I’ve been thinking of the phrase analysis paralysis. At this turning point in human history it might be wise to not deconstruct our lives. Instead, let’s feel our feelings and release them and as Ram Dass says, “be here now.”
A few political/global leaders are playing out their role as Gollum on the world stage. Words and actions from their lizard brains are catapulted into the world daily and we are affected. Our inner critics react and may rear their ugly heads. Actions, gratitude and affirmations based in self-love disempower the critic.
The old ways of hustling that worked so well in the 90’s and were blown out of the water by 911 may no longer create the results that we used to see. So, what do we do now that we no longer see the effects of our efforts? One idea is that we continue to take one step at a time to manifest the things we want and let go of how or when those things will come to fruition.
There are some tools that I learned early on that may lighten your load. Try some if you are drawn to them.
Go to the inner child and see how she/he is doing and really listen. This inner language of communication may be silent, verbal or symbolic. Find the one that brings you the most comfort. After you talk with the kid promise to make any adjustments to keep her feeling loved and really do them. Visualize a beam of light coming from the heavens to the center of the earth and through your body. Staying “on the beam” is critical.
Next, place the child in your heart so she/he is protected. As you communicate honestly in the world, your sense of power and serenity will flood your being. Around your heart create a corral and inside the fenced in area is a garden. Only you can open the gate. Place your child and your higher power in that contained space. The best part of this exercise is we stop looking for outside approval because we are nurturing ourselves.
A force of anti-love is moving across the globe. The way that force captures prey is when we are disconnected with our identity. When we are out of alignment, we are easy targets for abusers and gravitate to toxic information. This is not dissimilar to classic cult programming techniques. By aligning with our Higher Power, we change that station from fear to love.
I keep thinking of the horse blinder analogy that got me through the early years. This is so helpful in staying out of what someone else is doing with their lives and how that reflects on or determines the meaning of our lives. The yogic technique of opening the crown chakra and letting the light flow into our bodies keeps us centered in ourselves.
The last technique is seeing your higher power lovingly standing in front of you 24 hours a day. From this visualization a sense of ease arises, and you may hear the still small voice of your higher self-more easily.
Remember if you are healing, there is an army of people across the globe doing it with you. All we have to do is to commit to weekly places where we can be refueled. These sessions may include meditation classes, meetings, therapy, treats or a nap.
After using some of these tools or ones that you create, the Desiderata poem comes to mind. “Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what true peace there may be found in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.”
Remember you are safe. All good things that are yours come into your life. Just put yourself and those you love in white light.
You are the authority figure in your own life. You know best. This is a time to go beyond where you have been. It’s a time of miracles. Love always defeats the lie and remember, it’s darkest before the dawn.
