What's your experience?

I had almost the same experience, last week was unreal, with all sorts of midcommmunications with people.... this week, the energy shifted and everything seem's to be coming along much better. I think between the changeover from Mercury retrograde, which ended last week and also the new moon on Monday.... together those two were very powerful.

I would imagine not until Sept. 23 on the equinox will we have another big shift.

Lucky you guys! I feel miserable; mood-swings (mostly emotionally flat-lined or depressed), tired, sometimes anxious, and in general just asking myself if all this is really worth it. Nope, not death-wish (yet??!!), just wishing this is over already. Have been meditating faithfully (TM), drink lots of water, take vits, sit in the sun for a bit every day; in short - doing most things 'right' physically - not an Olympic athlete yet though. I'm doing my best to practise mental hygiene as well, but it is a battle since Tuesday this week. All of this was severe 'sudden onset' - I literally woke up Tuesday morning and felt like this.

Any advice?

Definitely feel you on this one. This week has been super depressing for me. I feel extremely heavy and just want to lay in the bed. I literally slept all day today. I am anxious, like I'm waiting on the other shoe to drop. I anticipate a major change in the works and it's driving me mad, both physically and mentally. I have zero energy, and desperately need some right now. Can't even meditate.

Yes. Stop identifying with all these feelings and the notion that you need to do x,y,z. Relax, stop resisting and give whatever comes your way the space to simply exist. The depression is the longing for things to be some other way than they currently are. This eventually gives way to hopelessness and futile grasping. Relax in every sense of the word and let the whole mind/emotion river take its course.

Christa · 09-02-2011, 08:23 AM

Thanks, ChrisG, what you say is true. Last night I realised that simply accepting and allowing these feelings to 'be' will eventually attract whatever it is I need. Their incredible suddenness and overwhelming power made me suspect as well that this is part of the releasing we are going through now. I don't quite agree with the 'Don't do xyz'-bit though; it was my strong sense that getting more physical is part of the answer to getting out of this state. So this morning I did some (light!) exercises, and I do feel greatly relieved! Thanks again for your post, though.

Stillkt...onwards, fellow soldier

... As I said to another friend - sometimes it's just a relief to know that I'm not heading for a padded room but that it's just part of my consciousness-shift process, since many others are experiencing similar symptoms. So I will ride this one out, it will pass. Hope you find relief soon too!

Right, I hope you don't think I mean you need to do nothing. I'm referring to the belief that can and often does manifest itself that you need to do x,y,z in order to find happiness or be fulfilled in some way. If inspiration strikes to exercise, surely exercise it is. It is important to notice that the inspiration isn't necessarily guiding you to exercise in order to get or be something though. It is all simply unfolding spontaneously and if your attention is constantly on the end result you will always be plagued with a sense of lack.

ChrisL · 09-02-2011, 07:43 PM

Christa - Many people are depressed right now to varying degrees, based on seeing our lives and not being exactly where we want to be. Doing anything different to change our lives can be helpful - and what is most helpful is to shift our perspective on ourselves. Excercise, laughter, having orgasms, changing our diet - all change our biochemistry, and can help shift our mood with the natural biochemical help of increased endorphins, seratonin, etc.

For anyone really going through stuff, I recommend holotropic breathwork as a great release energetically and emotionally. But a lot of what you're describing happens when we're shedding out of our old paradigm/program into a more authentic state of being. It doesn't have to be painful or take a long time, but sometimes it will feel like being born/dying.

Asking questions and embodying the answers might be really helpful right now: What is it that I need right now? What do I want from others that I want to embody right now (i.e. love, empowerment, support)? Am I procrastinating from being totally myself? Do I feel like I have to do something to get something? What would help me right now? How can I be more present right now?

And lastly - get some real in-person support if you need it. I would say the same to everyone. Do not try coping on your own if you're feeling too overwhelmed. Find someone that you trust to help you through it.

Stillkt - When I was traveling internationally and had a wife who had cancer, I got depressed and gained weight. It's important to know that our life can change othewise we stay with the status quo. Try doing anything different than your normal routine, or even do something that you've been previously excited about but never got around to doing it. Also ask for support from others because they might be able to give you a different perspective to help you shift. Let us know how it goes.

Soujiro · 09-03-2011, 03:48 AM

A bunch of things have been happening to me. I'm actually pretty excited.

(1)(A little backstory)
When I was young, a lot things used to happen to me. I used to hear whispers all the time. I've actually had my name called even though I was the only one in the room. I used to see things (People/energies running across the room and whatnot). I also used to feel things touching me. They would do things like pull up my shirt, I would sometimes feel a palm press up on my back/shoulder, etc. Once in a while when I would touch someone, I would see images/picture of their life (I didn't know whether it was past/present) flash before my eyes.
These things drastically intensified in my teen years.

At around age 14/15, it got really intense. I didn't want to acknowledge what was going on because I was too scared, and when I talked to my family about it they would always laugh at me and talk about how "I'm always trying to feel special and I need to stop daydreaming". Well, at around age 14/15 after yet another terrifying night (whispers and shadows bothering me while I was trying to sleep and during the day for the millionth time) I said "Please God make this all stop". (Now I look back, these entities had never tried to hurt me. I was just so scared cause I didn't know what was happening and why it was happening to me). From that point on I lost everything. No more whispers, touching, seeing peoples life flash in front of me, seeing things run across the room, etc.

