The Big Shift

Dear Friends, Students & Community of like minded peoples!  Well......How'd it go?  You know, the BIG SHIFT! Ok, so I'm using words from Bob Banner, he created a Shift directory that is a comprehensive list of alternative healers here on the Central Coast. You can  check it our here The Shift Directory. I'm thinking about the BIg Shift, that we all made in so many ways over the past month. It's fun, and funny, at the same time to realize the relativity of everything. Today I'm seeing the shift in my personal space, taking the tree from inside to outside. I typically let it sit in my yard so I can enjoy it after the holiday season up to 3 months. I love the tree, not so much drying up inside the house, but totally adore it on my porch or in my yard where I can appreciate it for as long as possible! Shifting from gathering for the holidays, to detoxing in all ways, including letting go of the tree! Another experience of the Shift can be quite large, like what went down spiritually  as we ended  the Mayan Calendar!  ( And now we're beginning a new one!)  My point is that all is shifting, all the time, every moment, and sometimes the shifts seem magnificent and sometimes rather small. I feel like from a spiritual perspective it's great to actually appreciate, honor, and recognize the ongoing shifting that takes place always.  I've said this before, but even more than ever I am embracing it! This coming year the shift for me is going to be to embrace more independence as a parent who has raised two children. Learn to let go by watching, allowing, and giving them permission to flow and spread their wings more on their own. More Shifting will come by creating offerings through Prema Yoga. Offerings that are fully intended to support transformation of consciousness, spiritual development, and personal growth for all beings who wish to participate, or link in to the energy. I intend in 2013 to continue Shifting my perspective day by day as needed to see the beauty, and embrace the constant flow of life itself as it arrives and unfolds. How are you embracing the Shift? How are you allowing and releasing on a daily basis? How are you gifting yourself the gift of life, or the daily SHIFT... not the S H --! so that life is valued and honored.  Happy New Year and Blessings on this new leg that we have embarked on!  THE SHIFT  into 2013.. .

Below I have listed some ways to support your own SHIFT! Practice Creates Reality! No matter where you are now on a scale of knowing who you are and how you do life, Higher Awareness can help. Here's what you can do to continue shifting into higher awareness. Take control by more effectively managing your time and goals so you achieve the results you are hoping for Release negative emotional reactions and old ineffective thinking Stimulate your mind, creativity and intuition so you know how to trust yourself Explore spirituality or the bigger picture of your life.                      Shift in 5 minutes or less!   MEDITATE!! If I could name one thing that every single human being should be doing, this would be it. After eating, drinking water, and sleeping, this should be the next biggest priority in your life. Check out previous posts for how to meditate and what to expect, but basically, this is THE most effective way to cause a quantum leap in your energy vibration. When you stop thought, you stop negative thought, and Source energy can begin to flood through you. You'll FEEL it - deeper breathing, relaxed muscles (or the opposite with involuntary muscle movements, which just means you are releasing resistance), a flash of light, an intuitive hit or thought that occurs to you, or even just a feeling of peace. These are all signs that your meditation efforts are working. It takes a while to experience these things, so keep at it. Visualize. Close your eyes, relax, and imagine the circumstances you are wishing to create. Don't do it with the forced intention of trying to make something happen, or trying to tell the Universe what you want - it already knows, so trust that what you want has already happened in a vibrational reality somewhere. The point of visualizing is for the pleasure of it. The act of being purely focused on something that makes you happy (without any ulterior motives) is an excellent way to raise vibration.  Breathe. As cliche as it sounds, the old yogic saying is still true today: breath is life. All the cells of your body are crying out for oxygen all the time. Fortunately, your body handles this for you most of the time without your consciously thinking about it. But in times of increased stress, extra oxygen in your cells helps every single process in your body - metabolism, excretion, brain function, releasing of toxins, and so on. So focus on your breathing - take a deep breath, and then take in a little more oxygen. Don't exhale just yet - even if your lungs feel full, take in a little more. And then a little more. Then just exhale slowly. Enjoy it. Your breath is the most tactile, visceral way for you to feel the cyclical, rhythmic ebb and flow of Energy pulsing through you.  Love. Thoughts of love (not necessarily the romantic kind, but rather love as in pure appreciation) vibrate higher than any other emotion. Period. You (in your non-physical form) are essentially unlimited love, joy, and abundance. Everything that everyone wants in their life is because they think it will give them a taste of these things - love, freedom, and joy.  "Consciousness builds on consciousness SHIFT...you have a choice!" prema
