The Rise of Kindness

As the familiar patterns of our world began to fall away, the first reaction is commonly fear. Our daily routines are now gone. Worries about whether our favorite foods will be on the shelves, or if we will bring a virus home to our families come forefront. How to juggle children, pets, work from home, getting food and supplies, all while staying within 6 feet of anything that might carry disease. Quietly, a new awareness is evolving within us. With that space between us, we are tending to look at one another and hope them well. We hope they and their loved ones will stay healthy. Our own health depends on it.

For the first time in history, there are no wars on the planet. Our whole planet must work together to hack a common threat. While all this is going on, the Earth is healing. She is sending out vibrations of peace all around. She has a fully online system to suck in darkness and negativity, then nullifies it. The anger and frustration that was raging just weeks ago is subsiding and we are finally able to heal from the inside out. Empaths are finally getting a break from the bombardment of turbulent emotions around them. The BIG picture view is that our world is changing.

New Year’s Day I had the message that this year we would be supported by new energy. I knew something was coming that would spark big change, but I had no idea this would be it. If you observe around you, you will see that parents are now home spending more quality time with their children. Priorities have shifted, so we are appreciating what we have and make do with less extraneous stuff. People are grateful for those still servicing their local communities in the areas of health and caregiving, warehouse workers managing distribution of essentials (like food,) emergency response, postal and package delivery, trash collection, and those that keep our energy, water, TV & internet services running. Real gratitude is coming to the forefront of people’s minds.

People are sitting out on their porches and waving hello, feeling glad others are still in good health. They are getting out into the fresh air soaking up sunlight and walking. They are spending more time with their pets. Pets are getting more exercise. Real food is being cooked at home, a whole lot healthier for mind and body. Better choices are being made because our choices are becoming limited. People are slowing down and getting more out of each moment. They are beginning to not miss all the distraction, all that mindless other stuff.

We have been prepared for this. Even if you doubt this, let me suggest that our consciousness has been hard at work crafting this process during our dreamtime. I have come out of sleep catching myself attending classes and giving lectures on some astral plane, somewhere. We are so much more than we realize, and there is so much more going on than what the news reports.

The best way to help hasten our ascension process is to stay out of fear. Use your Goto’s to lift out of fear and frustration and reclaim your calm (see post, “This is The Great Awakening.”) It’s good to be aware of what is happening in the news, but we don’t have to immerse ourselves in it. Staying grounded in our own selves, as unaffected by the chaos as possible. Focusing on taking in as much of the new energy coming in through the Sun and from the Earth as we can, undeterred by the distractions. Use the breath to help the body during intense energy waves. Just as if we were giving birth, which we are. Our priority is to take in the new energy, staying grounded to the Earth, while adjusting, recalibrating and releasing the old energy that no longer serves us. We are taking in the new and getting rid of the old, right inside our physical bodies. As the new codes activate, our consciousness expands. This is our primary job right now.

As we refuse to let fear take over, kindness will continue to rise in our world. No matter what truths arise after this pandemic, we will care more about ourselves and our neighbors because of what we are all going through now, together.

Do not fear… trust the Divine plan.

Anxiety and Control

Looking at the world through goggles, made to give us the feeling of being in control of our lives, we may experience anxiety from our perception of a loss of control. Each of us has a different comfort level when it comes to feeling in control of our lives. Control issues may have their roots in childhood, a time when we did not have control of many aspects of life. We may have experienced pain, shame and guilt and vowed to never let that happen again. So we grew up trying to keep things controlled. Control gave us the illusion of safety. It allowed our sense of survival to stay in check. The only trouble is that everyone has free will, and when we are confronted with a situation that is out of our control, we can become fearful and anxiety kicks in.

Anxiety is real to the person experiencing it. It’s like trying to drive with a backseat driver. It can disorient the whole body. In order to heal, we must acknowledge our fear and anxiety, that in experiencing it, we are able to be our true nature, which is love, by understanding its opposite. We need to sit with it, and be with it, and remind ourselves that we all have free will, and we don’t have to go, see or be anything that causes us to be anxious. If we sit back and go with the flow of our life, and let things be, because everything works out the way it is supposed to.

To someone who can see or sense energy, anxiety looks like muddy water. If we do not chill and clear it and work to understand it, all that energy can build up and manifest physical symptoms in the body. Here are some tools…

Meditate- Put on some music, lay down, stare at the ceiling and just breathe and be.
Epsom Salt bath– The salts cleanse and pull out the dirty muddy gunk clogging our energy and the magnesium is beneficial for restoring tissues and speeding healing, and has a relaxation effect.
Set Boundaries– Setting healthy boundaries may be the lesson that anxiety is trying to teach us.
Take a walk or exercise– Exercise decreases stress hormones and releases pro-relaxation and mood brain chemicals.
Journal– Instead of unloading on another person, write it out in a personal journal. This can aid in self-examination to understand the fear and anxiety.
Drink more water– Dehydration can make anxiety symptoms worse.
Desensitization– If our lesson is that we need to overcome our fear of something, then taking methodical steps to adapt to the whatever it is that makes us fearful.

Being a Reiki Master, my experience working with energy has taught me an expanded understanding of anxiety on a level that may seem esoteric, but believe it or not, is now affecting our every day life.

Anxiety is also a byproduct of the spiritual ascension process. When Emotional issues within us need to be healed and purged, the heavy and dense energy from unhealed pain and emotional wounding can cause us to react when exposed to Earth’s ascending vibrational energy waves or being near a higher vibration person. A person carrying a higher vibrational light energy, or lightworker, can trigger a rise in anxiety until reaching a tipping point for the release of deep buried emotional energy. We may or may not be aware of these issues, but they are being brought to the surface for a reason, in the form of increasing anxiety.

Scientists and our news media may not be spreading the news that something very special is happening to us here on Earth. As the Earth ascends into a higher vibrational energy, higher vibrational light will illuminate what has been hidden in the dark. We can notice that the light from our sun looks slightly different. It seems whiter rather than yellow. As we move forward toward the new and improved Earth, these changes seem new, but something inside us whispers that it has always existed. It’s just easier now. We can trust our intuition more, recognizing that God is within. We will find that life flows more easily, find that things just seem to automatically get better. Less effort is needed. We will find ourselves smiling more. There will be more energy in the body. We will have more beautiful relationships.

It is time that we claim our ability to design and direct our lives. We need to clear old patterns, release emotional issues, and live mindfully in the now moment, every moment. Time to take our lives off autopilot and wake up to the expanded multidimensional world that is materializing in front of our eyes. Anxiety can be telling us to trust our personal evolution process. Support is just a breath away. We only need to invite the help from our Guides, Teachers and Angels. Invite the help from the Divine Source into our life.
