In other words, you can work with the basic flows of natural change to manage the perceived decline associated with rapid change.
There are three main ways to do this. These include aligning with the energies of Creation, responding to the cycles of change, and connecting with the rhythms of our Universe.
Aligning with the natural energies of Creation
First, stay true to Creating what you want to know how to do in your life. The easiest way to achieve this is to work consciously with the basic forces of nature, earth, water, air, fire and spirit.
Each element works intelligently and lives according to the nature of the Universe, guiding and informing us along the way. Each natural force has its own specific characteristics and functions.
Earth Element: The Earth attribute defines the physical world in which the representations exist.
Water Element: The water element informs emotions and the emotional world where we feel pain and love.
Air Element: The air element gives information to areas of the mind that are overwhelmed by too much information.
Fire Element: The fire element tells us the point of action where we move from the point of decision.
Spirit Element: Finally, Spirit flows through all things, connecting them and man to the higher realms.
Working with the elements can give you the tools you need to start unraveling the chaos. In this way, nature supports your ability to deal with external events. External events are those beyond your control, especially those that bring big changes to your life. These types of events can bring all your vulnerabilities to the surface.
In nature, natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis can be harmful to humans, but they also serve to restore the earth's balance. When you worry about events beyond your control, you feel that all the confidence, security, and comfort you have is at stake. To manage and respond to change, it is important to develop and strengthen our relationships with the Elements.
Particularly in these times of rapid change, it can be difficult to access our inner knowing. Often, it is out of balance and rhythm. The ability to stay connected to the changing rhythms and fundamental principles of the Universe provides a way to access the rich inner resources of our own knowingness. Mirroring the balanced and refreshing patterns of change found in nature can help you balance your inner self with the chaotic world around you.
Balance and harmony found in nature are calm and restorative and enhance your ability to manage the demands of rapid change.
Connecting with the movements of the world
Staying in touch with the movements of the Earth and the basic principles that will help you live well, even in times of rapid change. At times, it seems that we can all sink into an inner darkness from which we cannot escape.
But if we understand that nature exists in a balance between light and dark, new and old, we can embrace the times of work and rest, life and death. In this way, change offers a metaphor for our own growth and change. When we listen to the forces of nature in times of rapid change, we can trust the process itself.
