What does Miles-Per-Gallon have to do with Trust?
Stick with me. This is a circuitous route back to trusting excitement and synchronicity as my guides for the year.
This morning I left for my swim workout feeling slightly down, in self-judgment about my lack of effective promotion for a new coaching program, and overwhelmed by a couple of conversations with marketing people this past week. Driving along I noticed that my average miles-per-gallon indicator was quite low and it got me to thinking about indicators. I look at this avg mpg frequently and get kind of excited when I see it on the high end. I feel good about how I’ve been driving and conserving gas, supporting in some small way a cleaner environment. Why is it so low this morning? What did I do to contribute to such poor performance?
I’ve noticed in the past it doesn’t take much idling time to rather dramatically affect this indicator, especially if I’ve just refueled. That’s when it hit me. It doesn’t take but a few negative feelings, a bit of “poor-me” reflections or a round of self-critical barbs to dramatically affect my own indicator of “synchronous manifestations per unit of excitement.” When I stop focusing on excitement and get seduced by “should’s,” then life stops flowing, which is another way of saying synchronicity turns south. My indicator is low! However, the more time I spend taking action from a place of excitement (refueling), the more fun synchronicity I experience (positive manifestations), which leads to creating more of what excites me in my life (supporting others’ inner environment). My indicator is high!
Here’s the punch line. I followed my excitement by talking to two different marketing women this week about some projects. Each of them queried me about my business plan, marketing plan and marketing budget, none of which I have in any kind of structured form. I also totally enjoy listening to the Lightworker Virtual Broadcast. In a recent one, Steve told the story of a business consultant who started a new spiritually based business that ultimately failed. When Steve asked this man about his business plan he commented he had not done one for this business because he was following a spiritual calling, even though he was a specialist at business plans!
But I didn’t even recognize the synchronicity of these events. I “idled” instead on how much time these plans were going to take and wasted energy on feeling impatient and frustrated. It took my car’s mpg indicator to wake me up to my own inner indicator. When I finally saw the path, built through excitement, that led to the synchronicity of hearing 3 times that I need a business plan, I just had to laugh. And with laughter, there is some spaciousness to move toward excitement and jump back on the wagon of my commitment to trusting excitement to take me to where I want to go with this business, even when the path isn’t clear.
What kind of indicators do you have in your life? How often do you look at them? What’s your current reading? Do share. Surely I’m not the only one that has strayed a bit from the new year’s focus.
Sort of like swimming with dolphins
A fundamental theory in the world of quantum physics, Michael Talbot’s “holographic universe” states in part, “at a deeper level of reality, all things in the universe are infinitely interconnected.” This is the very basis of my Coached Collectives community, our infinite interconnectedness with one another that can be experienced, observed, embraced and even transformed.
In groups, I like to play with the possibility that the others in the group represent some aspect of me experiencing life through them. Maybe a group member embodies a quality I admire and I get to feel myself reflecting that quality in his/her life. Or there might be an opportunity to sense what it’s like to have accomplished a skill that in my own life I have no time to pursue. In the “unified field” it is me possessing these qualities and skills.
It’s really a very unique sensation, this interconnectedness. You learn to become aware of yourself as your unique essence combining with, and interconnected to, the essence of the collective group. In my imagination, I think this must feel like how dolphins experience each other when they are swimming together in a pod. A sense of oneness, community, and feeling completely understood and accepted.
And, it’s actually pretty easy to do, because, after all, we’re interconnected. That’s the point. The group learns together how to “swim” synchronously, supporting each other in learning easy ways to feel, sense, and work with this collective energy.
Come experience this “dolphin energy” for yourself! Join me Wednesday, January 27, at 11:00 am CT (noon ET, 9:00 am PT) for a PREVIEW call and get your own experience of interconnectedness. I promise the call will be fun, enlivening, and not at all scary!
Synchronicity Happens
After I wrote about my 2010 focus on the intersection of synchronicity, excitement and multidimensionality I had three synchronous events happen over the weekend that helped to solidify, validate and integrate this desire.
The first was Saturday while I was doing housework and listening to a variety of things on youtube. This video of Bashar popped up (even though it did not meet my search criteria) about what it means to live from a place of excitement and synchronicity. It got me excited!
On Sunday as I was walking in the beautiful crisp sunny morning I listened to my friend Wendy Down lead the Consciousness Playground through an exercise of creating our past. Yes, you read correctly, we created our past. From a quantum physics point of view there is only the present moment and there are just as many probable “pasts” as there are probable “futures.” Lynne McTaggart has done some incredible research around our ability to change the past based on intention (vibration, observation) from the present moment. I worked with shifting this past fall to a place that felt more in alignment with ease and balance. The two strongest vibrations that came forward from this particular past that I was lining up with, centered around designing my website, and moving through the birth of it, with elegance and grace. I’ve often heard these words spoken by Kendall SummerHawk, the “Money and Soul Coach,” but now I have a deep and personal experience of what this actually feels like.
Following directly on the heels of shifting my past, I participated in a holographic delivery of 2010 energy brought through by Reggi Shelley, the Alchemist Energy Practitioner. With over 1100 people on the webinar, she channeled through an amazing energy. The hologram seemed to be wrapped in the violet energy of compassion, transporting in an energy best described as “allowing creation to happen without attachment to what the final creation is to look like.” The focus of 2010, at least through this channel, is to feel for the essence of your desire, letting go of how it might show up. Reggie’s guides specifically mentioned that this energy is distinctly different than 2009, which was focused around bringing up old energies that were ready to be released. Boy did that speak to me on both counts. And, given I had just felt the fullness of a business model founded on “elegance and grace,” I was excited off the charts!
I began my week incredibly jazzed by the synchronous support I received from all of these energy shifts. Now I’m looking forward to this weekend when I get to play in the morphic field of Matrix Energetics. More about that when I write next.
Synching Deeper with Synchronicity
Did you join me in asking your Higher Self (HS) what is ready to shift? I just knew my HS wanted me to let go of judgment. In fact, I had a lot of judgment showing up about how much I interacted with an ongoing background commentary of “compare and contrast” no matter what I was up to. But, every time I attempted to have a dialogue with HS around this, or create a meditative vision around letting judgment go, my HS wasn’t to be found, not interested, at least at this time, with “dropping something.”
No, this New Year is about allowing more of something, rather than letting go. This year I’m to play at a much deeper level with synchronicity. Here’s a short youtube that describes the physics of synchronicity.
Based on my conversations with HS, I’m being encouraged to play with the intersection of synchronicity, excitement, and multidimensionality. Not exactly sure what this means, but what I gathered from my “channel” it looks something like:
As I am one with everything, then there are aspects of me in the form of other people that get excited about marketing, organization, collaboration, and business development. As I play consciously at higher levels of synchronicity, then these aspects of myself will show up, excited to assist me in growing this new business of mine. In a moment-to-moment basis, as I follow my excitement, then it is the excitement that energizes the synchronistic pull of these aspects of myself, in the form of another, to me.
Hmmm, as I write this I can feel how this is going to stretch me in the “trusting in the universe” department. Where is your Higher Self stretching you this year?
