Dear Ones,
The energies of 2012 are speeding up and those who are Awakened Ones are feeling the energetic shifts in their personal, professional and political lives. Are you awake?
In personal lives, transformations are occurring at a rapid pace. People are dealing with changes that they had never imagined. Relationships, homes, health, finances – all areas are showing signs of restructuring. How is the energy of transformation showing up in your life today?
Professional lives are shifting in enormous ways around the globe. Businesses are being forced to reassess their mission and their relationship to employees. Employees are rethinking loyalty to a company that displays no loyalty to them. Many are shifting their energies from being employed by a big company to creating their own company and becoming entrepreneurs. Taking charge of generating one’s own income is a form of financial independence that relying on a paycheck from someone else cannot equal.
One’s political life doesn’t really mean being a member of a particular political party. Rather, it refers to one’s life as a member of the ‘body politic’ or the collection of individuals in a certain place. Are you examining your role in your community? Are you assessing your values as they relate to others around you? Are you able to make decisions considering the well-being of all rather than your own selfish desires? Are you acting in a way that creates a healthy relationship with those around you and with Mother Earth? Are you cognizant of generations to come and what your choices today mean to those future generations?
2012 has long been heralded as the year that would bring with it major changes. Many have posited what those changes would be. We would tell you that the place to look for change is within yourself and within your own sphere of life. Are you actively pursuing your personal growth? This is really your only mission for these days of 2012.
Personal growth is the path to change for your higher good. One can never stand still, no matter how hard you try or how much you resist change. The energy of transformation is around and inside of you. Your DNA has been awaiting this moment in time so that you could blossom into the New Human that the evolution of human consciousness has created. 2012 energies support your shifting from the old paradigms into the new. If you resist, you will be attempting to hold back a mighty push of evolutionary energy. Do you really want to spend yourself fighting that push?
Resisting change is really a choice to move backward. Awakened Ones are people who are willing to evolve. Knowing that change is a part of the evolutionary process allows you to ‘go with the flow,’ to move in the direction of greater consciousness, higher awareness.
Reach for this growth. Examine yourself in the light of 2012 consciousness. Your Life Purpose is waiting to be expressed as a part of helping humanity to its higher level of understanding, an expression of the Consciousness of the Universe.
Self-examination for personal growth allows whatever is happening around you in 2012 to have meaning. You are a part of the evolutionary process underway. You can choose to resist and go backward or you can choose to move forward. There is no standing still.
Which direction will you choose?

MUSE-INGS: Healing vs. Curing, an Interesting Concept
July 11, 2012 — RosemaryMany years ago I shared a weekend retreat with Dr. Bernie Siegel, a cancer surgeon who has pioneered the understanding of the mind/body connection in medicine. It was a very special weekend with a small group of us experiencing amazing personal growth in a loving environment. Bernie Siegel introduced me to the idea that healing a life is more important than curing a disease. He spoke of cancer patients who held the space for broken families to come together and heal their wounds around the person who was sick. After the healing, the person might or might not be cured of their disease. Sometimes it was a couple who had grown angry with each other who found healing when they focused their attention on working together to combat the illness, drawing them into a shared battle that resulted in a new closeness. Sometimes it was siblings who were divided over their parents’ estates and money who found that the sibling love-bond was more important when one of them faced a life-threatening illness.
Bernie had us draw pictures and then helped us to interpret them. He said that, before he did cancer surgery or put a patient into treatment, he would have them draw a picture. If the picture showed a lot of anger or fear, he chose to postpone the surgery until the person worked through that to become accepting of the treatment. He told the story of a patient who was a Quaker who struggled with all the war-talk about treating his cancer: killing cancer cells, the war on cancer, etc. Bernie invited him to re-imagine the chemo treatment in a way that was comfortable to him. The patient drew a picture of helpers gently carrying away the cancer cells and leaving his healthy cells behind. The chemo was very successful after that.
Our minds have the power to change our lives. The man above still had a disease to deal with, but his perspective shifted away from the battle for the cure and onto the path for the healing. The chemo and treatment stayed the same. All that shifted was how he viewed this and how his doctor talked with him about it. Mind talk and outer language.
When I learned the power of mind talk and outer language I became an avid student of Neuro-Linguistic Programming [NLP] and Hypnosis. How powerful these tools are in helping people!
And so, as you might know, we recently faced the possibility of losing our house in Colorado Springs to the Waldo Canyon Wildfire. The fire raged and then swept over a ridge toward our house. The entire area had been evacuated in anticipation of the danger but we were already staying with our daughter 2000 miles away, awaiting the sale of that same house. We watched in horror as we saw flames engulfing the hill upon which our house stood, not knowing what would be the outcome.
Many people supported us with their good thoughts and prayers. Some said, ‘We pray that your house is still standing after this.’ But we were praying for something different. We prayed that whatever happened would be in our highest good. We knew that, whether the house stood or did not withstand the flames, there is a plan and the plan is working out as it should. We knew, too, that we would learn and grow from whatever that experience proved to be.
I won’t lie and say that this has not been an emotional time, but, in the midst of the distress, we let go of the personal items that were in the house, possibly burned. We let go of our attachment to that beautiful house and accepted its fate, whatever that was. Most of our distress was in the ‘not knowing’ and in the worry over the other residents and the firefighters who were valiantly attempting to save our house and others.
The house is fine. It stands intact. Our friend was able to inspect it for us and to report that it is ‘as if nothing happened.’ Our entire block is still standing, with the loss of 1 deck the only damage that we know of on the block. Others very nearby were not so fortunate.
We are now planning to rent our furnished house to neighbors who need to rebuild after their house was destroyed by the fire. It is an amazing consciousness to realize that perhaps our house had not sold yet so that it could be standing and available as housing for others. No one was hurt in it or saving it from the flames.
If we had prayed for the house to withstand the fire, we would have been praying for the cure. Instead, we focused on accepting whatever the outcome might be, so that we might grow through the experience. We prayed for healing.
We have grown. And we now have the opportunity to use the house that still stands to assist another family through their healing.
