Surviving the Shift

We are all feeling it. You can ignore it, you can make excuses for it or you can acknowledge it. Whatever you choose to do, it is happening. The Earth is being bombarded with energy. Things are changing, consciousness is shifting. Call me a right-wing nut if you like (or left-wing, I can never remember which is which). Even scientists will tell you that the Earth is being bombarded with cosmic energy. Solar flares from the sun, etc. So what? It’s all invisible, how could that possibly affect us? We interact with energy from the sun in many ways; as heat, as light, plants use the sun’s energy as food. Watch the news and you will see people losing their minds, going crazy. They don’t know what’s going on but they feel the chaos. People are angry. They are shooting people, robbing banks, hurting others and themselves. I hear what they are saying. They are saying, “ I don’t know what to do anymore!”, “What’s happening?!”, “ I feel out of control and I can’t take it any more!”. There is a feeling of chaotic energy around. I am an empath which means that I can pick up on the energy of other people. I feel the fear. I feel the chaos. I feel the feeling of being out of control, from others and myself.

Nature

I think I have found a solution (well, at least in part). I will be the first to admit that I don’t have all the answers. I haven’t peeked at the back of the book. But, from what I hear from friends, what I see watching the news, and what I feel myself is that…… we need to hold on. Sounds like an impossibly simple answer to something so huge. Yes, I agree. But keep reading, I hope this helps. I mean that sincerely. We have all heard the phrase, “Hang on, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.” Well, that’s what I mean. Imagine we are all on a rollercoaster. You can act brave and throw your hands in the air. You aren’t afraid. That’s great, that’s fun. But, you are also strapped in with a seatbelt or large, stiff bar that keeps you from falling to your death, right? You wouldn’t be letting go if you weren’t. So, let’s strap ourselves in so, instead of screaming like a little girl (no offence to little girls), we can feel secure in throwing our hands in the air because we know that we are safe. We can ride this ride and experience one of the most amazing times in human history!  (I know you feel it!)

Here is the key, the secret, the answer to the million dollar question. We need to stay grounded. Yes, grounded. Again, imagine the Earth is on a wild rollercoaster ride. Now, imagine being in the front row and feeling safe enough to throw your hands in the air. You only do that because you feel secure. That’s how you enjoy the ride. If you felt you would truly, realistically fall out as it turned upside down, how would you feel??  That’s how so many feel right now. Let’s put our seatbelts on.

How does one become ‘grounded’?  Well, that can be different for everyone. Here are some ideas:

• Meditate – sit somewhere, close your eyes and breathe deeply… clear your mind. It just takes a few minutes; you’ll be amazed at how relaxed you feel afterward.
• Take a walk- sounds simple, I know. But, being in nature is incredibly soothing and grounding.
• Sit under a tree on a sunny day- feel the breeze on your cheeks
• Help someone else- doesn’t it feel good to help others?
• Hold rocks- whether it’s a rock from a recent vacation spot or a tumbled gemstone, like amethyst, rocks and crystals come from the Earth and have healing /grounding properties

Let’s be grounded and enjoy the ride.
