Mystic Minute: Being Flexible During Uncertain Times

Serenity Amidst Chaos

Seventeen years ago, I was training to become a CPC (certified professional coach) and being coached myself. I asked her how to maintain a sense of calm within the storm of my life at the time. She had me come up with an image, and I immediately saw a Buddhist monk in saffron gold robes.

A Buddhist monk can maintain serenity regardless of whether they’re standing on a mountain in Tibet or in the midst of the Mall of America at Christmas.

It was a very effective visual image. Later she gifted me some sheer saffron cloth, which was a lovely affirmation as well.

I’ve moved several times since then and have no idea where that cloth is, but I sure could have used it this week.  Our neighbors are having a new roof put on and the noise and chaos coming through to my office has been unbearable.

We’re in tumultuous times. There are earthquakes, fires, and floods happening. There’s combustive events in the news. Astrologically we have some very major eclipses coming up and people are already feeling things being suddenly “eclipsed” in their lives.

What helped me in the last few days was being aware that, even if my nerves were frayed from high pitched tools and staple guns, there was a part of me that had a bigger picture of what was going on. That greater awareness could navigate through the “Sturm und Drang”.

What surprised me during this time was how upset my body was, and how emotionally detached I was as Consciousness, at the same time. I wasn’t in denial that my nerves were shot. I just continued taking the next indicated action. Kind of like a mom that needs to get her errands done with a toddler that is overstimulated and needs a nap.

Finally yesterday afternoon I plugged in the earbuds (wished I’d remembered them earlier) and blared TedTalks really loud. Pandora would have been a better choice for concentrating and working but by that time I was done, completely done, with work.

Operating as Consciousness doesn’t necessarily mean having all aspects of ourselves on board. Doesn’t mean our bodies and our personalities are as composed as Consciousness. It just means letting Consciousness drive. The rest can sit in their car seats or nap in the back seat.

Our bodies and personalities just want Consciousness to drive anyway. Even if they seem to be struggling for control.

We are not our bodies nor our personalities. We are Consciousness. We created Our bodies and our personalities as vehicles in the physical. We’re meant to inhabit them, and drive the car from within them.

When you shift your identification away from just being your body, or your personality, to being Consciousness, it completely changes your life.

Imagine yourself as greater Consciousness, and imagine focusing into form. I like to pick an ‘anchor point’ in my body as a focal point. It’s like you, as Consciousness, are the entire internet. And your body is the device you’re using. Your focal point is your inner cellular connection.

Play with this, play with bringing your information as Consciousness into your form. And notice what happens!

Mystic Minute: What Freedom Really Is!

Is There Such A Thing As “Divine Timing”? ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

There’s a kind of fatalistic viewpoint, that things happen in ‘divine timing’, it’s along the lines of whether something is ‘God’s Will’.

The “good” part of that perspective is that it can get you out of effort or trying to hard to make something happen. When you’re working on manifesting into the physical, effort can have the opposite effect – it can keep it from happening. Which is why often things materialize when you least expect them, or when you’ve stopped trying.

It’s also useful to let go of ‘how’ you’re going to manifest something, along with ‘when’ it’s going to materialize. Turning that over, allows you to keep your focus on ‘what’ you want to bring into form.

The part of you that wants to control things down to minutiae, isn’t Consciousness. It’s your body-personality aspect.

When you desire something, as Consciousness you already have it. It already exists. You just need to step into the Universe where it is. Or, you just need to shift your energy to receiving it.

“But what about the timing? I want it NOW!” Body-personality says.

Bodies only exist in the now, in present time. The future doesn’t exist yet, the past is already over. They want it NOW.

And, if you’re operating fully as Consciousness into form, it’s entirely possible to spontaneously manifest something.

Certainly, when you’re operating as Consciousness, amazing things unexpectedly appear to come out of left field.

When you say something is ‘divine timing’, you’re usually saying it’s either not happening as quickly as you’d like, and/or you are just so grateful – to something outside of yourself – that it finally happened.

As Consciousness, You exist outside of time and space, so it all possibilities are happening at once. Consciousness’ timing is random, spontaneous, and instantaneous. It’s unpredictable only because it happens outside of rational thought.

It happens *better* when you’re not thinking about it. I like to say when you’re creating as Consciousness, what shows up is beyond what you could imagine. It manifests bigger especially when you’re not thinking.

Creating in this new reality seems to require the exact opposite of everything we’ve ever learned about manifestation. Focus and repetition seem to repel what you want. Releasing, letting go, holding it off to the side, works better.

Precise formulas don’t really work anymore, much to the frustation of our body-personality-rational-mind. 5D into 3D is very improvisational.

When you’re creating as Consciousness, you’re coming from a place of experimentation and curiosity. There’s no attachment to an outcome. As You step into the Universe where it already is happening, there’s a feeling of childlike delight.

This work is very subtle and very profound.

‘Divine Timing’ is an old paradigm and contains an implied limitation. Consciousness Timing is expansive. Want to manifest a desire? Step into the Now where it already is, and see what happens!

