There is nothing more sobering than reality striking.
While thoughts and emotions are exhausting and haunting, the physical challenges really bring us down to Earth. Many are in warzones. Bombs dropping, shots firing. Lack of water, shelter, electricity, and food. These are the experiences that cause us to take stock in what we face, what we have, and what we need.
The unexpected and devastating flooding in the American Southeast is just one tragic example of the state of the world. The economic shifts over the past decade plus have put innumerable people in a similar situation. I take nothing away from the struggles and losses due to weather events, but people are drowning from lack of access to resources.
There was a time, in 2020 and 2021, when people were advised to avoid intimate connections. Asked to stay at home, away from work, away from church, away from friends and family. At the same time, people lost their sense of purpose, income, and ability to explore their world.
I make no assertions politically or opinion on these situations, but my point is this…
We are going through the dire straits. In other words, ‘a difficult situation that is very challenging to fix’. The world is facing challenges that are seemingly ‘biblical’ in nature.
Of course the geo political landscape would be rife with chaos. As, in the end, is it not just symbolic of the larger collective themes. We are awash. Literally in the wash.
Consider a hurricane… a spinning vortex of wind and water. Tragically, there are people, animals, and prized possessions in their path. On their own, a storm system like a hurricane is a cleansing agent. Those of you who practice Reiki or other forms of energy healing understand the idea of the spiraling vortex. Counter clockwise to draw something out. Clockwise to implant or deliver energy.
Water is cleansing and moving air (wind) has a way of loosening everything and helping it move.
I digress…
Feeling Everyone
When one suffers, we all suffer, whether we acknowledge it or not.
As more and more people on the planet experience catastrophic changes, we all go through the processing. Maybe these people are close to you, friends and family members. This will add to the intensity, attachment, and involvement. Regardless, the suffering of a new born in a small mountain town across the sea still plugs into the same collective field of consciousness.
It is so much to bare. Some are more tuned into the collective field. For better or worse, that is just how our bodies instrumentation has been tuned. For those of you in this group (empaths, intuitives, healers, however you identify) these times are confusing, dramatic, and full of ups and downs.
*** all humans are intuitive, empathic, and healers. Some people, however, are specifically attuned to these aspects of being alive. In the same way that everyone can run, we aren’t all Usian Bolt. ***
In times like these, you may have to take time alone, shelter, and go inside. The curse of the highly sensitive person is feeling all that is not your identity (the pain, the strife, the suffering). The blessing, however, is to be in touch with the energies that overlight you. To have a stronger connection to the unseen. Call it angels, higher self, guides, ascended masters, God… it really doesn’t matter what you call it.
Empathing in a Nutshell
To be connected to higher beings, there must be skills to sense the unseen.
Those who can intuit a negative thing can also intuit a glorious and positive experience.
Those who can speak to the dead can also speak to the guiding lights who are not currently embodied.
Your antennae are up and out, they are picking up on frequencies. It is your job to manage this instrumentation wisely. Tune into that which you seek and desire. If you feel victimized by the pain and suffering of animals, people, and the world at large, it is your job to tune into hope, faith, and something that enriches your experience.
Ideally, you use your dial to tune into the solution set to the problems that cause your woes.
Where there is hatred, let me so love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
Just remember, that your gifts are only curses so far as you allow them to be.
Spirit Balances the Physical
We are being drawn towards the higher realms. The pull into the depths of destruction and despair seeks some semblance of balance. This CAN be found here on Earth, in the physical. Sometimes, however, it cannot be found here. Thus, the only balance comes from the etheric, the ephemeral, the spiritual. Imagine being in the waiting room at the doctors office, alone in your gown. No snacks, no phone, no book, no magazine, just you and your mind. What begins to happen?
We begin to imagine, to dream, to drift into ideas and experiences that are completely non physical. Perhaps we meditate and tune into our inner riches. In this simple example, we find the balance of our physical lack in something outside of our physical experience.
