~Another Quickening of Change~

A new energy threshold is here this week, the May 10 Full Moon amplifying intensity as we head into the actual doorway of openings during Wesak this weekend.

We have moved through a number of these energy thresholds over the past year, each one building upon the last and creating a critical mass of awakening. Continue reading to discover what this means for you and humanity as a collective.

What do energy thresholds feel like? The answer to that depends on the person, but for those of you who are sensitive it can feel like a big push to change something significant in your life. You may not know what that is, but you feel a sort of urgency to do something different.

What happens with humanity as a collective? In general think of these energy thresholds as electrifying catalysts for societal change. Issues that need resolving will get the spotlight in an amplified way. Example: debates people have 1-on-1 about the state of the world may morph into a more public voicing. It's like the heat gets turned up on controversial issues and people usually silent in public become vocal.

What does the quickening of change look like? In the outer world, all kinds of hidden information can surface and things previously known to only a few can become public in sometimes shocking ways. For you personally, these cycles can bring to your awareness solutions you had not considered or fully applied. You could have sudden flashes of insight into your self-created obstacles and an understanding of key action steps to take for a more fulfilling life. You could find yourself drawn to do something or meet someone - without fully knowing why - and when you act on this impulse you discover some kind of miracle blessing. 

How does Wesak factor in? Energy thresholds involve choices that need to be made. Some of the bigger choices we make in fact happen in advance of a pivotal lifetime like this one. These include decisions to travel a path of spiritual awakening to achieve enlightenment. Wesak is a celebration of enlightenment, connecting with beings like Buddha and Christ who helped show the way. Based on the fact that you are here now and reading these words, you already chose to follow a spiritual path. For you, then, energy thresholds are like a nudge from the universe to deepen your commitment to your path, and to discover expanded ways to fulfill your higher purpose.

How can you prepare for the threshold? The first element is foresight, knowing that an energy threshold is about to occur. The threshold is not just one day, although there are peak moments as we have happening this weekend during Wesak. Being mindful at these times is helpful. When you have a context for events unfolding, it becomes easier to discern happenstance and to take timely advantage of seemingly random insights. The second element involves managing your energy. When we have these energy cycles, things can feel and be intense. Allow for that and increase your spiritual practice. The third element is action. Put yourself in situations that are supportive of your spiritual growth. Be with others who share your desire for spiritual awakening. Give yourself daily moments for inner reflection and stillness. These preparations can help you connect with your inner qualities of joy and peacefulness.
