The "Thing" About ALIGNMENT

This last few weeks, as I’ve been in a level four lock-down here in New Zealand, I’ve learnt a lot more about the meaning of ALIGNMENT.

Firstly let me state that there is no right or wrong; and now I’m even beginning to wonder if there’s any such thing as misalignment, although deep down that is just alignment in another way, not the way you initially may have intended or thought it would be.

I’ve also learnt that Alignment can change at any given time; moment by moment; day by day; week by week; and even conversation by conversation. Isn’t that just an amazing thing to know that at any point in time you can align yourself with anything; you can chop and change like the wind. One day you can be pro-something and the next day against it. But the key thing to keep in mind is how does that ALIGNMENT feel, within your MIND, your BODY, your SOUL and your SPIRIT? Does it raise your vibration? Does it make you feel good? Or does it have a sense of undercurrent that perhaps, you can’t quite place your finger on. Let this be your Guide. Allow your deep-seated Intuition and Connection to play the role it has always been designed to play; and allow that to assist in guiding Alignment for your greater good.

Let’s put it into so-called “real” terms: You’ve got a decision to make. You’re umming and erring on what is the right thing to do. You do a bit of research; from all angles, opening your MIND to the possibilities and allowing it to feel into whether it sits right. Your MIND is the analytical part of this decision. How does your MIND feel? What is it thinking? What doubts are there? Do they sit okay with you? What positives are there? Do they sit okay, and/or better? Does it bear a heavy load or a light feeling on your mind? Take note of what you experience.

Now let’s look at your BODY, and how this plays a role in this decision making process. Is there any tension? If so, where, and what? Describe it; feel into it. Even research that if you need to. Eg. When I think of this decision I get a pain in my lower back. Research lower back pain. What does that tell you? Is it associated with security, or foundational beliefs? What is that telling you? Can that shed any more light on this situation? And then again, what if there is no impact on the BODY at all? There is no pain, and no discomfort. Again, what is that telling you? Does the decision you’re making sit, or feel, right for your BODY? You’re BODY may even feel in harmony with this decision.

And, what about your SOUL? This can often be a place we do not frequently connect with. How does this decision Align with your SOUL, and your SOUL purpose. I describe the SOUL as an inner knowing or feeling. It’s the “You know when you know, but you don’t know how you know that you know” sort of feeling. Does this decision align with your deep-seated desires; your values and beliefs? Can you rest at night, with this decision? Will it sit well, or is there some form of dis-ease that you can’t quite place your finger on?

And finally, let’s look at your SPIRIT. I look at this as your Essence of your True Being. This is who you are; your spark; your light and your darkness; your yin and your yang. How does this decision sit with your SPIRIT? Does it feel light to you, or does it feel like a heavy load? Does it raise your vibration? Does it enhance your way of life? Does it add colour and love to your world, or does it allow fear and retraction to enter this space? What is it your SPIRIT desires? Some will also place their decision making with Divine SPIRIT; asking for support from higher sources. I feel this is a way to connect and strengthen your connection with Divine, but also tapping into your own SPIRIT. If this resonates with you, it’s another avenue you can explore. Have a bit of fun with it.

Now ....

How does this decision look to you? Having worked through the Alignment process; checking in with all aspects of YOU, is it now easier to see how to move forward? You may even find what once looked like quite a black and white; even a right or wrong choice, now reflects more of a grey area, a type of middle ground perhaps, in which you’re more comfortable to go with but you’d never really considered in the beginning. Now that you’re here, check in on those aspects again – the MIND, BODY, SOUL and SPIRIT and see how they feel. Do they resonate and sit better with this decision now? And low and behold, that’s your Alignment for today ... you could change your Alignment tomorrow!

I’d love to hear how this resonates with you and/or any experiences you’ve had that you would like to share.