Well a few days ago, I saw "something". I thought I was seeing things cause I haven't seen anything in years (I'm 24 now). "Hmm" i said. Through out that same day I saw some other things. Now I'm starting to see things again. A couple days ago I called out to my sister who I "saw" walk across the living room. As I walked to talk to her, she said "yes", except it came from her room. Lol, she had been in her room all day.

(2)For some reason I've been waking up randomly between the times of 2am-4am for no reason what so ever. This started about 2 weeks ago. It has cooled down now. Could this be due to the increased frequencies? or is my body just being random right now?

(3) I've also been feeling exceptionally tired/not feeling like doing anything. I'm planning to move from my current location in a couple days, but no matter how fresh I feel when I wake up, when I attempt to do things I start feeling sleepy or get distracted by reading blogs/coming on here

. I exercise often, but even still I've just not been in the mood to do anything. I don't fight this feeling anymore. I just let it happen. Funny thing is I had planned earlier to move to NY at the end of August. All off a sudden this "I'm not in the mood for anything" feeling kicks in, and practically prevents me from doing anything no matter how hard I tried. I pushed my moving out date a bit further down. Lol, to my surprise NY gets flooded by hurricane Irene at the end of August. Maybe something would have happened to me, lol who know? Just another "coincidence" I noticed.

(4) It's been hard to communicate with my family members. I got into another heated discussion last week. Every time we try to discuss they always take the "I"m right you're wrong" mindset and right off the bat they become overly aggressive/defensive. Ever since I started soul searching it's progressively gotten harder to talk to them. I try to tell them we can agree to disagree, but no. They are always "right", and I'm always "wrong". It just seems to get worse with each passing month, but that's okay. I accept it and understand we just can't communicate co-orperatively anymore.

(5) I seem to be getting more synchronicities in my life now as well. It's wonderful. Every time I feel stuck I just simply ask the universe for a solution, and before you know it something pops up out of nowhere in the most unusual way.

I hope this energy keeps on increasing cause I'm enjoying life like I never thought I could

.

Thank you Chris. I got over the donkey's back, as we call it here in SA, and interestingly enough I have intuitively done most of the things you suggested in this post. The light is switched on again.

It helps a lot to understand one's experiences though. This whole process indeed feels like a death/rebirth thing, and your advice just re-inforced my sense that I should be kind to myself. Thank you again.

That's so true Christa, and is another really great point to stress here. ChrisL mentioned somewhere else, that we're going through a "dark night of the soul", and this can be very unnerving to say the least. It's almost as if we'll be pushed to the wall, with stress and think we can't take it anymore, or perhaps some other really dreadful thing might happen.

The point being that these are a natural part of our ascension, and we all will probably experience many "dark night's of the soul"... before we reach the 5th focus. I mention this now so that everyone reading this can be ready, to some extent, for these big pushes, I suppose we can call them, as we all move foreward into the Light!

Yes, I identify with this, thanks AP. Haha, thought of it today - I feel much lighter and also a satisfied exhaustion, as if I've finished a long race, but there's probably more to come!! It's encouraging to know though that this is part of our spiritual evolution, and not, as I mentioned before, straight-jacket time.

ironhead · 09-04-2011, 06:01 PM

Exactly with the death/rebirth thing. You see some people have worked their whole lives towards spirituality / ascension, some have just started and some of us have been dragged kicking, screaming and just plain ran over by this awaking process! I didn’t ask for any of this stuff! The mood swings, depression and ever ending search for the truth have become minimal now. It all came around when I decided to just be..... Just be in the moment and get out of the way of myself. At one level it just seemed like it happened all at once, but in retrospect I had been setting myself up for this for two years and not even knowing it by removing all debt, dumping stocks for minerals, improving my hole in wall retreat property so on and so on. I have been out of work during this awaking process (last 9 months) and there would have been no way I would have made it without the prior two year prep work. There is much more detail to the story but the point is, it’s a natural process, the more you fight it the more painful it will be. Trust yourself, especially if it doesn't make sense at the moment.

ChrisL · 09-07-2011, 12:19 AM

Soujiro - The whole "I'm right which means that you're wrong" mentality is what gets us deeper in unconsciousness and perpetuates judgement, conflict, war, etc. Sounds like you're having epiphanies and moving through life more effortlessly - way to go!

Christa and AP - Yes it definitely looks like many people are going back and forth, or through phases right now. The more we can focus on giving ourselves what we truly need in the moment, the more the "roller coaster" feels less intense. Also sharing with like-minded souls can be helpful too!

Ironhead - You said "The more you fight the more painful it will be". This is so true, and especially in this birth/death situation, it can be helpful to have some type of reframe. I had one teacher who reframed her "pain" when she was giving birth, to intense sensation which she wanted to witness. It actually shifted her entire experience.

ChrisL · 09-19-2011, 09:44 PM

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to mention something that might help to put our current shifting into a more empowered perspective.

Do you know how when you are losing weight, that sometimes you get a temporary craving for things that you ate which put on the weight in the first place (ie. doughnuts, chips, chocolate, etc)? We are tapping into the cellular memory, but also the etheric memory, as we are releasing the layers of weight. I've also seen people have emotional issues return as they're losing weight, particularly if they ate to not feel a certain emotion (i.e. depression, anger, sadness, etc).

Watch your own life to see just how much of your current emotional state, is not totally a product of what is happening now (i.e. current job dissatisfaction), as much as it is a release of something that has happened in the past that is now ready to go. The reason I'm saying this, is because if we have all the past issues that are wanting to be shed, if we become aware of what they are and that we've postponed completing with them, the present moment can seem less overwhelming and unexplainable. We can then tease apart the issues, witness what is happening, and release them through any number of techniques, including just our willingness to release the past, instead of feeling overwhelmed.

