\"woman-spinning-dress-slow-motion-nature-sun-forest-happiness\"<\/a>Yesterday was a day of running errands for me, and I was on line at the bank, in the market and at the post office.\u00a0 Being in line is always a lot of fun for me, especially if the radio is on.\u00a0 Yesterday at the post office, we had the whole line bopping to KC and the Sunshine Band\u2019s \u201cShake Your Booty.\u201d\u00a0 I\u00a0 always talk to people I\u2019m standing in line with and have met some great friends that way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I posted it on Facebook and said, \u201cI went to school with Harry Casey, he\u2019s 60 this year and can still get us dancing in the aisles.\u201d\u00a0 One friend commented that I always seem to find fun, and galpal Joan Crutcher responded, \u201cAndrea doesn\u2019t find fun, she brings fun with her wherever she goes.<\/em>”\u00a0 And Joan\u2019s right.\u00a0 I am a vortex of fun and I take it with me wherever I go.<\/p>\n

Portals and Power Places:<\/strong> A lot of my friends travel to Arizona, Peru, France and India, to sacred sites such as Sedona, Macchu Picchu, Lourdes and Puttaparti.\u00a0 I hear others talk about \u201cthere\u2019s a special vortex here or there<\/em>\u201c\u00a0 however it\u2019s my experience that I AM the vortex. That WE ARE each the powerful vortex that we seek.\u00a0 It\u2019s interesting; we\u2019ll make a pilgrimage half way around the world before we\u2019ll sit alone with ourself to make the journey within.\u00a0 Go figure.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Ok, I know it\u2019s not that easy. I know that being in a power place, where others have gone before us, can inspire us to relax and release resistance so that we\u2019re able to experience our Self more fully. The beliefs of the other pilgrims adds to the overlying thoughtform, and we can be lifted in consciousness and carried on the wave of their faith and expectation. Yes, we can do that at home in the bathtub as well, but \u201cgetting in the mood\u201d can be a helpful motivator to make us relax and be receptive to a fuller experience.<\/p>\n

You Can be A Vision Keeper: <\/strong>There are also times that you do not want to be carried along on the wave of someone else\u2019s thoughtform, that perhaps your thoughts are the higher and more inspired of the group. These are the times you get to practice being the visionkeeper for the group.\u00a0 When you can keep your head about you when those around you are losing theirs.\u00a0 And the power of just one person with focused thought and intent can override the doubts and fears of an entire community.<\/em> We\u2019ve all seen in happen. And you can be the one person who remembers to hold the higher vision, wherever you go, whatever you see before you. You can be the one who remembers you are a powerful vortex of creat-ive energy and wherever you go, you take your power with you.<\/em> When you show up shining, others reflect your light back to you.<\/p>\n

And this isn\u2019t just about holding a vision of peace and unity while the media talks terrorism and war; it\u2019s about making your immediate environment free of complaint and criticism and disharmony. It\u2019s about making a heaven out of where you are right now, with whoever is in front of you. <\/em>(And yes, even that one.\u00a0 Especially that one.<\/em>) And when you stop to realize that there is much more harmony and well being in the world than there is disease, terrorism and war, you begin to put life into perspective.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be nervous when 95% of the media repeatedly reports to you the horror that only 5% of the world is experiencing. This is how fear is perpetuated. One station reports it. Another picks it up. One person sees it, and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends\u2026 See where this is going?<\/p>\n

We are our brothers\u2019 keeper. We can help hold the higher vision for the world. We don\u2019t have to talk about it. We don\u2019t have to join a group to do it. We don\u2019t have to all do it at the same time. But WE are the people and NOW is the time. We are the vortex and we take it with us wherever we go.\u00a0 What\u2019s in your vortex?<\/p>\n
