Trump has caused quite a stir — I think we can all probably agree on that, regardless of our position.
America is divided, which is a VERY good and even expansive thing.
This statement may seem strange at first, but hear me out.
If you are shocked, saddened, or scared about Trump’s presidency, this is an important reminder.
If you are committed to being a deliberate creator of your own reality and happiness, this is an important video to watch.
This is the first episode of Awaken TV for 2017, so why not start with a little controversy to get you thinking?
Please feel free to be part of the discussion by posting a comment below the video.
I hope this helps.
Much love,
Thanks RJ,
I do feel the impetus and the dynamic energy that the Trump phenomenon is creating in the US and around the world. For me in Canada I am inspired to be more proactive, to seize the moment and offer my gifts with confidence and clarity and especially without apology. For me division and conflict stimulate clarity, compassion and action.
Thanks for your reflection and questions to start the year,
Elizabeth A.
I’m absolutely in the belief that his presence is that of a facilitator to stir the underpinnings of what needs to change inside of us. Our presence in the world in connection with each other and what we bring to life. They say we keep getting lessons which become louder and more painful until we ‘get it.’ The universe has turned up the volume, eh? Everyone has a different view traveling up the mountain we are on. No one can see the view we each have individually. What one person sees is not the same as another’s view. We all have a part to bring to find the larger picture that benefits us all. That’s why each one of us matters so much. It may feel more painful for those who have stronger opinions about their beliefs and view. Our separation in duality has reached a tipping point where we are coming into greater awareness of the need for change. Thank you Rachael Jayne for the tools you present.
Love to here how people are changing themselves in view of the new leadership of our amazing government. I like the fact that we have this diverse opinion poloraized because up untill now, we have been a luke-warm government of the people with lots of opportunities to complain and play victim. Now is our time to shine in our truth of how we are motivated to make a difference dispite the circumstances. LOV IT !
I completely agree!
Thank you so much Rachel Jayne for this refreshing calming and respectful post to current happening… and to our surroundings in general. I so much feel same just wouldnt find the words so well. I am not american but if current president does represents a certain size of population how there can be so much unhappeniness now, as you say we all are now inspired to do more, to say more, to think more and this stronger presence of all us is important. Lets make sure its all positive and constructive and only good things will happen. Your post should go to all TV news.
You are so true. I decided to redefine myself this year and become an activist – something new to me. Because the change has to start from the bottom up with me
I was just saying this exact same thing to a yoga client the other day, Rachael Jayne, so I’m so glad to hear you reinforcing it.
Thank you!!
“Tread softly, all the earth is holy ground, it could be with “seeing eyes” this spot we stand on is a Paradise ”
This poetry by Christina Rossetti has been an inspiration to me for many years -with the world’s dicord it is high time to get my act together towards a project with a vision for the future – ecology – meditation -etc a kind of “ashram” in the centre of France
Thank you Rachel Jayne I always enjoyed your videos which I have been following for a while now and confirm and put words on things learnt over the past years as a yoga and meditation student , also NPL.
I am an english ceramist living from my craft here in France, and my search for harmony is what drives me onwards and upwards !
Seeing what we don’t want can make us clearer about what we do. This a powerful message RJ that shows us that getting clear on our desires is the first step to creating powerful change. Thank you!
Rachael Jayne,
I love your work and am an avid follower. Yet, I was saddened when I read the subject line of your email, and heard this video.
Contrast may be good, even motivating. Yes, contrast may create desire for some. And I am very happy for those who may finally be motivated to act. There is much to be learned from whatever it motivates us, and awakens change.
Yet, this does equate America being a divided nation a good thing. Especially for those who will deeply suffer from this division. When I put myself in their place, I wonder how this may be received. For some, it will be motivating (in a Viktor Frankl kinda’ way), for others may come across disconnected, or privileged, and somewhat elitist.
I am spiritual and understand the place of the trickster to move us, but, for me, saying a country divided is a good thing is beyond that spirit.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this. I appreciate all sides to this.
You are spot on Rachael Jayne! thanks sooo much for this episode at this time, this is an opportunity to wake up and be heard! And the best thing I have found in these last days is that “I am not alone” ! there is a world of people, thousands, millions of others who are standing for what is important to us, can’t be lonely and afraid with all these beautiful people with me! Beautifully said Rachael Jayne, thank you.
Catalyst for change, time to wake up and pay attention to what matters!!!
Thank you for these wise thoughts JR. My understanding has always been all things are as they should be, otherwise they would not be so. And in this understanding there is clarity to the situation of America at present. So Trump’s policy implementation is representative of an abscess that has been Hidden underneath the skin and now it is erupting, to be seen. And like these medical situations within the body they cannot be dealt with until they are addressed, until they can be found and identified and for so long these rumblings have been taking place underneath the surface and no one has let them rise up and been seen so blatantly like the puss from an abscess. And as painful a process as this is, healing can now occur the same as It can within body once the dis-ease has been identified, and with any dis-ease it will take time, it will take attention, it will take discipline to heal what is being festering for so long. This is an incredible opportunity for your country, it will indeed be a painful process. And my heart goes out to all those that will be so negatively impacted by this. The reality is already so many within your country are being negatively impacted, it’s just not being talked about or seen. Now the world will see. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Catalyst for Change! Time to wake up and pay attention to what matters!!!
Hi dear Rachael Jayne 🙂 Thank you for once more making things clear! I do believe that what you are saying can even be enlarged to the global world situation, for almost wherever we are there is conflict and unacceptable things happening… I even find our president in turkey is just like yours in us…. And on the luminous side, it IS the trigger for motivation to change, to move, to be part of the big changes that are (anyhow) taking place in the world… So YES… we have to continue on the path of light, love, righteousness, wisdom… But without being “against”… Without being “rebell fighting” .. Rather, being True beings Creating, True Human beings offering another way of life… Which you are perfectly embodiying… Which i also try to embody at my level with the Yunus Emre farm in Turkey and my recently published book “Adventures of a yogini pilot around the earth, or a thirsty quest for truth” (in french, hopefully one day in english 🙂 …
All the best to you and team, and I do hope to join one of your trainings … soonnnnn !!!…. Ommmm Love…
Thank you RJ for your message, I have felt that Trump is awakening all of us to our true desires, whether for his policies or against his policies.
He sure is helping my cause, towards Domestic Peace, women and men will be ready to hear what I have to say about government monies being spent on Prevention programs. They will demand Women’s Centres (Women’s Business) and Men’s Centres (Men’s Business) within their communities, a place for them to go, to share & care for self and each other.
Also, governments here in Australia will be required to become more transparent with the people, as elected representatives, they have forgotten they are elected to serve the people, and listen to the people, I say it’s time, for Community Leadership.

This is one of the best episodes ever! It’s fabulous! Thank you!
This controversy has inspired me to look for positive things/people all day, every day. It has also inspired me to do 3 things each week that support my view, my opinion to better my city/state/the nation. I do my best to have presence before strategy even while typing on the computer: social media, emails, and letters I send via snail mail. It works!!!! Thank you, Rachel Jayne! I can playfully swing from that colorful balloon of HOPE!
