1 week into Shift Movement
Wow! Here we are a week into the beta launch of Shift Movement to those who went to Barbara Marx Hubbard’s 2012 event, and with only one email we’re past 2000 members and seeing inspired creativity, amazing membership and a great beginning to a Great Movement.
As Co-Creator and project manager for ShiftMovement.com, I have been involved in the process from the get go. Bit by bit we’ve been preparing for our opening the doors on the site. That time has come and while we’re just getting started in that regard, it’s a great start indeed.
Now that we’re moving, we’re moving full steam ahead, and we’re on the fast track to continue to create the technology that will help this Movement grow and become a great Light of the world. Of course it takes more than great technology to create a great movement, and we are fortunate enough to have an amazing group of inspired members joining us here.
We each have a piece of the puzzle for the whole and I feel that Shift Movement is a grand opportunity for us to find our voice, uncover our talents and let our Light shine.
For me, Shift Movement is like a re-charging station for us as we go into the world and have our day to day experiences, we can come back to that point of Light that helps us keep our focus on the Light in All and on the Shift’s we are making in ourselves and our world.
I’m truly excited about how the beginning of this Movement is growing and I see a Wave of empowered Creators forming that can really help wash over the illusions of powerlessness and separation of the collective consciousness and help us surf into a more Interconnected, Abundant, Empowered and Creative Way of Being for us all. Knowing of course that in order for Shift to happen in our world, it always starts with ourselves!
On a personal note, I kicked my coffee habit which was not benefiting me (two weeks + into it at least), thanks to my public commitment using the “My Shift” functionality of Shift. I had tried to do kick this habbit before and I was not able to, it was the public commitment and posting about it that enabled me to stick with the Shift even when tempted to do otherwise. I’ve also started to journal everyday because I made a public commitment in the 40 Consecutive Days of Mindfulness Practice Shift. (Have you been inspired to make a commitment for these 40 days of Mindfulness Practice?)
Whatever contributions we make, whether it is sharing our gratitude and journeys, creating and fulfilling Shifts for ourselves or community, or encouraging others; whatever we offer that helps raise us or others higher, this is the bounty of the Shift for me. And perhaps the greatest bounty of all is when we make personal Shifts within ourselves because every step we take forward is a step for all when we realize how connected we all really are.
There are so many amazing people joining Shift Movement (you are one of them) and we’re working behind the scenes (and yes we have an amazing development team too : ) to create the technology that makes it easier and more effective for everyone to get to know each other, have great conversations and really connect for real world greatness to take place.
For me, Shift Movement is our Movement and it is time to move back into the Presence of the Now together as One by finding our interconnectedness within ourselves and truly Being the Ones we have been waiting for.
I’m looking forward to growing with our Movement, we certainly are embarking on a remarkable journey and adventure into the Life more Abundant for us all.
Hear me oh Universe, I Am Grateful ~!
May our journey together be a bright One.
Espavo ~ (<Ancient greeting means: Thank you for taking your Power),

Dear Michael,
Words are not enough to express the deep gratitude I feel for your spiritual activism, for your commitment to foster such an ingenious Movement that will grow so large that it will shake the world and will contribute to put humanity in a new era of enlightenment!
God bless you!
With profound admiration, your sister from Brazil,
Mirian

Beautiful, Michael, all of it especially :- “Of course it takes more than great technology to create a great movement, and we are fortunate enough to have an amazing group of inspired members joining us here.”
Oh yes Michael I agree you have done an amazing job, now it’s up to the members to do something amazing to make this work. We really have to challenge our own beliefs, get stuck into to the courses offered if you can afford to and are inclined. I am sure the courses are great and they will be of great assistance in assisting yo to break down the programming that has been forced upon us.
PLease be careful when leaving a form of programming it is way to be drawn in to another. It is a very confronting to embrace your own individual energy formula but you can get there and the shift is a GREAT place to start.
Michael, I don’t know how to reply in the right place to the message you sent me about Mind Movies. So I’ll do it here, hoping you’ll see it. You ask me what Mind Movies are. They are very short ( about 3 minutes ) multisensory “prayers”, if you like. You collect together pictures that represent what you would like to see happening, put short phrases or single words to match them, string them together on film and add suitable music. Then you watch the movie every day and your subconscious works to bring that about- harnessing the Law of Attraction. Some enterprising people in Australia set up a business selling people kits to make their own in order to attract into their lives whatever they might be desiring. They’re a bit pushy, but it seems these movies really work by reprogramming the mind and harnessing the Law of Attraction. If you watch it enough you start to create that very reality. I think their website is http://www.mindmovies.com
If it works on an individual level, I wonder how great the collective effect could be. On that principle I thought we could make one, or a variety of them, for people on the Shift network and beyond to watch as often as possible. All watching and hearing the same might indeed speed up manifestation of our collective vision. I am collecting images for mine of dolphins, blue unpolluted seas, beautiful water crystals, joyful people of all races dancing together,bees pollinating flowers, thick Amazon forests, stuff like that and anything that represents the new world we are envisioning. Captions might be “We are all one inclusive family”, “The Amazon forest is respected and nurtured” “We love and respect all animal species” “The Earth’s rivers and lakes are clean and vibrant with life”. “The Great Coral Reef is flourishing”,”Political decisions are always made for the highest good of all” and and so on. It requires thought and inspiration to make one that really embodies what the Shiftnetwork is encouraging us all to envision. It needs to be beautiful and inspiring to watch and the music needs to be something that doesn’t get obsessive when you hear it over and over. Maybe we could even have a competition and members could vote the one they find most inspiring. I hope this is clear. If not you could have a look at the site I mentioned. I’m sure there are lots of people in the network who have experience making their own if you think it’s worth publicising the idea. It’s based on Abraham’s communications to us about manifesting, on Wayne Dyer’s Meditation for Manifesting, on the idea that what we focus on is what we get more of and so on. What do you think?

Michael this is the culmination of huge commitment and effort from your part. I’m sure you have spent many many nights philosophising about the intricacies of bringing some useful features to the community which empower those who reside here. It’s great to see that the time spent has now brought around a working product. The speed things have grown here is awesome.
I personally feel a change within having been attached to it since 2010 and feel honoured to have met such a champion.
It is however not only the site itself that brings these feelings it’s the positive feelings encompassing everything that surround it. From an introduction to the old Gaia to reading about the progress of other spiritualists via Ning and the whole deal really.
Really is a great time to make a Shift.
Thank you.
You could always do a Charlie Sheen and blink your coffee habit away.
Michael,
Blessings to you and all there on bringing together such a positive force and movement of change, from which we can all benefit. This is something that everyone I am coming into contact with is feeling, even those that are not normally open to this way of thinking.
I believe I have a way that everyone who is part of the network can stay in contact in real time through a Mobile App we have developed. I know that things are moving at a break neck speed there, but I would love to speak with you about this. We are http://www.resonantapps.com and we are dedicated to helping bring people together in a meaningful and connected manner. Do look at our website and please let me know what you think.
Thank you,
George
