Consciousness Shift - What's Going on with Everyone - Questions and Support

[ChrisL]

Tanemon - Great question. The short answer: yes, everything is speeding up - healing, attracting, relationships, you name it.

The longer answer: Everyone comes across what Gay and Katy Hendricks call "upper limits" - self-imposed ceilings on whatever we want (i.e. healing, money, relationships, etc). Depending on our background and the amount of conflict we hold onto, this colors our perception of reality.

Many times instantaneous healers will employ techniques to satisfy the minds of their client's - not that it is actually needed. If someone feels that spitting on dirt to create mud and rubbing it on your eyes can heal you, then they will look for someone to validate their perception, or rather their "ceiling" on spontaneous healing (i.e. "I can only be healed if ____"). When in essence, the healing technique barely matters as much as reflecting an image of wholeness back to the person and letting them decide if they want to embody that and heal now.

There were plenty of times when Jeshua would heal someone, and then after he left the area, the person would revert back to their old malady - because their belief was that the healing was coming only from a master/healer, not a permanent condition. There were other people that kept their diseases (i.e. blindness, leprosy, etc) because they were not finished playing with that particular experience.

And yet on the higher levels of consciousness, we can even heal others even beyond their desires. The example was when the blind man said "No don't heal me! I only know how to be a beggar! If you heal me I won't know what to do!" and Jeshua did it anyway. Typically there is a higher understanding going on for the greater community when this happens - it's not just overiding someone for our own ego's sake (i.e. "Look what I can do!").

So fast or even instant healing has always been possible. Now with the shift in consciousness, more people will be allowing for that possibility, including people who have had serious, deadly diseases. I know one person who has consistently eluded death from brain cancer - she listens to the doctor's and uses what she feels is appropriate, but has a her own vision of her life beyond what they tell her. And there will still be some people, for whatever reason, who are holding onto their old version of themselves.

Ouch, transformation is painful! I have a spot in my back that feels like something is being blocked... right below my shoulder blades, in the middle. I see it in my mind as a black line surrounded by red. I have no idea what that means, but I'm trying to tune into my body.

I don't know if that was directed at me although it's a very good point to take into consideration. For me personally, I feel that money is uninspiring (though sometimes necessary).

I'm beginning to find that I'm becoming more and more sensitive to nature/earth lately. I actually cried and got really upset when the gulf oil spill happened--a few years ago I would have felt badly about it for a moment and then gone on with my day...my feelings are based more on wanting to be more connected to the earth as opposed to fear. And hoarding is definitely not my style, I'm more of a minimalist if anything

I've written a couple of blog posts about the shift. I thought I would share them with you guys.

I have one friend who had bad back trouble resulting from an auto accident. He'd had surgery, physiotherapy, the whole range of things that modern Western medicine and supportive therapy could provide. Yet he was still in discomfort and often in pain. He thought he'd try a South American spiritual healer that he'd heard about. My friend got his problem cured in one session by the South American healer. The healer then allowed him to watch while he healed others, even someone with skin cancer that was cured before his eyes (the healer just "peeled off" the skin-cancer lesions by picking at them with his fingernail!).

My friend was permanently cured of his back problems.

Very encouraging to hear you say this. So, have you been seeing this acceleration of progress amongst healers (and healees) in recent months?

You are more than welcome.

[SethWilliams]

Very interesting.

These shifts have happened to people before, mind you. Many times in human history. Its just that, as a whole, we decided to ignore it and return to something more familiar and comfortable.

Every time these shifts happen, they affect a larger number of people of course. Soon the number of people shifted will outweigh the number of blocked people and the scales will shift all together.

[ChrisL]

StacyT - No, that comment wasn't directed at you personally, I was actually relating to what you were saying about getting in tune more with nature and the earth. I was saying it for those readers who might be making decisions out of fear, out of a sense of withdrawal (reaction), as opposed to approach (response). Thanks for clarifying though.

Divajules - Looking forward to reading your posts!

Tanemon - I've been involved with this type of thing for awhile now, so in some countries it's taking off more than others, depending on the collective consciousness. In Japan, it's been accelerating for a few years now, because the people there really want to shift! In other countries, there are some who are the forerunners for their area, and then more continues to happen as it catches on. We recently had a major energetic shift happen, which started in Dec 2010, and we're currently still experiencing the benefits of that influence. What's your experience?

SethWilliams - Right on the money about the shifted people outnumbering the people holding onto the past.

I'll mention a generality first: I'm in Canada, which of course is English-speaking (except for the province of Quebec) and stretches just above the U.S. Trends in the U.S. have always tended to have their counterparts here - and there are parts of the region where I live that correspond (trend-wise, consciousness-wise) to California, Oregon, New Mexico, and Colorado.

