Holding Time – how to know when to express your gift
There is a distinction between fearfully avoiding a moment and creating a pause. When waiting indecisively in confusion and fear, we are looking and acting outside of ourselves, dependent on others’ ideas and outside resources. But by purposefully allowing a pause, we use the time gained to clarify and strengthen our position. Allowing our clock-driven sense of time to dictate our action and non-action jams up the works, compresses the moment, bringing in stress and limitation. As we step away from this addiction to time, we can know the true nature of each moment.
A great power is found in this ability to hold, to contain the energy. You can feel an energy building around an enterprise, a project, a dream and an enthusiasm and excitement for the project. It is then most tempting to press the go button and begin to take steps to move it along a fast track, or engage others to become involved. Yet that is the precise moment when it is best to be quiet, to contain the energy, holding our own counsel. We can watch while staying steady in our thoughts and visioning. The idea and plan grow clearer, steadier, and their wave frequency begins to emit that clarity and strength. This builds an energy that is attractive. It is magnetic. It begins to attract the required resources. Broadcasting the idea too soon, taking action prematurely, can disperse the energy.
