Ok, so you don’t really HAVE to stay positive. That is a choice. Sometimes a good one. And sometimes a spiritually bypassing one. It’s good to notice when your seat is on fire. It’s good to rise up. It’s good to get support.
But that’s not the real point I wanted to make with this post. The real point I wanted to make is that I see many people having experiences like this lately. Like, shit just hitting the fan ALL OVER THE PLACE. At some point, you really just feel like laughing, crying, or both. And that’s all ok.
Another one of my favorite references is the image of the dance band on the Titanic who just kept playing as the boat went down. It’s all going to hell, we might as well enjoy ourselves. That can be a valid reply. And a lot of weird, wacky fun.
Which is not to say that I think we are necessarily all on our way to Hell. I believe we are uncovering a lot of stuff that is about to be healed and made better. And from there, we can affect real change from the heart.
Interesting that all the images and metaphors I am drawn to for this energy seem to be really mixed. The mixed energy feels in alignment with what many have been feeling. One day, everything looks great and fine. The next day, it seems like everything is in the toilet. The next day, it’s all fine again. Have you experienced this feeling? It can be crazymaking. And, in a weird way, it’s all true.
Here’s what it’s telling us:
Don’t take your cue from external circumstances.
I’m gonna say that again.
Don’t take your cue from external circumstances.
We have so much power to find alignment within ourselves. When we do this, we can see circumstances for what they are: a snapshot of all the energy put out until that time. Completely mutable. Something we can change and effect.
When we go deep within, find alignment energetically, and then look at our world with love, we do so much more than just “stay positive”. We are then able to truly act with the love of the Divine to bring about goodness for All.
There are many ways to find alignment. We all have different variations. You probably know what yours are. If not, explore what makes you feel better and do that. Make time for your ways. Make your alignment a priority. Do what you love.
Seeing the picture of the girl on the burning table and seeing these circumstances in the lives of those around me inspired me towards deeper commitment and greater change this morning. I have been choosing to be the calm center in the chaos of today’s United States, with varying degrees of success. I know my own power (much of the time). I AM inspired to know it more and more. And I AM inspired to help everyone who will listen know their own power more and more.
Your power is within. Your power is in faith, trust, surrender, alignment. Your power is in seeing what is triggering you and allowing your higher self to steer your ship.
If you’re struggling during these times and could use some support, consider an Energy Session. I’m feeling called to serve. If you are really feeling called to work with me, but finances are an issue, ask about my sliding fee scale.
