Doing New Things

Before travelling to Zurich, I confided to someone that going to Europe this time felt equivalent to preparing to drive to go to Barrie (in Ontario, a brief one to one and a half hour drive from Toronto).  Sure, I prepared by dropping off my dog at a sitter's house, buying Swiss Francs, and bringing my passport, which would not have been required if driving an hour within one's own province, but the point is there was such familiarity to such international travel, to Europe.  If I was going to a location I have not travelled to yet, such as Africa or Australia, then it may have felt different.  Usually newness can create anxiety.  But as we do 'new' things all the time, over time, they no longer create anxiety, because one feels used to doing things that are new, and one looks forward to such activities with more excitement and anticipation, than anxiety.  Many people engage in international travel - the benefits are these:  in changing ones routine, international travel affects and changes ones own energetics and even physiology; international travel expands you, helps you pick up on the energy of someone else or a situation, you become better able to understand and see other peoples' viewpoints; thought patterns are downloaded from the location you traveled to, ones viewpoints are more expanded; you see and feel things differently; you pick up on gut feelings and energies off the radar screen better; view different cultures and different architecture; it helps you see your present "reality" with a more discerning eye.  People, places and things around them are no longer "the same old thing."  Your goals and dreams expand. Everything is different, and one becomes enamored with all experiences along the way - experiences are no longer categorized as "good" or bad." They were merely experiences that coloured the present to be the delicious, joyous, creative moment it is right now....and all, anything, becomes possible. I  intentionally wanted to share these energies, and although it was very late in the time zone I traveled from and lived in for the past few days, I attended a toastmasters meeting the day I returned.  The toastmaster indicated that in the 8 years he belonged to that group, that it was the absolutely best meeting he had ever attended since he joined.  While there were specific things that happened at the physical manifestation level by those that presented, I knew my vibrational frequencies and thoughts benefited those in the room.  The ability I developed does not happen haphazardly just by deciding or willing it to happen.  People do not significantly increase the planet's vibration without dramatically increasing their own vibration, cognitions, insights, thoughts, behaviors, manners.   This "power" or ability has been developed following a very specific recipe or support structure,  and is available to anyone. I am happy to recognize, "I don't know what I don't know."
