We are living some pretty drastic changes these days; the economy seems about ready to collapse any day now, elections are coming up and we are shaky as to who will take power, and the environment seems to get worse every day if we tune into the news. How do we remain positive in times like these, when everything seems to be collapsing around us? How do we stay calm if the very foundation is cracking?

If you have been reading Karine Bishop’s energy alerts at all, you might already know that the collapse of an old system has been predicated by some for a long time. For those of us “in tuned” to the energy shifts, it comes as no surprise that the economy is crashing. What does this all mean though? Should we panic and run for the hills to become self-sufficient farmers, dig our trenches and take cover, or should we calmly stay put and await the next world?

Stay grounded during these shifts, remembering the saying that when one door closes another one opens. Now is the best time to return to our real Selves, to go back to a more authentic, real, and meaningful way of living and being. If you are feeling the need to surround yourself with people more lately, it’s not surprising; when an old world dies and a new one begins, it can be scary and we can feel more alone than ever before. Many people have come to me lately telling me they have never before felt so alone and lost.

Remember that if the old system is crashing it is because something better is coming, and even if change is scary at times, it is necessary. Although the Mayans predicted that 2012 is the big crunch time, it has already begun, look around in the world and you will see that collapse is a common trend these days. What I try to do when I think that everything is crashing around me is go somewhere in nature where I feel connected to my Higher Self, and from that spot, close my eyes and work on consciously erasing the fear of change.