Keep human beings in a state of lack long enough, and you will see the richness of the human spirit come to the surface. It is in the most challenging of circumstances that I have seen the greatest light emanate through my body and spirit.
Solar Flares
The activity is the sun is the activity of life. The sun is the generator of the energy here on Earth. Without the sun, there are no plants, there is no energy.
In the last few weeks, the Sun is undergoing it’s own transformation. Ejecting massive amounts of plasma and energy in to the solar system. Two of the strongest ejections on record occurred within the last week.
When I first learned of Solar Storms, CME’s, and solar flares I saw them as enigmatic, spiritual and almost hypothetical experiences. Since then, I have learned that they are just as real as a heat wave or a lightning bolt. They are part of the weather. In the same way that an oncoming rainstorm can cause pain in your joints, a solar storm can wreak havoc on many systems within your body.
Tips on Getting Through
This discharging solar energy will cause a ‘Tower Card’ experience for the collective and also for your personally. This is combining with the always helpful eclipse. Here are some insights gleaned from the current energy…
- Don’t go back… whatever it is, from the past, if it’s popping back up and seeking to draw you in, it’s not going to work out. This energy, mostly in the form of interpersonal relations, is bringing you a delivery. Get the package, and leave. There is a better form of that connection coming to you in the next 6 months. Do your best to not compromise on your needs or boundaries.
- Make peace and let go… the attaching energy may be strong. The desire to DO, to CONTROL (let’s be honest ‘to MANIPULATE’) is very powerful. This is an unconscious response to a lack of personal grounding. Wherever we see the desire to make things OUR WAY, accept it how it is and move on. Don’t sign up for improvement projects with others, do your own thing. Forgiveness is about owning your part and forgiving yourself for it.
- Connect deeply to self… this means welcoming in the most uncomfortable of all feelings. Allow yourself to be sad, angry, confused, doubtful, and even insecure. Remember that your ability to feel your feelings is PROOF that you are NOT your feelings. They are here to inform you, to enrich you, to cleanse you. Don’t allow them to ferment and fester. Take time each day to just sit and feel. If this is challenging, start with journaling and some movement before sitting. As you sit, allow yourself to sink into the uncomfortable places within yourself. Observe all of this, and be grateful for the process. After a few minutes of feeling things, you’ll recover back into yourself. If you run when you are uncomfortable, you’ll be hit hard when it catches you.
- Keep good company... if someone feels off and out of control, perhaps you should not be around them. This isn’t a time to be overloading yourself with the energy of others. Remember that with these solar shifts, many are being brought down into their depths. That journey may feel disorienting for them and also those close to them. As someone who desires to help, you may feel inclined to get involved and offer solutions. THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY NEED. What they need is to dive into themselves. This can look ugly. If you are someone that feels inclined to help everyone in need, do your best to be around others who can handle their situations. You can always take time to go and help someone (when they’ve requested it). Remember that the journey into the shadow of self is just the first step in a return to light.
- Focus on gratitude and daily tasks… lists are always helpful, even for very basic things. Two lists are essential to my every day. One of them is a TO DO list. Nothing is too simple, I put everything on my list. Cleaning dishes, putting away laundry, making myself lunch. The reason I do this is to keep my thoughts, intentions, and actions aligned. It is a way of staying on the straight and narrow. In this way, I use the lists to keep myself organized and focused. My second list is a gratitude list. Whether I add to it throughout the day or do it once in the morning or night. Whenever you notice someone else in lack, notice how grateful you are to be abundant and taken care of. Writing it down is a way of cementing that gratitude and prayer. This practice is a vital form of self love.
Be Well within Yourself
Whatever you choose during this time, please try to keep in mind the highly transformative energy surrounding us. There is a desire to GRAB for your attention and energy coming from every angle. If you want to give it away, then go for it. Some ventures are worth your time, your investment, and your precious creative energy. What we make of our life is up to us. Some circumstances we have zero control over. Do your best to let these things go. At the end of the day, you will feel fulfilled if you focus locally, and do so with love. Good being surround you, give them the gratitude they deserve.
