Adaptability
Today, we are welcomed into a conversation around adaptability. As we practice bringing our conscious awareness to all that we do and experience, we learn more and more about our patterns and behaviors. This can be challenging in the beginning, however, persistence is rewarded.
For without awareness, we would continue to do the same things expecting different results - the classic oft quoted definition of insanity. We do the same things over and over again because we cannot see what we are doing or the effects it is having. To truly see, we need to come into awareness, presence, and radical honesty with ourselves. We are encouraged to stop blaming the circumstances or other people because when we do so we fail to see how we participated in and created the situation.
Nothing in our lives happens without a purpose. Nothing in our lives happens without our being a vibrational match to it in some way. This includes the challenges and the celebrations - everything. What we are being asked to do through awareness, attention, and allowing is to ACTIVELY participate in life in a new way.
All that we have experienced has taught us to be resilient and adaptable. It has taught us that we can and will survive. And, more than that, it continually invites us to go within to discover. The desert is not a place without life, rather, it is a place in which creatures and plants of all kinds have thrived despite the unforgiving environment. We may choose to see our lives in this way also as the challenges propel us to go within to find water and nourishment for our souls.
This is also an invitation to develop a relationship with Spirit. Spirit will support and sustain you throughout all that you experience and will help you find an oasis in the storm. All of our experiences - especially the challenges - are pushing us to go deep beneath the surface of our environments, experiences, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and patternings so that we can discover who we truly are.
This will open us to becoming who we truly wish to become.
No matter what things look like on the surface, know that so much is happening in the unseen and multidimensionally all around you and within you.
Take the time today to connect with your heart space and quiet your mind. Ask for the presence of your guidance team. Feel them come closer to you. Ask for the presence and support of our Great Mother Gaia. Feel her supportive energies all around you.
Gently bring to mind any challenges or worries that you are facing. Look closely at the situation and ask for anything that you need to know to be revealed to you. What do you find?
Shift your perspective and look again. Do you find something different?
If you are seeking to understand a situation, are you willing to consider it from other angles?
Are you willing to be honest about your feelings, your patterns, your beliefs and your behaviors in the circumstances you are experiencing? Are you willing to see how you are creating what you want - and - also creating what you do not want?
Are you engaging in the same behaviors and “solutions” looking for a different result? Are you changing people, places, and/or things, but not changing what you believe and how you act?
Are you attracting new or different people and experiences into your life?
As you go within, are you willing to recognize how you are better able to support yourself by making different choices?
Are you willing to allow Spirit to support you?
Are you willing to see how you are thriving in conflict and challenge? Are you willing to see the blessings that come from these circumstances?
We will all be asked to continue to adapt and pivot with the coming energies. This exercise is a great way to practice and uncover our current capacity. When we feel safe and supported, we are more facil with pivoting and surrendering leading us to find solutions with greater ease and grace. It also allows us to conserve our energy so that we have the reserves to maintain a higher frequency.
