expansion:

• Breathe deeply for release and energy. Breath is life and affects our vitality and willingness to be alive in our body.

• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of good quality water as water bathes our cells and is part of our energy management.

• Eat wholesome, healthy foods rich in nutrients that are life sustaining (not life robbing).

• Connect with nature for balance. Enjoy the beauty of plants, trees, water, sky and the symphony of sounds produced by birds, bees, cicadas,frogs, crickets and so many more. Nature is our tuning fork and our grounding rod.

• Meditate to relax the mind and explore your inner space through quiet listening and stillness.

• Create healthy boundaries. Sometimes we are exposed to dense, heavy or negative energy in people or the environment. You can manage the energy you process through your body without judging by using this affirmation technique:

  • "I release and let go all unbalanced energy to be neutralized.

  • I choose to be centered, balanced and grounded in my body and being".

• Use grounding techniques to utilize the energy of the Earth.

  • Place your attention on your feet and imagine roots extending deep into the belly of Mother Earth. Breathe the earth energy up through your feet through each chakra to above the crown. Then reverse it by bringing in the Universal Life force down through each chakra to the feet and into the Earth.

This process of awakening our awareness invites us all to fully express the gift that we each are. It is timely now to celebrate who we are as significant contributors to Life on this planet. We are all here on purpose to shine our Light and express the Love that is the Truth of our being.
