WHERE ARE WE NOW AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?
PART II
2020-2024 The Great Detox
Have you ever done a long cleanse or detox diet?
If so, you may remember, that the first three days are usually the hardest.
Around day two or three, you may have hit a wall with all sorts of detox symptoms.
Maybe you didn't want to get out of bed; You may have felt anxious without your usual eating routines;
Maybe you broke out in a rash or had a headache; You may have noticed emotional baggage surfacing.
Many teachers, like Lee Harris, Gregg Braden and Pam Gregory, have been describing this period between 2020 and 2024 as an energetic "purge" or a "cleanse".
If this is the case, then the great news is we're half way through!
And the bad news is...
...we're only half way through and you're likely feeling some of those Day Two detox symptoms.
Don't worry, you'll be ok.
So, if you were waiting for the age of Aquarius to arrive on gilded wings yesterday...
...or if you're feeling disillusioned because peace on earth has not yet arrived...
...take a deep breath and buckle up because there is more cleansing to be done.
Once we wrap our heads around the fact that the outside world might look gnarly for a couple more years, we realize we might need to conserve our energy and make a plan for how to proceed.
Here are five hard-won tips on how to turn challenge into opportunity in this coming year.
Let's get down to work...
#1. When something triggers you, say "thank you".
Part of what we're doing here is learning to see the bigger picture so that we can be more neutral, more loving, and less reactive.
Ultimately, we're learning to understand ourselves and everyone else (good or bad) as a perfect and necessary part of the beautiful whole.
Anywhere we hold judgement toward ourselves or others...
anywhere we don't see our own beauty...
...is going to rear its ugly head offering you the opportunity to see the illusions clearly for what they are.
The things that emotionally trigger us are like arrows, pointing to what we need to resolve within ourselves.
Once we realize this, we can be more efficient about the process.
So when we're feeling triggered by something, ask "what is this this showing me? What is the lesson here? What needs to be resolved within myself?"
As Tony Robbins likes to say, life happens for you not to you.
#2. There's a bigger reason for the polarity.
Does it feel to you like there's a lot of conflict right now? It does for me. Have you taken a strong side on an issue lately? I have.
If you're with me here, notice the temptation to de-humanize or belittle those you disagree with as ignorant, brain-washed, corrupt, or ill-informed.
Instead, is it possibly to give the benefit of the doubt and try to honor or respect the other perspective even if you never come to agree?
Can you at least try to see the love...find the "why" in the other opinion before jumping to blame and anger?
We all see issues differently depending on the perspective we're coming from.
When we understand this, it becomes more difficult to label something as "right" or "wrong".
Matias De Stefano (a living example of neutrality) says that becoming multi-dimensional means being able to see one thing from many different perspectives.
I believe we're all being asked to become more multi-dimensional at this time.
Could this be the reason for the division? Is this an opportunity to practice our multi-dimensionality?
#3. Speaking of Triggers - Been Angry Lately?
A while back, I heard Lori Ladd define anger as sadness wrapped in fear.
I found this immensely helpful.
Its pretty normal that you'd be wrestling with some anger right now. Most of us are frustrated about something.
Anger can be uncomfortable - especially when its directed at those you love most.
So how to deal?
Anger has too much fire in it to stuff down and hide.
While anger is a powerful generating and purging force when we allow it to move through...
...it will shred your energetic system, (and your relationships), if you allow yourself to stay in it too long.
If you're stuck in anger and unable to move it, its important to recognize that anger is, what psychologists call, a secondary emotion.
Allowing yourself to feel what's underneath the anger can be really freeing.
Rather than trying to talk yourself out of anger, ask yourself first,
"what am I sad about here?".
You might be surprised at the answer.
Notice where you feel it in your body.
