Intuition Tip #3
Problem: You rely on will power to get the job done, get you through the day, motivate yourself to stay late, and control your reality. Your eye is on the goal and deadline and you're running on adrenaline, tiring rapidly.

When you're operating on will power alone, you're in a control mode, perceiving that you're separate, and aren't open to intuition's allies, serendipity and synchronicity. You're too serious and may miss the happy accidents, the helpful flashes of insight. Open back up by shifting periodically from linear, task-oriented, yang/masculine awareness to spherical, "being-with", yin/feminine awareness.

EXERCISE
Stop your forward motion and let your awareness rest fully in the present moment. Let go of pushing toward goals. The world is alive and going about its business just fine. Let your energy spread slowly down from your head into your chest, belly, pelvis, thighs, feet. Let the rest of your body wake up and have some attention. Become aware of the ball of energy and awareness that radiates out in all directions from your body. Expand the bubble and let everything you notice be inside your own space. Once you've settled down, notice what your body and soul really feel like doing next. No shoulds!! Notice what you already know about what you're supposed to know.

Being Stung by Hornets
A DREAM INTERPRETED
Two friends recently had similar "dreams" — one was a night dream, and one a "waking dream," or real life experience. The synchronicity of the theme made me pay attention. Both involved being stung by hornets. Both women are at a stage in their life where their work feels old, and they're looking for their new "destiny" work. One woman had hornets all over her back, and they weren't stinging her, but attaching themselves by burrowing in. The other was actually stung in the leg, with no seeming provocation. By role-playing the hornets we discovered they were attracted to low-level fear and were trying to bring a higher "buzzing" vibration into the women's bodies. When the women let the hornets become energy and moved it through their body, their vibration increased, they were able to more closely match the energy of their new work, and they began to get ideas of what it might look like. Symbols that seem negative are often very positive!

WHAT'S REAL UNDERNEATH?
Last year in a Future Trends Research Reading, I had said it was likely that Hillary and McCain would be the candidates. I have felt that Bush was put in office to open and expose the contents of the collective subconscious mind so it could be cleared. I think that's been done now, and we don't need another 4 or 8 years of McCain doing more of the same. Now it's time to clear the fear. I wasn't sure we'd be ready for Obama yet, whether we'd need a "bridge person" — Hillary — to help us get to the level of spiritual sophistication I think Obama is capable of bringing.

I am amazed that our country has responded so fast and clearly to the need to heal and clear the fear — like NOW! The energy on the planet is intensifying rapidly, and I think this is responsible for so many people feeling the readiness to move ahead. I also had a strong feeling that the new administration would in some way be bipartisan, that the new President would unite factions, and be able to demonstrate a new way of working together that would be an example for the world. I get that Obama can do this, that he is born to do this. Stay tuned for more on politics, future trends, and what's happening in the energy "underbelly."

COOL STUFF
Netflix Recommendation:
BBC Series: MI-5 is well-written and engrossing, with episodes dealing with all sorts of modern political issues, even how to handle a visit from George Bush to London!
