21. Introspection, solitude and loss of interest in more extraverted activities: This stage has come as a surprise to many extraverts who formerly saw themselves as outgoing and involved. They say, "I don't know why, but I don't like to go out as much as before." (I dont want to go anywhere or do anything. Dont ask me why. Its just like that. Now shoo!)

Advice: Be quiet and listen. Sleep. Rest.

22. Creativity bursts: Receiving images, ideas, music, and other creative inspirations at an often overwhelming rate. (Bursts of interest towards certain type of music, drawing more often)

Advice: At least record these inspirations, for Spirit is speaking to you about how you might fulfill your purpose and contribute to the healing of the planet.

23. A perception that time is accelerating. It seems that way because you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing. (Too many things to do, I dont have time. Im growing old. What am I doing?)

Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time segments increases the sense of acceleration .You can slow time down by relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what's at hand, not anticipating what's ahead. Slow down and tell yourself that you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power to help you. Keep your focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next. Stay tuned to your inner guidance... You can also warp time by asking for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, "Time warp, please. I need some more time to -----." Then relax.

24. A sense of impendingness. There is a feeling that something is about to happen. This can create anxiety. (Something is going to happen. I dont know what it is. But its happening. Oh gawd!)

Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely happening, but anxiety only creates more problems for you. All your thoughts, positive or negative, are prayers. There is nothing to fear.

25. Impatience. You know better, but sometimes you can't help it. You want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is not comfortable. (What does the future hold for me? Ive been thinking so much about this and its killing me. Will I ever find my purpose in time before I die?)

Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty, knowing that nothing comes to you until you are ready. Impatience is really a lack of trust, especially trust in your Higher Power. When you focus on the present, you will experience miracles -- yes, even in traffic.

26. A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and revelation. Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in your life. "Constant craving", as k.d. lang says. The material world cannot fulfill this longing. (I seek God in everything. Im not a spritual person or God fearing but recently I dont see how else to go about my day without the Lord to show me what I am supposed to do)

Advice: Follow your heart and the way will open up for you.

27. A feeling that you are somehow different. A disquieting sense that everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have left your old self behind. You find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and "speaks to you" at the most profound levels. Suddenly you are gaining a perspective that you would never have considered before. You hunger to know more. You read, share with others, ask questions, and go inside to discover more about who you are and why you are here. (Who am I? I know that I need to be happy first before making anyone else happy)

Advice: You have left your old self. You are much greater than you can possibly imagine. There is more to come.

28. Invisible presences. Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report feeling surrounded by beings at night or having the sensation of being touched or talked to. Often they will wake with a start. Some also feel their body or bed vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic changes after emotional clearing has taken place.
(When I sleep, there is a vibration within me as soon as I fall into deep sleep)

Advice: This is a sensitive topic, but you may feel better blessing your bed and space around it before you sleep. Rest assured that you are surrounded only by the most magnificent spiritual entities and you always safe in God's care. Sometimes, however, the fear gets to you, call in Archangel Michael. Don't beat yourself up for being afraid sometimes.

29. Portents, visions, "illusions", numbers, and symbols: Seeing things that have spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers appear synchronistically in your awareness. (I dream of numbers. Quite oddly numbers which have a significance to something)

Advice: Everything has a message if you take the time to look. Enjoy the experience of "getting the messages." What fun!

30. Increased integrity: You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth. It suddenly seems important for you to become more authentic, more yourself. You may have to say "no" to people whom you have tried to please in the past. You may find it intolerable to stay in a marriage or job or place that doesn't support who you are. You may also find there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep anymore. Honesty becomes important in all your relationships. (Dont ask me why Ive never said it before about the way I feel. Im saying it now. Take it as it is)

Advice: Listen to your heart. If your guidance tells you not to do something, speak up and take action. Say "no". Likewise, you must also say "yes" to that which compels you. You must risk displeasing others without guilt in order to attain spiritual sovereignty.
