Wow weee we are definitely into this year with only 15 days it is a new time, meeting those challenges with great expectation, not holding back. Things have been definitely moving in a powerful way, using our voice being clear on our intention as to what it is we want. We can no longer hide our empowerment, we have to stand up to be totally authentic with who we are. It is our time. The financial is really on the paramount time we have in this election. Watching the news with all the dooms day news isn't helping our general economy, rather like the Secret speaking what on terror creates the whole thing putting the energy in what we don't want rather then what we want to achieve. It is time to focus on the Grand new NOW speaking our truth, not hiding in anyway. However sometimes listening is the most powerful thing we can do, the dance is to know the difference, when to speak when to listen. With trauma sometimes we feel we must suffer in ourselves keeping it our secret, only to find it follows us around in a base way. So those times are over, we don't want to stay in the past but until we identify the trauma we don't have access to the healing. We must stop saying it doesn't matter, experience it then we can let it go. Our society says don't do that it is your suffering you become more spiritual more evolved if you have bunches of that.......NOT it is our time to jump over say it happened I choose different in the new NOW! Having a great sense of humor helps laugh the nonsense away. Understanding what strange people we are. We have been told life is hard, we have believed that so we keep recreating those challenging positions to make is so. So with the information that is available, from Wayne Dyer, Deepak, Ester Hicks, The Secret, we have new to most of us info. It is so simple to keep moving in a positive way, using our own practises what ever that is. Conquering the mind is a challenge at first but once you get the hang of it it gets easier and easier. When I went to see Amma a few years ago she said, "Don't Worry, don't worry, " I am only now understanding that. I was so programmed to worry, first being a single parent, a built in line of worry, then opening a business, which wasn't a problem before, but having confirmation from unexpected source saying I would fail, played into my worry.........always thinking they knew something I didn't. I now realize that isn't true at all, we are where we are suppose to be with much guidance and support. Being part of the Mt Shasta spiritual community is where we belong. Starting in 1978 putting prayers down each time coming up to my final move 1998, once my boys were raised. Already being part of the greater community, then having Mt Shasta Herb & Health, a great gratitude for the power greater then us. The beginning of our ownership we were both in awe as to how this all happened. We use to meditate downstairs for 3 yrs. a Buddhist meditation, I would have visions of Amma coming in blessing the group. I didn't give it much thought till after we owned the store, she hugging us, knowing there is a great force at action. It is still really amazing to me, starting our 5 yr. with good intentions for our beautiful Gratitude towards the divine that is part of our every breathe. Many changes have occurred forcing us to do what we need to do, no laying down, how can we teach if we are not willing to do our own work? It is time for all of us, to create that NOW!
