There can be
no denying that this is a time of great shift and change; from the tiniest atom
to the most majestic mountain, everything is shifting, moving and evolving. Of
course, this has been the way since the dawn of time, but things seem to have
intensified and quickened now.
As each of us
continues to embrace change, like the drifting continents and the growing
mountains, we are evolving and expanding both within and without. In many ways
this suggests a slow and gradual process, but when looked at in the terms of
Universal time, this is but the blink of an eye, and in this particular blink
of an eye we are changing beyond recognition!
Life presents
challenges to face and mountains to climb, but as we continue to move mountains
we can see that we are creating our very own snow capped mountain range with
its own beauty and majesty. In other words, our efforts are reaping benefits,
and whilst it feels like a long and drawn-out process, things are changing.
As we now
take another step forward on the path ahead, there is a feeling of hope and
optimism rising up and welcoming us like the rays of a new dawn. The waves of
change are not always easy waves to ride, and there are times when we may feel
like the ebbs are pulling us off-course or worse, but with strength and focus,
we realise that we can move beyond the eddies, to the stillness and peace of
the mountains.
Of course,
even the mountains move and shift, for nothing ever stays the same, but in the
relative stillness of the mountain air we can collect our thoughts, re-focus
and begin to gain a truer sense of Self. As we gaze at the magnificence of our
very own inner Himalayas, we can celebrate at the monumental journey that we
have made to Self. Whilst this journey is on-going, this doesn’t mean that we
cannot take a while to breathe in the mountain air and be thankful for all that
we have.
As we pause
to gaze at the awe-inspiring site of the mountains, we can see the many inner
walls that we have broken down, the rivers that we have re-directed and the
dams that we have allowed to run free in the process. With each passing day we
have taken a step closer towards Self and a breath nearer bliss. The sight of
the mountains is a sign that we have reached a milestone within, for we have
opened up to the power of our intention and the Truth of our existence.
It is
important to realise that we have not been sitting powerlessly on the sidelines
of life waiting for this to happen though; we need to acknowledge our own role
in the process, for it is through our own grit and determination that we now
find ourselves in a different world.
The key to
expanding the beauty and strength of the world within, to the world without, is
to nurture, nourish and tend on every level of our Beings. It is time to let go
of self-judgment, negative thinking, fears and lack and to step beyond feeling
frozen in a paralysis between head and heart.
Opening up a clear and honest dialogue within is the first step for we
need to reclaim the responsibility for how we think, feel and manifest. Whilst
we may not be able to control every aspect of what happens in life, we do have
control over how we react, and this is where we need to focus our intentions
now.
We then need to let go of feelings of guilt, anger or shame in connection
to the realisation that we have allowed ourselves to become consumed by
negative feelings and lack; we are human, and sometimes we need to travel along
a certain path to realise that another path is the ‘right’ one for us. Blame
and shame, fear and lack all come from the same place, and they feed a cycle of
restriction; the time has now come to break this cycle and change it to one of
growth and expansion. The time has come to no longer see molehills as
mountains, but to see them for what they truly are. Truth is not always an easy
path to embrace, but it is the only true path to Self.
How we think and feel is the force that shapes and moves the mountains
within; when we connect to the true breathtaking magnificence of this energy,
we feel awakened; refreshed and renewed, and it is this energy that we need to
embrace now. The more we open ourselves up to be awakened, the more consciously
we live in the present moment and the more we can embrace bliss in every
possible way.
It is time to stand on those mountains and welcome a new day; one filled
with hope, optimism, love and divinity...
