The True Holiday spirit

How often we tend to lose the spirit of the holiday and get caught up in the energies of mass consciousness, the spending frenzy, fear, panic and depression. This doesn’t have to be the case, but we have been trained over the years to allow our energies to get outside ourselves. When this happens, we get sucked in to lower vibrations.

Holidays can be difficult times for many. This year is no exception. Third dimensional reality displays rampant unemployment, sickness, and governmental upheaval. On top of this we have major weather disruptions and the threat of terrorism. If we aren't careful, we can easily get pulled into the drama. In fact, many of us on our path to higher consciousness unconsciously allow the thoughts of the masses to influence our emotions. How many times to you find yourself sad or depressed for no obvious reason?

All of these manifestations are reflections of our own inner landscapes. During this time of year the veils are very thin between dimensions as well, so not only are we seeing and feeling our issues in the outer world, but we are also dredging up old memories, wounds and such from other dimensional aspects of our realities—other lifetimes even. The consciousness on Earth right now is one of change, of growing into higher vibrations and frequencies and shedding everything from our past that no longer serves or supports our energy. Everything that is not love that we perceive around us is simply a reminder, a marker that we have more work to do to release our lower energies so that we can become our best and highest good.

This time of year should be a time of joy and a time of renewal. Almost every spiritual tradition supports this, but where is this joy? Are you having difficulty decorating your house or buying holiday gifts this year? There seems to be a pervasive sense of lethargy hanging in the air. Part of this is due to the immense amount of change we are going through. Many of us know we are on the verge of a breakthrough or a new direction, but we can’t seem to see clearly enough to know where to step. Partly this is due to the flux itself. Reality is like Jello right now! It’s trying to set up, but it hasn’t quite made it. If you ever watched your grandmother make a gelatin salad for the holiday table, you can get a sense of what this means. First she created the colored Jello. Then, before it was fully set, she added fruit, cream cheese, maybe some coconut, and stirred it all up. One moment it looked like a completed dessert, but in the blink of an eye it was turned into something else altogether—something even more delicious than you would have imagined!

Let's use our thoughts to become the change! If everyone who reads this blog participates, this could be a truly great experiment. Set aside a moment to go within to that place where love resides inside you. Look in that safe place where you store your treasures, right behind your heart. This is where you find the joy that can light up this holiday season for you, and when you flip that switch, you send your Light out into the world so that others can see it and remember the truth about why we are here. It can become a domino effect.

The real purpose behind this holiday season isn't the giving of gifts or the fancy parties. It is the remembering and rebirthing of your own personal TRUTH. You are both unique and powerful as the creator of your reality, and this season offers you the time to use your personal gifts to do just that - to create JOY. As you remember the feelings of joy, they become contagious, and you are able to share them with other. As you share joy, it grows within you. So take a moment each day to become joy.