How to Know If It’s Time To Pivot @2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

You know when things just suck and you want to throw in the towel? Or maybe you’re at a breaking point. Or maybe you are done, like, “stick a fork in me, I’m done!” kind of done.

Or maybe you’ve been stuck in indecision, or maybe you’re stuck in persistence. That is, trying so hard for so long, but not wanting to give up trying.

How do you know if you need to keep slogging at it, or pivot in another direction?

Sometimes decisions require immediate action, and sometimes a solution needs to emerge.

Several months ago I felt like I was at a turning point. I felt burned out with what I was doing. I was wondering whether to quit this and become a hospice chaplain. I’d actually applied for chaplaincy training back in 2001 and backed out at the last minute. It’s something I could do now, as a ‘real world job’ that wouldn’t take the same energy my current calling requires. Or so I thought.

Then I got chosen to give a talk at Ignite Seattle,  out of *lots* of applicants. Which felt like a nudge to continue.

Ignite Seattle happened just before a scheduled trip to Europe to visit my son, so I decided to let my decision “float” while I was gone. I thought I’d get inspiration while I was on vacation.

Instead, I came back to the same issue. The same feeling of burnout and frustration.

And then this week my 15 year old Corgi was diagnosed with cancer and we’ve been doing doggie home hospice for her. It’s brought up a ton of feelings from 2013 when I helped our other dog, and both my parents, each die at home. And I got really clear about that part of the decision.

Emma dying on my kitchen floor helps me shut that door. No way do I want to work in hospice. Or hospitals, actually. So ditch that idea (what was I thinking)?!?

This reminds me of times where something happens that is the turning point, the straw that breaks the camel’s back, when I wouldn’t have let go or given up until then.

So instead of doing a summer chaplaincy training, I’m midwifing my dog to spirit. That’s requiring a lot of focus, but it won’t need to be sustained for a long time.

I still get energized by speaking and teaching, I’m still passionate about helping people transform. But the way I’ve been doing it needs to change.

In the old days a door would have slammed shut. In the old days bridges would have burned.

Navigating in this new Consciousness, is a more gentle way. Simply releasing the past and allowing the new path to appear.

So if you’re struggling, if you feel like you are spinning your wheels, if you are stuck in a traffic jam or hitting a brick wall, stop. You don’t have to blow up the blocks.

Just step back and let the scenario change. Or step into a parallel universe where it’s already different.

Mystic Minute: If We Create This Reality, Why Do We Create Death?

Money Is Neutral

Money Is Neutral ©2017 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

This week I was a little surprised when I heard someone say that ‘money is neutral’. I mean, I’ve had a lot of experience with money, from having a lot of it to not having any. It was great to have a lot, and problematic not having any. It’s never seemed to me to be neutral.

I’ve also worked with the Deva of Money, who comes across to me as an ocean. The ocean may seem placid at times on the surface, but it is deep, and can change with the weather. It may be filled with life that nurtures you, but also can be deadly so you should never turn your back on it.

And then it struck me, that it’s how we feel about money that is decidedly not neutral.

The energy of money is not only neutral but impartial. It doesn’t automatically appear in your bank account because you’re a good person. It’s just energy.

There is no good nor bad about money. It’s an avenue of exchange. It’s an expression of appreciation. It’s an energy form. It’s a morphic field.

Our stories about money are dramatic. They’re tied into our survival. We’ll die without it, we think. People have killed themselves (and their families) over debt. And there are other stories, people doing good things for others with money.

It’s funny. Not having money is bad, having money is good, and yet we demonize rich people. They’re not spiritual, they’re unconscious, they’re disconnected.

People are people. There are wealthy people who are spiritual, conscious, and connected. Just like there are poor people who aren’t. It can’t really be dichotomized like that. I find usually people are a mix of everything, because they’re human.

As I started writing this blog, a little voice said, ‘yeah, tell ’em how to get more’.  Because that’s what we all want, right? We never have enough.

Abraham Hicks says “The world is awash in money! Do you hear what that means? It is awash in money. It is flowing for everyone. It is like Niagara Falls. And most of you are showing up with your teaspoons.”

The more I think about it, the more like the ocean ‘money’ is. It is vast and present and available for you to utilize. It is completely neutral.

And, as an energy, it is infinite. It’s our ability to have or receive it that shrinks or expands. We can propel it away, or attract it.

Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer both have told a story of waiting for the Maharishi, who was finishing a meeting about a project. Someone asked him, “but Maharishi, where is the money going to come from?” And the Maharishi smiled and waved his hand, “from wherever it is at the moment.”

At one level, money is an energy that flows. At a higher level, it just materializes. As we expand energetically to embody more of our 5D self into this 3D form, as we are greater Consciousness within this physical realm, it becomes more easy and effortless to manifest whatever we want.

Which transcends money, because whatever we want isn’t the actual numbers or currency, but the freedom it represents.

And here’s the funny thing about that. As Consciousness we already have whatever we want. As Consciousness, we already *are* freedom.

How would your life be different if you knew that?