For example, if you took care of a partner who was sick for years, and felt anger, resentment, depression, etc, but never truly released all of it, you might be feeling all of those things now and think it has something to do with your current situation. It might, but it might be totally unrelated.

So I'm saying be curious about what you're going through because some people are having emotions/thoughts crop up that have been under the surface for so long that they don't know why they are having them. You're not going crazy, you're simply re-visiting yourself and releasing another layer.

Please feel free to share your experience and your wisdom to benefit others.

Laurenaus · 09-19-2011, 10:11 PM

I don't know if this relates to what's going on but insecurities that I used to have have become magnetized and what's alarming is that certain people I have been meeting (new people) have been able to read me like a book basically putting all my insecurities on the table and pointing all of them out and it's a little stressful to be honest. It's stressful to be thoroughly analyzed and for people to see straight through you when the whole time you thought you were doing a good job hiding it and not letting your vulnerability show.

ChrisL · 09-19-2011, 10:24 PM

Lauren - Thanks for sharing. Yes it can be unnerving to be seen so thoroughly by others when we don't even want to see ourselves! This is part of what is going on right now. I would say get some help if it seems too overwhelming, so that you can get more accustomed to being more visible to yourself and others. The more we can own what is going on for us and get support, the less it has power over us. It's only if we don't want to see/deal with it, that it can feel like a struggle.

And I remember in grad school in group therapy - no one wanted to start out by sharing their crap because they were so scared they were going to be more messed up than others. It was sad and humorous at the same time. Once we realized that everyone had about the same kinds of issues, that no one person "cornered" the market on crazy/stupid/screwed up, then we could finally relax and be seen.

The more we can accept ourselves, the more we accept others, and the easier life becomes. Then we can simply laugh at our own silly stuff instead of taking it so personally.

VinceG · 09-26-2011, 02:48 AM

I had my wackiest intuition yet yesterday.

I learned I'm an incarnated angel. I used to be one of God's servants. Then I decided to incarnate, so now I'm human.

This is incredibly weird to me because I've been an atheist for many years, I don't pray to any angels, and I've never channeled them. But when you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound, so they say.

It fits. It makes sense on many levels and explains away much of the strangeness of my life. I realized along with this that I'm practically incapable of having a bad thought about a person. Been like that my whole life, but I didn't realize how strange and amazing that was until now. It was just natural to me, never even thought about it.

What does this mean for me? It means I can completely relax and accept my destiny. I'm incapable of straying off the path, it's simply not within the realm of my karmic possibilities. There is no need to struggle, only to bear witness to the splendor of existence.

Why incarnate, if I'm an angel? Basically, I'd reached a point where to progress farther, I needed human experience. I don't know how many human lifetimes I've had, but I do know that this or the next life will be my last material incarnation. Perhaps in the future I'll go and look at them.

DivineHealingTouch · 09-27-2011, 11:23 PM

Hello all,

I find this thread very usefull to my search for answers. I have unknowingly been on an 8 year Spiritual Path without recognizing what was actually going on. Until early this year I accepted my true potential , I always knew something was different about me but society labeled me as Bi-polar, depresses or simply crazy. Never really being religios in the way of the man made religions, but I always accepted the supreme god.

I find myself in awww with all the revelations I have come to experience from March of this year to present. I am a clairvoyant, Clairaudient, Empath who started Pranic Healing. When I found my souls path I was overjoyed, I felt home, it felt so natural, in a way Dejavu'ish.

I now find myself in full Spiritual Awakening, of course with a few kinks here and there that im releasing, but over all I know my life's purpose. Although my physical conscious hasn't yet caught up to my subconscious. Hope that made sense.

For the past three weeks, i've had major crown activation/ activity going on.
It started, as headaches , tinglings, pressure at top of head. Now within the past 3 days or so, I can actually feel my Crown Chakra spinning fast, it's a bit uncomfortable because I feel the friction that burns a bit on my scalp.

I was told this was "Normal Ascending symptoms" , but not much more info after that, I am not familiar with what ascending to the th dimmension or the attunment by vibrations are making. I went on an Internet hunt but honestly they scared me more than helping me.

I was refered to you ChrisL in hopes of finding more answers, I hear of a shift happening 12/21/12. What my interpretation is from what i've read is that , that is the day if you are withing vibration to move to the next dimmension my soul will leave my body.

Any information will help.

ChrisL · 09-28-2011, 03:06 PM

DHT - I just saw a cartoon in which one Mayan working on the calendar in the form of a stone wheel says "I ran out of space after 2012", and the other Mayan says "That's gonna freak somebody out someday".

Some people do want to get out of here, but you might want to stick around in your body because life will continue to get more interesting. We are collectively moving from a time of seperation (ie. judgment, denial, dualistic thinking, conflict, war, greed, etc) into a period of unification (ie. greater understanding, internal unification, focus, clarity, creativity, etc). The Mayans saw that Winter Solstice of 2012 (12/21/12) was the line in the sand, the turning point, as we are collectively moving into unification.

