The prospect of change can induce excitement but also fear. Fear of change is natural and yet fear also constricts and brings with it a whole host of other issues. Allow change into your life, for it is inevitable. It is necessary and it may be the only reason you grow. If you are not a natural instigator of change then change will come to you in its own unorganized way and you will have to deal with the consequences. If you plan for change, instigate change, and prepare for change, things may or may not work out as you wish but at least you will be in step with change. Allow for the possibility of change and anticipate the excitement that will accompany it. Face your fears and embrace the newness. Welcome change into your life as a great opportunity for advancement in a new direction and happily open your arms and mind to what lies ahead.

Sending you love,

You live in complicated times but also in times of great possibility. Keep an open heart and look always for ways to ground yourself in your body, your vehicle of transportation during your lifetime. Find time to be in nature, which can be as simple as looking up at the clouds during the day or the dark sky at night. Spend time in greenery if you have it near you; notice what grows around you, what nurtures you in nature. Assign yourself each day to a grounding practice, perhaps walking and feeling the energy of the earth beneath you, which only wants your health and well being at all times. Pray for peace, health and prosperity for all beings as you ground yourself and walk your path of heart. Things are changing rapidly now. Keep up.

Sending you love

Reluctance to make a move allows fear to take over. Fear restricts, holds back and makes reluctance look easy. For once fear takes over other problems arise, worry and anxiety, and eventually depression sets in. Negative emotions lead to a negative outlook on life and negative outcomes ensue. By looking at the original reluctance, and finding out why it’s there and what’s behind it, a whole avalanche of problems can be averted. Far better to face the initial reluctance, to move beyond it so that life may proceed in a more positive direction. Why not take a chance on being open to something new? It’s possibly just what you need!

Resentment is a heavy weight to carry, a burden best left by the wayside. If everything is part of the bigger picture of life, then resentment has no place except as a part of that picture, neatly fitting in to teach something. Take the lesson and learn its significance and then move on to the next lesson. A refusal to learn and grow allows things such as resentment to grow and fester in place of the learning and thus it is merely a blockage, and not a helpful one at that. What lesson does resentment teach? How to let go, for one. How to detach from a situation without any strings attached, and perhaps it also teaches the beginnings of love and compassion. For the ultimate goal is to embrace love and compassion for all, and to truly do that all blockages must be freed, including resentment.

You can only resist the call of spirit for so long; eventually you will have to pay attention. Resistance is futile when the body can no  longer uphold its defenses, when the mind can no longer deny, and when the emotions can no longer hold back their inevitable flood. There comes a point in every life when the calls for change, long coming, can no longer be denied. When that time comes the best resource is to turn to help from your spirit self, your High Self. Ask for guidance in how best to proceed. Keep your heart and mind open and acquiesce to the truth that something else is pushing you in a new and different direction and it’s time to embrace it.
