Change often comes unbidden and yet once it arrives its necessity is clear. If we are stuck and unable to move ourselves in a new direction some part of us or some outside force will prompt us to do so, either by force or circumstance. When change comes greet it with open arms, for it will return equilibrium to life, rearranging things so that they are in better balance, remaking things in a new pattern. Change is always good, though it may take some time to fully realize this and to realize that it has always been in the making as well.

Maintain an open channel with your Spirit, being careful to keep it open at all times. This takes practice and awareness of what that feels like, how you two communicate and the best way to keep it open for you in particular. Does your Spirit speak to you? Or does your Spirit communicate in some other way, giving you signs, symbols, sounds? Keep the connection honed so that you are always available to each other. In this manner you always know you have someone with you to guide, protect and help you.

Sending you love,

Stay on the path of balance that you have set out upon. Maintain stability and equanimity within yourself. Remain committed to honing the self in as many ways as possible, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Do not be too hard on the self, for flexibility is a major ability as you grow and change. For instance, if one thing isn’t working for you try another. The ability to be focused but fluid, to be intent but in the flow of life, is by far one of the most desirable. For balance implies just that, a constant shifting, the ability to be supple and engaging, light as a feather in the air but also as solid as the bird from whom that feather fell. Find your balance every day and go forth with the knowledge that you are enough.

As the day unfolds, notice your energy. When is it strong and flowing and when is it flagging? When is your mind clear and your intuition strong? Are you naturally more present and alert in the morning and less so in the afternoon? Schedule important things around high energy times and save self-contemplation for quieter energy times. Everyone has a natural ebb and flow of their personal energy. Have you studied your own, and are you going with the flow of it or are you fighting against it?

Times of great change that come unbidden yet seem well-timed, offer the opportunity to shift away from old patterns and behaviors. They offer the opportunity to begin life anew. Every leaving is a new beginning. Every break with something old is the start of something new. Do not mourn endings too much but look forward to what is to come. For surely you can count on life to continue to guide you forward in a new direction even as it guides you to halt progress in a direction that no longer serves you. It just means it’s time to head along a new and better path.
