Many of you have noticed what seems to be very palpable change in the air.  The energy is shifting, you say.  Something is happening.  I can feel it. You are correct:  something is indeed happening.  What?  We can talk about this time of change in a number of different ways:

1.   Energetically.  It all points to energy anyhow, does it not?  What we are seeing now is that things are elongating energetically.  In other words. there is  a sense of tension created by the suspension of what is occurring globally.  Things are in a state of change, yes, but also this change is being suspended somewhat in time so as to create a more marked effect.  This is, of course, by collective agreement.  In other words, there are a number of you present globally who wish to really feel what is going on now, to have a marker of sorts to point back to in the future.  Consequently, you have chosen to collectively suspend time somewhat.  So even as many of you are feeling sped-up in some ways, you are just as held fast by this momentary suspension.  And the tension mounts.  You can feel it, in a palpable way as we said.  The very air seems heavier, as if you are awaiting something of portent.

2.    Emotionally. Emotions continue to run close to the surface at this time and also for the foreseeable future.  All this energetic tension leads to snappishness, cross words, and a sensation that one is being followed, perhaps.  The “thicker” air leads you to think about the life it contains, and this tends to make people more unnerved than usual as well as quicker to react in a “negative” fashion.  Because emotions are closer to the surface, little hurts feel bigger than usual.  It is helpful, then, to maintain perspective and to understand that this feeling is partially only due to the energy that’s present in the time.  You likely also will feel more of what others feel as well.  This can also have an unnerving effect as you struggle to maintain balance within the seeming chaos of your neighbor.  Remember, then, to sort out what is yours and what does not belong to you.  Whenever you are bowled over by emotion, attempt to follow the thread to where it began.  You’ll soon begin to discern what belongs to you and what comes from another, and you may simply leave the latter where they came from.  This is often easier said than done, of course, especially for those who are emotionally-centered.  It can be difficult to shrug off what’s not yours when you are in the midst of feeling it, being immersed in it.  But we like to think that simply by suggesting that such a thing is possible, you will open up to its possibility when next you need to.

3.    Environmentally. We have said before that we see change occurring on this front.  Global energetic change will have an effect on the environment, period.  There is becoming a higher sense of awareness, on a global level, of the state of the earth and its beings.  Do not mistake this: there is of course an agreement, a collective agreement, to begin to hold the state of the earth and its beings in this higher state of awareness.  Some of you will perceive pain from this.  Others, indignation.  There is no one right way to react to this overall higher state of awareness, but being aware of this state is enormously helpful.  If you are one who tends to act, then act.  If you feel, then feel.  If you deny, then deny.  All responses are valid, all of them.  Understand, however, that additional change comes from this higher state of awareness.  Where it ultimately leads is, of course, up to all of you extant on the planet.  What we see presently is more or less a constant state of change.  Is that a “bad” thing?  Not necessarily.  Change is permanent.  You are aware of this.  But at the same time you often wish for a plateau within the change, a resting place.  We see more tumultuous change, however, as the months ahead become the present.

4.   Personally. We have spoken about you on an energetic level and also an emotional level, but we see also that change will affect a good number of you in a tangible way as well.  In other words, look for a higher number of change in living circumstance, financial circumstance, and food consumption than has occurred for a long time.  You may be driven to assist those around you who you perceive to be in need.  This has a variety of consequences (and notice we do not attach a negative connotation to that word but use it simply to describe “what happens next” after an action is chosen and made), not the least of which is overall a greater sense of connection to others.  By becoming aware of the state of others, others both known to you and unknown, you increase your awareness of Self at the same time.  It is rather a mirror effect, then, seeing yourself through the eyes of others, and can be quite startling and humbling even as it can be hugely rewarding.  If it is in your nature, then, to take this sort of action then you will likely see some interesting results, but those results extend to everyone no matter the actual response to what is occurring o this global level in terms of personal change.  You are all engaged in the support of one another, whether you are aware of it or not.

To assist you through this month-of-change, we offer you this:  Simply Be Aware.  In other words, as much as you can be in a given moment, whenever you happen to think about it, be aware of who/where/how you are in that moment.  There is nothing more to do.  By bringing focus to your life by bringing the art of presence to yourself, you engage in this business of living and growing just that much more, and in so doing increase your very humanity.  Since everything you do, feel, or think has an effect upon everyone else on the planet, like ripples around the stone tossed in the water, your very moments of presence act as a wonderful calming influence upon the world, allowing everyone else that much more space in which to continue holding their collective breaths, waiting to see what will happen next.