Of course, through the news we're well aware of current developments in the Arab world.

For myself, I've been involved with conscious-growth processes for many years - meditation, dream work, nature experiences, a tiny bit with Native-American ceremonial stuff, Reiki & other energy work, and things like this. I'm always acutely aware of what's happening inside me and in my life. I started a new process about a year ago (by choice or by destiny, depending on how I look at it), and it's pretty intense in some ways. But really, that's all I know. Reflective of a bigger "shift"? Maybe... hard to say for sure.

When I do energy work, that's how I "see" painful areas, as red to black, black being strongest. Is there anyone in your area who can help you with this one? While I agree with ChrisL that you can heal yourself, in this case it sounds a lot like trying to scratch your own back... easier when someone else can reach that spot for you!

Otherwise, I'd suggest acupuncture, chiropractic, or vision work on your own. Send yourself some radiant blue light to that area, and see what happens. Should shift while you're doing yoga. That's what usually happens for me.

[elucidate]

I'm feeling incredibly exhausted, drained and just want to withdraw from the world and spend time alone. I feel a bit stuck in my life at the moment, and am trying not to let hopelessness take over. It's so up and down for me right now, and I'm not sure if it's due to this shift stuff or just regular monthly stuff?

Anyone else feeling this way?

Ditto. Well, at least on the drained, wanting to withdraw, stuck and hopelessness parts, not the wanting to be alone (I already am too much), or the monthly stuff.

Mostly I do not sense anything positive in this shift. I had great anticipation that this year would be very positive and it has started out much the opposite. 010 ended on a very low down beat. Lately I have found myself empathically hypersensitive to fictional characters on shows I watch, which is new, and not necessarily good or bad.

I had a great rush of energy and clearing out for most of january and beginning of February. Since Sunday I have just been dragging, taking this time to "process" (for lack of a better term) what has been brought to the front in the past month or so and getting ready for the Spring to come.

[Lakshyayidhi Lakshmihi]

I took a long nap yesterday and went to bed early. Just take good care of yourself and be sweet to yourself right now. The rest will come when it is ready.

[ChrisL]

Elucidate, Rezzy and Everyone - This might sound a bit strange, but it can be easy right now to stay stuck in a certain mood/thought. It's kind of like being on drugs. We can have a repetitive thought/emotion (like hopelessness, wanting to withdraw) that can seem to perpetuate itself. In a way, it can feel like being on a bad "trip".

Things that might help:

• Don't do your usual routine - find a way to do something different, or at least do what you need to do in a different way. (i.e. use your left hand instead of your right) This will shift your neural netways and your perspective.

• Talk with someone (i.e. friend, coworker) who has a very different perspective that feels empowering based on their personal experience, not just a belief.

• Actually physically go to a different location than what you're used to. If you usually stay in your home, go into nature, go to a celebrative social gathering where you can laugh or at least see things from a different perspective..

• Do something physically that will shift your internal pharmacology. Specifically, to get chemicals like endorphins and oxytocin more present in your system through working out, laughing, cuddling/having sex, sports, etc. Having deep intimate relationships is so important right now.

• Like Laks suggested, be kind and loving to yourselves. Treat yourselves like you would treat your child or partner, giving yourself whatever you need.

• Make a list of your resources/support and consciously use them, internal and external. Positive resources can include things like: going for a walk in nature, playing sports, taking a hot bath, getting a massage, laughing, painting, playing music, dancing, deep intimate discussion with someone we trust, getting a hug - the list goes on. We typically have all kinds of resources at our disposal and we don't use them. Now is the time!

• If we're in a traumatic reaction, then it can be literally impossible to "think" our way out of it. Why? Because when we're in the Fight/Flight mode, our consciousness shifts to the Primal brain which is responsible for movement. When we're feeling safe again, we shift back to the Frontal lobe of the brain which can think.
  If we're feeling traumatized, out of it, numb, or on the reverse side, feeling too reactive, hyper-alert, then doing some basic movement can help us feel safe and able to think again. Some grounding techniques to get clearer include: stomp your feet on the ground, feel your lower body with your hands, stand up and stretch out really big to take up more space (this helps us feel like we're not a child but in an adult body), push hard against a wall/tree/ something solid (this is like setting a boundary and saying no).

• When you're feeling up to it, take a look at any limiting beliefs, self-negating thoughts, conflicting emotions, unresolved trauma. Typically unresolved trauma (movement that wanted to happen but didn't) and relational issues (positive core beliefs that never got integrated like "I can ask for what I want", "I'm safe", "I can express myself", "I can be myself and be in relationship") are layered on top of each other, each affecting one another. Get some professional help if you need it. Don't try to go through something like this alone if it feels too debilatating, addictive, overpowering.

