Our Spiritual Journey

5/10/2008 - Our spiritual journey…by Sandy Penny

For the past couple of years, many of us have been re-immersed in the physical world in an attempt to clear and release lifetimes of karma. Many of our friends have fallen away as we shifted and changed and lost patience with old vibrations. Relationships may have come apart as we outgrew the patterns that brought us together. Some of us fell into worse patterns than we were used to experiencing as we dug deep into our hidden issues to heal and move forward. Many who were dedicated to their own growth suddenly became tired of processing as they turned their commitment to creating a more joyful life. Those who had been healers changed their paths as their vibrations reached a level where they no longer wanted to be held in lower vibrations. All this is part of the ascension process.

Check out www.whatsuponplanetearth.com. It has a list of ascension symptoms and other good information about the shifts and changes on the planet and within us. It’s very helpful to know that we’re not experiencing these physical, mental and emotional symptoms alone. The important thing is to let the changes occur, to cooperate with them and avoid descending into fears that will slow your progress. When physical symptoms occur, and you visit the doctor and the doctor does not find anything, let it be. Don’t fall into wondering if it’s something terrible that was missed. The power of your creativity right now is so great that you can create what you fear quickly. It’s very important to develop patterns of positivity now, more than ever before.

Katherine, my spiritual teacher who is now on the other side used to say that the reason we do not have more free time is that we don’t know how to use it well. She said when we learn how to use our free time that we will no longer have to work in jobs we hate just to keep us out of trouble. She recommended studying something we enjoy learning and using our free time to better ourselves mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Even the marketplace now says that we have to be lifetime learners to be successful in the future.

It’s time to stop doing the things that don’t bring us joy. It’s time to find what does bring us joy and to give all our attention to it. Joy is the reward for finding our true life path. Stop finding reasons why you can’t do what brings you joy and just do it. When you make a true inner commitment, the universe will support you in it. If that’s not happening for you, you have to take a deeper look at the thought patterns and body memories that are holding you back. What’s holding you back from doing what you love? Now is the time to let go of your fears, your projections, your old patterns and start moving toward joy. The world needs your positive energy to feed the group consciousness so we can make the leap forward that we all want.
