Riding the Dragon

Picture
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself in the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.” ~Terrence McKenna
Welcome to September where the wheel of time turns toward the Fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, global energies are intensifying and we are being shown more clearly (with that 2020 vision) where and how we are called to choose a new reality. There’s this Chinese proverb: “If you ignore the dragon, it will eat you. If you defy the dragon, it will overpower you. But if you ride the dragon, you will know its strength and power.” 

If it’s time and pressure that creates diamonds or disasters, we’re either going to crack under the weight of it all or we’re going to choose to develop our multi-faceted brilliance. I support the position of using whatever we’re experiencing personally as an opportunity for growth and expansion. It’s the grit that polishes the jewel. That perspective catalyzes  movement from victimhood and helplessness in the face of so much chaos to a sense of empowerment with that which we have command: ourselves, our creative responses to life and the reality we experience as a result. This is what it means, I believe, to ride the dragon.

Surely if you’re reading this you are aware of this “paradigm shift” that we are being initiated into through this portal of planetary awakening. Eckhart Tolle wrote about this quantum leap in his book “A New Earth” while others call this current period “The Age of Light” or the “Aquarian Age,” as it’s reflective of a much longer cosmic, astrological cycle that lasts for roughly 2,000 years. We are in the midst of this great evolutionary change now. Much like a birth process, it’s not without moments of great possibility and promise as well as deep pain as the old systems are being dismantled and dissolved to make way for the emergence of the new order. 

How can we more accurately understand the nature of the changes that are underway so that we can nurture our own process? What is this leap that we are called to make? Truly, it’s so much bigger than any of us can imagine, however I have been able to identify several key themes that will support you as a frame of reference. More than anything I share, please begin to develop the habit of going within to resource your inner wisdom as there is no shortage of information available and it is vital to be discerning and trust yourself above all. . . . 


  • Separation to Integration: we are moving out of the dualistic, divide, conquer, separate, label and compartmentalize mentality (either/or) and into a much more integrated, holistic worldview (both/and) that is able to hold polarity and paradox with an understanding and respect for the nature of harmony, balance and the interdependence of all life. The old paradigm is fraught with fear, scarcity, competition, comparison, consumption, us vs. them, and power “over” struggles (which perpetuates cycles of victimization/co-dependency) that have reinforced agendas of corruption, abuse, suffering and enslavement. The shift is to sovereignty, self-responsibility, collaboration, creativity, healing, appreciating/celebrating diversity and honoring unique gifts, empowerment (power “with”), abundance and prosperity for all. Unity consciousness (oneness/inclusivity) that allows for greater authenticity and creativity. Unity isn’t uniformity or “we’re all the same,” it’s honoring the many faces of Oneness in the multiplicity of possible expressions. It’s the weaving of the many strands of the web of life rather than the manufacturing and distribution of plastic replicas.  
 
  • Personal Trauma to Collective Ascension: in a nutshell, this is the “me” to “We” to “Thee” pivot. From spending so much of our energy on our personal stories of woundedness to a shared experience of healing that supports us in moving out of being stuck in the same narratives that reinforce the belief that “I am my trauma” and instead into the default that we are, fundamentally, Divine, Creative beings having a human experience working through centuries of trauma together. Healing is understood as daily value of self-care that supports the natural process and path of moving toward balance and wholeness rather than perpetuating health care for the forever sick as treating of symptoms and strengthening of stories that reinforce pathology, brokenness and dysfunction (for profit).   
 
  • Mind/Intellect to (with) Heart/Feeling: in the division consciousness paradigm, the thinking mind  (I think, therefore I am) has been valued over the heart and feeling function while both have been historically divorced from the sensory system of the body (I AM All That I AM). To reclaim a connection to the body and the "felt sense" is about coming home to ourselves as whole human beings. Activating the qualities of the heart: Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Joy, Harmony, etc. is what establishes us in a state called “Coherence” where our thoughts and feelings are in alignment to support our highest embodiment. It’s from that frequency or channel of energetic attunement that we have the ability to experience (not just cognitively understand) Unity consciousness. This is about knowing ourselves in terms of our relationship to our thoughts as the seed from which the formless (ideas) are brought into form (fruition). From thoughts come feelings which become emotions (energy in motion) which translate into particular behaviors (i.e harmful or healing) which express as distinct actions in our everyday lives. Those actions either generate karma (unconscious, habitual, conditioned responses) or dharma (consciousness, destiny, purpose, creativity and service to collective). Thus, as you think, so you create. 
 
  • Reliance on outer authority to Intuition: When we practice heart coherence regularly and in tandem to an embodiment practice that connects us to our body as a vehicle or instrument for experiencing higher states of consciousness, our intuition (the ability to see "in-to-it") becomes the main navigation system for how we move through the world. We trust in our sovereignty (freedom and empowerment) rather than continually outsourcing our decisions to experts or authorities outside of ourselves. Trusting that our Souls will never guide us astray and that it is safe to follow the path as we discern based on that guidance becomes a freeing adventure with unlimited possibility. Again, self-responsibility is key here: no longer do we seek outside expert advice or guru generated grace to replace our own inner knowing. Instead, look to those figures that inspire or encourage both critical thinking and courageous commitment to developing trust in your direct relationship to that Source of Grace within you.  
 
