Are you playing the part of this girl?

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.

 

Energy Update 5/5/16: When will this “stuck feeling” end?

Energy Update 2016_05_05 meme

After sharing with people that many of us feel we are in a holding pattern right now, I was asked when it would end.

If you are feeling a little slowed down or even stuck… It’s ok! All things exist for a reason.
 

I did peep into the upcoming astrology to determine when I feel we will start to see more forward movement. Here is the answer I just gave:

For a timing question, I would look to the astrology. In that arena, there are numerous factors contributing to this feeling of slowdown and sometimes stuckness. And the relief that comes after will likely be gradual. I just slogged through a meeting yesterday with one of the most effective people I know, and we both felt stuck on a number of issues.

The short answer is that I think it will begin to let up some with the new moon Friday, 5/6 at 12:30pm Pacific and gradually pick up speed into June. The rest of the month continues slow with the Taurus energy but probably gets a bit better when Jupiter goes direct on 5/9. Then Mercury direct on 5/22. Mars will be retro until 6/29, but when the other planets start going forward, that will be a little easier to take.

As with all things, it’s a gift. Slowness or even stuckness is not inherently bad when you work with them consciously. My meeting yesterday showed a lot of light on things that felt stuck so we could begin to work on them, little by little.

This is a great time to reconsider our communications and actions. Our work in the world alongside our philosophies and transformations. With the new moon in Taurus this weekend, set intentions related to what you value in all physical, earthy aspects of your life. Self love is also a great focus during this time.

If you are experiencing any money mysteries right now, consider this image from Deepak Chopra.

When devotees would ask his guru, “Where will the money come from for this project?”

His guru replied, “From wherever it is.”

Bless.
