The Rude Awakening is HERE N.Z. Meeting your Dragons (aka Fears).

21/10/2021

Picture
There is always two sides to every story been told and many perspectives of truth but does any of that really matter to the dragon ? Time to find out. 

The question is not what is the truth, the question is what is your truth that is deep within you longing to be listened to, heard and honoured moving forward , what are the lies, limitations, past traumas and soulful gifts now ready to be revealed and set free within your own psyche ?

Now is the moment in our human evolutionary story to make it a priority above all else to take good care of your mental and emotional well being. This is required so you can stay grounded, centred and steady in mind body spirit and can weather the outer storms of upset, intrigue, debates, disturbance, distractions, overwhelms and confusion.

It is so important at this time that you can be deeply discerning of what resonates for you and your body and life and for those around you ( especially the littler ones ), NZ and our global earth humanity community.

If you like to be reminded of a bigger picture unfolding that reminds you that your life is happening for you and not against you ultimately then read on. 

" The most important decision we make is if we live in a friendly or hostile universe " Albert Einstein. Depending on what you have aligned your attitude with, you can exchange the universe in this quote to mean how you view the earth, humanity and your own body. Do you belief these to be friendly or hostile places to live ? This is such a incredible enlightening and clarifying question to reflect upon. Once understood, it can make sense of so much of the patterns that happens in ones life experiences. For each of us is the common denominator within our life's experiences ! ! ! 

THE BIGGER PICTURE is that these epic evolutionary times is our personal, national and global collective humanity awakening out of a old survival consciousness and into a new way of being on this planet. A way of HUman 'BEING' rather than so much Human 'Doing'. A way which is trust worthy, healed, aligned, loving, thriving, in-tune,  vital and harmonious custodians of oneself , each other and the planet.

" The future is the past healed ".

However right now there is a collective rude awakening happening . We ( humanity or those of us choosing within humanity ) must awaken to the worshipping of false gods on false thrones and alters. We must become aware of where we have given so called outer entities or representatives our power of choice, esteem and a higher authority and made them boss and surrogate parents.

We must stop turning our backs on our authentic inner self and start making friends with the one we see in the mirror. Rather than covering them up with make-up and jewels and new hair do's and working out at the gym and what ever else we do to avoid connecting truly with the one behind those eyes. ( Of course there is nothing wrong with any of these actions, only when they become addictive, driven from deep insecurities and to avoid rather than serve to be truly uplifting, joyful, creative and empowering behaviours ).

We must heal all our inner child stuff from yester~years pain and disenchantments that has been left unacknowledged, unresolved and unloved, hiding out in the shadows of our psyches individually and collectively.

We must stop running on all kinds of excuses to stay busy and not be alone with our own company.

Yes, it is time we each become our own best friend and then makes friends with our bodies, minds, life and then we can extend that genuinely to one another without agenda or neediness.

It is time to reclaim our inner authority to reparent oneself and move beyond the fears and limiting ideas / beliefs / insecurities / lack mentalities and conditioning of the past.

We must be finally willing to turn every stone that still holds the memory of abuse and forgive the unforgiven so that stone can finally be set free and we don’t pass it onto the next generation.

Life is a inner to outer game of transformation. " We are the ones we had been waiting for "  ! 

What if all of the outer commotions, debating, holy crap, confusions and overwhelmed and so on is exactly what is required to finally wear down the ego mind and identity hats worn until it becomes mind boggled ( can’t take it anymore ). Ahhhh what if this is exactly what it takes for the ego to be willing to pause and listen to the calling from the heart to surrender 'my will for thy will ' to go within more to connect with ones own authentic essence and thus over time come into harmony with oneself; body mind and soul.

There, all will be restored into a new glory of a heavenly earth experiences from within to without. Yes it all begins within you dear scared incredible HU-man. The game is up and it is time to face yourself, the final frontier !

In the yoga communities for many years now, stories have come out about many glorified and highly esteemed teachers that used their position to coerce and manipulate their students insecurities and other resources available to them.  Another element to the " Me too " movement you may or may not have heard of.

