Below are some steps you can take to discern what you need to accomplish within the challenges of our world at this time.\u00a0 Be assured that by working consciously to accomplish those things, the challenges will be overcome with greater ease and satisfaction in every way.\u00a0 If we aren\u2019t paying attention to what we need to accomplish we will be pushed by circumstances to do it anyway.\u00a0 Much better and gentler to participate pro-actively!<\/p>\n<p>Challenges can be personal, social, financial or relationship based to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>How to Get the Most out of Challenges:<\/p>\n<p>1 \u2013 Remember that you are an eternal spirit \u2013 part of the Oneness of all life. \u00a0At this time in history you are a part of the ascension into the new world. \u00a0Your human body, emotions, mind and soul are rising in vibration to find partnership and unity with who you really are.<\/p>\n<p>2 \u2013 Remember that your true purpose currently is to complete the journey of the old world and to ascend. \u00a0This requires building the soul muscles and qualities of True Being required to express your true self within the world.<\/p>\n<p>3 \u2013 When something pushes your \u201chot buttons\u201d of reaction or despair, you are in the presence of an essential opportunity to complete your old-world tasks.<\/p>\n<p>4 \u2013 Take a deep breath and step back into yourself; into the calm place where your spine is the middle of you instead of the back of you.\u00a0 In this place you are centered in your aura and will feel less reactive.\u00a0 Anchor there like a tree.<\/p>\n<p>5 \u2013 From that still place ask your Higher Self what it is that you are seeking to accomplish through the present challenge you are facing.\u00a0 Communication comes through the heart chakra, not particularly the mind.\u00a0 Heart chakra senses and translates into word or intention.<\/p>\n<p>6 &#8211; Breathe and be calm, maybe take a walk or light a candle to help you open your heart; to breathe and stay centered despite your feelings.\u00a0 Welcome your Higher Self and the One to be present with whatever feelings you are having and lift them into a more enlightened place.<\/p>\n<p>7 \u2013 Process through your thoughts and feelings as needed, but keep returning to the question \u201cWhat am I trying to accomplish through this challenge and how can I do that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>8 \u2013 If you are reading this blog you probably have already accomplished most of what is needed.\u00a0 There are just some pieces that still need to be unified with true self so they can ascend.\u00a0 And some refinements on things already worked with extensively.<\/p>\n<p>9 \u2013 Be patient, with some challenges; the answer may take time to come to focus for you.\u00a0 Keep pondering as you go through your days and nights and allow clarity to come.<\/p>\n<p>10 \u2013 Then do whatever it is that feels necessary to achieve your goals.\u00a0 Make this your priority.\u00a0 By taking attention off your reactions and the outer challenges themselves; and focusing it on your inner true purpose relative to them, you will find yourself getting through life with much greater ease than expected.<\/p>\n<p>11 \u2013 Some of the places these things take you may be vulnerable or painful.\u00a0 Those are the \u201cmarkers\u201d your soul has put around these opportunities for growing your soul muscles so you can find them.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let the pain or vulnerability deter you from your path.\u00a0 You are an enlightened spirit &#8212; eternal, safe and unbreakable.\u00a0 You have the strength of unconditional love to make everything work to your advantage.\u00a0 And if you find you need help with this process, don\u2019t be shy about asking for it.\u00a0 Seek those whose skill and confidence can help you reach your goals as easily as possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel I could be of help, I am offering a $10 coupon for <a href=\"https:\/\/spiritualhealers.com\/heal\/\">Healing &amp; Ascension Treatments<\/a> when you mention this 6\/19\/20 post, good through July 15.<\/p>\n<p>We are in an exciting time!\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry about your old-world goals getting derailed, they are quickly becoming outdated anyway.\u00a0 Do your best with what you have; but remember that in just a few years our new world experience will be so strong that everything will be different than it is now.\u00a0 Holding onto the old could keep you stuck in what is falling apart.\u00a0 Work with the old for now as needed, but don\u2019t fight with it.\u00a0 Focus on what you can do to ascend into unity and partnership with your true Higher Self using the opportunities presented by challenges as needed.\u00a0 This will keep you on the road to success!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for commenting, questions, liking or sharing as it pleases you.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings and Love, Eve<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
