We live in exciting times indeed! Shifts are occurring across the globe- socially, economically, politically, and spiritually. We can see these changes through the lens of fear and uncertainty, or we can see them through the spiritual lens of awakening and empowerment.
Many spiritual traditions have talked about being ‘In the world but not of the world.” This is the mystic’s path, to stay connected to God/Allah/Jehovah/Great Spirit at all times. When you face doubt or confusion, you can get clarity and insights through meditation, Shamanic journeys, or guided imagery to tap into your own Inner Wisdom. Getting support from spiritual guides and master teachers helps you re-connect with your own Divine Essence.
In my latest book, Staying Grounded in Shifting Sand: Awakening Soul Consciousness for the New Millennium, I offer stories and ideas for those of you feeling the cosmic nudge to awaken. It’s a spiritual guidebook for beginners and those of you who have walked the awakened path for many years. Each chapter has exercises, meditations, and stories to help you remember Who You Are as a spiritual being. These will help you stay grounded in the shifting sands of your life.
Here’s a link to a video clip of a presentation I gave on Awakening Soul Consciousness related to my new book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e61GrDFIsls See what emerges for you as you watch this.
Blessed Be.
