Preparation
Today, we are greeted by the energy of our higher selves, our guides and our angels. They come forth to encourage us to take the time to learn what we need in order to feel safe, to feel comfort, to feel more at ease. When we are willing to do the self-discovery necessary to truly understand what our needs are and how we function, we are able to make sure that we have what we need in any situation.
This allows us to be present and take the situation before us in stride, no matter what it is. Indeed, preparation - often very simple - is key to allowing us to maintain our equilibrium. This does not mean that we will not feel a range of emotions around change or challenge. It means that we will be have better equipped ourselves to handle it.
We are in a period of tremendous change and upheaval. It has only just begun. The next 6 to 8 years will see more change than we have experienced in the last 100 years. This is part of the transition to a new paradigm and the higher frequency energies we now have access to.
We are repeatedly invited to go inside and to know ourselves, to understand the why’s, who’s, and what’s of our thought and behavior process. This allows us to plan for the unexpected from a deeply grounded place. It assists us in not reacting or getting swept along with our fear or traumatic reactions, or those of others. Thus, it does not foster additional drama or chaos.
It further assists us in coming out of anticipation and apprehension - which are 99% of the time much worse than anything that we eventually have to deal with to handle a situation.
We are also reminded that we have many tools to release stress and anxiety, redirect our thought processes, and come back into a more harmonious, balanced state. This allows us to continue to hear our inner guidance and to respond, rather than react to whatever challenge arises.
It is also healthier for our bodies, which attempt to assist us by providing some form of resolution for the things the mind cannot resolve. These solutions are often not something we would consciously wish to have and can range from a cold, respiratory infection, all the way to cancer or other disease.
As we have discussed, change is the only constant and will become even more so in the years before us. Learning to view change as beneficial, even if it is unsettling, uncomfortable, and/or challenging, will assist us profoundly. This asks us to know that some part of us always has the answer - the part of us that remains in Spirit - and that we will know and have all that we need in the proper timing.
Everything is in divine order and we are safe. And, new opportunities for growth, expansion, and abundance will come forth.
Take the time to connect with your guides and higher self today. How do you feel about change in general? How do you feel about changes that you are being asked to make in your life? How do you feel about the unknown? Are you willing to become open to changes showing up in your life?
Do you believe that you do and will always have everything that you need? Do you feel safe? If not, why not? What do you need to feel safe? Are you willing to provide that safety or some portion of it for yourself today?
Is there one area of your life where you can make preparations so that you feel that you have what you need to handle the changes?
What allows you to feel comfortable? What fosters this in different situations in your life? For example, do you bring your pillow when you travel or have a kit prepared so that you know your needs will be met when away from home?
Do you know what form of exercise, movement, or practice assists you in quieting the mind and coming back to self? Are you engaging in this? Are you willing to do so more often?
When we can maintain presence and know that we are not in danger, the solution or resolution will appear in the perfect timing. We are not alone and are deeply supported by Spirit and our Higher Selves.
The message of this card from our Higher Selves is: “Stay calm. Adapt. Accept Change. Things will work out in surprisingly positive and beautiful ways.”
