2.1 How to Divinize Your Business
Today I want to share something that's been brewing in my heart and mind for a while now. It's to have a deeper conversation about unity consciousness and bringing that into our business, what I'm calling divinizing our business and how we can align with our work, our work with the nine waves of creation.
This is especially important right now as we navigate so much uncertainty in the world, whether it's political turmoil, natural disasters or just the general chaos that makes life feel overwhelming. I've been working with these ideas for some time and I feel like it's finally time to share them with you.
They've been a grounding force for me, especially during moments when the world felt like it was falling apart. If you've been feeling that nudge to integrate spirituality into your business and more into your life, or if you're just curious about how to do business differently in a way that feels more aligned and more intentional, then this is for you.
Many of us feel torn between spirituality and business. It can feel like we have to choose one over the other, especially if we're using a lot of traditional business building strategies. Either we focus on our spiritual growth, or we focus on building a successful business. And a lot of times they seem to be in direct opposition to each other.
But what if we didn't have to choose? What if we could bring these two worlds together in a way that feels harmonious, that feels aligned? And that's what I mean by divinizing our business. How can we bring the divine into our work? Not just in the services that we offer, but in how we build, how we grow and how we scale our business.
I'm talking about aligning with the bigger cosmic energies that are shaping our world right now and using that alignment to create something that's truly meaningful. To understand what it means to divinize our business, we have to talk about the ninth wave of creation. This concept comes from Mayan cosmology, and it's explored by Carl Johan Calleman in his book The Nine Waves of Creation.
He puts forth this framework that I'm going to be using to analyze the way we've been doing business now, and how we can start transforming it to meet the new demands of a new consciousness. This idea that there are nine waves of energy, that have shaped human consciousness and societal structures over time come directly from Mayan cosmologies, but are also reflected in other spiritual cultures.
Each wave represents a different stage in evolution, especially human evolution. And right now we're moving into the 9th wave. The 9th wave is the last one that just came into effect and we've just had it for a few decades. And this is the wave of unity consciousness.
Now, let me break this down a little bit.
I'm not going to be focusing on all the nine waves. You can dive deeper into Carl Calleman book that explains it really gives a history and detailed analysis of How and when each of the nine waves came into existence and what the energies that each of the nine waves brought forward.
I'm going to focus on the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th wave because those are the ones that are directly impacting us and the ones that we can start shifting away from.
Something that we want to understand about the waves is that all of the waves have positive aspects that have propelled consciousness and creation and especially human consciousness forward.
However, there are also shadow aspects of each of these waves. We definitely want to celebrate the positive creative aspects of each of the waves, but we want to be really conscious of what the shadow aspects are. And instead of staying stuck in that wave, we need to keep transforming. Transforming and adding the next wave and the next wave of consciousness as the ninth wave starts affecting human consciousness more and more.
THE SIXTH WAVE
Let's start with the sixth wave.
The sixth wave brought us dualistic thinking. That's the idea of good versus evil, of us versus them. So the sixth wave created hierarchical structures, patriarchy, and also systems of inequality.
The wave began around 3000 B. C. and marked the rise of civilizations, of pyramids, and structured minds. It was a time when humanity began to organize itself into cities, developing writing, and creating complex societies. However, this wave also introduced power imbalances and competition, which have shaped much of human history.
THE SEVENTH WAVE
The seventh wave, which came in around 1800 AD, brought the industrial revolution and the technological advancements.
This wave emphasized democracy, freedom, and equality, but it also made the inequalities of the sixth wave much more visible. It was a time of great progress, but also of exploitation and environmental degradation. One of the things that we see here with the seventh wave in a way helps us to respond to the shadow aspects of the sixth wave, but the six wave energies are very much entrenched.
And so it does take time to start moving out of them.
THE EIGHTH WAVE
Now the eighth wave, which began in 1999, brought the digital revolution and global connectivity. This wave has allowed us to connect with people across the globe, share ideas, and create new forms of collaboration. However, we're still grappling with the shadows of the sixth and seventh waves, as the power imbalances, inequality, and environmental destruction.
With the eighth wave , we still are very much in our own individuality and even those of us who have been focused on thinking about how to connect more to our spirituality and how to bring our spirituality much more into our divine human experience. We're still thinking in terms of separation. So even though we want to be more integrated, the idea of separation is very much still in play with the sixth, seventh, and eighth waves.
