We had a great event with spiritual teacher and sound healer Zacciah Blackburn back in July. Zacciah combined talks about 2012 emergence with deep guided meditations including one he calls Three Hearts Practice. Zacciah describes this as an alignment between ourselves, the Heart of the Cosmos, and the Heart of the Earth.
One of the passages in his talk particularly resonated for me. He is clear and straightforward about the nature of the changes that are taking place and the need to disengage from energies and life patterns that "no longer serve us". And he pointed out that this change must be embraced and accepted as the "new normal".
Going further, Zacciah observed that this change often doesn't feel normal at all. In other words, we're not in Kansas anymore. As he puts it: "Our reality is about to shift in ways most of us do not comprehend. Even many who think they know and tell us much about the new age and awakening do not yet understand the depth of what is occurring. Few of us truly get it. 'Normal' has left us and we shall not see it again"...
When this sinks in, it's easy to go into fear. But it's a bit like that first dive on a rollercoaster. The mind has a near-simultaneous double-edged response. One second it's thinking something like "what have I gotten myself into?" And the next, it segues into "hey this is quite an interesting experience." Recognizing that we're privileged to participate in the Great Awakening at this unique time in human history seems like a good thing to reflect on and feel. Looking at the disruptive events in our lives and on the world stage with a clear eye (i.e. not going into denial about the full human impact of what's happening with events like the Gulf Oil spill) and (somehow!) at the same time staying out of fear is one of the hardest but most important things to do in this journey.