What does that mean in real terms? Right now all our conflicts are being revealed to us, and if we don't like it, we can tend to project them onto others. The most common example of this is our need to be right, the most explicit example of this is war. The Winter Solstice of 2012 was seen as the beginning of moving past time as a unit of measurement, meaning we're going back to the natural cycles of the earth and being more present in everyday life. We're shifting from a 3-dimensional experience into having a more 4th/5th dimensional experience in everyday life - meaning we will start experiencing time/space as more fluid, and incorporate more information from our senses that we typically block. For example, think of being at a party where you are just trying to hear one conversation - now imagine being able to hear all the conversations if you want to and to use that information in the moment.

How will this look? I don't expect a huge event right on 12/21/12 as much as the beginning of this type of experience. It will look different for different people, just as life right now appears different depending on our state of consciousness. Some people will want to continue with the old familiar way of being, and will superimpose that onto the new reality. Others will be experiencing a collective unification, meaning a lot of the usual stuff that bothers us (i.e. mind chatter, judgments, etc) will give way to a deeper sense of being centered. Some people have already individually awakened and their sense of reality has already shifted into this greater awareness.

Now this collective shift is not the same as shifting individually, as the feeling of collective unification will have a more externally driven feel as opposed to our internal shifting. I recommend everyone being proactive right now to release our internal conflict to become enlightened (a consistent state of no internal conflict, where we are loving and accepting ourselves fully), then moving into higher states of consciousness beyond that. The ascension process comes after enlightenment, and is literally our soul helping to raise the vibratory rate of our body, so that the body can become a soul in it's own right.

Anyone can become enlightened right now - we don't have to wait for some event to happen. There is no such thing as normal ascension symptoms. Just like with becoming enlightened, based on your individuality, your conflict, your beliefs, etc, you will experience a variety of physical/energetic signs. In fact, what you are experiencing is more of what happens while we are trying to release conflict before becoming enlightened. The actual ascension process can take up to 3 days, and an example of an ascension "symptom" would be your soul temporarily leaving your body so the body can see itself as a soul. You will consciously know when this is happening.

What you might want to go for right now is feeling more integrated, grounded, centered, loving, accepting, as you undergo your shift. There are people out there who are truly bipolar or have other conditions going on, needing some medicine to help balance their biochemistry - and there is nothing wrong with that. So I'm asking anyone reading this to be discerning about your own condition and don't stop taking medication if you need it.

There can be a lot of New Age misinformation and wishful thinking out there - even in published books. Be very discerning about what you accept as real from other people, and always invite a direct, personal experience instead of just intellectual information. There is nothing to be scared of so just relax about this.

Thank you ChrisL, you are absolutely correct. Knowing what is happening to me in general allows me to continue on the path to Enlightenment/Ascension. Yes I am working on letting go of old stuff and boy do I physically feel it. But I accept and welcome it with love. My whole view of things has completely changed. It's like it's not me anymore it's anew and improved me.

As I continue my studies, I was adviced my Crown and Pineal gland were overactivated but my Basic was smaller. I need to work on that balance as we speak. And have great plans to do so, grounding has to be done. Apart from major Crown activity, I have within the past few years had greater amount of very vivid dreams, I am able to manipulate those dreams. I was adviced this was normal when ones soul will soon leave your body to travel.

I have been guided by my Spirit Teacher to continue with inner healing as well as heal those in need. My path is Energy Healing.

I thank you once again for all your information.

I've noticed an odd shift around me lately-unintentional. My old friends that i used to hang out with weekly came to an abrupt stop. Now it seems about 7 of those friends just up and stop talking to me, and i stopped talking to them. Nothing too chaotic happened, it seemed like...destiny was saying "Okay, next chapter" (in my life).

elucidate · 10-01-2011, 03:44 AM

I had a strange experience the other day which I'm not sure what it was about.

Basically I'd just finished reading an email from a friend where he said he was glad to have me on his council, and acknowledged my wisdom, and then I went to the bathroom and felt this presence tower over me, and felt distinctly like a pawn?

I wasn't sure what to make of it and started getting a bit suspicious towards my friend as it was just after I'd read his email and he made a point of acknowledging that I am important to him, and strengthening our bond.

I have no idea what it's about?

Apart from that happening, I've been up and down. One day verging on the abyss of despair and the next feeling fine.

VinceG · 10-01-2011, 04:26 AM

I've been feeling an energetic disturbance centered around my heart chakra. It's grown from the size of a softball to the size of a dinner plate. Very strange. Been like this for a few days now, and it just keeps growing.

Two major breakthroughs in the past few days... I came out with the fact that I'm actually deeply wounded/needy/vulnerable. I used to hide this as much as possible, and just nod and smile about everything while crawling off to the corner to nurse my hurt feelings. I felt like i was dying inside. And I'd have to fight this raw, perpetually wounded feeling wherever i was, to the point of it being a distraction from other things. I went on antidepressants for a while to deal with it, but in recent weeks went off of them again because I don't like feeling dead inside, either. What has happened in the last few days is I've actually come out and come to the surface about my feelings, which is a major shift for me and a very different way of existing and it is freeing.

Another... I actually admitted to a number of people that I have had, for the past many years believed I would only live to my early 40s (I had some kind of experience - a dream - where I learned my "expiration date" - when I was 20). I really hope that this is not my literal death! I am 38 now. I've become more and more afraid to look into my future.

Yes, I have had the same dilemma as far as looking into the future.

ChrisL · 10-08-2011, 07:27 PM

No Name - I've seen that happen quite a bit over the last 10 years, to myself and others. The trick is for us to not take any of this personally. Thanks for sharing.