This shocked many in the yoga communities who worshipped these teachers bowing before them. To humble one self is very different to putting someone else on a pedestal. 

The greater message for the yoga community is to remember that Yoga is simply a pathway to becoming your own Guru ( to recognise the student and the master teacher ) within. The outer teacher or Guru is just a guide to point you in the direction of your empowerment and expansion. When the teacher fails to do this, then it is time to simply move on and continue your journey of evolution and meet new guides and pointers along the way perhaps. 

One way or another the truth must unveil itself for us so we can awaken and make new choices. Currently the time is now for enmasse for humanity can stop worshipping false entities above our own sacred hearts and soulful connection which is a reflection of where we simply don't listen and trust ourselves within.

This dynamic has been revealing itself in religious orders over many years and decades. Now, naturally it is revealing itself in other areas that we the people have handed over for generations and generations our own divine right authority to be and take responsibly for our life’s and choices and freedoms.

I often point out to people that we learnt to divide ourselves at a young age. The priest took over our spiritual health, the teacher our sense of intelligence; Mental well-being and the Medical system our physical body well-being.

Now for the awakening heart, these must be reclaimed as you realise and accept you are your highest answer. You must relearn to listen to the feeling biofeedback language of your body, you must be witness to your mind until it becomes your creative tool of thought and focus and you must take time daily to connect with your spirit ~ soul inner guidance.

As Yeshua ( Jesus ) shared over two thousand years ago “ the keys to heaven lay within “ “ knock and the door shall open “ “ be as a child to enter the kingdom “ which means be the open innocent heart again and release all the heavy judgements, guilts and shames etc

Each person has a choice to become more of the harmonious energy being contributed or the disharmonious energy via every thought word and action taken on earth at this time.

Much of this has been unconscious up until now. The 'grand awakening of consciousness' is to become conscious of your own consciousness that thinks and feels and acts in certain ways ( patterns ) that creates certain experiences.
When this becomes more and more conscious then you become empowered to choose new thoughts and new actions ( behaviours ) that take you into new experiences you prefer rather than into a default experience you do not prefer.

The mind will always makes things seem so complex. Truly it is not , it is so simply the mind will call it to be too easy and that cannot be the solution.

" Simply does not mean easy usually ".

It begins with taking a few deep breaths that switches on your para sympathetic nervous system.

It takes relaxing your shoulders and feeling your feet on the earth.

It takes a little focus and breathing into your heart space as it expands more breath and awareness and you can listen more to that which is already within you.

" The heart is the gateway to the soul ".

Meditate more and you won’t require the meds or outer interventions so much as your body mind soul harmonises more and more each day.

It takes practice and dedication. It is a choice that comes from a desire for change.

So when one is done with the mental and emotional and physically suffering this opens up the desire for change.
From this perspective can you see how the chaos and confusion and uncomfortableness of our outer world may be serving us to spent more time daily going within to connect with our authentic self ( eternal essence / spark of the divine or what ever you like to call it ) ! ? !

Hold compassion in your heart as we ( humanity uniquely and collectively ) awaken more and more from the apathy of not feeling good enough or empowered in our life's to create real change that we wanted to create.
Anger and rage Is a natural part of this awakening journey as each persons begins to reclaims their divine right self dignity and self responsibility to create their life’s destiny.

Healthy anger creates a inner fire that gives us the fuel and determination to blaze through the inertia and make the changes beckoning our names as a priority. The mind will come up with a thousand and one reasons it does not have time or it can't right now. So that fire of passionate determination will be required at times.

The awakening is taking the journey home from head to heart and allow the heart to led the head.

The heart is awakening and expanding into a new birthing and becoming of humanity. Just like the fern I took a picture while out in our Hanmer Springs heritage forest riding the mountain biking tracks.

“ Be the change you want to see in the world “ become it from within and you will start to see it get reflected back to you from the outer world !

​This is the greater universal physics and laws of how we create our life experiences. How exciting that so many are now awakening to this new expansive and empowering awareness and understanding of life on earth.  We can choose more consciously our thoughts, communications and actions to be in alignment with what we truly wish to experience and contribute to on a soulful embodied level through our earthly expressions and impact.
