Here I will be sharing what I have learned, read and understood about the shift from various sources and spiritual teachers. Honestly, I do not know or comprehend everything about this, still I feel like sharing whatever I know for the highest good of all rather than withhold it.

2012 is believed by many to be the year marking the shift of the Ages. Through research it’s found that December 21, 2012 is when the Earth aligns with the Sun and with the Centre of our Milky Way galaxy. Some scientists are also predicting that this alignment could lead to an upcoming magnetic pole shift where the planet rotates over its core and the North Pole and South Pole switch positions. Mayan timekeepers’ records indicate that 2012 marks the close of several large cycles.

This change indicates a shift from darkness into light. The adjustment that will take place at the etheric, mental, emotional and physical level of the planet will set the course for the Earth to move towards a golden age consciousness where Higher intuitions and Divine energies prevail.
Some believe that 2012 will bring in natural disasters and also bringing the world to an end. While others believe that this shift is entirely spiritual and that it will bring in mutual consideration, acceptance and peaceful energies. So, should we worry? Answer is-No.

Chances are that neither of these extremes will occur. However, for some it will be just another year, while others may experience a noticeable spiritual ascension & become a beacon for the light path. What will happen in 2012 will vary for each individual soul and their spiritual journey. As information shared by great spiritual masters, 2012 will bring major changes in human consciousness. But it is also believed that it will not likely happen exactly on the December 21, 2012. This date is a marker for this general period of time when we have an opportunity to evolve. It started long ago, but in the beginning, the change was so gradual and minimal that most people didn’t notice.

So, what is Ascension! -The planetary shift is called Light Ascension, or just Ascension. Our individual spiritual advancement is also called Ascension. In other words, our soul’s vibration rate is increasing/ascending.

The expedition in 2012 is likely to be intriguing one at the same time a challenging one. What we experience and witness during this year will primarily depend on our own spiritual balance. Some individuals become more enlightened while others may get coiled into greater levels of darkness if they lose touch with their true nature. People who witness this period with consciousness will be elevated in a precise direction of self awareness. This will not be a matter of simply having a positive attitude; it will also be a matter of finding the true meaning behind the events, seeing the illusion and having the motivation to create a real abundance from within, despite what is happening in the outer world.

What can we expect from this year?

Every individual is unique and can experience one or many of the below changes- depending on their own beliefs, intensions and openness. Both your body and our consciousness are already being transformed, just that we have to make some conscious effort towards our outer and inward approach to bring that shift.

Here are some symptoms/changes you may recognize:

• Loss of interest in the people and random activities that attracted you before.

• Sudden change in food preference. For example, if someone likes eating non vegetarian food, now the stomach will reject it. Your system may urge you to eat food that is very close to Earth — vegetables and fruits.

• Some of you will no longer feel like following the conventional way of thinking. Specially the thinking related to status and pleasing others.

• You may feel the urge to take different direction in your career or suddenly realize that you simply cannot continue with that job any longer.

• You will have great desire to take things easier and make life less complicated.

• Prompting urge to spend time with yourself and feeling detached from the rest of the world.

• You may visit spa’s more often as you’ll want to relax & detox your body.

• Unexpected change in the way you dress up. You will find yourself wearing such colours which you couldn’t have imagined on yourself.

• Fearlessness, less anxiety for future and childlike innocence coming forth.

• Some people will have prominent spiritual awakening, accompanied with the feeling of clarity and empowerment.

• You may notice change in sleeping patterns. It will vary, sometimes you sleep too less at other times your body demanding more rest and sleep.

• You will like to do things that connect to your soul and bring joy and bliss eg-meditating, chanting, painting, singing, reading, doing charity work and spending time with kids, elders, parents...

• You will notice some changes in your body and physical health, too. Physical symptoms such as change in vision, or shift in energies in the body.

• There can be noticeable change in sexual drive for some people.

You may notice yourself swinging between the new way and the old way. You will experience a new You within YOU. So the best way is to accept it and embrace the new you rather than resisting it.

What to do! Suggestions and Tips:

• The first step I can advise is to become aware of your lower energy thoughts like fears, anger, insecurity, frustrations, superiority, jealousy, hatred, racism, judgments etc. Second is to having an honest intention of drop them all. This is not that difficult as it sounds. Just surrender the negative thoughts to Source in the form of honest requests for help. Divine /Source / Nature / Universe-whatever you call it- ALWAYS responds to honest requests for help. The response may come in an unexpected and uncanny way. You may read an article randomly in a magazine, or you may find a spiritual teacher or a master to help you see your true self or this help may come in the form of an energy worker (Reiki, hypnotherapy, and many others). It’s for sure that once you have faith in the Universal intelligence, you will automatically realize that you don’t have to do it alone.

• Helping those in needs with selfless motive is the best way to raise our frequency. Kindness helps us connect with others and ultimately with our own finer feelings.

• Remain connected with the positive emotions such as joy, peace, appreciation, compassion, kindness, considerate, forgiveness.

• Getting into natural way of being and healing will help like- Yoga & Pranayam; which strengthens our immune system

• Focus on your routines.

• Most imperative for all of us is the need to FOCUS ON THE Right intention and connecting to the higher vibrations. Remember, what we are vibrating is what we attract! The darkness cannot have power over us unless we are vibrating in a negative state. And as we release and surrender our negative (karmic) energies, we can take in more light, which brings us more happiness, joy and abundance.

• Those who are not involved in any practices that gives them the chance to connect with their inner self, like- chanting, meditation, reading books on spiritual awakenings, I will suggest them to start it NOW, to learn how to connect within yourself on a daily basis. Get in touch your true Being. In order to understand your true nature, and conditionings, your mind must acquire certain stillness. To attain that stillness and examine the nature of mind, its movement must cease. It is only after it goes quite; you will be able to touch the innermost recesses of your own self. Purity of thought and certain amount of discipline in daily routine helps a great deal in achieving mental stability.

• Whatever you do with speech, actions or words leave an imprint on your mind as well as in Universe. So the power of positive thought, action and karma can only take you towards so called Ascension.

May your awakening to the next level be filled with Understanding, Peace, Love and Bliss.