Pryogen, Elucidate, Vince, Everyone - At times this whole shift can feel like an interesting trip on mushrooms. Sometimes we feel like our world is collapsing and we feel terrible for any number of reasons, and other times we can feel on top of the world. If we're having any huge back and forth switches like this, it's typically the heart chakra wanting to fully open, but we can certainly have other issues going on which affect us (i.e. not feeling personally powerful - solar plexus chakra; can't ask for what we want - throat chakra).

It's absolutely essential to create a vision for ourselves that is different than how we have seen ourselves in the past. Then find whatever support we need to help us stay committed to embodying and transforming into that now. This is different than having a fantasy or future expectation - let yourself embody what you want now as much as possible, including letting the old beliefs and even your experiences fall away in favor of being present now.

The feeling of wanting to die is also a feeling of wanting change - let yourself change instead of being overwhelmed by circumstances and physically dying. Get support when you need it, laugh, exercise, be with people of like mind as much as possible, watch your energetic boundaries. Again, this can sometimes feel like a bad trip, and if that's the case, make any change, inside or externally, to create a different reality.

For example, when I was in college I was doing the whole Eurail thing in Europe for the summer. I started out with friends who were less than adventurous and hadn't traveled very much. We parted company but with the rainy weather, I was starting to feel depressed. Then I realized that I could make the trip into an incredible journey if I wanted to - it was really up to me. The rest of the trip, about 3 months, was a series of meeting amazing people, making wonderful friends, personal epiphanies, and even receiving the kindness from strangers in any number of ways (i.e. hitchhiking in the UK, gifts of food, lodging, sightseeing tours, etc). The whole trip was transformational.

pyrogen · 10-09-2011, 02:55 AM

I hear you, Chris.

I have recently decided that instead of wait for "the time to be right", I would start putting my art and creative works out there for sale -now-. I would start living my reality as much as possible.

Also, I think I may have had a breakthrough recently but it's in attitude, not in 3d experience. I realized that with all the little bumps and potholes that have been getting me down, that they don't need to.

For one, the reality im presently in, may be one that i programmed. I posted in August of last year that i was generating a reality for myself in which i was a highly successful student, with completion of lower division and transfer by fall of 2012. I am actually on track with this.

For another - this sounds insane but I think my ADHD is gone, without meds. How in the world?

I just need to find ways around the potholes, and also look at things from a different perspective (like, a year from now I will not care that for one week, the EDD accidentally did not approve my check because of a misfile of records - this is the stuff that's been happening to me with virtually every bureaucracy I have go deal with, and I deal with about four at present - and last week, I found out that after two semesters of runaround, I may not be able to get student aid for a while because -the school- has lost some of my transcripts).

Anyway, that's the perverse Kafka novel I've been living in since the shifts started. Every week, it's been something, and the latest is that my phone was just turned off.

But what I realized is that none of these have really held me back in school. It's been a PITA and I've had to hold garage sales and such in order to go at all, but a year from now, I won't even remember all of these little bumps because I certainly had bumps earlier this year that I don't remember. Also, I'm starting to really get into art and crafting in a way that i wasn't before.

In a way, much of this may be my higher self's way of keeping me focused (I haven't been able to go out and see friends, for example; study and making crafts and art are all I really do).

Thankyou ChrisL for all the reassurance. It's so good to know I'm not alone in this. Think I can speak for everyone on that note. What would I do if I couldn't come here and read your words that seem to really grasp everything I am going through and make it all feel ok and part of the changes going on in this crazy world. Phew.

ChrisL Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: US Posts: 781	DHT - I just saw a cartoon in which one Mayan working on the calendar in the form of a stone wheel says "I ran out of space after 2012", and the other Mayan says "That's gonna freak somebody out someday". Some people do want to get out of here, but you might want to stick around in your body because life will continue to get more interesting. We are collectively moving from a time of seperation (ie. judgment, denial, dualistic thinking, conflict, war, greed, etc) into a period of unification (ie. greater understanding, internal unification, focus, clarity, creativity, etc). The Mayans saw that Winter Solstice of 2012 (12/21/12) was the line in the sand, the turning point, as we are collectively moving into unification. What does that mean in real terms? Right now all our conflicts are being revealed to us, and if we don't like it, we can tend to project them onto others. The most common example of this is our need to be right, the most explicit example of this is war. The Winter Solstice of 2012 was seen as the beginning of moving past time as a unit of measurement, meaning we're going back to the natural cycles of the earth and being more present in everyday life. We're shifting from a 3-dimensional experience into having a more 4th/5th dimensional experience in everyday life - meaning we will start experiencing time/space as more fluid, and incorporate more information from our senses that we typically block. For example, think of being at a party where you are just trying to hear one conversation - now imagine being able to hear all the conversations if you want to and to use that information in the moment. How will this look? I don't expect a huge event right on 12/21/12 as much as the beginning of this type of experience. It will look different for different people, just as life right now appears different depending on our state of consciousness. Some people will want to continue with the old familiar way of being, and will superimpose that onto the new reality. Others will be experiencing a collective unification, meaning a lot of the usual stuff that bothers us (i.e. mind chatter, judgments, etc) will give way to a deeper sense of being centered. Some people have already individually awakened and their sense of reality has already shifted into this greater awareness. Now this collective shift is not the same as shifting individually, as the feeling of collective unification will have a more externally driven feel as opposed to our internal shifting. I recommend everyone being proactive right now to release our internal conflict to become enlightened (a consistent state of no internal conflict, where we are loving and accepting ourselves fully), then moving into higher states of consciousness beyond that. The ascension process comes after enlightenment, and is literally our soul helping to raise the vibratory rate of our body, so that the body can become a soul in it's own right. Anyone can become enlightened right now - we don't have to wait for some event to happen. There is no such thing as normal ascension symptoms. Just like with becoming enlightened, based on your individuality, your conflict, your beliefs, etc, you will experience a variety of physical/energetic signs. In fact, what you are experiencing is more of what happens while we are trying to release conflict before becoming enlightened. The actual ascension process can take up to 3 days, and an example of an ascension "symptom" would be your soul temporarily leaving your body so the body can see itself as a soul. You will consciously know when this is happening. What you might want to go for right now is feeling more integrated, grounded, centered, loving, accepting, as you undergo your shift. There are people out there who are truly bipolar or have other conditions going on, needing some medicine to help balance their biochemistry - and there is nothing wrong with that. So I'm asking anyone reading this to be discerning about your own condition and don't stop taking medication if you need it. There can be a lot of New Age misinformation and wishful thinking out there - even in published books. Be very discerning about what you accept as real from other people, and always invite a direct, personal experience instead of just intellectual information. There is nothing to be scared of so just relax about this. Last edited by ChrisL; 09-28-2011 at 03:11 PM.

