Wow, what a ride, eh? How are you handling all the energy and change? Well, we are showing up and engaging with what has needed (or demanded) our attention. Excellence not perfection. All we can do is our best, and if we do our best that is enough!
Exhausted? Maybe, yeah. Yes, and isn’t that understandable? Give yourself major credit for what has been experienced and the courage, tenacity, and commitment it has required! Whew! Amen…
Now, we can pause, reflect, and integrate refinements from our experiences to apply going forward. Things will continue to ramp up energetically in August so we will want to calibrate our expectations and energies accordingly. Adopting ways and methods of taking frequent even short pauses will help reset our nervous system and support our long game. Using an app on your phone or laptop that you can set up to notify you when it’s “time to pause” can be so supportive. (I use Triple Flame Timer for free.) Parking farther away when shopping gives me much more time to decompress before merging with the other busy shoppers. Or taking a pause at transitions; like when I get into the car before driving, when I’m ready to leave the house before leaving, or any other transition that pops into your mind. I even take a few moments between tasks at work to reduce anxiety that may have crept up without my awareness.
“Complexity equals anxiety. Simplicity equals serenity.” –Triple Flame Timer
I read somewhere recently or maybe it was Bashar; that enlightenment happens regardless of spiritual or religious practices. When we are in a relaxed receptive mode, we can receive guidance and inspiration from Source, God, the Cosmos, and so on. We are one with this great consciousness, and often can forget and become disconnected from it. (“It doesn’t matter how long you have forgotten, only how soon you remember.” – Lyndsey Scott) For me, this is simple and profound. It’s also not how I was raised or how I experience mainstream society. So, it’s up to me to implement the practices I choose for myself.
As easy as this sounds, it comes with a disclaimer. Think of it this way; when there is clarity, be it mental, physical or emotional – there is distinction. Where there is lack of clarity, the lack of detail minimizes friction or difference of opinion. This leads us to our next opportunity for expansion; harmony. Harmony is the collaboration of different notes arranged to compliment one another. (The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.) We may shift and grow at a different tempo than another, a loved one, family member or friend. As we remember ourselves, stay in integrity with our intuition and guidance, we can learn to also respect and allow for the other to be at their own pace. Finding the open space of neutrality; to live and let live, is a powerful skill of peace. And by practicing this allowance for Life to flow at it’s pace rather than our preference; we set down the tools of war we were given to carry. The black vs white, right vs wrong, good vs bad, way of seeing life from a very limited perspective. And instead, carry the perspective of multidimensionality. That is ever more accurate here and now.
As we grow and learn to accept ourselves and others, we may experience transformations in many aspects of our lives that bring a sense of loss or grief. Know that when this happens, it is NOT a reason to believe something is wrong. There is a temptation to tell ourselves we did something or said something wrong because another is upset with us and having a really hard time, or is telling us their perspective of how we are wrong.
To believe that our wellness is wrong, would be out of alignment with Source, God, Love, the Cosmos; to see things in this manner. However, it is again understandable that we are carrying around perceptions and beliefs, patterns that we were given. We can in our relaxed clarity notice and recognize these patterns for what they are. Cultivate compassion and hesitate to react too quickly. If there is upset, let it be and have a cup of tea! Use the time to check in with your guides and teachers; physical or nonphysical. Let this be your newer, new normal.
When traveling a long journey, you want to start with a full tank of fuel and make time to refuel whenever possible! With your new found clarity you will attract and recognize those with whom you are aligned and easily things will fall into place that are part of where you are traveling now! Your Soul is calling you forward to the places you are meant to go in this lifetime! It’s time to trust the process, listen often and intentionally, and let Life carry you faster and more easily than your mind can keep up with! Great! Let’s enjoy the ride together…
