Courage in a Fearful World

Steady as she goes, my darlings, my fellow travelers through this vale of tears and fears and chaotic energies. 

If you’re paying attention to the world right now, it seems as if all hell is breaking loose and it is very easy to feel overwhelmed by it and to wonder if we really can and will make it through to peace and love and joy.

We will.

And we will because of all of those on this planet who, like you and I, access the love that is there in our hearts and using breath and intention radiate and broadcast that love out into our own bodies and into the world.

If you are feeling fairly detached and able to help, you can do so by going into your heart, accessing the love that is always there, always present, always available, and sending it with your breath through your entire being, your body, your mind, your emotional being, your energy. Let every part of you be washed in a wave of unconditional love. As you do this, you radiate love and light to all the world.

If you are feeling emotionally triggered by something that is going on around you, take a breath, go into your heart – that is where we find all the answers now – and access that love. From there, just be with whatever it is you are feeling. Breathe with it. Acknowledge it. Just be with it and be at peace with it. Don’t resist it or try to make it go away. It will clear out very quickly. Almost as soon as you face it fully, it will clear out as you breathe with it.

Throughout these turbulent times, these days of noise and fear and uncertainty, go into your heart and choose what it is that you would like to experience as your being. Know that as you choose, you choose not just for yourself, but for the world. For as you fill yourself with – for example – the feeling of gratitude, you send that out into the world as well. Choose your frequency. Choose what it is you would like to be and to experience as your being. Perhaps it is peace. Perhaps it is gratitude or joy or love for all of humanity. Perhaps it is hope and faith.

If you feel that you cannot choose because you are too upset or too worried realize that you are being emotionally triggered and let yourself feel it.

It’s all in our hearts now, my friends. If you would like to close your eyes and listen to this message rather than reading it, click here for a youtube offering

Wanting

Yesterday, taken with the idea of living somewhere else – brought on by my husband’s expressions of dissatisfaction which have since tapered off – I started looking at tiny houses and was on a tear – a mental body frenzy – of “I like” and “I want” and “maybe this.” I got out the graph paper, pencil and eraser and started drawing, dreaming and scheming. My sleep was so compromised, so light and troubled. I woke more exhausted than when I went to bed. My energy was and still is all frenetic. Not liking it at all, I struggled to free myself from it. 

I realized that I ran the frequency of wanting, of what if… I could have… and I can literally feel the frequency of wanting in me. 

We create, in a snowball to avalanche way, so quickly now. I can understand someone becoming consumed with want, fear, jealousy, resentment… or riding a sweet wave – as I usually do – of peace, well-being, calm, acceptance, compassion, unconditional love, gratitude, joy and feeling blessed. Phew! 

I finally identified the frequency I was actually holding and sent compassion to that part of myself that wants… wants anything, because wanting anything will take you into more and more wanting. Then I rose yawning from my tangled bed clothes to face a long day, dressed and went out into the cool August dawn.

I realize too that as I was designing this new home and new life for myself, I took myself completely out of being present here, now, in this life. Walking, I intentionally called myself into this time, this place. Berry picking completed the cure. 

Tired, but a bit wiser, I go on now with my day.