Christa Senior Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: South Africa Posts: 148	Lucky you guys! I feel miserable; mood-swings (mostly emotionally flat-lined or depressed), tired, sometimes anxious, and in general just asking myself if all this is really worth it. Nope, not death-wish (yet??!!), just wishing this is over already. Have been meditating faithfully (TM), drink lots of water, take vits, sit in the sun for a bit every day; in short - doing most things 'right' physically - not an Olympic athlete yet though. I'm doing my best to practise mental hygiene as well, but it is a battle since Tuesday this week. All of this was severe 'sudden onset' - I literally woke up Tuesday morning and felt like this. Any advice?

Stillkt Junior Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Southeast, US Posts: 8	Definitely feel you on this one. This week has been super depressing for me. I feel extremely heavy and just want to lay in the bed. I literally slept all day today. I am anxious, like I'm waiting on the other shoe to drop. I anticipate a major change in the works and it's driving me mad, both physically and mentally. I have zero energy, and desperately need some right now. Can't even meditate.

Christa Senior Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: South Africa Posts: 148	Thanks, ChrisG, what you say is true. Last night I realised that simply accepting and allowing these feelings to 'be' will eventually attract whatever it is I need. Their incredible suddenness and overwhelming power made me suspect as well that this is part of the releasing we are going through now. I don't quite agree with the 'Don't do xyz'-bit though; it was my strong sense that getting more physical is part of the answer to getting out of this state. So this morning I did some (light!) exercises, and I do feel greatly relieved! Thanks again for your post, though. Stillkt...onwards, fellow soldier ... As I said to another friend - sometimes it's just a relief to know that I'm not heading for a padded room but that it's just part of my consciousness-shift process, since many others are experiencing similar symptoms. So I will ride this one out, it will pass. Hope you find relief soon too!

ChrisL Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: US Posts: 781	Christa - Many people are depressed right now to varying degrees, based on seeing our lives and not being exactly where we want to be. Doing anything different to change our lives can be helpful - and what is most helpful is to shift our perspective on ourselves. Excercise, laughter, having orgasms, changing our diet - all change our biochemistry, and can help shift our mood with the natural biochemical help of increased endorphins, seratonin, etc. For anyone really going through stuff, I recommend holotropic breathwork as a great release energetically and emotionally. But a lot of what you're describing happens when we're shedding out of our old paradigm/program into a more authentic state of being. It doesn't have to be painful or take a long time, but sometimes it will feel like being born/dying. Asking questions and embodying the answers might be really helpful right now: What is it that I need right now? What do I want from others that I want to embody right now (i.e. love, empowerment, support)? Am I procrastinating from being totally myself? Do I feel like I have to do something to get something? What would help me right now? How can I be more present right now? And lastly - get some real in-person support if you need it. I would say the same to everyone. Do not try coping on your own if you're feeling too overwhelmed. Find someone that you trust to help you through it. Stillkt - When I was traveling internationally and had a wife who had cancer, I got depressed and gained weight. It's important to know that our life can change othewise we stay with the status quo. Try doing anything different than your normal routine, or even do something that you've been previously excited about but never got around to doing it. Also ask for support from others because they might be able to give you a different perspective to help you shift. Let us know how it goes.

