Come to the edge

I've been asked to write a little about the enormous energy shifts taking place this year. I can honestly tell you that I have experienced many different things. You, too, might be feeling some of these things and I would appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Mainly, I've felt very tired—as though I can barely move. My body doesn't want to do anything too strenuous and very often I've felt a lot of body aches and pains. I've also experienced a loud and high frequency sound in my ears that seems like I'm listening to at least 2 or 3 octaves of notes at once. Maybe some people would call it tinnitus, but it's not the same.

I've felt dizzy and have an almost daily stomach upset. This latest round of energy has been quite intense! I've also been experiencing very vivid dreams and while I'm sleeping, I have the impression that I'm being given very specific instructions. When I wake up in the morning, I feel as though I had been working all night! It's definitely not very restful, and all day I keep wondering what it was that I was told. What exactly were the instructions I was given? During the day I'll hear a word, or read something, and it seems to set off some memory but I can't quite recall it.

I've experienced intense sadness that makes me cry in an instant. It passes quickly, but I think it's a clearing away of much of the lower vibrating energy.

Sometimes I feel as though I've slid back down into my past and starting over again with my life, and it leaves me feeling a little frustrated because I don't want to have to re-learn everything. I'll suddenly react to something the way I used to maybe 15 or 20 years ago! Who was that person? What happened to the positive and kind person I thought I was? It's not a pretty sight!

So, these are just some of the things I have been experiencing since early spring. The new energies are coming in so strong and so fast that I think many people are feeling overwhelmed by them. We're being gently (?) prodded to quickly move ourselves along--but not until we have completely released all those old patterns and beliefs. I think those old patterns are coming up so we can see who we were back then--and then leave that behind, this time knowing we have come a very long way.

But, the difference this time around is that we don't get much time to release before the next big round of energy hits! The Universe is really trying to help us move along--but quickly. Very, very quickly. I think we are processing more in this one lifetime than we've ever done before. We're being prepared for a huge leap of consciousness—a quantum leap.

I'm reminded of the quote by Guillaume Apollinaire: "Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew."

We're getting very close to that edge! Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to fly!
