I have to say that I'm personally feeling a tremendous PUSH to go much deeper in my spiritual practice and connection with Spirit. It's SO strong right now. Are you feeling it too?

I've been connecting with lots of people from all over, and I'm finding that either people are feeling extremely expansive, opening to the Presence of Love more fully than ever - or - they're feeling squeezed and pushed by the last gasps of the old patterns of fear and negativity. 

What if you were to increase your spiritual practice by 15 minutes per day, and that would decrease time wasted in negativity of 1 hour a day? 

Would you choose to make a change, and do something different, if you KNEW it would work?

I'm all about supporting folks in proving it works for them, no matter how hopeless and helpless they feel.

The people I'm talking with who are feeling pushed and squeezed are usually aware that they're focused on things that are upsetting. They're feeling angry, and a bit helpless. Many are depressed. Particularly in the U.S., I'm finding that many longtime spiritual students are still so bothered by what's happening in the world of politics that it's gotten very difficult for them, and they're suffering.

Here's what I absolutely know: when we cling to anything that is false, it will upset us. Truth is never upsetting. It's liberation. 

When we're feeling squeezed, frightened, worried, angry, hurt, depressed, and helpless (in the dark days of winter, no less), then these are the methods that WE are choosing in order to bring on our breakthrough. It takes what it takes.

We can choose to learn through pain, or we can learn through Joy. It's up to us. We are the deciders.
 

The choice to learn through pain or Joy is ours. Learn exactly HOW to become the joy-FULL learner. Learning through pain is very time consuming and laborious. Learning through Joy is much faster and easier.