Soujiro Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Posts: 25	A bunch of things have been happening to me. I'm actually pretty excited. (1)(A little backstory) When I was young, a lot things used to happen to me. I used to hear whispers all the time. I've actually had my name called even though I was the only one in the room. I used to see things (People/energies running across the room and whatnot). I also used to feel things touching me. They would do things like pull up my shirt, I would sometimes feel a palm press up on my back/shoulder, etc. Once in a while when I would touch someone, I would see images/picture of their life (I didn't know whether it was past/present) flash before my eyes. These things drastically intensified in my teen years. At around age 14/15, it got really intense. I didn't want to acknowledge what was going on because I was too scared, and when I talked to my family about it they would always laugh at me and talk about how "I'm always trying to feel special and I need to stop daydreaming". Well, at around age 14/15 after yet another terrifying night (whispers and shadows bothering me while I was trying to sleep and during the day for the millionth time) I said "Please God make this all stop". (Now I look back, these entities had never tried to hurt me. I was just so scared cause I didn't know what was happening and why it was happening to me). From that point on I lost everything. No more whispers, touching, seeing peoples life flash in front of me, seeing things run across the room, etc. Well a few days ago, I saw "something". I thought I was seeing things cause I haven't seen anything in years (I'm 24 now). "Hmm" i said. Through out that same day I saw some other things. Now I'm starting to see things again. A couple days ago I called out to my sister who I "saw" walk across the living room. As I walked to talk to her, she said "yes", except it came from her room. Lol, she had been in her room all day. (2)For some reason I've been waking up randomly between the times of 2am-4am for no reason what so ever. This started about 2 weeks ago. It has cooled down now. Could this be due to the increased frequencies? or is my body just being random right now? (3) I've also been feeling exceptionally tired/not feeling like doing anything. I'm planning to move from my current location in a couple days, but no matter how fresh I feel when I wake up, when I attempt to do things I start feeling sleepy or get distracted by reading blogs/coming on here . I exercise often, but even still I've just not been in the mood to do anything. I don't fight this feeling anymore. I just let it happen. Funny thing is I had planned earlier to move to NY at the end of August. All off a sudden this "I'm not in the mood for anything" feeling kicks in, and practically prevents me from doing anything no matter how hard I tried. I pushed my moving out date a bit further down. Lol, to my surprise NY gets flooded by hurricane Irene at the end of August. Maybe something would have happened to me, lol who know? Just another "coincidence" I noticed. (4) It's been hard to communicate with my family members. I got into another heated discussion last week. Every time we try to discuss they always take the "I"m right you're wrong" mindset and right off the bat they become overly aggressive/defensive. Ever since I started soul searching it's progressively gotten harder to talk to them. I try to tell them we can agree to disagree, but no. They are always "right", and I'm always "wrong". It just seems to get worse with each passing month, but that's okay. I accept it and understand we just can't communicate co-orperatively anymore. (5) I seem to be getting more synchronicities in my life now as well. It's wonderful. Every time I feel stuck I just simply ask the universe for a solution, and before you know it something pops up out of nowhere in the most unusual way. I hope this energy keeps on increasing cause I'm enjoying life like I never thought I could .

ironhead Junior Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Texas Posts: 2	Exactly with the death/rebirth thing. You see some people have worked their whole lives towards spirituality / ascension, some have just started and some of us have been dragged kicking, screaming and just plain ran over by this awaking process! I didn’t ask for any of this stuff! The mood swings, depression and ever ending search for the truth have become minimal now. It all came around when I decided to just be..... Just be in the moment and get out of the way of myself. At one level it just seemed like it happened all at once, but in retrospect I had been setting myself up for this for two years and not even knowing it by removing all debt, dumping stocks for minerals, improving my hole in wall retreat property so on and so on. I have been out of work during this awaking process (last 9 months) and there would have been no way I would have made it without the prior two year prep work. There is much more detail to the story but the point is, it’s a natural process, the more you fight it the more painful it will be. Trust yourself, especially if it doesn't make sense at the moment.

ChrisL Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: US Posts: 781	Soujiro - The whole "I'm right which means that you're wrong" mentality is what gets us deeper in unconsciousness and perpetuates judgement, conflict, war, etc. Sounds like you're having epiphanies and moving through life more effortlessly - way to go! Christa and AP - Yes it definitely looks like many people are going back and forth, or through phases right now. The more we can focus on giving ourselves what we truly need in the moment, the more the "roller coaster" feels less intense. Also sharing with like-minded souls can be helpful too! Ironhead - You said "The more you fight the more painful it will be". This is so true, and especially in this birth/death situation, it can be helpful to have some type of reframe. I had one teacher who reframed her "pain" when she was giving birth, to intense sensation which she wanted to witness. It actually shifted her entire experience.

ChrisL Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: US Posts: 781	Hey everyone, I just wanted to mention something that might help to put our current shifting into a more empowered perspective. Do you know how when you are losing weight, that sometimes you get a temporary craving for things that you ate which put on the weight in the first place (ie. doughnuts, chips, chocolate, etc)? We are tapping into the cellular memory, but also the etheric memory, as we are releasing the layers of weight. I've also seen people have emotional issues return as they're losing weight, particularly if they ate to not feel a certain emotion (i.e. depression, anger, sadness, etc). Watch your own life to see just how much of your current emotional state, is not totally a product of what is happening now (i.e. current job dissatisfaction), as much as it is a release of something that has happened in the past that is now ready to go. The reason I'm saying this, is because if we have all the past issues that are wanting to be shed, if we become aware of what they are and that we've postponed completing with them, the present moment can seem less overwhelming and unexplainable. We can then tease apart the issues, witness what is happening, and release them through any number of techniques, including just our willingness to release the past, instead of feeling overwhelmed. For example, if you took care of a partner who was sick for years, and felt anger, resentment, depression, etc, but never truly released all of it, you might be feeling all of those things now and think it has something to do with your current situation. It might, but it might be totally unrelated. So I'm saying be curious about what you're going through because some people are having emotions/thoughts crop up that have been under the surface for so long that they don't know why they are having them.

It's stressful to be thoroughly analyzed and for people to see straight through you when the whole time you thought you were doing a good job hiding it and not letting your vulnerability show.

