Watch where you put your attention, what you wish for, where you focus your energy. There is a tendency to be drawn to that which is brassy, violent, absurd or to that which makes the most noise, to get attracted to something that is simply a waste of energy. In reality there is another kind of energy, perhaps far better to attach to, the behind-the-scenes, slowing flowing energy, like water seeping along at a steady pace, drop by drop making lasting inroads in its silent way.

Changing times are indeed here, but not all change is the right kind; not all is worthy of attaching to. Look within for guidance, for what feels right to engage in, for what the heart says is right. Even in the season of autumn, when things are dying and turning inward, there is new life stirring. It’s just happening in a different way.

Change is happening all the time. Have no doubt about that. But there might just be something happening at a different, more subtle level, that you are missing. Question everything.

Trust what you know. Sometimes all you need is your own instinct to guide you correctly. Sometimes the ideas of others just cloud your thoughts, influencing you negatively, blocking your own knowing, affecting your decisions adversely. Sometimes you have more than enough knowledge to make a wise decision on your own.

Dare to know yourself on a deepening level, taking to heart each day’s missives from the deeper self who knows all. Learn to trust this knowing, dependable self. It is your own best guide, speaking to you through your body, your heart, and your soul.

In calmness hear it speak. You will be glad you did, especially as you test it again and again and discover that it does indeed know all!

What should you do with the restless energy? Notice how it makes you feel. Notice also what is happening around the world, the unrest, the chaos, the violence. Study it. Ask your spirit to guide you to right action, to empty mind, to pure thought and deed, and to avoid the chaos and confusion now sweeping the world. Do not allow it to sweep through you.

Keep calm and centered, focused on your path of heart. It is the only thing that will bring the change so necessary and the change you so desire. It is your only choice at this moment in time if you are to remain in alignment with nature, for it is the season of retreat and preparation for what is to come. Don’t try to control or manipulate anything; you won’t succeed. Follow nature’s model and fall into alignment, draw inward, and remain calm.

Do you like to have control? Sometimes you just can’t. Sometimes life happens. When it does the best defense may be no defense at all. Just let life happen. See where it takes you. You might consider that it’s all part of the plan. And what plan would that be? Your own soul’s plan to get you to a new level perhaps, to lead you to a new stage, to introduce you to someone or something new. Sometimes the best things happen unplanned. Sometimes life just happens and it’s the best thing to come along in a long time. So relax a little and see where life takes you. Stop controlling so much and see what happens!
