Be the Change

January 27, 2012

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ~ Mahatma Ghandi

Beautiful words, indeed, from an awakened master! And I am sure that most, if not all of you, are quite aware that the journey of change in the world always begins within and what that means. We are each responsible for doing our part to "clean up" our own act in order to make a difference in the outer experience.

How many of you are comfortable and satisfied that you have made or are in the process of making the changes you feel are most beneficial and appropriate for you on your path of growth and expansion? Do you need a little inspiration, support or maybe a fire lit under you to get things rolling? Are you perhaps feeling overwhelmed at the notion of even getting started around a particular subject in your life?

Please remember that the human experience is definitely a continual 'work in progress' once one has awakened to the path of enlightenment. Remain mindful that it's all about the JOY of the journey and being present in the moment so as to savor and appreciate what each experience has to offer us.

Whenever we take the steps and put forth the effort to focus on making positive changes in our lives, we automatically and literally open up to new options, as well as fresh and exciting possibilities that become apparent and available for us to see clearly on the road before us.

If the winds of change are starting to breeze through your awareness and you are just itching to get things moving along, you may find the following information to be of value in your quest.

I have found the "Steps for Change" below to be very effective and useful in making changes and moving through energetic blocks that are no longer serving me which I am really ready to release.

Steps for Change:

1) Make a DEMAND.

For example, "Hey, this is going to change and something else is going to show up for me now!"

Stand in your power with confidence that you are in command here with your DEMAND!

2) ASK a question.

Every question you ASK opens you up to a completely different possibility and a new potential.

"What's it going to take for this to show up differently?" and "What's possible?" are two simple examples of this.

You can't see the possibilities until you make the demand and ASK the question.

3) CLEAR away any limitations. Wave your 'magic wand'!

Claim that you are willing to CLEAR and balance, release and transmute all that doesn't allow that to show up as soon as possible for you. Then run a clearing statement of choice such as, "I AM Divine Light. I AM Divine Love. And so it is."

4) CHOOSE and ACT.

After you let go and clear out the block or limitation - it's the choice that actually creates a different potential for the future. Each day we CHOOSE where we want to direct our energy with our thoughts, words, intentions and focus.

You don't want to limit what can show up for you by refusing to ACT when necessary. Asking is one important step in the process, but not the end.

If you want to know what actions to take, simply ask this question every day, "What can I do today that will allow this to show up right away?" And whatever you choose to act on, do it without judgment. If it works out well, choose more of that. If it doesn't, know that you can just choose something different.

Start demanding change, ask questions, be willing to let go of any limitations, CHOOSE something different, and ACT when you are inspired. The energy of inspiration will always feel like your highest choice!

5) RECEIVE everything.

For this to work, for things to change, you have to be willing to RECEIVE everything that shows up, with no judgment or exclusions. Trust the universe. Allow things to unfold naturally and in perfect timing for your soul's path.

A few words about the process:

Keep in mind that you may have to remove several layers, even a lot of them, to clear an issue completely. We typically release our issues in layers because to let go of the entire thing would often be too painful and too much to deal with and process in one fell swoop.

So don't discount any work that you've been doing on your own journey of releasing the old. Every piece of work we do adds to the total jigsaw puzzle of a life issue we're attending to. And sometimes we can't appreciate or comprehend just what the whole picture looks like until we find that last piece!

Please know YOU don't control when something shows up or exactly what it looks like. The universe does that for you and is aware of all the infinite possibilities which go way beyond every idea you may have of what that might look like. It may need to re-arrange a lot of other people's universes in order to create an outward shift in the world.

You may ask today and receive it in 10 years - or 10 seconds from now. But remember, you have started the process and it will occur. And it will probably look completely different than you ever imagined!

So if you have not used this method or one like it, test the waters, so to speak and consider giving it a whirl. Take it out for a 'test drive' on something small to begin with where you are not emotionally invested in the outcome.

Trust and enJOY the process! Let things unfold with ease. It's all part of the Game of Life. And if you allow yourself to let loose, open up and have FUN on the path to making changes, you will surely 'Be the Change' you wish to see!
