Council of 12: Open Your Mind - Expand Your Options
Channeled by Selacia

==============================================
Imagine what would happen in the world if millions
of people began to focus on what is right instead of what is wrong? You can be one of those millions today. Trust that this
makes a difference. Your light and focus does matter. It will change your life, and your world.
To be sure, there is a need to know what needs
correcting, but the tendency in recent times is to focus on problems with tunnel vision. You are seeing this tendency playing
out in the political arena, in business, and in personal relationships.
Narrow mindedness can be found within people
on every continent. In a typical scenario, a person rigidly holds on to his or her opinion, insisting that it is the only
answer. There is not room for compromise. There is not room to see that other ideas may also be valid.

Moving Into Expanded Thinking
_________________________
A narrow point of view will keep your world
small and limited. This is the opposite of what you want. Your new-paradigm Earth cannot fully manifest until people learn
to move from narrow-minded thinking to expansive thinking. When you are thinking in an expansive way, you have openness to
other points of view.
When you have an open mind, you are not threatened
by the ideas of others. You welcome them. You have a choice about whether to adopt new ideas, in part or in full. You can
consider all points of view with your intuitively guided reason and then make your own choice.
To be most effective in your focusing on
ideas, remember balance. When your focus is in balance, you avoid the chaos of trying to wrap your mind around too many ideas
at once.

Focusing with Enlightened Consciousness
_________________________________
A Divine Changemaker learns to bring an enlightened
consciousness into focusing on issues. As you focus in on your life, realize that you cannot effectively focus on everything
at one time. As you awaken, you discover that putting the spotlight on everything at once distorts your ability to discern
truth. You could miss details, overreact, and be unable to distinguish fact from fiction.
Making your optimal choice is easier when you
are not stressed by over thinking. If you become too stressed, your mind can become clouded, and your emotions can negatively
influence what you do next.
Remember that even when you choose nothing
and take no action, your choice to do so is still a choice. There is energy in everything you do, feel, or think. Make your
choices wisely. Your power comes from being present and aware of your choices, and if necessary, altering them for your highest
good. Likewise, you access more potency when you stop worrying about past and future choices. The power to change your life
comes from today's choices.

Tips for Balance
______________
The following are some suggestions for staying
in balance during these chaotic times. Review this list when you begin to feel on overload, when you realize that you have
multiple decisions to make, and when you are either anxious or depressed.
1. Step back from thinking-and-doing
mode and tune into your heart. Your heart will help guide you to the next steps. Sometimes that next step is to be still.
In the stillness, you can better hear your inner wisdom, and you can be refueled for greater creativity.
2. If you are seeing troubles at every turn,
remember that it is the energy of goodness that fuels creation. At a core level, the quality of goodness is within you, and
it is within everyone you meet. Focus on wishing others goodness - without agenda or condition - and you generate a positive
vibration. It is easier to wish goodness like this for those you love. The path of the Divine Changemaker is to wish goodness
for all, including strangers and those who oppose you. Becoming skilled at this is a part of your path. Set your intent to
see the goodness in the world, and in other people.
3. When you are facing a problem, consider
talking about it less. Give the dilemma less energy by focusing on it less. This means reducing the amount of time you think
about it, talk about it, and worry about it. Set your intention to give your energy to positive changes and to noticing things
to be grateful for.
4. Even in your darkest moments, you can
cultivate a feeling of gratitude. When you do this, you raise your frequency. It is like an energy tonic. When you are feeling
expansive from expressing gratitude, your naturally generate positivity. A more positive point of view can open the door to
new possibilities and innovative solutions for your life.
5. Some days when life has become complex
and stressful, it may be challenging to access your center. It may be difficult to appreciate your circumstances, or to feel
a real connection with the world. In those moments, think of something bigger than you that inspires you-something that reminds
you of the interconnectedness of all life. Think of something that's more beautiful than what you are seeing in your life.
Examples include a double rainbow, a majestic redwood tree, and the sun setting on a sparkling blue ocean.
6. Let go of trying to fit in or have what
others have. When you go into nature, the flower or tree that catches your eye is not a carbon copy of others. It stands out
because of its uniqueness. There is something different about how it catches the light, its color, or its overall feel. Know
that you are like the flower or tree. It's okay to be different. You don't need to look like the others, or be like them either.
You shine most brightly when you are genuine and not pretending to be like the crowd.
7. Do you want to have more joy in your life?
Consider lightening up as you approach your work, your relationships, and yourself. When you take life too seriously, you
become too attached to outcomes and are less able to accept what is. A too-serious approach will kill your joy because you
will be trying too hard. Lighten up today, then, and discover the joy that's naturally there.
8. When you want to feel more peace, think
of a beautiful nature scene with water or go there if you can. Imagine the calm, life-giving water. Invite into your energy
field the element of water. Intend that this opens you to a flow of goodness and love. This energy flow is boundless. You
have plenty for yourself, and plenty to give to others. Give some away! You then expand the flow of goodness and love in the
world.
As you continue the journey of discovering
your divine nature, we surround you with our love and blessings.
