New energy comes each day on the wind. Will you let it in? Speaking of far away lands and places you have never been, carrying whispers, cries, dreams, and desires from the world of others, it reaches your ears. Can you hear it? If you listen closely you will recognize your own voice. You will smell the air from the land of your own dreams and you will know you are not alone, for the wind blows for all beings.

The air you breathe is part of all of you, the same world, the same life. Breathe today, and know that you are part of the greater whole. The wind will tell you all of this and more, if you listen, if you raise your vibration to hear its words of love and compassion, especially if you speak them too.

Your real power lies within. It is not physical prowess so much as steadiness and strength of spirit. It is not mental power so much as calmness and fluidity. It is not emotional decisiveness so much as gentleness and stability. It is not in suppression of your truths but in release of your truths so that all that you naturally are, a kind, compassionate, loving being, may be acceptable, to you first and foremost.

Love yourself for the true qualities you embody rather than for the false demands of a society that you strive to uphold and live out every day of your life to no gratification or fulfillment. That is not to say reject the world, but instead find new life on a new path in that same world, on a path of compassion, love, and kindness, turning inward as the means to changing the self and the world around you at the same time.

Begin with the self. Find out who you really are, what has meaning for you, and decide how you want to live. That is where you will access your power, your truly loving self, and new life.

You belong, first and foremost, to yourself, to your own journey, to your own life’s path. Though you may become entwined with others, your own soul’s journey must be figured out and dealt with, for are you not present in life for some purpose of your own?

Find anchoring in knowing just how important you are, a being on a journey of the soul. You are just as significant as the next person. All whom look upon you are equally as significant as all whom you look upon. Never forget this. All beings are on a journey of the soul.

Keep it simple. Stay grounded. Do not stray too far from the stability you have worked so hard to establish. Maintain your awareness, your dignity, your sense of power, that inner knowing of self and what is right, especially what is right for you personally at this time in your life.

Stay focused on what is good for you, for your spirit, for your inner work, even if you must disappoint or decline the expectations of another. Sometimes staying on the inside track is the right choice, though invitations from the outside track may arrive to draw you from your base.

Best advice: Keep it simple. Remain stable. Connect with the truth and stick with it. That doesn’t mean don’t engage and be engaging. It just means don’t go too far from your path with heart.

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.
