Quantum Ripple

With the dawn of the Aquarian Age, comes with it a new paradigm. It is a vibrational energy of inter-connectedness, of collaboration and cooperation, of serving the good of all. In other words, it speaks directly to the idea of the ripple effect, which is not a linear construct of dominos, but rather a quantum ripple, where the energy of one affects the energy of the whole.

As we awaken to life and to our potential as humans, this new paradigm energy will propel forwards an explosive cascade of creativity, of new words and meanings, of transformed ideas and greater consciousness. We are the fundamental part of the Aquarian Ripple which encourages us to transform our relationship within ourselves, our communities and nature. It is a force towards circular prosperity where all can benefit. It is an energy that communes with the very essence of our spiritual awakening as we move towards our evolution. This evolution is one that begins deep within our hearts and our inner conversations and then spreads outwards -- not the other way round. For thousands of years in the Western world, humans have been conditioned by the idea that the Divine has been ‘other’ and resides remotely. The dualistic patriarch structure conditions us to be righteous and obey in order to earn conditional love and rewards. There are rules. There are consequences. There is separation and polarity.

The new Aquarian paradigm that is being ushered in is one that embodies both a connection and an inter-connection with a more feminine-based essence. It is an energy that needs to be harnessed as we set upon the path of good intentions, collaborations and elevated awareness. In this type of terrain, we are now called upon to use the intuitive map of heart-centred living instead of an intellect-driven navigation system as a primary means to guide us. Geared up with essentials such as compassion, open-heartedness, trust, kindness and a daily spiritual practice there are many instances where we will be called upon to foster this inter-connection, looking to nurture our similarities instead of magnifying our differences.

So how do we align ourselves with the necessary heart-set and mind-set? The one fundamental necessity we need is simple: awareness. To remain aware is to be a witness to our lives and to consider the lives of others and the environment in which we live. Awareness arises when we are awake to the exact centre of the present moment: our thoughts are not anchoring us to past triggering experiences nor are they racing ahead to future plans and expectations. We are called upon to reside in the moment.

At any given minute, we can meet this awareness just by the very simple act of closing our eyes and consciously breathing. Several sages, gurus, teachers and mystics have considered breath as a prayer in itself. When we connect to our deep breath, we automatically connect to the moment. We automatically connect to the inner workings of our soul. And it is when we connect to this breath awareness, that we can begin to land into ourselves, without judgment. It is our breath that purges the thoughts and settles the emotions. It is then that we can take the time to listen, to connect, to come home, to expand into our being-ness.

When we come back to ourselves, the significant piece of this new paradigm communication is the ability to not only articulate the musings of the heart, but firstly, to listen. Listen with your heart. Listen with your intuition. We breathe in and out through the heart listening, loving, expanding and being aware. This is the greatest of self-care. This is connection. It is when you reside in this conscious heart space, that you can then begin to hear the intentions that want to come through in your life. Where do you need to connect and give more space to? We listen for the manifestations to enter which will act as the sign-posts to guide us: a tuning in, a turning inwards, a clear communication. This is how you can begin to step into the new paradigm, rippling a higher vibration and bringing your own authentic value into the world.

This ripple requires all of us to get on board with a commitment to raising the energetic vibration within our own lives. This is not the time to be apathetic or complacent, letting others figure it out for us. Those victims days are ones of the past. It requires active responsibility, not passivity. It is up to us to make the empowered changes that need to happen. The quantum ripple of change begins with us.
