Energy tips for February 2012
If you don't want to read the article, then read this sentence, as I think it sums it all up perfectly: Stop letting your mind dictate your emotions, and start letting your heart express its feelings.
Observe Your ThoughtsBe an extremely keen observer of your thoughts. When you see yourself making up stories, projecting into the future, dwelling on the past, or even just having fake conversations in your head, STOP! Come back to the now. Breathe, and affirm what you know. That you are divinely loved, safe, and all the peace, love and joy that you desire is within.
Share Your LoveFocus on sharing Love. In order to really do this on a meaningful level, however, you must first love yourself completely. Share love with yourself. How many times do you withhold love from yourself by judging, worrying, and replaying those annoying tapes from the past? Stop it! Love yourself. Then it is much easier to radiate that Love out to all you come in contact with. And do, please, radiate that love outward! It does not matter if world is not loving you back fully and completely- it will. But it starts now, with those of us who have the clarity and insight to know that we have the power to change the world through our love!
Get GroundedGet grounded. And then ground some more. I am personally finding the energies to be pretty intense, and I am finding myself picking up on a whole lot of weirdness from the world around me. In order to stay clear in our own energies we have to be grounded. We have to know what our energy feels like, so that when we are around others we can tell the difference between what is ours, and what is another’s (I am referring to energy, thoughts, and any other telepathic stuff we may be receiving). We are all reading each other’s energy at all times, but it’s important to be able to turn it off and to have clear boundaries so that we don’t take on other people’s energy as our own. This is especially important for anyone involved in healing modalities. If you need suggestions for getting grounded, then the easiest ways I know are to just simply breathe and feel a connection to the Earth, and affirm you are grounded. Putting your feet on the floor and envisioning your feet as magnets is great, as is simply sitting on the ground, and physical exercise.
Flow your feelingsLet your feelings flow (but remember- no STORIES! Just feel the feelings). Here’s a little thing I’ve noticed…if you have issues with water, meaning water leaks, water breaks, water drips, etc, then you have feelings that aren’t flowing properly- water is a metaphor for emotions and feelings. Also, just because you may express emotion does not mean that you are properly handling your feelings. Emotions and feelings aren’t the same. Emotions are generally brought on by letting your mind run amok and buying into stories from the ego. Emotions are reaction based . Feelings, on the other hand, are like waves that come and go, and we should not get caught up in them but rather we should let it ride. You may feel sad, angry, joyous, blissful, peaceful, and abundant (to name a few). Is peaceful an emotion? No, it’s a feeling. If you are feeling angry, then feel angry, but don’t express emotional anger (unless you are making a 100% conscious choice to do so and you are responding, not reacting)- feelings are internal things and you don’t need to share your muck with the world. Also, the more you tell your “story” (again, this is egoic and emotional, not feeling based), the more you are actually perpetuating that which you are complaining about. Now, if you want to tell your joyous stories, then go right ahead! You are sharing and creating joy.This goes back to tip #1, which is to be a keen observer. Stop telling your stories and letting your emotions dictate your state of being. Get present in the moment. When you get present and breathe, you automatically stop the mind and you stop telling your story over and over, and then you get into the nitty gritty, which is feeling all of those feelings that have wanted your attention over the years!
Have CompassionBe patient and compassionate with yourself and others. There is a lot of change going on in the world right now. Know that everyone is probably dealing with change and feelings, and maybe even chaos right now. We are all dealing with change, together! So be patient. Consider how you want to be treated (with compassion) and give that gift to others.I would like to share a quote from the movie “Bridesmaids” which is right on point- “I don’t associate with people who blame the world for their problems. Because You are your problem, and you are also your solution”. Go within. Grow the feelings of peace, love and joy, and if feelings of turmoil, confusion, sadness, and anger come up, then just trust that is coming up for you to process and release. Don’t invest in anything other than what you want to create right now. (So if you want to create more confusion and sadness, then go ahead and invest in those thoughts, but I doubt that you do!) Have a great month, and remember to be patient with yourself and others, and Breathe! New! CommentsLet me know what you are thinking, or just say "hi"! |
