Shifts happen all the time, inside and outside. Sometimes they are noticeable, like moon phases, sometimes they are so subtle you are barely aware, like a gentle breeze passing by. Sometimes you might take note at their significance. Other times you might miss their meaning, but all outward shifts are as important and meaningful as inner shifts, bringing messages to be heeded, for this is how the universe signals you, supports you, urges you onward, and assists you on your journey, offering a course correction, a new beginning, a shift in plans, a jolt to the heart, a tweak here, a twist there. Watch for the shifts as they come. Apply their meaning to where you are in your life and to what is happening in the moment they occur. Everything is meaningful.

We are enjoying an autumn retreat from work and routine this week, but will be posting our daily Soulbytes and Chuck will also be posting a blog tomorrow. Here is today’s Soulbyte:

Don’t forget that you are a changing being, that every moment of every day offers a new opportunity to volitionally change or to accept the changes that come naturally, uncalled for yet there nonetheless. Though you may sit and wait for change to find you, don’t sit for too long for it has already found you. Get up and go meet it. Find it everywhere, in everything around you and in you. For yes, you are a constantly changing being, in your mind, in your body, in your moods, in your spirit, in your world within and without. You have the power to create and recreate the self at any time, in simple or complex ways. It’s up to you how you go about it, but you have to make the first gesture. So just do it, and with change along you always have a ready and willing partner!

New moon, new energy, new era, new beginnings, new you—if you make it so. Seeds can be planted all year long and with intent the fruits of your labors harvested repeatedly. For you are of nature and yet you also have your own nature, as powerful as Mother Nature. Your own nature may overpower you at times, but it is up to you to take back your power. You are never powerless. You are only temporarily unaware that you have any. Stir it up with the new moon energy and get it back into alignment with the seeds you are about to plant, for even though Mother Nature is heading into dormancy don’t be fooled. There is plenty of opportunity for life to grow anew. Your temporary powerlessness is about to get a big boost of energy. Grab it and run with it. New life depends on it. Wake up and get planting new seeds of new life. There is no time like now!

Stay connected to that which is of the utmost importance no matter what comes up, no matter where you are or who you are with, and that is your heart center. From this place speak, act, and do on behalf of the self, for it is the evolutionary progress of the self that is of utmost importance. That means that if you can stay connected to the journey of change that you are on and advance each day all else will eventually fall into place, all else that is truly worthy will become part of your journey. Focus on your heart center, not as a pining heart but as a guiding heart, a patient heart that knows all, loves you, and is all that you need at this moment on your journey—yourself.

When you get out of your head and into your heart things change. Your heart does not ask why or how or who or what, it simply is. It beats out the rhythms of life, pulses with the planet, flows with the rivers of life. It is at one with you and all beings, for it does not discriminate, judge, or care about anything except life and spirit and all that naturally is. Take to your heart. Without question reside there more often. Your true happiness resides there, your true love, your true calmness, and your true Self. It is all you really need, the beat of your own heart teaching you all you need to know. Go there. And then see what happens.
