The Shift! What's that all about?

Have you noticed that you’re feeling different about things lately?

Maybe you are feeling restless or dissatisfied with the way things are. Possibly you’re questioning your life and are beginning to ask, “Is this all there is?” Your work seems meaningless. Your life seems directionless. Your relationship lacks … something. Or you can’t seem to find a relationship that works.

Have you noticed that old wounds you thought had healed are beginning to surface again? Possibly it’s harder to be around certain family members. Perhaps you just don’t see eye to eye with your friends anymore – as if you’re on two different wavelengths. Maybe you’ve noticed that old interests just aren’t interesting anymore.

If any of this resonates for you, then you’re not alone. Many of us are beginning to experience symptoms of what is called the Shift.

What is the Shift?

The Shift is described as a process of rapid spiritual awakening – an unprecedented event in human history. Yet, according to Vidya Frazier (Awakening to the Fifth Dimension) this Shift has been predicted by spiritual teachers, astrologers, indigenous elders, and visionaries from various religious traditions and cultures from around the world and down through the ages.

Some spiritual teachers explain that this Shift is happening because earth has recently begun to travel through the middle of the Milky Way, something it does roughly every 26,000 years. What’s unusual about this part of the galaxy is that very high frequencies exist there. These higher frequencies are absorbed by matter, which causes everything, including our earth and all its inhabitants (meaning us) to vibrate at higher frequencies. This and other cosmic events are affecting our galaxy, fueling a rapid collective spiritual evolution, or awakening.

It sounds wonderful, but it also has significant repercussions! These high frequencies are also fueling a rapid change in our personal as well as our spiritual growth. Many of us are finding that we have been tossed into a situation in which we very quickly need to let go of old patterns, beliefs, judgments, feelings, and what we’ve thought about our reality.

This is leaving many of us feeling challenged. By that I mean life, our relationships, our work, our health, everything that was “normal” is getting shaken up and being called into question. Many have a sense of confusion, fear, dissatisfaction, irritability … things just don’t feel right anymore.

The good news is that if you are feeling these symptoms, then you have actually signed up to incarnate at this time to help usher in this new wave of higher frequencies that is sometimes referred to as the Ascension Process.

The trick on how to cope with this process is to avoid resisting what’s happening. It’s important to be gentle with yourself. Slow down! Allow yourself more quiet time so you can process the feelings and emotions that are coming up. Give yourself time to feel, yes feel, the emotions.

Take time to think about why are you irritable, angry, afraid, dissatisfied, etc. Reflect on what is the true source of what you are feeling. Many times you can trace the feeling all the way back to your childhood, to your small younger self when you were vulnerable and had reasons to feel afraid, lonely, rejected, or abandoned. Acknowledge those feelings. Just accept them.

Then send some compassionate thoughts to your younger self who struggled so much. Reassure your younger self, and your adult self, that it’s OK now. Whatever the challenge that overwhelmed you when you were younger, now you can handle it because NOW you are an adult. You now have the skills, experience, and knowledge to take care of yourself. The past is behind you. Let it go. Don’t try to suppress it, or try to bury it! Just let it go.

Then take a look at your life, relationship, work, health, attitudes, and behaviors. Notice anything that no longer serves you – and notice what it is you want to change. Then let go of what is no longer serving you. It’s unnecessary, so just let it dissolve. Then take steps making some much-needed change so that you can find more peace, joy, and love in your life.

Sometimes, when you need to make changes, you need to ask for help, seek guidance, or find a supportive community who understands what you are going through.
