I particularly like: "Our priorities will reveal more of who we really are." That can be a very illuminating exercise - to examine what our day to day operating patterns tell us about our priorities versus what we believe them to be in our hearts. Contemplation, meditation, any practice that allows us to go inwards I agree can be very self supporting and empowering in helping us surf the waves of change. Thanks for your comment Kim.

I definitely believe there is a shift of consciousness happening on our planet. And for those that continue to sleep and don't go with the flow.... well I'm afraid they won't be left smelling pretty the end of this economic downturn. For those that are a bit more aware they will probably come around to the idea that losing their job is a blessing (in time!), a chance to start doing work that is meaningful. It is also an opportunity to understand what's really important - and trim the rest. We can afford less so we are forced to make hard decisions. Our priorities will reveal more of who we really are. I find a certain practice very helpful in times like this. Contemplation or any practice that allows you to go inward is essential to ride the waves of change in a graceful way. Contemplation allows us to reach a higher planes of existence and to actually communicate with entities that operate on a higher frequency. Does this sound a little wacky? I understand, but I swear it is as real as the alarm clock that sits on your bedside table. The truth is it can be more real, because whatever we choose to focus our attention becomes our reality. I recently read an incredible book called 'Wake Up! Your Life is Calling' it's by a man named Andy Feld and he explains these ideas in a concise and intelligent way and gives practical ways to develop this practice. Anyway... thanks for listening! Kim Hi Sally- Great post! I definitely believe there is a shift of consciousness happening on our planet. And for those that continue to sleep and don’t go with the flow…. well I’m afraid they won’t be left smelling pretty the end of this economic downturn.

It is also an opportunity to understand what’s really important – and trim the rest. We can afford less so we are forced to make hard decisions. Our priorities will reveal more of who we really are.