• This one is inspired from Space's post below - Consciously ask your guides for help, out loud. State what you want as if you already have it (i.e. "I'm grateful to receive ______"). Our guides are always here to help. If we are asking or offering prayers, then a sing-song pattern works the most effectively. Listen to Bobby McFerrin's version of the 23rd Psalm to get an idea of this - "The Lord is my Shephard, I have all I need, She makes me lie down in green meadows...". If you're old school Catholic then you already have an idea of it.

[spacecadetglow]

Wow, ridiculous -- timely post for me, Chris. Many thanks. I am absolutely trapped in the thought loops now, and NOTHING seems to be working.

It's funny, because nothing traumatic has actually happened but it feels like I'm in trauma mode trying to make a decision/solve a problem. This decision has totally consumed me in an obsessive way for the past several days and nothing seems to be helping. I do have my moments of lucidity, where it feels like I can think clearly and rationally, and I realize how outrageous this all is, but then I just sink right back in.

Just when I'm feeling on top of my game, like I can do anything, I'm back to being a quivering mess in my room, sobbing and throwing punches at pillows out as some sort of forced catharsis to appease the gods.

I like your suggestions, though, doing different things to shake up the routine. I will keep that in mind. For now, include me in your thoughts/prayers, whatever you do. Much appreciated.

[elucidate]

Thanks ChrisL.

Maybe I will ride to work instead of catch the tram...though my energy is so low at the moment, I don't know if I'd make it. I definately need to get into nature. I want to go to the forest this weekend. I've been getting used to my new home (just moved) and needing to just process a lot of stuff. Trauma from past abuse has been surfacing and I'm feeling really fragile right now. I've been doing this absolutely awesome CD hypnosis involving charging the chakras and Inner Child work as well as had reiki last week and been learning new EFT techniques, so, it's been pretty full on for emotional healing this week.

Thanks for the suggestions. Just feeling like my job is killing me but I've just moved and the rent is high, so I can't quit just yet, but the feeling of being my own boss doing massage and reiki has been coming to me in the night, and I can taste it, it's nearly here, I just need to hold on...but it's hard. I feel really, just like giving up. Still going through like a withdrawal from this guy I left who is no good, which makes things even harder. But I'm just focussing on self-nurturing activities and giving myself hugs and baths if I need them. Eating fresh food etc.

[ChrisL]

Space - Thanks for sharing your experience Amy! It can very much feel like we're popping in and out of lucidity, like we're in and out of a dream. Throughout this year, that kind of affect will be deepening if we still have issues to sort through, so I encourage everyone to deal with things sooner rather than later because the affect will feel more exaggerated later.

Prayers and energy sent your way!

Elucidate - Sounds like you're being proactive in taking care of yourself in some ways. If we can extend our commitment to ourselves in every aspect of our lives, then a huge shift happens. Keep us posted Luci!

I understand this thread is about those who feel a shift.

Therefore those who don't feel a shift will not likely contribute. Therefore the thread may become biased.

What is your understanding of those who are not feeling anything? (just curious)

Anyone else feeling this way?

Yes I feel exactly like this. Here in the USA this past winter which is finally winding down has been a hard one for me. I'm positive most if not all of my aches and pains have been from the transformation/energy infusions we've
been getting lately. I think things will look up in March, so we have to hang in there a little bit more. Asking your guides and angels and for help, when things get really bad... seem's to be the only solution that really works.... so Chris is right on the money with that one!

Now's the time to focus on ascension like never before... I think our wellbeing depends on it!

Also... now that I think of it, my angels have informed me more than once, that what we're going through now is not only a transformation but also an initiation of sorts.... which entails things being hard for us...but not over the top bad.... so they tell me to hang in there, all is well!

I'm not sure if this answers anything either way, or if it's by chance just some fluke or an immune system fending off some virus or another, I've been really tired recently, and it's not that I'm getting less sleep than normal either. Just tired not too long after waking. I guess that kinda correlates to some of the other responses I've seen on this thread thus far. I'm hoping that this doesn't have any negative impact on my work though, as I have a bit... >.>

Btw, I also don't think you can get rid of biases regardless. As for what I've seen of others recently, things seem within bounds to the 'normal', a few developments here and there among friends but that's not to be unexpected. It's difficult to say either way though, and I could, if I tried make a case for either... :/

[ChrisL]

GoingUnder - Great question! There could be a number of things going on.

Our best case scenario is if we have no conflict whatsoever, then life is already feeling effortless. There is no tension, stress, pressure to change anything as life already seems like a changing flow. We find ourselves in the right place at the right time, deeply connected to ourselves and others, working in a job/career that gives us more energy than it takes, in relationships that keep us feeling grateful, loving, and new, knowing everything as sacred, feeling a sense of wonder about life as we continue to unfold with more consciousness and curiosity.