THE NINTH WAVE
Now the ninth wave is calling us to move beyond duality and hierarchy. It's more focused on creating unity, collaboration, and as a result, creating a more egalitarian society.
And this wave isn't about escaping the world. It's about bringing these higher energies into our human experience. So a lot of times when you hear me speak about the ninth wave, it's going to be using a lot of similar language that we hear when spiritual people start talking about Ascension.
With Ascension, sometimes there's this understanding that in ascending we're leaving the physical world behind or our 3D experience, our human experience behind and that's not at all what we're trying to do with the ninth wave and in fact again it's about bringing these higher energies into our human experience.
How can we create harmony? How can we create balance and interconnectedness in everything that we do?
So how does this relate to your business?
If we're being called to align to the 9th wave, that means that our businesses can and should reflect these principles of unity and collaboration.
But to do that, we need to move away from the old paradigms of the 6th and 7th waves, those extractive, hierarchical and manipulative ways of doing business that so many of us have been taught.
So, for example, think about traditional marketing. It often feels transactional. It feels manipulative and focused on exploiting pain points. It's rooted in the sixth and seventh wave energies of power and hierarchy.
But what if we could do marketing differently?
What if we could create genuine connections, that's bringing in the energies of the 8th wave. We can offer value without necessarily expecting an immediate return and build businesses that are rooted in mutual support and reciprocity, which are more the energies of the 9th wave.
That's the shift that we're being called to make.
Calleman sets up this framework, and that's a framework that I'm going to be using to analyze more deeply and to share ideas about how we can unhook ourselves from the shadow aspects of the sixth, seventh and eighth wave and align more into this ninth wave consciousness.
So how do we do this exactly? How do we align our businesses and really our life with the ninth wave?
The framework that Carl Calleman brings forward in his Nine Waves of Creation book, but I'm going to be applying them directly to business. The first thing that Calleman suggests is that we must develop an understanding of the waves.
EDUCATION AND AWARENESS
The very first step is, of course, education and awareness. We want to educate ourselves about the waves. This is part of what I'll be doing with this podcast. I'll be sharing about the nine waves of creation much more here, sharing my understanding of it and how it relates to life and how we can alchemize and transform the shadow aspects of the sixth seventh and eighth wave Understanding this framework can help us to make more intentional choices in our businesses.
One question, for example, that we can ask ourselves is, is this decision aligned with a sixth wave of hierarchy and power or with a ninth wave of unity and collaboration? are we actively seeking solutions that promote an interconnected and compassionate worldview?
We want to try and move away from just thinking about our individuality, and not just our own personal individuality, but our family, our community, our country. And, start thinking more in a global sense.
How does a particular decision or action affect the world; what are the global ramifications of those particular decisions?
MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION
The next strategy that he recommends is to develop mindfulness and meditation. So engaging in daily meditation practice. What this does is it's going to quiet the mind and allow us to connect to these higher frequencies. Meditation helps us in raising our vibrational state and tuning into the subtle energies of the ninth wave.
Mindfulness really allows us to be present and fully aware in each moment and foster a deeper connection with unity consciousness and the energies of the ninth wave.
When we meditate, when we are mindful, they allow us to notice when we're resonating with the lower waves like energies of fear, of scarcity, or competition, and then consciously shift back to unity consciousness.
Meditation again allows us to quiet the mind, allows us to notice, allows us to disconnect and then to be more mindful and present in the moment and be conscious and intentional about the energy that we are creating from.
SPIRITUAL PRACTICES AND INTENTIONS
The next strategy is to focus on spiritual practices and intentions. So we want to think about what unity consciousness looks like in business? We want to set the intentions for harmony, for equality, for interconnectedness.
We want to focus on actions that promote equality, that promote peace, that promote interconnectedness.
And one of the ways that we can do this is by thinking about how we can promote these values in our offers, in our marketing, and in our interactions with clients.
One way that we can think about incorporating spiritual practices into business that can be very practical is thinking about bringing ritual into your business and your life.
So how can you develop personal rituals that align with the energies of the ninth wave? So these can be like following the moon cycles to do business planning, maybe bringing in gratitude practices, perhaps using astrological guidance for planning and for business activities and for launching.
Rituals can help us to stay connected to the divine and infuse our work with spiritual energy.
HEALING AND CLEARING
The next strategy is healing and clearing.
