Are You Experiencing a Paradigm Shift?
A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in approach or assumptions. It involves a change in perception. But not only our thoughts change; there must be a corresponding behavioural change too.
I began a major paradigm shift when I took my training with Martha Beck in May of 2005. I knew intuitively that the experience would change me personally as well as professionally. Since that time I’ve been on a steep learning curve, accelerating dramatically over the years.
In addition to coaching my clients, I have of course continued with my own self-coaching and peer-coaching, and have received neurological treatments designed to identify and discharge old emotional material stored in the body-mind. Coaching is all about change…big-time change! Working on ourselves is what coaches do. A coach and her client work as a team; both are on a life-changing internal journey.
Paradigm shifts can be sudden. Steven Covey tells a story that illustrates this very well. He was travelling on the subway and there was a father with two young boys who were running wildly around the subway car. After a while, Covey asked the father if he could do something to control them. The man replied that they were on their way home from the hospital where their mother had just died. He told Covey that he didn’t know what to do, and neither did his sons. Suddenly Covey saw everything differently; same kids, same father, but he understood them in a different way.
We can also have mini-shifts daily or even hourly, which culminate in our eventual paradigm shift. Suddenly seeing an old situation or relationship in a new light is a mini- shift. The ability to step outside ourselves and be the observer opens the window for these shifts.
Many of us are rapidly growing in awareness now. Call it paradigm shifts, call it what you will, something is happening ‘out there’. Numeroligists and intuitives are currently telling us that energies are speeding up. I will leave you with some helpful words from a woman I know.
Natasha Rosewood, intuitive, says:
“This speeding up of energy will be easier on us if we are willing not to hold on too tightly. If you are true to yourself and your heart…you can attract your true purpose for being here.”