This is part of what is going on right now. I would say get some help if it seems too overwhelming, so that you can get more accustomed to being more visible to yourself and others. The more we can own what is going on for us and get support, the less it has power over us. It's only if we don't want to see/deal with it, that it can feel like a struggle. And I remember in grad school in group therapy - no one wanted to start out by sharing their crap because they were so scared they were going to be more messed up than others. It was sad and humorous at the same time. Once we realized that everyone had about the same kinds of issues, that no one person "cornered" the market on crazy/stupid/screwed up, then we could finally relax and be seen. The more we can accept ourselves, the more we accept others, and the easier life becomes. Then we can simply laugh at our own silly stuff instead of taking it so personally.

Then I decided to incarnate, so now I'm human. This is incredibly weird to me because I've been an atheist for many years, I don't pray to any angels, and I've never channeled them. But when you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound, so they say. It fits. It makes sense on many levels and explains away much of the strangeness of my life. I realized along with this that I'm practically incapable of having a bad thought about a person. Been like that my whole life, but I didn't realize how strange and amazing that was until now. It was just natural to me, never even thought about it. What does this mean for me? It means I can completely relax and accept my destiny. I'm incapable of straying off the path, it's simply not within the realm of my karmic possibilities. There is no need to struggle, only to bear witness to the splendor of existence. Why incarnate, if I'm an angel? Basically, I'd reached a point where to progress farther, I needed human experience. I don't know how many human lifetimes I've had, but I do know that this or the next life will be my last material incarnation. Perhaps in the future I'll go and look at them.

I have unknowingly been on an 8 year Spiritual Path without recognizing what was actually going on. Until early this year I accepted my true potential , I always knew something was different about me but society labeled me as Bi-polar, depresses or simply crazy. Never really being religios in the way of the man made religions, but I always accepted the supreme god. I find myself in awww with all the revelations I have come to experience from March of this year to present. I am a clairvoyant, Clairaudient, Empath who started Pranic Healing. When I found my souls path I was overjoyed, I felt home, it felt so natural, in a way Dejavu'ish. I now find myself in full Spiritual Awakening, of course with a few kinks here and there that im releasing, but over all I know my life's purpose. Although my physical conscious hasn't yet caught up to my subconscious. Hope that made sense. For the past three weeks, i've had major crown activation/ activity going on. It started, as headaches , tinglings, pressure at top of head. Now within the past 3 days or so, I can actually feel my Crown Chakra spinning fast, it's a bit uncomfortable because I feel the friction that burns a bit on my scalp. I was told this was "Normal Ascending symptoms" , but not much more info after that, I am not familiar with what ascending to the th dimmension or the attunment by vibrations are making. I went on an Internet hunt but honestly they scared me more than helping me. I was refered to you ChrisL in hopes of finding more answers, I hear of a shift happening 12/21/12. What my interpretation is from what i've read is that , that is the day if you are withing vibration to move to the next dimmension my soul will leave my body. Any information will help.

No Name Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 8	I've noticed an odd shift around me lately-unintentional. My old friends that i used to hang out with weekly came to an abrupt stop. Now it seems about 7 of those friends just up and stop talking to me, and i stopped talking to them. Nothing too chaotic happened, it seemed like...destiny was saying "Okay, next chapter" (in my life).

Basically I'd just finished reading an email from a friend where he said he was glad to have me on his council, and acknowledged my wisdom, and then I went to the bathroom and felt this presence tower over me, and felt distinctly like a pawn? I wasn't sure what to make of it and started getting a bit suspicious towards my friend as it was just after I'd read his email and he made a point of acknowledging that I am important to him, and strengthening our bond. I have no idea what it's about? Apart from that happening, I've been up and down. One day verging on the abyss of despair and the next feeling fine.

ChrisL Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: US Posts: 781	No Name - I've seen that happen quite a bit over the last 10 years, to myself and others. The trick is for us to not take any of this personally. Thanks for sharing. Pryogen, Elucidate, Vince, Everyone - At times this whole shift can feel like an interesting trip on mushrooms. Sometimes we feel like our world is collapsing and we feel terrible for any number of reasons, and other times we can feel on top of the world. If we're having any huge back and forth switches like this, it's typically the heart chakra wanting to fully open, but we can certainly have other issues going on which affect us (i.e. not feeling personally powerful - solar plexus chakra; can't ask for what we want - throat chakra). It's absolutely essential to create a vision for ourselves that is different than how we have seen ourselves in the past. Then find whatever support we need to help us stay committed to embodying and transforming into that now. This is different than having a fantasy or future expectation - let yourself embody what you want now as much as possible, including letting the old beliefs and even your experiences fall away in favor of being present now. The feeling of wanting to die is also a feeling of wanting change - let yourself change instead of being overwhelmed by circumstances and physically dying. Get support when you need it, laugh, exercise, be with people of like mind as much as possible, watch your energetic boundaries. Again, this can sometimes feel like a bad trip, and if that's the case, make any change, inside or externally, to create a different reality. For example, when I was in college I was doing the whole Eurail thing in Europe for the summer. I started out with friends who were less than adventurous and hadn't traveled very much. We parted company but with the rainy weather, I was starting to feel depressed. Then I realized that I could make the trip into an incredible journey if I wanted to - it was really up to me. The rest of the trip, about 3 months, was a series of meeting amazing people, making wonderful friends, personal epiphanies, and even receiving the kindness from strangers in any number of ways (i.e. hitchhiking in the UK, gifts of food, lodging, sightseeing tours, etc). The whole trip was transformational.

Think I can speak for everyone on that note. What would I do if I couldn't come here and read your words that seem to really grasp everything I am going through and make it all feel ok and part of the changes going on in this crazy world. Phew.
