If you really want to tap in to the power of your soul and live a life of passion and potential, then the most important step is to remember that you are a soul.

I find it ironic that we all come from a place of Divine Source and inspiration, and yet so many of us spend the rest of our lives trying to find it again! When you acknowledge that you are a soul and not just a body, then there’s really no limit to what you can achieve. When you begin living and viewing the world from a soul level and start to understand the nature and workings of the spiritual power of the soul, you’ll have a higher perspective and a deeper understanding of your purpose, your life, the world, and everyone in it.

Waking Times

For Americans, it’s that time of the year again—time to move your clocks an hour ahead; losing a precious hour of sleep in the process. For many, the time change associated with daylight savings time¹ (DST) also means spending several days or even weeks feeling generally off-kilter.

As reported by Prevent Disease:²

“A study, published in 2007… combined surveys from 55,000 people in central Europe with data on 50 individuals’ sleeping and wakefulness patterns for eight weeks around the shifts to and from daylight saving time.

The researchers found people never fully adjust their circadian rhythms to the hour shift associated with daylight saving time (or, as it is known in Europe, summer time).

If our spiritual experience does not resonate deep within our being, it is not truth. If what we hear does not echo in the chambers of our consciousness, it is not truth.

Mind, imagination, and emotion distort the purity and reality of many by making them think they are on a spiritual path of consciousness. They follow what they think, but do not know what they feel.

Awakening is our discovery within of the truth and nature of our consciousness. No one can bring us to this realization, but us. In consciousness, we are both teacher and the one taught.

Our awakening is ours.  Our consciousness is ours.  No one can give awakening to us. It is our personal discovery of the nature of our being and our relationship to all existence.

Namaste.

The following is an excerpt from my latest book “The Fear Cure”

When we’re willing to view life as the teacher, even in the midst of uncertainty, a journey begins. This journey—some might call it the spiritual path—challenges us to shift from fear of uncertainty to trusting life in the face of that which we can’t know and don’t understand. After interviewing many people about what they’d learned on their own spiritual journeys, I discovered that the journey from fear to freedom, which is all about coming into right relationship with uncertainty, is a predictable journey, one that many have traveled before you and many will travel after you. As you read through the five phases, consider where you are on your own journey. It is a map of sorts and can help you assess where you are on your path.

The Journey from Fear to Freedom

Some of the greatest love stories start off completely unremarkable.  It is the people and things involved that make it extraordinary. ~ Creator

During times of accelerated energies, it can be confusing as to why some people seem to thrive, and others seem to struggle. Shouldn’t the energies be having the same effect on everyone? How can people have such different experiences in the same energy? If you understand that all movement is forward movement, it will begin to make perfect sense to you.

The people who are thriving in fast moving energies, are those who are non-resistant to their healing journey. They have likely already gone through their own dark night of the soul, which has facilitated their growth, expansion, and desire to step onto their own enlightenment path. The energy serves as an amplification of the energy they are already holding, and supports the unfoldment of what they have been working on consciously creating for themselves.

Those who may be struggling in the energies are also moving rapidly forward on their paths. It may be that they have been stuck in old patterns or habits, or living unconsciously. Rest assured, no matter how painful their experiences may seem, they serve the purpose of racing them headlong to the energetic bottom their soul requires for them to embrace change. When it becomes too painful to stay the same, a person will then surrender and their healing journey will begin in earnest.
