Sacred Relationships and Connection

My sincere apologies for being so silent these past few months. I have had my hands full helping so many during these increasingly interesting times. (And, YES, I most certainly AM still doing my private counseling, Weddings and the like. I have received quite a few calls and emails lately asking if I was still counseling. OMG, this year marks my 30th anniversary, and I intend to do 30 more! I L-O-V-E my work and feel so blessed helping you thru your challenges.)

Writing my column for you is one of my heartfelt delights, and missing the opportunity to connect with you leaves a void in my life - which is the perfect segue way into this months topic, Connection.

We are in amazing times dear friends. For instance, August 8th, 2008 was a huge day for our planet. The opening of the Olympics, the largest number of marriages ever performed worldwide, a day prophesied to be amazingly auspicious and one wrought with cautionary tales. The number 8 in Numerology generally represents wealth, opportunity, sudden fortune, prosperity, and abundance.

So how does Connection fit into this scenario? We are all currently experiencing the most interesting set of energies, tugging at us, challenging us, opening pathways of opportunities never experienced by anyone before, bringing up fears and demanding that we decide, once and for all, what we will choose to accept/participate in, from here on out - Pick a side as it were. The resounding, repeating theme is; What do you really want your life to be? And these energies will intensify between now and 2012. (More on that next month in my new Blog.)

Connection - connection to those we love, activities that bring us joy, expansive experiences, heartfelt dreams and long-held goals are more important than ever. I have heard so many people say recently that they are feeling disconnected from their joy, from others, their sense of belonging and life in general. We have become a world of Human Doings, not Human Beings, with frenetic doing making up for the unsettling feeling that something is very wrong or missing.

Relationships are suffering also, as too many people are pulling away from their friends and loved ones, retreating to a seemingly safe place, you know, going into your cave and hunkering down for what may come.

Many are experiencing a lot of strange physical symptoms, as if their body is having trouble dealing with the increasing frequencies; Headaches, Vertigo, Heart Palpitations, Fatigue, and many other sensations not normally experienced. There is too much fear, focusing on what is bad/wrong/awful, and not enough focus on solutions.

Essentially, we have too many unhappy campers out there! Our world is in a state of flux. Things are not as certain as they once were, you know, back in the good old days. There are many who feel off balance, and out of sorts. Remember, what you put your attention on expands - good or bad - so start focusing on solutions.

Please remember that the future has NOT HAPPENED YET; we all have the power and ability to affect the future in a positive manner. You have heard from me, and so many others, for years that we create our reality, our world and our future! This is NOT the time to ignore that fact. We have an amazing opportunity to create more grace, love, solvency, stability, peace, and connection on our beautiful planet than we have ever experienced before. The Scientists and Quantum Physicists are backing us up now, with all the research findings showing how we ALL affect the whole, the Quantum.

So what do we do to get thru all the challenges so many are currently experiencing?

So glad you asked! I feel there are some simple, yet profound, things you can do on a daily basis that will help you connect with your joy, power and control over your destiny.

How to effectively surf the wave of these current energies:
  • Visualize your ideal life everyday, and have your family/friends do the same
  • Acknowledge the fact that we are all energetically connected
  • Practice Sacred Relationship connection
  • Accept that things are changing, and do not resist the changes; remember, what you resist persists
  • Stop watching all the negative news
  • Stay informed, but NOT inundated with the problems plaguing our planet
  • Focus on what you can do to improve your life, your community, and the world, as appropriate and within your means/ability
  • Concentrate on what you have control over, not what you do not
  • Celebrate the love you share with your partner
  • Focus on what brings you joy
  • Make a concerted effort to play more
  • Practice Gratitude for all the blessings in your life, however small
  • Communicate your feelings of love and appreciation to all the special people in your life
  • Be kind and gentle with yourself
  • Rekindle the child-like optimism you once felt
  • Play the What If Game and accept only uplifting outcomes
  • Read books and listen to tapes that feed your soul
  • Surround yourself with upbeat, like-minded friends
  • Reconnect with long lost friends that enhance the quality of your life
  • Move within Community, and if you are not a part of one, start one or find one that resonates with you
  • Open your mind to the infinite possibilities available to you
  • Revisit your goals/dreams and make sure they still reflect who you are now and who you are becoming
  • Expand your expectations, of yourself and others

Blessings