Many of us carry old patterns and traumas that keep us stuck in lower wave energies. So when we heal and clear, what we do is we release negative patterns.
We work on healing the past traumas and clearing negative thought patterns that resonate with the lower waves. We can use any techniques like energy healing, therapy, journaling, anything that's going to help us come into awareness and then release those patterns. It doesn't matter what particular strategy is our favorite; they all can work.
The key is to find those particular strategies that work with you. I'm going to be talking about some of them and how you can use them to heal and clear all of them and how they can be helpful in helping us to step more fully into the ninth wave to step out of those old patterns and more fully into the ninth wave.
Now to do this, we want to make sure that we embrace forgiveness and compassion, especially with ourselves. We want to be gentle. With ourselves as we're aligning with the ninth wave.
We want to consider that. It's a journey. It's not going to be a destination when you find that you're resonating with the lower waves, don't judge yourself. Just notice it and then gently shift back and start focusing on how you can more fully start connecting with the energies of the ninth wave.
MAKE CONSCIOUS LIFESTYLE CHOICES
Now, the next strategy is to focus on conscious lifestyle choices.
That means to focus on sustainable living, not just in our own personal lives, but also in how we do business. Make lifestyle choices and business choices that support environmental sustainability and social equity.
We want to be mindful about consumption, about reducing waste, supporting ethical practices. These choices ripple out and contribute to a much more harmonious world. So think about how you live your life is going to impact your business.
One way that we can be much more conscious is by engaging with the community. When we engage with the community, we foster collective wellbeing and mutual support.
Being part of a community that shares similar values amplifies the resonance of the ninth wave. We want to build and support communities that reflect ninth wave values. This could be online or offline, but the key is mutual support or mutual aid. And we want to make sure that we're giving and receiving in equal measure.
CREATIVITY AND EXPRESSION
The last strategy is to make sure that we're focused on creativity and expression.
We want to engage in creative activities that allow for authentic self expression. And this is the reason why so many of us go into business, because we want to be free to express ourselves and our interests, our values and our passion.
So now how we express ourselves and when we think about creative expression, we usually think of art, of music and writing, but there's other forms of creativity that can be powerful ways to connect with and share the energies of the ninth wave.
Whatever creative outlet you decide to choose, you want to let your unique voice shine. Because authentic self expression is a powerful way to align with the ninth wave.
You want to participate in or initiate projects that emphasize collaboration and collective creativity that is reinforcing the principles of unity and co-creation.
Now, I know I've talked about a lot here, and so this particular episode is about introducing you to the ninth wave energies and to the different topics that I'm going to be breaking down in future episodes.
What you want to do is think of which one most resonates with you right now. And you want to start with that. You want to start little. Of course, this is a journey. It's not going to be a destination. We're not going to get to the end.
The more that we integrate these ninth wave energies, then the more that we open the door for other people to be also able to connect to the energies of this new level of consciousness and the more that we make it possible for this egalitarian world to be created for future generations.
For me, understanding the ninth wave has been transformative.
It has helped me navigate some of the most chaotic years of my life--whether it's been political turmoil or the pandemic, personal challenges, death of loved ones. Whenever I feel ungrounded, I come back to this framework. It reminds me that I'm part of something bigger and that my choices matter.
And I can use my analytical mind to consider -- if I am feeling weighed down -- where am I being hooked in by the 6th and 7th wave energies? How can I unhook myself from them and then tap into the higher vibrational energies?
Now, I've also started to see how these principles can be applied to business.
For example, in my offerings like my Quantum Hypnosis sessions and the Meet the Spirit of Your Business program I've been intentional about aligning with the ninth wave and giving my clients an opportunity to connect with those higher vibrational energies.
My main issue here is thinking about different ways to help you connect with these higher energies and to share, how you can use them to create something that's truly aligned.
The ninth wave is calling us right now to step into a new way of being, both in our personal lives and in our businesses.
We're moving away from old extractive models and toward something more collaborative, more connected, more divine. If you've been feeling that call, know that you're not alone.
This is a journey we're on together. Start small, educate yourself, set intentions, take one step at a time. The more that we align with the ninth wave, the more we'll see its impact ripple out into the world.
Thank you so much for joining me today. If this resonates with you, I'd love for you to share it with others who might be feeling the same call.
Let's continue this conversation and support each other as we divinize our lives and our businesses and step into unity consciousness
