How Are You Experiencing The Earth's Energetic Shifts?

How Are You Experiencing The Earth's Energetic Shifts? ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

I've been tracking shifts in reality for the past decade or so, and it's fun to see scientific explanations show up in my storyline.

As I started 'upgrading' energetically, one of the most disturbing changes was the disappearance of the center of the Earth. I was teaching grounding in a meditation class one day, and went to connect to the Earth's magnetic core, and it wasn't there. For me there was just outer space, as if I'd gone straight through the holodeck and outside the Enterprise.

Grounding had been my foundational technique for thirty years. When I corded the center of the Earth from my root chakra, I would feel gravity increase. It helped me come into my body and feel more present. My body felt more secure when it was connected to the planet.  And then it was gone.

Eventually, I adjusted. I came up with other ways to center in the hologram without being tethered to the planet. I discovered how to wirelessly connect into my body and into this physical reality in a way that wasn't so dense. Instead of feeling increased gravity, I now feel this pleasant sense of buoyancy.

Recently, I taught these techniques to a couple of people and they reported feeling heavier.  Hmm.  So afterwards I played with using my original techniques again, and it just wasn't the same. Everything is still lighter, and more diffuse.

Then I came across a YouTube video of Inuit elders talking about changes in their environment, and saying the earth's axis has tilted. I wondered if this was part of what I'd been sensing.

More research revealed a report from NASA saying that polar shifts are normal, they take place over millions of years. However the shift has sped up in recent years, It is moving faster now, and "scientists estimate the pole is migrating northward about 40 miles per year, as opposed to about 10 miles per year in the early 20th century".

The Earth wobbles fairly regularly, but another NASA report stated that "around the year 2000, Earth's spin axis took an abrupt turn toward the east and is now drifting almost twice as fast as before, at a rate of almost 7 inches (17 centimeters) a year." Which they find "puzzling".

So, things are speeding up. Magnetic poles are shifting. The planet is responding. Our bodies are responding (since they're our vehicle in physical reality).

Physical reality looks the same but feels different. There are different ways to balance and center now. Wireless connections, rather than cords, help me energetically center in this reality. Our bodies like feeling connected to the planet, so for some people walking barefoot helps. I don't like being cold, so for me just walking outside (bundled up against rain and wind) helps.

This hasn't gotten around to explaining how, as I walk, I notice reality shifting in an out of focus, and how, to me, it I sense moving in and out of parallel universes, but that's for another article.

We're Consciousness, experiencing this world of form, and our body is our vehicle. Notice for yourself how you perceive the changes going on, and what your body may find supportive.

Whatever helps your body feel balanced and centered, do it. And you'll have a much more enjoyable experience. :)

Disasters and Consciousness

We just had a massive earthquake in Nepal, followed by a large one in New Guinea, a fair sized one off of India, and volcanos erupting in Chile and the Phillipines and (underwater) off the coast of Oregon.  There's a whole lotta shaking going on.

With any growth cycle, there are periods of tension and release.  The planet is always moving around, tectonic plates shifting, creating more land masses, destroying along fault lines.

Society goes through similar cycles, belief systems constricting, people rebelling, conflicting ways of thinking coming to the surface, and eruptions of protests and wars, until we settle into a new normal.

We're strongly affected by natural and "manmade" disasters.  It brings out the best (and sometimes the worst) in us.  Heroes are made and hearts are broken.  Miracles and tragedies, side by side.

Faith is tested, faith is lost, and faith is found.  If there's any evidence that there's a power greater than our personalities, take a look at super tsunamis and 7+ magnitude earthquakes.

We may contribute to planetary disturbances and global warming, but the Earth could shrug it's shoulders at any moment and be rid of us.

Some of us shake our fists, at God ("how can God do this to us?") or at the Government ("it isn't doing enough to help or prevent this").

I've written in the past how we collectively create being in these situations.  I've noticed when everyone seems to be stuck or struggling, something major occurs.  And at other times, when everyone seems to be dealing with their own, inner earthquakes, external disasters pass us by.

But now it doesn't seem useful or helpful to look at things that way. It's too easy to blame or fault, misunderstanding responsibility with the ability to respond.

