Harmony and Balance

The festive season is finally over and I am sure we are all feeling a bit scattered and frazzled. The energy of the year 2008 was all about clearing karmic patterns.

Unfortunately many of us got so stuck in those patterns, we are still trying to sort them out- still trying to release and clear them. What we resist will persist, so the things we didn’t want to face last year will resurface this year with full force. The intensified energy of 2009 will whack us totally out of alignment with our divine self if we don’t want to release the dense emotions still stuck in our cells.

The  strongest pattern we are dealing with at the moment is “I have done the work” pattern.  Many people are still very stuck in their old ways and they think that by reading the latest self help books they are clearing their stuck energies and issues. Wrong- if we don’t apply the wisdom we won’t heal. So go ahead and read the latest self help book and you will see it is nothing that you have not already learned or read. You know it. So how do we truly heal and clear an old stuck pattern without stepping into the pattern of I have done it already? Well a true indication of release is when you talk about an issue or something you experienced and it feels like you talking about someone else’s life, you can be sure you have released that energy. The second clear indication that you have released your issues of the past is when you have no emotional connection to what happened to you.

The “I have done the work pattern” is just another way of not facing your issues. Some of us are also very tired of clearing the old stuffs so we use this as the cover up. The only way to totally clear the past is by accepting the experience and then to move on.  If you can’t move on, ask for help from above. We often try and do everything ourselves and when we get stuck we also blame ourselves. Ask and pray for help, it will be given.

The energy of this year works with breaking down the old matrixes of duality. The time of unity and oneness has begun. If you are not experiencing this in your universe yet then you will have to stay stuck or shift your perception. The key to unity is integration. We have to integrate, almost absorb our past experiences, the good and the bad completely into our systems, with no resistance. Easier said than done, we tend to like only the good stuff. But as we know we learn and experience through the bad stuff, or what we perceive as bad. So once we have integrated our past experiences we will finally find harmony and balance. This is that wonderful content feeling of that everything is ok and I am just happy to be. To stay in harmony with oneself we have to look at our immediate environment. Do the eyes like what they see, does this space make my heart sing? If it doesn’t then some clearing must be done. Clear the stagnant energy by cleaning, painting and rearranging your environment, this will reflect positively back to your inner world. If your outer world is in balance your inner world will also be in balance and vice versa. So start fixing the outer world and see what happens inside.

Balance and harmony is what we are looking for. So how do we create or find it? Living a balanced life on all levels can be a very difficult task. We simply feel we don’t have enough time. Most of the time we see time as the reason for not having enough time to fit every thing in. The main enemy of not living a balanced life is the mind. The mind created time. Time created stress. So how do we step out of the time drama without always being late?

• Be wise how you use your time – don’t waste time on things that are of a negative in nature
• Be present in your doings – if you do something properly the first time you wont have to do it again
• If something’s not working, leave it and do something else
• Don’t let people drain your time
• Make a list of the things you want to accomplish on a daily basis
• Allocate time every day for relaxation or meditation

From all of these meditation is the most important. Through daily meditation you will gain time. Meditation makes the mind clearer so you can finish your tasks quicker.

Harmony: when we live in alignment to our Higher Self we will experience harmony in your lives.

To stay connected to our Higher Self we have to surround ourselves with harmonious energy. The word or concept of harmony can also be seen as harm no one. The Buddhists see this as harmlessness, so hurt no one or nothing including yourself. This asks for a great deal of inner awareness. We have to become very aware of our thoughts before we express them. So before you are voicing something to someone try and feel if this will hurt you if someone does the same to you. Before you do something, think or feel if the action that you are taking is hurting something, someone or even yourself. This type of awareness will ultimately lead to self mastery or enlightenment. Harmlessness will lead to harmony. When you are living in harmony with your divine plan every thing will flow and grow with ease. There will be no struggle.

Once you achieved a sense of harmony try and keep it by continuously being aware of your thoughts. Try and align your thought continuously with the higher mind of God. Ask for guidance on a daily basis to stay aligned with this energy.

Ways to see where you can life a more balanced life.  Observe the following:

• your relationship to food
• your relationship to life
• your relationship to your body
• your relationships with friends and family
• your relationship with your partner
• your relationship with the environment
• your relationship to money and material things

If your relationships to any of these things are not too healthy, then you will have to make some adjustment to the way you see your relationships. By being aware of where you are not living in balance with your purpose on earth you can gain insight to where you must adapt your attitude towards a certain relationship. Change only comes with awareness.

We also just witnessed the opening of the new love grids of the planet starting with the solar eclipse in January. The theme for this year will be mastery of divine love. The love that has no limitations or conditions. We will also have to work a lot harder at our love relationships the old archetypes of what love is, is slowly dematerialising. So if your relationship is built on old ideas of what love is and how relationships are supposed to be then you will be in for a shock this year. As the planet is evolving and growing, so are we. On the love department, the exchange or transaction side of love will start falling away. We build our whole reality out of transactions and we forgot how to give openly and freely from the heart. In your relationship with your partner you will have to start giving more from your heart and the expectation of receiving something back from that partner will have to fall away. The waiting to receive the same back will have to take a back seat. The universe will give you exactly what you need when you need it.

Trust in the Divine love of the universe.
Ask everyday for Divine guidance.
Live in balance and harmony.
Give gratitude for your blessings.

Much love
