So, how many of you, out there like me, have been riding the roller coaster of your emotions these days? Times are changing and they are changing quickly. For those of us sensitive to energy shifts, these past couple of weeks have been incredibly powerful, as well, as challenging. Personally, I feel like a yo-yo. One minute, I’m up and the next minute I am down. So, how do we, navigate through the rough waters of emotional ups and downs? How do we nurture and care for ourselves, when we are experiencing waves of uncomfortable emotions?
What we should learn to do, although sometimes easier said than done, is to honour and accept ourselves and our emotions exactly as they are. Without trying to control or change them. Tune into them and ask yourself, what can I learn from this feeling? How can this feeling help me to advance and grow spiritually? Is this a recurring feeling / emotion? If it is, maybe it is time to put pen to paper and write about what is going on. Ignoring or disowning our emotions only creates discomfort and DIS-EASE in our physical bodies.
Through body work and meditation we can learn to tap into the inner wisdom of our true self, our soul. The very essence of who we are and the lessons we are here to learn. By connecting with our breath we allow ourselves an opportunity for growth. For change. For most of us, change can be incredibly frightening and uncomfortable. Most of us, are aware, though that on the other side of change is a life better then we could have previously imagined. The only way to get to the other side is to move through the fear and trust that you will be o.k. YOU ARE O.K.
We are all perfect children of GOD, or if you prefer the UNIVERSE. As children of God we are all perfect and worthy of love and happiness. For some of us though this is a most difficult lesson to learn. We feel down and yet, when those around us try to offer us love and support we often get defensive or assure our family and friends that we are indeed o.k. Why do we do this? Why do we not accept the love and support that is very often freely given? My answer to that is EGO. Edging, God, Out! We all wear masks and lots of us have been wearing our masks for so long that we no longer recognize, that which we wear. I have always been viewed by people around me as someone who is strong and courageous. Although, I do, indeed have such qualities, I am also someone who struggles to present her true self at all times to those around me. I am not only strong, brave and courageous, I am soft, gentle, compassionate and loving and these days scared. Not many people around me would be aware of that because I wouldn’t let them know. Do I fear that they might find out that I am human? Do I fear that they might think I am weak?
True strength is being able to be real in all situations, without fear of being judged or of the opinions of others. True strength is accepting that I am not strong all the time. Sometimes…especially these days, I just want to cry. I just want to be held in the arms of someone who loves me and let it all out. To trust that those who love me and whom I love in return, are going accept me just as I am. If I want those who know and love me to accept me just as I am, maybe it is time that I, accept me, exactly as I am, in this moment, on this roller coaster ride of emotions….A PERFECT CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE. A spiritual being, having a very human experience.
We are all being supported by seen and unseen forces. This is a very powerful and pivotal time on our planet. So many of us on the spiritual path are meeting obstacles right now. Lots of us are having health issues. Varied and extreme sensations in our bodies. We are being lead to new and higher levels of awareness. Not just as and individual but also collectively. Trust the process. Trust the wisdom of your bodies and especially the wisdom of that big beautiful muscle beating inside of your chest. Our hearts know the way. We just have to follow the wisdom that is being shown, through various methods, our emotions, being one of them that we are on the right path. We are o.k. We are good enough and most importantly we DESERVE love.
So here are some of the things that I like to do when I am presented with emotional ups and downs. Obviously, writing is important to me so I am always journaling. Although, interestingly enough, I haven’t been doing much in the last couple of weeks….hmmm. Interesting!! I meditate and just be still. Allowing thoughts to come and go as they will. Without criticism or judgement. Hot baths with epsom salts is a favorite of mine. They help me relax and the epsom salts help to clear any energy that is of a low vibration. I also like to call on Archangel Michael for LOVE, STRENGTH, COURAGE and PROTECTION and Archangel Raphael for HEALING, KNOWLEDGE and TRUTH. Rest. Rest. Rest. Allow yourself the time to tune in and really ask your body what it needs you to do, to support yourself at this time. Lastly, GRATITUDE. Gratitude that you are able to experience such intense emotions and feeling as they are your guide posts to lead you home. Beacons in the dark if you like that when honoured will lead you home. Home to your HEART. YOUR SOUL.
We are all in this together and the better able we are to nurture, care and in turn heal ourselves the more brightly our LIGHT and LOVE will shine outwardly to affect the world around us. Our mission is to heal the world within us so that we may better SERVE.
I have been taught that LOVE IS AN ACTION, not and EMOTION. So SERVICE IS LOVE IN ACTION.
Thank you all so much for being a part of my life and allowing me the honour of being a small part of yours. Namaste.
