I get it!
Even if you’re not an HSP and empath, you’ll pick up all kinds of energies in these troubled times.
You might experience them as headaches or gut-aches or minor injuries or in whatever way you manifest what’s going on out there in the collective…
If we just look at the political arena, you don’t have to go far to understand why.
In Ireland, the Taoiseach has called for an election after only a few months in office. The new UK government is disappointing many who call themselves socialists, including me.
And in America?
Well, you’d have to be stranded on a desert island without any form of communication not to know what’s going on in America!
There’s the rise of the right across Europe, Ukraine fighting for its life, and the Middle East leaves me without words and heartbreak upon heartbreak.
How could we freakin’ not be affected by what’s going on in the collective?
How could some of us not freakin’ feel unsettled or downright anxious?
Indeed, my American clients initially went into a spin. Existential survival fears writ large and a logical mind blowing up about how the “bad” guys could have won.
Like it never happens!
So, if any of the above is happening to you or someone you know, don’t try to make it better.
Yes, it’s likely historical experiences are being triggered, and you’d do well to journal, do intra-psychic reparative work with the parts of you in terror or distress, and use grounding techniques for your breathing and in all things.
BUT…
Do not freakin’ meditate!
It will only make you more “airy” and, in this case, would be a blatant act of spiritual bypassing.
These are experiences to be lived through for your personal and spiritual growth, however uncomfortable they might be!
AND…
When looking for something culturally specific to support my American clients, I came across this article and short video by Marianne Williamson, both of which have different content.
Hallelujah!
Because…
What she’s saying can apply to such times, whatever their context, for the whole of humanity over all time!
Read, listen, and know that while there are people of principle, heart, and right action, there is always hope.
Always but always, there is hope, woman!
Love and wild, warm wishes…
