The New Paradigm= Great Time to Be Alive

What exactly is this New Paradigm that people are chattering about? (including me!)

Number 1. This guy in the following video kind of looks like me, when I had long hair.
Number 2. My daughters would absolutely tell me that he looks, acts, and sounds like me.
Number 3. I will deny it. (because I don't know anything about astrology)

But what really is the New Paradigm..besides such a gas?

It is NOT a NEW AGEY KOOK FEST (although that could be lots of fun!).  The New Paradigm is something that I actually started noticing on my own in that I didn't read or discuss it with anyone at any point in time prior to my own personal awareness of it. 

I had my suspicions that things were changing because of my own life shifts. I discovered that my life shifts would occur shortly before many other people's similar awareness would arise. Because of my professional work doing energy body work (it is like life coaching with a kick!), I was gifted to see the inside workings of people's true lives. I could match my moods, my thoughts, and my shifting perceptions with those of others.

We need to develop and disseminate an entirely new paradigm and practice of collaboration that supersedes the traditional silos that have divided governments, philanthropies, and private enterprises for decades and replace it with networks of partnerships working together to create a globally prosperous society.

When I began my practice on Nantucket in 1995, there was one other person, my first mentor Buzz Williams, doing energy body work on island. In 2013 there is probably almost thirty practitioners of healing and energy type work on this small island. 

In 2001 I opened an office in Bedford, MA. It was on the top floor of a nice strip mall. When I began, there was a dentist, a dance studio and lots of secret offices there. Also I saw open doors with one person on a computer carrying the load of an entire business. When I closed that office in 2011, there was a wholistic nutritionist, several therapists and psychologist with one specializing in transgender issues, an acupuncturist, a  Chinese herbalist, a Qigong specialist, a writing teacher, two photographers, and a few more healing arts practitioners.   In ten years the second floor transformed from a computer station to a healing station!

What I believe has occurred and reached the tipping point is the shift of intention and inspired action supporting ideals. 

We attempted to overturn the old paradigm by way of the Vietnam War and drugs. Prior to the Vietnam War, our country bonded during and over war. When the Kent State massacre/incident occurred, so much had already been changing in the country, http://dept.kent.edu/sociology/lewis/lewihen.htm

What is a country to do when its people no longer rally to turn in their pantyhose and extra rubber tires so war can be supported and paid for? The reaction to the Vietnam War was unprecedented. This was not the easily controlled patriotic band of citizens any longer. People started to think, act, and defy the Paradigm of old. 

People also began experimenting with hallucinate drugs, and medical and psychiatric support was given to using some drugs for extensive issues. Timothy Leary was encouraging people to take a massively powerful journey into their psyches through the use of drugs. This attempt to reach transcendental awareness and peace could not last because it was induced by external methods. The drugs would wear off and some people returned to their grounded consciousness while others could not. 
Many hippies who were active in the revolution of the 60s and 70s were disillusioned as the country did not change in the manner in which they had rallied to make happen. A good portion of them joined the work forces of corporate America while others did their best to go along with the gender roles and direction that still remained fairly dominant; their youthful idealism faded for a more comforting lifestyle. Still others maintained their "Damn the man" attitudes or Age of Aquarius Flower Power energy and have held firm in their beliefs on this stances.


 The 60s and 70s rocked the foundation of the old Paradigm. Shirley Chisholm, both female and black, ran for President of the United States. 

Of my two handicaps, being female put many more obstacles in my path than being black.

We couldn't hold and ground into this New Paradigm because it was built on resistance, fear, anger, revolt, and drugs. It was the time when people pulled things down, tore things up, smashed old stories, and insisted on something new. It was the tilling of the old stagnant soil.
Around the mid 1980s, when interestingly I became pregnant and left my college career which was focused on industrial psychology, and then again in the mid 1990s, when coincidentally I decided to let go of returning to school to be an osteopathic doctor and instead learned Polarity Therapy as a healing support to my community of Nantucket, there seemed to be an extensive output of self help books that I would put list a New Paradigm genre. These books came in not as rebellious and activist works,  but rather about healing, love, humanity cooperation, and raising vibrations.

Since we moved into the 2000s, Movies such as What the Bleep Do We Know, The Secret, The Shift, I Am, and others soon started to sweep through independent movie theaters. It seems like everyone I know does yoga, tries meditation, listens and watches inspiring videos and audio stations, and Reiki. Many hospitals allow volunteer Reiki healings and my acupuncturist regularly works in a large area hospital. We are raising our vibration with loving intentions. We tilled the soil and did the destructive work in the 60s and 70s. In the 80s and 90s we refreshed the soil, nurtured its vitality and started planting some seeds.

More people are awakening to the sense of their own happiness. Men are spending more time with their children. Women are making decisions not out of acceptance or reactionary revolt, but out of freedom to choose.

We are feeling and seeing positive reinforcements, loving interactions, happier opportunities, and the understanding that unlike the self centered 80s and 90s, we can focus on our inner happiness, joy, and peace and find a satisfying life. When we live this way, in full contentment, then others are offered the opportunity to remember their true selves, their right to find inner joy, and all the abundance that comes with that active choice. 

This is a great time to be alive because the plants that we as a society worked to hard to ground, sow, and nurture, are blossoming. Life is beautiful for so many. As we each choose to center ourselves in our glowing radiant truth, it triggers the awakening in others!

"We are reluctant to live outside tribal rules because we are afraid of getting kicked out of the tribe."
"A tribe that has any control over you rules your biology."
- Caroline Myss

May Today be a First Day to Begin our commitment to the blossoming New Paradigm. May we look beyond the illusions of the the old tribe which continues to function in the old Paradigm way and give all of our energy to the life which is unfolding. May we encourage the New Paradigm of Love, Peace, Joy, and Harmony to spread globally and quickly.  May Today be a First Day to Begin our grateful confidence that all of the hard work of the past has established strong roots for the future. We celebrate knowing that ALL BEINGS will find their way on to the Ark of the New Paradigm when it is the best time for their journey. For all that have come before us, we are honored by their efforts to till the soil. May this be A First Day to Begin to show them what they have done for us by basking, dancing, and proclaiming the New Paradigm of acceptance, abundance, love, and good news. The New Paradigm energy is contagious and May we laugh and clap our hands as the domino effect of this higher vibration continues to take affect.
May Today Be a First Day to Begin our enthusiasm for the New Paradigm. May we encourage its hard won direction of Love, Peace, Joy, and Harmony to be a quick global awakening. May we look past the illusions of the old paradigm and all of the structures that have been built upon it, focusing solely on what is becoming, blossoming, and filling its space. May Today be A First Day to Begin our commitment to what is new, confident that ALL Beings will eventually be on the Ark of the New Paradigm as we experience a more expansive and loving world, inside and out.
