The Sounds of Approaching Change In Our Life



A lot of emotion accompanies the winds of change blowing into our lives; typically at least a twinge of fear. We are never quite sure what is coming when change is on the horizon; fear is our natural response to change. How do we know when the wind of change is blowing our way? Change arrives through the movement of energy, powerful energy. Energy has sound; learning to recognize the sounds that accompany change will remove the trepidation of the unknown.

You can hear energy? Is that true? Yes! Think it's not possible for you? Think again. Imagine having a problem with your car's engine. You don't know engines so the cause is an unknown. As you pull into the shop where a trained mechanic is guiding you it is common for them to immediately identify the problem; they can hear the change in the function of the engine. The noise was always there but you didn't know what it meant; only that something has changed. Had you known to listen for a particular sound and what it meant, the cause would not have been elusive or surprising to you. The same is true with the movement of energy. We can hear and identify it, with a little training. You need to know what the sounds mean!

Love and joyful changes have a lighthearted energy as it enters our lives. You may suddenly be drawn to or notice harmonious chimes, tinkling bells, birds singing or other lighthearted sounds. Your attention is drawn to the sounds. You may also wake you feeling light on your feet and be able to accomplish things in record time. Good change is in the wind.

Children entering your life frequently bring the sounds of laughter. You may suddenly notice other people laughing around you or children's laughter as they play, your attention may be drawn to commercials that feature the sounds of babies and you find yourself really attracted to them.

New pets on your horizon almost always arrive after you suddenly notice pet stores, humane shelters, and advertisements to support animals and even commercials that feature animals. They feel warm and fuzzy to you; you remember the sounds of their communications.

As a new job opportunity is approaching you may find yourself drawn to different interests in the business world. You may suddenly notice the sounds of the equipment that is essential to that industry. Your attention is also diverted to the dress codes, benefits and pitfalls in that industry. Every business has sounds that are particular to it. Your attention may be suddenly riveted to those businesses and their sounds. Pay attention!

Talk, gossip and even scandal is approaching through the sounds of water. You may even dream of flooding around you. Your attention is drawn to rivers and muddy bodies of water leaving you with a shiver you can't really account for. You are suddenly more aware of the sounds of moving water.

A breakup in a relationship arrives through the sounds of sadness. You can hear the sadness around you. Your attention is fixated on things that are sad and the sounds that accompany them, particularly in songs that you hear. You pay more attention to the sad songs, breaking up songs and the leaving songs for no particular reason.

Hard changes that will affect your life for a long time are accompanied by heavy, slow moving sounds. You may suddenly notice the sounds of trains or large trucks stopping, bass drums in music may suddenly seem louder; movies that feature the heavy sounds of ancient deep noises may attract your attention.

Serious illness is accompanied by silence. Your body is a form of energy. Tune in and you can hear your own moods; they are light, harried, soft, tired, content... there are a multitude of emotions that you have lived with and grown accustomed to. Serious illnesses also bring a sense of impending doom for no apparent reason. If you tune in and hear silence seek medical care.

All big change is on our horizon before it actually arrives in our life. At a much higher level, we are aware of the impending change. That same higher consciousness is directing our attention to the sounds of the change that is approaching. Train yourself to listen to the sounds that suddenly catch your attention; what emotion comes to mind immediately when you hear them? That is the change that is approaching.

Running Against the Wind

At some time in our life we are all running against the wind; we grow weary of things that never seem to change and decide to heave the weight of commitments, deadlines and regrets. Whatever the cause, we hit the ground running and don't have any desire to look back. We are finished with some chapter in our lives and need to feel the winds of change blowing against our face. We are done, and so we run. Is it OK to run away? Sometimes it is.

People run for a host of reasons, from a youthful desire to experience 'freedom' from the constraints of authority to those who simply cannot bear to stand in place any longer. The children will grow up and into adulthood; it is inevitable. For those who just must go, a swift glance confirms that drama is lurking somewhere close by in their lives.

Drama is uncomfortable, signaling a lack of balance; yet some people need to keep it front and center in their lives. The need for drama stems from feelings of being insignificant. Somehow, events have unraveled along the way that allowed this false idea to become a reality to the offender, and the drama begins. It is there to make waves, to disturb the peace of those in the path of the perpetrator, and to force the attention of anyone in 'targeting range' to acknowledge the existence and importance of a person who imagines no one hears them or cares.

Sometimes it is hard to determine who the victim is and who the perpetrator of this destructive force of energy is. The real perpetrator is typically skilled at manipulating events to their benefit, leaving innocent victims wondering what they may have done to cause normal events to turn into dramatic, angry exits. Did you do something to cause such a disruption? Should you run after the person who has chosen to run against the wind? The answer is no, and no.

We experience the need to really run when we are weary, when troubles come or our hearts are burdened; we run from the pain of a life that has begun to define us, and the belief that it will define our tomorrows. There may be a host of adversity about running away, but when you don't see the answer or don't have the courage to save yourself; it can be your salvation.

While restless hearts beat imperfectly, they are filled with wonder; it is a time when not knowing what tomorrow brings is a relief because yesterday's glimpse of eternity was unbearable. The best of part of running is that when we put enough distance between our past and focus on our future, we remember that we have a choice; we see choices that we forgot were available. Suddenly our future is not as dreary as we feared; we realize that different choices drown our fears and give us the courage to rise above what used to be.

Deal with change, for, Change is a fact of life

How Well Do You Deal With the Winds of Change?


How well do you deal with change? Do you fight change or accept it? There are three things we can count on in life: death, taxes, and change. Changes can be rather difficult to deal with. Here are five strategies that might be helpful.
1. Strive to think positive about change. Look for a silver lining in whatever is changing. There must something positive about the change. The only way life improves for us is that some kind of change takes place. If you can't think of anything positive about the looming change in your life, maybe it's time to change your perspective on the change. Sometimes people get fired from their jobs or let go through no fault of their own. Their company was downsizing and they were caught in the winds of change. Many of these people search for a replacement job until they eventually get one. And sometimes that job is even more fulfilling than the one they left. That possibility turns out to be the best silver lining of all.
2. Meanwhile, be as positive as you possibly can be. Even if the world seems to be crumbling around you, fake it to you make it. That doesn't mean that I am asking you to be a phony. I am asking you to strive to be positive about changes and the future. You may even attract people who will help you deal with the problematic changes by presenting them with a positive outlook on your part.
3. Accept the change as well as you can. Accepting is very important because fighting changes drains you of energy to deal effectively with the mandated changes in your lifestyle. Don't dread the future. Be open to possible positive possibilities.
4. Create an action plan that deals with the painful issues in your life. Do whatever you can that's a healthy strategy make things better. Don't shy away from asking for help. You might discover that some of the least likely people might offer some meaningful help. Create your own personal support group that will decrease the stress that you feel. Let them know you will be there for them in their time of need. Be grateful for their presence in your life. It will pay big emotional dividends for you later on.
5. If you look for the good in the world, you'll find it. If you look for the bad in the world, you'll find it. It's your choice. If you accept change, stay positive, look for a silver lining, create an action plan, and fake it to you make it, you will most likely make it in style!
May the winds of change carry you to a better place in life.