What happens when you perceive this as Consciousness? When you close your eyes, turn within, step back or drop down,  what do you notice?  Consciousness feels immense.  Consciousness feels impassive.  It feels like the ocean, which gives life and just as easily swallows you up.  It's not personal.

As Consciousness, there is no good or bad.  Earthquakes aren't bad.  Loss of life isn't bad.  There will always be eruptions.  People will always died, and at different ages and under different circumstances than they or others will have preferred.

Step a little more back, drop a little deeper, and there's more awareness flowing.  There is love and caring and appreciation.  And yet birth and destruction and equally creative.  There's acceptance of all that is.  There's a knowingness that all is very well.

Whatever we are each struggling with, is put into perspective.  This, too, shall pass.

We've Forgotten We're Apples

We've Forgotten We're Apples ©2015 Joan M Newcomb (updated from 2010)

I just rewatched a wonderful clip of Carl Sagan explaining the 4th dimension. He does it by demonstrating on a table with using square pieces of paper to represent '2 dimensional beings', which he calls 'Flatlanders'.

These 'Flatlanders' only perceive the world in 2 dimensions. They can go forward and back, and side to side, but up and down do not exist to them.

Then he brings in an apple, representing a 4th dimensional being. The apple hovers over a little square piece of paper and says 'Hello'. The Flatlander has no way of recognizing the apple and instead feels the greeting coming from inside him!

At some point the apple tosses the piece of paper into the air, and the Flatlander has a multidimensional experience, seeing all his little paper friends below. When he returns to his Flatland world, he can't explain to them what happened, because they do not have an 'up' nor 'down'.

As I was watching this, I realize - that's very much what life on Earth is like for folks. They're in their little flat world, and all that exists is what's in front of them, where they're going, or what's behind them, where they've come from. Their only measure of reality or basis of comparison is the other little square pieces of paper on either side.

(I actually knew someone like this; he was a software programmer for Microsoft. I use to say he had the emotional depth of a piece of paper)!

They've forgotten they're apples.

Yes, we exist in this physical reality. And in this world we have time and space. We have the past, where we came from. We have the future where we're going. We have distance and how long it takes for us to get from here to there. We have our bodies and through our bodies we perceive the lighter molecules of oxygen and sunshine, and the denser molecules of the earth and water.  We have emotions and we have thought, and with both of these we make up stories to color our passage through this world.

And, we are more than just our bodies.  We are Apples.  We're above and beyond all of the limitations of time and space, density and effort.

When you're living life as a Flatlander, you may think an apple has come along and tossed you into the air, giving you a brief glimpse of life from an 'airplane's view'.  As a Flatlander you may worry about apples invading your 2 dimensional world and doing this to you.  As a Flatlander you may worry about the other square pieces of paper thinking you're crazy if you have an up-down experience.  Or worry they can stop you from having one!

As an apple, you're aware of being in all places at once.  There's a little slice of you in Flatland, which is fun and amusing.  And the greater part of you is above and beyond that.  You're not worried about the other Flatlanders.  And, truth be told, you're not worried about the other apples.  Because if you go up, up, and up, you realize there *are* no other apple's.  You're It.

You don't feel lonely as the only apple because You're so Big, You're Everything.  And if you go down, down, down, you can interact with the other aspects of yourself you've created.  The other personalities and square bits of paper.

As I mused on this, I wondered, but what about those other Flatlanders when they're getting in my face or giving me a hard time.  At this, I had a Byron Katie moment.  They're just sharing with me their limitations.  They're in pain and discomfort and they're sharing with me their experience.

The more aware of myself as an Apple, the less the pieces of paper get to me.  When I'm an Apple, I don't see the other pieces of papers are limitations to my reality.  They're just elements in my own wonderful creation.

So, this week, I invite you to remember you are an Apple.  Whenever things seem flat, remember you can't perceive beyond this dimension with your human eyes, because they're part of your physical body which only exists in this dimension. You perceive the greater worlds with your extra-perception. You sense them, you Know them.  Use this greater Knowingness to expand your experience.  Try this for a week and see what happens!
