Patterns for the Month of May, 2009

May comes in with a force of positive energy that is greatly needed and allows a huge sigh of relief for everyone from the past 8 months of stress and change. This will be a month of recuperation and healing. There is a feeling of intellectual development in which, as a nation, we are becoming very conscious of the repercussions of our actions that affect the whole world. This allows an awakening of our cultural connection and a renewed sense of community and coming together as a country.

It is time to transmute the old poisonous energies of the past into a rebirth of wholeness and strength. This can be a magical moment for our consciousness but the experience of a magical shift is nothing more than a radical change in your conscious awareness. When your awareness expands your entire feeling and experience opens in response to that. Nothing feels the same afterwards. Your life feels as if it has been touched and there is a feeling of the natural magical flow of life again.

Take a look at where you are hiding from your own amazing perspective and awareness. When we are in a rut and safe, we are often not moving and growing. May is a month where you will not be comfortable but you will have to actively choose to step out of your comfort zone, move into a place of temporary discomfort, and connect to the higher magic that is part of the expression of your true self. Your old identity is like a snakeskin that you have outgrown. It is going to be uncomfortable to shed that skin but then you will emerge with a newfound clarity and a more authentic expression of who you really came to be in the world.

Let go! Trust that there is a part of you that knows exactly what it is doing moment-by-moment. You have an inherent wisdom that is constantly guiding you all the time. Allow that aspect to find an expression that is more congruent with what your natural self actually came to express and give.

May is a gateway towards some completion in your life. Will you allow it? It is often our old beliefs, definitions, roles, and ideals that prevent us from allowing the natural expression of our being. There is a huge difference between what we think is our normal way of being and what is actually our natural way of being.

This is a month when we want to give ourselves permission to step out of our normal way and find what is our natural expression of self.

We think that if we have enough knowledge or tools, then we might have value or have something to contribute. When in actuality, the greatest gift we all carry is the authentic expression of our soul. Nothing is more powerful than being in the presence of someone who is expressing who they authentically are with confidence, acceptance, presence, and grace.

When someone is comfortable with himself or herself they are an incredible gift in the world. You cannot place a financial value on having the opportunity to be in the presence of someone who is being their best self regardless of what others think. When you allow yourself to drop into who you actually are, you become very present in the moment. Because you recognize that as a human being part of the game is about learning how to adapt to each moment as it shifts and changes.

The only constant in the universe is change.

You cannot stay attached to any perspective, belief, or thought if you are actually staying present with each situation and allowing yourself to move with the flow of what is.

So let go of the old need to know better than anyone else what will open you. Allow yourself to trust that someone outside of you might be able to see what you are blocking that is not allowing the fullest expression of your light in this life.

Let go of your need to be right. Let go of your need to carry others and not give yourself the love and attention you need to awaken. Let go of the old fights where you are still holding a grudge. Let go of the fear that you will not have enough because you do not feel as if you are enough. Listen with humor to the drama of your minds constant negating and creation of problems.

You are love.

You are light.

You are consciousness right now.

Not tomorrow. Right now.

Just allow that realization to sink in and let the water of awareness to flow within you again. See what you can become when you are no longer controlling what you think is correct and true. Finding out what and who you really are is the most amazing discovery you will ever experience.

Enjoy the unfolding pathway that May is presenting to you this month.
