Like so many elements in tools for the Times it comes down to a foundation of awareness. The playground of change is in the Now Moment. If we have developed the capacity to pay attention within and without then we have the potential to change, to do something different that will shatter energetic forms to magnetize new possibilities. Life is a continuous series of alterations of course that reveal us to ourselves. What do you see? What do you attend to? Are the old beliefs and habits so strong that you do not look elsewhere or even entertain alternatives? It is likely that you, being invested in this course, are not the type who is uninterested in awakening or resistant to walking a new path. But what is your level of awareness? For here is the fertile ground of the life you deserve to live…

Become aware…this is a must…become aware of

• Your body. Notice the sensations, the calls, the pains, the aches, the buzzings, the numbness, the irritations, the diseases, the zingers, the callings, the whisperings…all of it…for this is communication from the storehouse of energetic residue, toxic energy that contains the woundings, the abuses, the mistakes, the unsaid
• Your feelings and emotions. This also is the language of the body that points you towards the reservoirs of the unexpressed that is pulling your vibration down to solidification and identification with dis-ease. The feelings are also the language of the inner child self. Every time you ignore the calling you tell that little one she is not worthy or valued. Notice the sensations of the feeling, the location, the movement, how it responds to attention. Learn how to consciously support and move the energy. Know the situations that trigger the emotion. Pay attention to where you conscious self goes when emotion arises. Look into the programming you have had by those around you regarding emotions and your relationship with them. Watch for knee-jerkl responses to the moment…this is a visceral indicator of toxic residue attached to a thought/belief/pattern.
• Your thoughts. Here is where you begin the programming you have bought into to and believe. What thoughts are automatic. Become aware of them. Which thoughts reinforce the programming? Notice them…catch them in action. What thoughts cement your relationship with limitations.? Which thoughts support your family beliefs and patterns? The social, the community, and the cultural patterns? Become aware of what situations trigger the thoughts.
• Your patterns and beliefs. These are the direct result of repetition of thoughts. They are reinforced through expectation and emotion. Use awareness to catch them in motion. Notice what triggered them. Notice where you go when you are in the middle of them. Notice what you do, who you connect with, what you feed your senses…for here is where the reinforcement is happening. Be aware if you think these repetitive, learned behaviors are who you are.
• How the world shows up for you. Watch the nuances of the forms of your moments for they will surely show you where you are putting your attention. What kinds of people are you attracting? What are the situations? What are the similarities that keep happening? What are your consistent responses to the forms? What do you say and intend? What are the results of the words and intentions? The Universe gives you what you ask for through, thought, word, deed, and emotion…simple as that.

Awareness gives you a point of choice, once you identified the pattern and the belief that sustains the self inflicted wounding. Noticing the profound inner communication will result in a flood of new insights to address the form, provided there is an openness and a willingness to consider and, more importantly, act upon the messages. It requires attention and repetition, the monitoring of results, and the adjustments to create a new strategy…over and over… in order to redirect the energy of change. It is a spiral that is repeated but at a higher vibration and awareness…revealed by the frequency of the new vibration. One has to be open and want to be different, see the value of letting go of the familiar that simply does not work. There is much to be gained by shifting the way things have been. Personal awakening is supported by also asking for and receiving help from the seen and unseen forces aligned with your frequency. By all means, use all your resources to facilitate the life that is waiting for you.
