The Upward Spiral

Recently a client wanted to know how to best deal with his constantly negative and overwhelming thoughts. They seemed to be running amok and spiraling out of control. They interrupted sleep, caused stress and ultimately physical discomfort.

Many people have a similar question. What to do about stress. How to handle the overwhelming horrors they see in the news. How to deal with personal and societal crises. 

The single thing you have control over is how you respond to a situation. You cannot always control the actual event but you can always choose your response.

Your conscious mind is not in control. Your subconscious is. Most let it run willy-nilly continually pouring negative and fear based thoughts into the consciousness. 

That way creates a downward spiral leading to stress, depression and ultimately physical distress. That is only one way.

You are in charge of your thinking. So take charge! How? By paying attention to what you are thinking and choosing a different thought. Yes, really. It’s that’s simple. Peacefulness is a thought away. When you are in the midst of the downward spiral of thinking, pay attention; see what you are doing. It is then you choose to insert a happy thought. But what? It seems tricky. It can be, but here is one surefire thought: Love your downward spiral! That’s it, just that one thought and the feeling of love attached to it can change everything.

Love and fear cannot exist in the same space. It’s either one or the other. Keep finding something to love and you’ll begin to lighten up. Find things to appreciate all around you: the heat, a roof over your head, friends, clothing, nice hair, a computer, a library. There are myriad things to appreciate. Once you start looking, thoughts spiral upward. Once you begin loving your frustrations, downward spiral thinking instantly shifts. Thus it begins. It is then up to you to create more appreciation and loving thoughts and feelings.

Right now begin writing down thoughts that bring you joy. You might write about things you have done, will do, would like to do, things you can never do but sound wonderful. Every hour, on the hour, for five minutes write about what brings you joy. You will begin to train your mind. Then when you catch yourself in that downward spiral, you will have a list to refer to for instant shifting into joy and the upward spiral.

Events such as the Merrie Monarch Festival, the Seahawks celebration parade, the Olympics festivities, Mardi Gras Carnival, birthday parties and anniversary galas all serve the Light in Love and Joy. These massive outpourings of unity consciousness, happiness and Love create such strong global vibrations they lift the consciousness of all. To share in such joy as an observer or participant moves you along that upward spiral.

When you laugh, give a compliment, help another, pet a kitten, play in the great outdoors, happily read a book or feel joy watching the sunrise, you affect the vibrations of the earth. You help create that upward spiral for all conscious beings. Indeed, you are much more than you think.

It is not necessary to delve into your fears because whatever you focus on you get more of. So you don’t want more fears. Instead, just replace the fearfulness with joy, appreciation, gratitude and love. Just love the fear!  That shifts it all. 

When you diet, if you focus on not being able to have that delicious apple pie, you feel lack, another word for fear. But if you focus on fresh apples and fresh pears and maybe try a melon or a new kind of fruit you seek out, the new focus becomes joy and again you shift it all. Yes there may still be desire for that pie AND there is joy in the new fruit. 

You are so much more than a negative thought. You are so much more than you think you are. Any negative or fearful or unhealthy or angry aspect of you is only one teeny tiny aspect of you. It is not the whole of you. You are so much more. Your true essence is Love. So love your fear. Love your anger. Love your indecision. By choosing to Love, the upward spiral is yours.

In every spiral is an upward and downward direction. It's up to you!

Choose Joy. It’s always an option.

New Paradigms of 5th Dimension

One version of a paradigm shift

My intense 22 year connection with Tarot is shifting, dramatically. Traditional Tarot is part of the old 3D (third dimension) paradigm and I’m letting go. We’re moving into 5D. Dragging the old paradigms with us hinders our passage. A new door has opened.

Barrier Pierced

This drastic change began around year 2000. A barrier was pierced and a different energy became available. But like so many changes, when one is in the shift, it is difficult to see it or its outcome. Just ask a caterpillar in his cocoon, soon to be a butterfly. It trusts its DNA driven need to change; without knowing the outcome. We too must trust our light activated, DNA driven transformation.

Signs

The change with Tarot was startling at first; pointing to a Universal metamorphosis. Signs began occurring telling me to release the old way of thinking, of earning income, of doing. More and more difficulties reinforced the urge to change, encouraging me. So many signs from Spirit happened it became laughable. I could have chosen not to listen to this guidance; but my world is linked to Spirit, my best friend; so I listen.

Credit card machine, housing while traveling, Expo booth mates, flight schedules and more each broke down. With that many signs, I paid attention. A last minute Tarot reading caused me to cancel a Chicago trip, even though I was unable to recoup my costs. It feels unnatural when things like this occur; like you’re out on a limb.

But either you trust or you don’t. It’s that simple.

Expo Archetype  

For a few years I’ve known the Expo archetype was ending. Still, Expos are a doorway for some. We are all at differing points in the path. Some find safety in an Expo crowd to begin breaking away from old stranglehold patterns, instead of seeking alone.

What do I do?

I looked at this big shift and saw uncertainty. The safe, old ruts were eroding. Change was happening. I had to let go, allow and trust. I did and I came to a standstill. The old paths seemed closed. This is the scary part. What do I do?  But I’ve been down this path before and I trust my relationship with the unknown.

I wait.

This is a not an easy task. Our old pattern is to do something, fill time, work towards a goal or take action.

I wait.

The hard part is not knowing what’s next, but trusting I’d be shown, eventually.

Breakthrough

I got caught up in studying Tarot yet again, in a new way. Then a breakthrough occurred. I saw a map of this shift in the Tarot; a bridge to 5D and how to make that happen.

In old Tarot readings, people wanted predictions; or to be ‘fixed’; told what to do and how to do it; or to pretend someone else made their decisions so they didn’t have to take the responsibility for them. But my work is about self empowerment. I believe no one needs to be ‘fixed’. I know each person is a creator and exactly where they need to be right now. 

 By sharing this new map, they begin to see their own path and their vibrations soar.

The Map is Glimpsed

One Giant Step

On the Cutting Edge

Everyone is moving into the new paradigm’s vibrations and those on the cutting edge of consciousness: metaphysical healers, counselors and lightworkers; have an important role to play. To the extent and speed we let go of our attachment to the old wisdom, we can embrace the new paradigm and experience 5^th Dimensional energy.

  

The Changes Happening

Our DNA is changing. Our connection to our higher self is being redesigned. You may have strange aches and pains, odd occurrences in your life, big shifts and releases. All  presages change. Allow it. Physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually we are under construction. The neural pathways of intuition and self awareness are being downloaded and upgraded. For these new teachings, we must apply the enlightened tools of the 5^th Dimension: Love, Allowance and Compassion; for ourselves and for our 7 billion other-selves on Earth.

What To Do

I will listen to my intuition. I will allow new choices and new knowledge to arrive. I will trust they are perfect and in alignment with our quantum growth. Guidance will prepare me for new perspectives in my thinking and for release of attachment to old, familiar ways of being. I must let go.

We will be shown why and how we are more than just a human living in this space and time. Our multidimensional higher selves are instructing us as we enter 5D galactic consciousness.

Just wait. Be patient. It is already happening.

We are more than we think.
