Making Sense of the Eclipses-Dawn Fleming

"I know that many times I am telling you to look at your stuff, process it, and release. I am getting a bit tired of hearing that song myself. I would like to focus on resources that we have within to adjust to the shifts and changes that are being pre-sent to us. As you will read in the article Making Sense of the Eclipses the rate of change that is speeding up beyond anything that we have ever experienced.

Many of us resist change because it makes us uncomfortable, leaves us in the unknown, or makes us feel anxious or insecure. Change does not always bring about bad things. It can be the catalyst for wonderful opportunities to present themselves to you. It can be the one thing that gets your attention long enough to assist you to take a new direction, to let go of activities or relationships that do not match where you are in life, to explore different areas of interest, or to engage in new relationships.

In most cases change offers us some sort of gift in the end. It might be the gift of more time as we are made to slow down. The gift may be a new job, a healthier outlook or more energy that comes from taking the opportunity that is being presented.

My first recommendation is to eliminate words that elicit fear and worry in your vocabulary. One word that falls into this category is ―problem.It seems that we want to label every-thing a problem whether it really is or is not. Several years ago I kept hearing the word being used to describe just about everything that was going on in our home. We discussed the over usage of this word and completely eliminated it from our vocabulary. It is very interesting to me that the newspaper recently reported that the words ―you’re welcome is not being used as often because it is being replaced by the words ―no problem.Are we really seeing the world through the eyes of ―problems? When you replace these words with those that empower you to address whatever the opportunity is before you, you enable yourself to move through the situation with ease and grace.
Another inner resource that you can activate in assisting you to work with the changes is your ability to choose where you focus your attention. Pay attention to where you mind is taking you and choose a positive image to focus on that supports and empowers you to move through the shifts and situations. By making the choice to focus on a positive image, you lift yourself up to see and receive the good that can result from this change. You take the blinkers of negativity off so you see from a broader perspective.

Choose an image to focus on that represents power, peace, strength, love, or whatever it is that you need to feel supported and safe. It might be an eagle, a star, a symbol of some sort, or a picture of you when you have felt at peace. What does that image mean to you? Align with all of the energies that you associate with it. Take this image with you wherever you go. You might even want to draw it and place it near your desk, kitchen, bathroom mirror, or any place where you will see it often.

As you feel the need to recenter your-self into a place of power and resourcefulness, hold the image in your mind. As you go through change reconnect with this image to support you in taking the steps that are necessary. One friend of mine lost a spouse after 24 years of marriage. As she was going through her healing process, the image she chose was a heart pendant that her husband had given her. It allowed her to feel strength and love as she stepped through the process of change. There are many places to focus your mind and heart. If you are not visual you can pick a mantra to focus and embody. It can be one word such as peace, crystal, love, etc. or it can be a phrase.
There are endless possibilities such as ―Love and wisdom are guiding me in each moment. I am inspired to move deeper and am open to this new opportunity.

An additional inner resource we can align with is gratitude. Looking at what you are grateful for, no mat-ter what is going on will empower you to move through any circumstance looking at what supports you versus what appears to challenge you. I have met several people that have lost their jobs in this economic downturn. What I heard from those who got back to work was that they never gave up, they were grateful for the help that they received, they were grateful for the love that others provided, and they were grateful for the opportunity to reflect on their lives and to have the opportunity to explore new areas. Some started volunteering and expressed how rewarding and fulfilling this was and they continued to do so after finding a new job.

A mind centered in gratitude opens the doors for continuous blessings to unfold. Gratitude builds our trust in life even when the lightning is striking all around us. Gratitude keeps us focused on knowing that as we move through life we receive blessings, gifts, and opportunities continuously that enrich our lives and give us opportunities to share, grow, and enhance the lives of others that we meet along the way.

When I look at the changes in my life, many at the time, appeared to be scary. I count the blessings for all the supportive people that held me in the Light, knowing that I would be fine even though they did not know what the outcome would be. As I embrace the changes that are occurring I focus on an image of a 12-pointed radiant star that holds all the wisdom that I need. I move forward in gratitude.
Many thanks and blessings,
Dawn Fleming

Love

There is no difficulty that enough Love will not conquer; No disease that enough Love will not heal; No door that enough Love will not open; No gulf that enough Love will not bridge; No wall that enough love will not throw down; No sin that enough Love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, How hopeless the outlook, How muddled the tangle, How great the mistake. A sufficient realization of Love will dissolve it all. If only you could Love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world-- Emmett Fox
