New Year doldrums

Posted on 2:44 AM by Unknown

So many of us are finding the beginning of this year challenging. So many of us are finding that we are here but not here. Working but not yet focused. Searching. Seeking. And it seems to be a universal feeling –  people I have spoken to from different parts of the world seem to be feeling overwhelmed. So what is going on? Why is there such a heaviness in the air? Why are so many people struggling to get going this year?
My spirit mother says it’s because we are in transition. We’re in the process of ending lots of things that we no longer need and want so we can begin anew. And for many of us that’s very difficult because we like to moan about what we don’t want rather than  projecting our energy to what we want.
To give more if we want to receive. To share more if we ant to open up to be given more. To recognize that each one of us has a responsibility to be the best we can be and to project the best aspect of ourselves out into the Universe so we can shift the negative cycle that is happening right now.
Last night I listened to Marianne Williamson being interviewed by Edward Mills from The Shift Network. And what struck me about their conversation was when Marianne said we need to collaborate and love more rather than compete and fight. We need to shed the scarcity mentality that makes us believe in order for us to gain, we have to take from someone else or hide our success from others. Instead we need to accept that the Universe is not only self organizing but it is self correcting as well. Allowing more for all us if we share.
She reminded me that when we meet our negative circumstance such as bankruptcy, having no job, tragedy, loss, etc, with negative thinking, we will face a downward spiral. But if we change our outlook to positive by accepting we are a being of spirit, our circumstances will automatically correct themselves. While in the midst of limited circumstance, if we think unlimited thoughts, we will transform our circumstance.
If we really want to move from a perspective of fear, we need to pray for a miracle. We need to look to a power beyond our thought systems to do what we want to do. We need to not be afraid to ask for help. We need to say every day before we get out of bed and every night when we go to bed, “ Dear God (or whomever or whatever you relate to) use me in anyway necessary and then surrender.
Let’s try this to see if we can shift our energy because we really need it now. We really need to understand the world is about all of us; not just about each one of us as individuals. Meditate and pray every day for the betterment of us all, for the knowledge that there is enough abundance for us all, to  learn to be grateful for all that we have, to shift out of the doldrums and move into the unlimited possibility readily available to us all. I’m going to try accepting I must be the change I want to see.