  •  3D to 5D and higher dimensional realities: For many this is perhaps one of the biggest leaps to consider. That’s because it’s a QUANTUM leap. Terrence McKenna, the great mystic/scientist referred to the multiverse as an unlimited pool of creative consciousness into which we can place the “dipstick” of our awareness anywhere we desire. Do you really want to keep dipping into CNN, FOX, and Facebook when you could be communing with our living planet, the stars, your own untapped potential or anything else for that matter? 3D is physical, limited, local and based on a linear understanding of time and space. Many dimensions (or frequency bandwidths) exist as meta-physical, non-local and quantum, parallel realities experienced as the eternal “Now.” Each dimension has its own characteristics, beings, laws and even languages. This is a very rich subject that can be infinitely explored in our multidimensionality and we can (if we choose) experience these realms as expanded states of consciousness through prayer, meditation, learning to use our subtle body technology and DNA activation. From a 5th dimensional plane of reality, this state of Unity consciousness or Unconditional, Divine Love is ALL there is. All beings are integrated, aligned with Higher Self, attuned to the intelligence of the heart, directed by intuitive guidance and working in cooperation for the highest good of all. Living connected to Source is actually a way of life and not just a practice separate from the rest of life. Can you imagine what our world would be like from that higher awareness? The more you imagine it, the better. Additionally, practicing these expanded states everyday is a form of multidimensional muscle building that will naturally and organically evolve in unimaginable ways. From a quantum perspective, we can easily create anything we desire. New Earth isn’t a place, it’s an ascended version/vision of reality aligned with the vibration of Freedom, Divine Love, Divine Light and it's meant to be experienced here, now and within your human operating system. Much like what we are familiar with in this technological age of upgrades and downloads—you can learn to update and (re)program your subtle system to receive and transmit from any dimension and connect direct to Source to download new applications of your Higher Self embodiment. Your free will allows you to choose any version of reality you want—that’s why even though we all live on the same planet, we may feel like we live in different worlds. In fact-we do-and it will only become more apparent as time unfolds.

These are no small shifts and will take decades (and more) to actualize and implement into new frameworks and systems of support. We’re all being called to take responsibility for the creation of this new paradigm in the ways that we are each authentically guided. Holding this larger vision is vital as we can easily become overwhelmed and disheartened by what we partially perceive or actually experience day to day. Continue to make your daily self-care a top priority and connect with those who are invested in the birthing and building of the new. Spiritual practice is no longer a luxury or option--we must make it central in our lives. Trust that you are here as part of the Great Plan to support humanity in this monumental shift. Identify yourself according to the role you’d like to play in the writing of new scripts and storylines in this evolutionary exchange. Call on your Higher Self to guide you every day as you endeavor to live out your own lasting legacy of Love. Let go of what you think you “should” be doing and open up to the not-yet known within you…let yourself be amazed by what you discover as you make these leaps in your own life. 

Get Up on your Dragon. This ain't your first ride. It could be your last of this kind, though. Make it your best.

​Dare to dream the impossible dream. 

Sending you many blessings xo 

This month I offer you a gift of the first class of my 5 week series Energy Yoga: Activate Your Radiance. As it is a Zoom recording, the quality isn’t the best, but the intention is clear. I share a little talk about the reclamation of the Divine Feminine and a Kundalini practice to support you in being the Living embodiment of the LIGHT that you are. I look forward to sharing more in this way. Find it here: SAT NAM.

What My Clients Are Saying:



"I know that “life changing” is a bit over used but it best describes how I feel about what Jenny Clarke offers with "The Courage to Create" course. She uses the metaphor of the labyrinth. A twisted turning path with hidden chambers that takes you to the center and then back out again with new insights. I took the private version of this program. The weekly lessons took me to the core of who I am. Along the way looking into some long closed chambers where we cleared out a few ghosts and discovered some buried gems. At the end of the course I emerged forever changed with a new understanding and appreciation of who I am. You can not get lost in a labyrinth as long as you keep moving forward. The journey begins when you take the first step. I highly recommend that you take the first step and sign up for the Courage to Create!" ~L.H.

My experience with the circle was amazing. I have been told that circles have power. And I am now a believer. I felt like my intentions of gaining insight and tools for my life and the lives of those I am blessed to work with were fulfilled. It confirmed so much of what I have learned over the last few years. I felt validated. The way the materials were presented was so well thought out and simple to follow. I gained so much support from the souls inside the circle and I gave a ton of support to them. That was also my personal intention for class. My experience was life changing. Jenny has changed my life for the better MANY times through her work and healing. Thank you Jenny Clarke ~Kevin S.

The series was an experience like none other! What was covered and how was truly impressive. Our group of participants were amazing – a small intimate, non-judgmental group. As a domestic violence survivor, I have participated extensively in many avenues of self-awareness and growth; individual cognitive therapy sessions for years, specialized group therapy sessions, read many books, am part of online groups and researched endlessly many self-growth and psychological disorders and topics online. I’ve done a lot of this work on different levels but this series really encompassed everything I have worked on and more in one workshop in 6 weeks. It put it all together (plus more) in an easy streamlined way. I was able to start to understand that I am my own life expert and I realized that I was seeking external advice or validation instead of listening to my own inner compass. I liked having a partner and the group circle. We did some hard inner work and I think sharing with others cultivated acceptance and moving forward. The group created a non-judgmental space that welcomed this. The struggles shape us into who we are. I was presented with the opportunity to give and receive support. It was interesting to hear others perspectives of me. I realized I do not see what they see in me (strength, courage, openness etc.) and that has stuck with me. Because of this, I realized I need to be easier on myself. I can’t wait for the next circle!

"Jenny’s coaching was full of gentle reinforcement that inspired me and provided loving guidance  to help me create a connection to my heart by taking small steps toward my desires. I get so much from her feedback emails after each session. The practical skills and wisdom (both personally and professionally) are exactly what I needed during this time of flux. Jenny really helped me stay focused on the details of the moment without getting confused or losing sight of the big picture." ~K.E.