Everyone is going to have their own experience of this, and their own timing. You may not be feeling anything right now - not a problem. I know some people that feel like life is just as it has always been - not many, but a few.

And I have a friend who wasn't sensitive to any of this until last year, then she had just about every major transition you can imagine - divorce, moving, new career, father died - all in less than a year. She is still shifting now in major ways, including letting go of friendships that don't work for her anymore. In her case, she was procrastinating on things for years (conflict) until everything came to a head last year. Now she's beginning to see her life more clearly.

I'm not expecting everyone to have the same experience of what is being described here, which is why I'm encouraging everyone to share. Someone out there can most likely relate to any particular story/perspective. When I was in college I started a support group for those who were interested in metaphysical/spiritual concepts. While I was sitting in the student center lobby of a well-known engineering school with flyers, someone asked me "What if I don't believe in any of this? Can I join to disprove it?" And I said "Then start your own club, because this is for those who have an experience already and want to understand it". It wasn't a problem with me, but he was ticked off.

So if you're not experiencing anything out of the ordinary - no big deal. Everything has it's timing and personal expression. And it's okay if you don't believe in any of this either - I don't have an agenda that people need to experience this. But if you ever start feeling what people are talking about on this thread, then at least you have an idea of what's happening and some possible recourse.

BTW, great picture of the water tube! I've never surfed, although I love water sports, but have heard about the sound the water makes when you're surfing through the tube.

AngelPsychic - It's not my understanding that we ever have to experience pain, struggling, hardships, etc. It's not like a lesson that we have to learn, as much as it more like a rogue virus in our collective consciousness, which to me feels very empowering to know that!

I asked a mystic one time what is the difference between an enlightened human and the normal human. He said "An enlightened individual is dedicated to the human experience, and people are dedicated to the struggle of the human experience." That stuck with me so deeply that I began to look where I was looking for struggle, creating struggle, wanting struggle to be confirmed.

This can be so effortless if we give up any need to be right or agenda that it has to be difficult. And if we have a vision, like ascension, then commiting to it is so essential right now. Thanks for sharing!

I think that it's pretty obvious that some people are just more sensitive than others. You can see it so clearly in children, although in the western cultural paradigm those personality traits tend to be socially punished because a child that is sensitive will be easily overwhelmed by lots of people, sounds, sights, and in the US at least - it's common for parents to just push their young children to do things, be independent, be go getters - because those are traits that are preferred in children, generally speaking.

But IME the sensitive children tend to have psychic sensitivities as well. It's just that all being have different abilities. Some will be able to sense these kind of things easily, like you might see an image when you turn on the TV (I can't even really watch TV ) but there are others who may not have as finely attuned senses, and in that case their perceptual inputs would differ, eh?

I can relate in that I feel like what I've done in the past no longer works.

If I simmer down, quiet my mind, and listen to my intuition? I'm in the flow, mother****er.

If I run back to my comfort zone, try to think my way through problems, and use the same methods and faculties I developed in the face of old challenges? I struggle and sob like I'm about to be crushed underneath an incomprehensible weight.

What's striking to me is the contrast between these two states and how pronounced it is when I shift from one to the other. Night and day have more in common yet on the most interesting days I can shift back and forth multiple times within an hour.

It's driven home a simple fact, one I knew but never acted on: I have bridges to burn.

I relate to a lot of this. I've experienced an entire paradigm shift more or less overnight, and it's a relief to know I'm not alone in this.

Well, I can definitely agree with the lessons that I have had about letting go of trying to think my way through life. I've always been a feather in the wind, though, and had a very unconventional life as an adult - so the transition to becoming almost completely intuitive is actually almost like a relief to me. Like I don't have to try to bother to figure out how a "normal" person would go about approach anything at all.

I feel very much at ease. Now, I do attribute a lot of this to my session with Angela almost 2 weeks ago now...but it like, even when I am sobbing, I no longer feel like I'm struggling? Does that make sense? it's all just part of the beautiful dance.

[ChrisL]

Illustro Cado - You've touched on a central theme, and that is, what used to work in the past doesn't work anymore. Finding different ways to do something different than we have in the past will feel more essential now. Thanks for bringing that point out!

Pyrogen - I'm glad you're not feeling so alone with your experience. There are so many people out there with similar experiences, at least we can get a few of them to share on this forum!

Laks - I always appreciate your wisdom and experience. Sometimes we can see life like a song where we only want to use the "good" notes, or a painting where only use the "good" colors. It makes perfect sense to me that it's all part of the dance. Thanks for sharing.

[SethWilliams]

I've definatley been shifted, as of late.

Self-doubt is basically gone, almost. I can will things to happen 10x quicker with 10x potency.

Im burning with desire and focus.

In one word, Grrrrr!
