Focus vs. Receptivity


If you are waiting for something to happen before you begin what you want to do, it will never happen. If you are waiting for the right time, the right person, the right circumstances, you could be waiting forever.


Happy Solstice Day, Happy Day-of-Most-Light! 

While scrolling through my wall I saw the above status and picture via Iyanla Vanzant on Facebook this morning, and both struck me. The quote - to me - speaks of being so much in a state of receptivity, that you fail to act. It is one end of the spectrum. In many of my readings lately, and just noticing of the energies now, we must switch gears a bit. We must start to move about our lives in a different way. This is no longer the time of (strictly) "wait and see". Just even two years ago we were still in a bit of a holding pattern with energy, a state of mostly waiting to see what comes. We were, at the same time, still of the consciousness of having to "focus" and "go after" what we really wanted. There was a bit of a fight with the energies. 


Currently, those are balancing out... Both of those "feet" are learning their rhythm together, to dance our way through life rather than swing from inactivity to super-active. Petal-to-the-metal, then slamming on the brakes and idling for a while. Things are becoming more fluid. It is time to really be IN WITH the flow, not just to go with the flow. 


So much information has come through lately in regards to shifting from focusing on something as a way of manifesting. In the olden times (you know - the denser times... even up to a few years ago), the "way of getting things done" was to focus, focus, focus. It was a laser beam of intellect and intention, coupled with the force of "going for it" and being relentless. We are completing a movement into energies where this will no longer work as well, or at least there is an easier way. The energies we are moving into are more in alignment with having a thought of something that you want, allowing it to be, letting it go, and then watching how it comes into your life. The lesser amount of focus you have, the quicker it comes in. It is not about staring at a particular doorway in a hallway to see what is coming, but about realizing that you are not even in a building in the first place. 


The miracles are happening at such a pace right now - there are miracles all around us, if we just looked up for a minute and saw them, recognized them. The picture above is so profound in this sense. What the image says to me is to look up and see that the train is right in front of you, ready to take you where you are reading about. If she would just look up for one moment, the miracle is so huge and so right in front of her, that she is missing it. 


Sometimes the obvious things are the miracles we are looking for. But it is time to widen our gaze. It is time for less focus and more trust. It is time for intention, then allowing. The balance between focus and receptivity. Have an intention of what it is you want, then allow it to come in ways you could not imagine. Put down the toy. Stop tinkering. Simply see what you want, or speak it, and allow. The energies are so ripe right now for manifestation - you will be amazed at how fast things appear. This is truly the time of Magic! 


All of the things we saw and read about in The Secret movie and/or book are truly coming to pass now. It is of utmost importance that we shift our thoughts to the positive - to be absolute in what it is that we want, and let go of what we don't want. Notice what it is you don't want, perhaps, but use it only as a reference point for what you do want. You may notice so many things you do not want (i.e., "I don't want a partner who cheats on me"), but we don't have time for this anymore. We must notice it, and shift it (i.e. "I want a partner who is trustworthy, honest, and honors me and our relationship"). 


It is time for us to go deeper. Anyone can look a the surface of something and decide they don't like what it looks like, but what DO you like? Get to the root of it, and then declare it to the Universe/God/The Big Burrito In The Sky. 


Amazing things are happening, people! We are living in SUCH amazing times, if we only allow ourselves to see it. We are living in Times of Magic... We are truly creating our lives and our realities. 


SO! What Magic are you going to allow into your experience today? What Miracles are you willing to see? What Amazement are you co-creating with The All That Is today?


Have fun! Enjoy! Shine!
In the Magic of All That Is,
Holly


P.S. Just as an example, as I edit this post and am ready to "publish", "This Magic Moment" came on via Pandora, on a station that has no business playing that song. Hilarious! =)
