Community

For me these past few weeks have been all about community and letting go.  I am starting to have a much clearer idea about what I want to be doing with my life, but it is nevertheless an enormous leap of faith to move away from a business I have created and nurtured myself and which I have been working on for many years.  There have been days when I’ve wobbled and thought it is insane, particularly when it comes to putting bread on the table for my family. Nevertheless I am compelled by the notion that I want to heal, need to heal even, I want to write and, more importantly I want to be involved somehow as a catalyst for positive change on our planet. To make a difference in some small way.  I have been spending less time in unfulfilling activities and relationships and instead have walked the legs of my poor dog, sung my head off and laughed a lot.  I seem to be attracting many new people into my life who are experiencing the same energies as me, who understand the fantastic changes in my life.

I went to my first Reiki share, which was a wonderful experience.  It was really good to chat with others and to see how they instinctively they worked.  I found it very liberating and it gave me the reassurance to trust my own intuition during a treatment. My fabulous, fabulous Reiki master also firmly put all my worries about taking on other people’s energies to bed, explaining that whilst I might be aware of their energy I was under absolutely no obligation to take it on myself and that I should not be afraid.  It has been a great relief to be able to notice other people’s energies, but to make the distinction between what is theirs and what is mine.  This simple strategy has been very simple to put in place and has had an immediate effect.

Every day I acquire and chat with new friends all across the globe who are having similar experiences. People whose lives seem to be have been turned into turmoil and who are also abandoning everything and going with the flow rather than fighting against what seems inevitable. In a constant quest to learn more I chat to people on Facebook, surround myself with likeminded people who inspire me on Twitter, have dived into #spiritchat discussions, I’ve joined a fantastic Cosmic Circle through whom I’ve learned some great new meditation techniques, and have registered as a volunteer for a distant healing network.  I’m convinced that social networking is all part of God’s strategy to tease out a new collective consciousness, an improved way of interacting and of taking responsibility for the future of our planet. 

I have experienced dreams and meditations the like of which I have never known before in my life, dreams I couldn’t even start to describe as the right words don’t exist, dreams in glorious technicolour with full-on wrap-around sound.  For the past while the same idea keeps cropping up, and I know I’m going to have to explore it in more detail.  To start with it was just a gentle prompt to imagine my world as it might look without all the things that make life difficult, sad, gloomy or which are just plain wrong. What a delicious way to spend half an hour as you’re waking up in the morning or drifting off to sleep at night.  Then, regularly and more pointedly, the question keeps popping into my head, over and over, ‘What if the law of attraction is not just about manifesting things on an egotistical basis? What if the intention from the outset was for the law of attraction to be used by a collective consciousness, a community of souls, to make this planet a better place, to manifest the change required to heal the very many things that are wrong at the moment?’ 

And therein lies the rub, because those of you who know me will also know that up to this point in time I haven’t had the greatest results in manifesting things. Probably because the things I’ve tried to bring into my life have been for selfish reasons.  I guess I have some learning to do.  We may all have some learning to do.
