Coincidence

Daily I am reminded of how magical life is. The other day I experienced what most of the world would consider coincidence, but what I have come to realize is simply using my tools.

Merriam-Webster lists one of the definitions of coincidence, in part, as: “the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection…” [my emphasis]

With all due respect to Merriam-Webster, it is no “accident,” and it does not “seem” to have a connection, it does have a connection.

Expanded awareness in everyday life

This post was delayed since we had a substantial spring snow storm Thursday and Friday and it took a little while to dig out the neighborhood.

Life today is quite complex for most of us. There is work, and the family, the kids have sporting events and practice, there is homework and PTA meetings, laundry, shopping, and the list goes on and on and on. For many people, finding the time to journey or meditate can be difficult. That does not mean you cannot connect with your spirit helpers and guides when you could use their help.

When you step onto the path to expanded awareness your life begins to change and more tools become consciously available to you. It is very reassuring to know there are a host of spirits and guides outside of ordinary reality that are ready, willing, and able to help you reach your goal for this life. And they are there for you all the time. All you have to do is turn your awareness in that direction and make the connection.

Although I do not know about other systems out there, one of the things emphasized at the Visionseeker Shamanic Retreats taught by Hank Wesselman and Jill Kuykendall, and at The Monroe Institute is that these expanded states of awareness, and the connections with our spirit helpers and guides, are available to us at any time. If we need to make a difficult decision or find a solution to a problem, or we would like a clearer perspective, all we have to do is pop upstairs. There is no need to wait until we get home for a formal journey.

Positive and negative polarities

In case you had not noticed, the world is a very polarized place today (duh?). This polarization is fed to us, and enforced, by our “leaders” and the news media; everywhere we turn it seems someone is trying to drive a wedge between us. It reminds me of playing a game of dodge ball in high school gym class.

A prime example is the case of those “for” and “against” the war. Being against the war is not coming from the positive polarity, it is still a negative. When Mother Theresa was asked if she would ever attend an anti-war rally, she said no, but she would attend a pro-peace rally.

One of the things stressed in my shamanic studies is for us all to work at staying in the positive polarity, because when we do not, we cannot do what we came here to do. When you are in the negative polarity, that is what you will attract in your life, and when you are in the positive polarity, you attract positive experiences.
