In January Laurie wrote about the energies of 2016 and how it was going to be a year of:
- the IAM Energy –
- a year of action to get moving on dreams
- a year to say no to those things that got in our way
- an emotional year where understanding and allowing feelings were important
- more quick shifts
- a highly intuitive year
- a year of community
- a year of manifestation from the energy of our feelings
Now a few months into the new year we’re gaining momentum in these areas and many of us are experiencing some major energy and/or emotional shifts. The purpose of these shifts is to create tension on old patterns and roadblocks as a method to remove resistance to any change we are avoiding.
The planetary movements are supporting this energy. Uranus is the planet of awakening and change and surprise remains strong. Uranus is the drive for freedom, innovative thinking, vision, insight, imagination, and can bring on what others may see as radical behavior. Understanding your inner being helps give direction. Venus is helping here by pushing our emotion and communication buttons. This is all in an effort by the universe to create shift and contrast so we release of old patterns and create new behaviors that support a higher frequency of light. That frequency is LOVE
Questions to ask in this energy:
- Am I willing change those things that will truly change my life?
- Or do I back away from them?
- Do I sabotage myself in this way?
- What would be the first thing I would change in my life that would make it better if I could?
In a John Hopkins study of patients that were faced with a decision to either change their life style with better eating practices and exercise, or undergo a medical procedure for their heart, only 10% chose the lifestyle change. Those refusing to change their behavior knowingly continued down a path that could be avoided. What was the roadblock that prevented their change ? Fear, disbelief that something bad would actually happen, avoidance, or simply not knowing what to do. Even when the patient was educated, supported and communication reframed these statistics did not change much. It took an external force to create a change for a sustained life, even when the choice was internally there all along.
Like these patients some people now are attempting to remain in old patterns until the universe leaves them no choice but to change. Recognize your patterns and your resistance to what needs to change in your life. Use your emotion and your heart to help direct ‘what is next’. Some are working through resistance or memory patterns from the years of the warrior energy that taught you to never give up the fight. In this energy of 2016, there is no need to fight. It is a flow of fluid energy and fighting anything will create more angst than direction. It’s a time to allow these experiences as a sign of growth. Find the gift, grace and love in the experience, as it’s meant to move us on a healthier path.
Moving through slow change can actually be harder than moving through it all at once, and Uranus is one of those planets that will give us the opportunities for big, quick, blasts of energy or emotion as a reminder and clues to traverse this obstacle course. Sometimes you may feel you were pushed through something with a force that was beyond you. Thank you angels and guides for the help !
Practice and use the tools you’ve learned and collected in the past. Any challenges, experiences and opportunities that you experiences AND learned from in the past will now help you through experiences that are intended to further you on your journey. If you remember that you have all the skills and knowledge that you need whenever a challenge presents itself, you will keep your vibrational frequency high and this will help you move through challenges with ease. Use your community for support and help. All challenges are meant to forward us on our journey and if we see them as such and learn we continue forward.
