SUZANNE LUBKOWSKI: This is a time of immense change. We are being called to deepen our connection and our understanding about ourselves, about life and about our purpose for being here. Many of us have gone through traumas or experiences that have challenged us to our core. How we respond to these challenges is our choice.

Let's explore this from a deeper perspective. The humanness of us may respond by making life smaller and contract by staying safe. We may control or over analyze. We may hide from ourselves, from others and from the world staying in a protective bubble that keeps us safe on some level. If we responded this way, know that it is alright. We may need a time to regroup and reorganize our life. The challenge comes when we do not move out of this safe territory. We may become recluse or a hermit. It's important to know when the Inner Spirit within is prompting you to move from your comfort zone.

During this time, we may feel that the Universe is not friendly. Thoughts such as what did I do to deserve this pain may show up. Sometimes anger at God is a reaction. Again, making it OK is important. Allow the normal feelings and reactions to take place. As spiritual people, we may not allow the lower chakra feelings to move through us.

We may have been conditioned to believe that we need to stay positive, be spiritual and connect only with the spiritual side of us. By not allowing the lower chakra energy to be experienced in our body, we are doing ourselves and the world a disservice. Only when we acknowledge these feelings and experiences can we move to a fully actualized being. The chakras all work together as an integrated system. We become more and express more when we are able to allow what comes up and work through these to an integrated state. Many coaching processes are available such as Emotional Freedom technique to support this process.

Einstein said that we cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it and now more than ever before, we're being called to be in more of a co-creative process and partnership with the Universe. When we have moved to a place of compassion and being-ness with ourselves, we begin to experience a deep trust that life is good. This takes commitment. We begin to see the Universe as our partner. This takes a shift in consciousness. Moving through life's disappointments and coming to the other side of them begins the process of spiritual maturity. Our job is to move it forward. Within this be begin to feel safe in the Universe. We begin to see that there is a higher purpose within us that wants to come through us. We step out of the belief that we are alone and we have to do it all alone. We activate a knowing that the Universe deeply loves us. The desires of our hearts become clearer and they move through us to be expressed. We begin to ask questions like what does the Universe want to express through me. We begin to see ourselves as a conduit for this energy and this Life Force to be expressed through us.

In this understanding, we begin to appreciate the meaning of Jesus, the Master Teacher saying, "It is not I but the Father within who does the work." This allowing is when we begin to experience true fulfillment and true joy in our work.

We can begin today.

Well written Suzanne. Many circles say we are clearing the tramas of many generations back and into the future as well. Breathe into the emotional release and eventually you will recognize it as what it is. For spirit experiences here on this beautiful playground.
As we release what has been a bit lodged we make room for the delightful responses to life to activate. Oh my, isn't life grand!!
