Waiting for the Smoke to Clear

There has been a great deal of smoke engulfing our city as of late. The smoke is present because of all the forest fires burning in B.C.. It has been difficult to breathe and as a result I haven’t been exercising outside like I normally do. This makes a good analogy for what is happening on our planet right now. We are in the midst of a shift in our state of evolutionary consciousness. This shift may make you feel as if you are in a heavy smoky fog and you are unable to see clearly the direction that you are headed. This is because we are caught between the old and the new- are old way of operating in the world and our new way of operating in the world- our old way is becoming outdated and our new way is unfolding as we make the shift. In one moment, you may feel as if you are very clear on what direction you want your life to take. In the next moment, you may feel that you are very unsure and feel tentative about your direction. This is part of the process…..you will feel some days that you are in the smoke and on other days will feel that you can see for miles. Everyone is currently waking up to the new improved version of themselves. We are getting comfortable with a consciousness that is short on ego and long on love and connection with others. Look around you. Pay attention to what is happening in other people’s lives; we are all making this shift and we are all going through this passage of transformation. We are learning to become more of who we really are. This can be exciting in some moments and downright scary in other moments. This is part of the process – trust in the process knowing that the people around you are going through the same thing in their own way in their own lives. You may want to seek out more like minded individuals to connect with right now. Put that intention out there and see what shows up. Talk to people and tell them what is going on with you – chances are something is going on in their lives that they would also like to share.  Keep breathing when you are feeling anxious about the process and trust that you are held in a greater space of love. Remember that you have moments of absolute clarity at times; hold on to those moments in your memory so you can go back to them when you are feeling that you are in the fog. Things will become more clear as time goes on and you will no longer be waiting for the smoke to clear…
