Dear Common Awakening Community,

We say that your State is the Solution at Common Awakening and you may have wondered what that actually means. How could it be that where you are positioned spiritually makes that much difference?

In our last podcast clip we share our larger WHY—Why Common Awakening, Why our mission compels us to dedicate our life to teaching you how to live from Fullness, and Why state change matters for your life and for the larger world.

So much of spiritual teaching is about temporary experiences that fade over time or focus solely on what we believe and the acts we do. It doesn't make traction with day to day life and stays ungrounded and unsustained.

We are passionate about change that makes a difference in daily life and impacts people— impacts you—for the positive, where you are compelled to live awake and to invite others to wake up. 

We leave you with a few reflections about your own state: 

• Do you have a memory of feeling incredibly alive and connected? What was your inner and outer surround? 
• Have you felt down in a slump to have it switch when you changed contexts or made a change? What shifted? 
• Have you ever changed a rumination or negative internal message and noticed feeling better or lighter? 

These are all examples of simple State Changes that make a difference to how we feel. When you learn to position in your true place of power—to Come Home—you have the tools you need to change not only how you feel, but to live from a new place—a new state—that changes you and changes the world. This is Awakened Living. This is how we change and change the world. You really do have that much power within you.

With love,

Annie & Annmarie
