About 15 or 20 years ago, geologist and author Gregg Braden brought us information about the magnetic poles of the earth shifting. Though he was a geologist, he began to put the idea of a pole shift in a spiritual context. Radical at the time, it is now, apparently, scientifically agreed that we are, in fact, in the midst of a magnetic pole shift. The magnetic field around the earth is weakening and has the potential to flip so that north will become south and south north. It's uncertain how long such a shift such as this can take or what the ramifications may be to the planet and those who inhabit it. Is it possible there is a connection between this pole shift and the shift in consciousness that's been prophesied and anticipated for these times? The Mayan calendar describes 2012 as the end of a great age, and even the bible talks about a time of Armageddon. Let me be perfectly clear: I don't see this as a doomsday, but rather a powerful time of transition, not to be feared, but to be experienced to the fullest.
You can go to Braden's website for details about the shift. Here, I would like to muse a bit about what such a shift might mean.
The magnetic field protects the earth's atmosphere. Should the field drop during this brief time, there could well be an influx of energy from the sun which has sometimes been spoken of as a spiritual focus.
During the shift, it's thought that some might feel the urge to sleep or zone out because the atmosphere will be so different. I remember going to hear Krishnamurti speak in Ojai, California in my early days of studying spirituality. I listened to the first few minutes and soon fell fast asleep. The frequency or vibratory rate at which his words were coming through were more than I could take in consciously. I remember hearing the words but as if through a fog. Is it possible that the magnetic field being down could produce a similar effect?
Those who can stay awake during this shift may experience ecstasy. I remember living at Glen Ivy Retreat Center when the power would go out. There was an amazing sense of peace when everything electrical stopped running. Another time, I spent a week in a very remote part of the Rocky Mountains and it was touched so deeply it was life changing. What might it be like if the electromagnetic field around the earth dropped? Different? How?
On the other hand, being in the mountains might be hell for some people. Too quiet, nothing to distract from what's going on within. Could this also be what it's like during a pole shift?
It's prophesied that after the wars and chaos will come 1000 years of peace. Could the shift initiate that cycle? A new age?

Igniting Change
Over the past thirty years I’ve had a marvelous time exploring a wide range of “spirituality.” I studied consciousness in-residence for 11 years and traveled to the middle East to research Sumerian texts with Zecharia Sitchen. I studied soul work, intergalactic work, shadow work and the Mayan Calendar.
Awhile ago it became clear to me that my work was headed out of the past and into the present. At the same time, a desire arose for my work to go more mainstream. (I started out as a journalism major and ended my business career in marketing at The Walt Disney Company. It doesn’t get anymore mainstream than that!) My sessions became less burdened with beliefs and more broadly accessible, though no less effective.
When my life went into transition a few years ago, it was a time of re-aligning with earlier visions and dreams. I re-discovered my love of writing and began the undertaking of writing a book. That process has led me on an amazing journey from France to New York to the beautiful green hills of Oregon. It has also re-defined my work.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce:

BE OPEN, BE PREPARED
This month two themes emerge. One is about relationships. The other is about being prepared. Let’s look at relationships first.
February is a joyful month for relationships. Not only romantic ones but our true connection with one another. If there’s a part of you that’s been afraid to go deeper with others, now is a wonderful time to cultivate a deeper connection.
Picture your relationships as circles. Do they touch? Overlap? By how much? The overlap is how far we’re willing to go to step into someone else’s “space.” I like people to respect my boundaries, but the friendships I most value are with friends who are willing to come across my “edge” and get involved. When I’m down to prod me. When I’m not seeing clearly to offer their perspective. Sometimes in an attempt to be “polite” we miss the chance to connect. This month it’s time to celebrate intimacy. To “cross the line” if you will. To reach out and touch someone – or open up and be touched.
Like everything else we’ve talked about over the past few years, old structures are falling away. They’re too small and too limiting. I read somewhere that 80% of women surveyed no longer believe in the institution of marriage. We tried it, we didn’t like it, we’re moving on. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT WE WON’T GET MARRIED OR BE MARRIED. It may need to be re-defined. We may need something more organic. Love is too large to be saved for only one person. It cannot and will not be contained. It’s meant to expand and be shared.
This month, be willing to take off a layer and expose another level of yourself to your world. The reward for this is more personal fulfillment, more meaningful moments, and definitely more flow!
BE PREPARED
From the moment I touched into the February energy, I saw it was clearly time to make sure all our ducks are in a row, our bases covered and our foundation set for the next few years.
This is a great month to think about your finances, your lifestyle, your life choices. Are you living within your means? Do you have money saved to cover a dry spell? If not, it’s time to put a plan together. More than fear or alarm, this is about being in balance with yourself and life so you’re not caught off guard and pulled off center.
According to Carl Calleman’s calculations, we move into the 5th night of the Mayan Calendar Nov. 19 2007 through Nov. 18 2008. (We might note this is the last year of George W. Bush’s presidency.) The number 5 is about things breaking down so we can have breakthrough. Previous fifth nights have seen things like WWII, the fall of the Roman Empire, the extinction of Neanderthals and the ice age. Each thing may seem devastating but leads to greater awareness.
None of this suggests that we need to move to the woods with a shotgun and canned goods. But be prepared. What is your vision for 2007-08? The message from the Hopi elders comes to mind.Where are you living? What are you doing? What are your relationships? Where is your water? Know your garden.
Where our two themes come together is in the heart. This month, let your relationships provide the practice ground to open your heart. In so doing you open your inner eye. Stay out of fear. Instead, trust your intuition. By listening we know exactly what to do.
