Energy Update Dismissed & Unheard

The energy theme two weeks ago was about being dismissed and unheard, I am writing about it now because I dismissed it! I feel it is an important topic and like when I read, it almost won’t allow me to come up with another topic until I share this one. While this energy was arcing I listened to an interview of John Gray by Donna Eden. In this interview John Gray states women are 4 times more stressed in their home than men and 2 times more stressed than men in the workplace. John goes on to share women create oxytocin via estrogen and in a study women were found to create healthy levels of oxytocin when they felt they were heard. Now you know I am going to kick all women in the pants, right? We need to be heard. Being heard comes from us. I am not going to push at “are we hearing others” but instead lets do this one from the opposite angle. When you are seeing a situation unfold and you need to respond to? Use those “I feel statements” because nobody can trump your feelings, they are yours. Secondly, at the end of a conversation make a statement confirming what you desire. “I desire to see this position get filled by somebody who is hungry to work over experience.” “I desire to have my Saturday free, may we meet on Sunday?” Ha, in the middle of this article I broke off and wrote next week’s article! It’s a doooooozy! Claim your space, voice and desires. There is confusion afoot but do the best you can. The confusion is purposeful right now although it stinks. Read next week’s post to learn more about the confusion.

Energy Update "Standing Up"

This is not a newspaper article so I am not looking in this post to convey facts. I am only working with a little tidbit of information I heard. Maybe you’ve heard the Archdiocese in St Paul went bankrupt? I heard only a small snippet about it a few weeks ago but there was mention that people can submit their sexual assault claims to the church until April or May.....WHAT? The archbishop over the years has shared his narrow views of others choices, including being gay. Now there are allegations that he has had gay relations. Do you see he is appearing to resist indeed what he himself has been doing? It’s him in the mirror. Is there another way? You all know me! Of course there is. If the archbishop could be honest and love himself, he’d naturally love others. He is in a powerful position to make the change. He could change Catholicism in MN forever by standing up and claiming what is true. He could choose to be unafraid, and trust working with the church through love and allowing but instead he squandered his power. Think of the countless people who have felt damned for being who they are or for their choices, based on what the church judges is right or wrong. He has a choice to change this. Will he step up to the challenge of love? We must each of us take OUR opportunity to expand and bring forward our own truths. If we carry peace in us, others will be inspired to do the same! "

Fear, where did it get you?

For many years I deliberated, held myself back and didn't know who I really was. I went through some difficult times, many years of it in fact. The struggle has impacted my art. Perhaps for shame and fear, I pushed through because what is life without passion? I am currently working on Peace Is Abundant (PIA) which is a teacher, mentor and friend all wrapped in one. It's allowed a platform to express quickly and be prolific with reason. I am an intuitive person, which to me means I am able to see connections in everything around me. Sometimes this ability makes me appear smart or wise because I can see what others cannot. I've found I'm creating Peace Is Abundant in 50 increment blocks. Then in between I am creating vastly different art to Peace Is Abundant. This past fall I see a change in me, a harkening back to a style or expression I worked with in the mid 1990's. Some of us are slow learners! If that's you too my friend, huzzah to us both, if we pick up where we left off. Leaving the past in the past and allowing the future to be the future.

It's me in the mirror

Are people bugging you? Infuriating you? Tune into how you feel when somebody says something to you-good or bad. Take a good sharp look at it because if it is off putting? It means it’s in YOU, in your shadow. While this is not a new concept to my readers, it still is no fun to claim. Why do we want to recognize this? Because the energy right now is about dispelling judgment, cracking open the very essence that is judgment and allowing us to see our role in how we perpetuated judgment. We play one of three roles; the role of the perpetrator (judging others by projecting what we reject about ourselves onto them), the rescuer (trying to care take or insulate the judged, seeing them as incapable of holding their own power) or the power role of the victim (perpetuates the story “they aren’t enough” in order to get others to respond/react). One way to sharpen this skill in yourself and be empowered is to actively be aware of how many excuses you make for yourself (victim). Watch what you say, feel and think about others. You don’t know their situation. (Perpetrator). Where do you want to swoop in to protect others? If what you heard somebody say to another hurts you, it’s yours. Instead staying out of it is a better idea. (rescuer). Compassion to each of you for what you might see in yourselves this week and compassion to me for being willing to do this work also.

Energy Update Mini Self Actualization

If we turn our awareness to our self, what is it that we need to achieve our goals in life? Do the current relationships we hold support these goals? Do we know our goals and if we do not, can we ask ourselves gently to have our spirit reveal to us what we want in life in the coming months, in the coming years? Right now is about an inner journey. We are ultimately self-actualizing. Those of you who are feeling the energy storm are being asked to shift into this actualization. If people are creating situations with resistance what are they mirroring for you? If you can see this you will see where to shift your energy. I think based on the intensity of this work we are not all going through it at the same time. I feel it will come in waves to flesh out the shifting patterns we most resist. Allowing, non-attachment and trusting the process supports our belief in abundance. The perception of abundance is a huge key to our flow over these winter months.

Energy Update "What in the name of all that's good and holy is going on?

“What in the name of all that’s good and holy is going on? I hate to end a sentence in a preposition but in times like this there just is no choice! Ok, hold onto your hats and lets first embrace the gold. The gold of right now is there are small miracles happening right before your eyes. If you look, listen and watch you will see this. You will see zero point manifestation (instantaneous) in action all around you. These manifestations are small bits to a greater whole. Are they huge overarching support to freedom? No. Are they small bridges to ease the gap? YES! Embrace those things, which flowed in to support you came through your intention. If you are not, please stop reading this and set some intention around your wants. Feel the freedom inside from receiving this type of support, then sit back and allow. Asking right now will be supported. In whatever form it is for you connecting to source energy is also a biggie right now. Conversing with the divine is dispelling the old belief we needed an intermediary to do this for us. A minister/priest/prophet/Amy the psychic…WHAT? Make your connection to universal energy/source/God, however you see it, connect. We are still bridging the gap to self-love. Many of us are finding old patterns resurfacing and creating mental chaos. Let go. Our only choice is in choosing oneself. If we are in relationship with others who are holding us back or keeping us stuck perpetuating patterns, which defeat us, we need to let go. If we can within these relationships alter our course, release ourselves from judgment and non-serving beliefs we can reset the course of this relationship. In career, slow-down, evaluate what serves you. Drop what doesn’t. Being at peace right now requires us to advocate for ourselves. To be our own keeper, free from co-dependence, free from self-criticism and self-doubt. If you have a tricky topic on your plate, be quiet with yourself and ask what you want in your life long term. If your current process, career, relationship or situation achieves this, stay the course. If not, make change.

Energy Update: Taking on the Energy of Other People

For years people have told me they pick up the energies of other people. I look at us as responsible for ourselves so that energies are “clinging onto us” has been a challenge to my understanding. However, I was begging the question around this and the answer revealed itself. As children we looked to our parents for cues on what is safe and what is not. There are many studies, which have taken a visual patterned surface and a baby and placed them on it. The child will glance to the parent for cues that it is safe to crawl across this varying visual surface. Based on the parent’s response the child will react and move or stay. This is how parents could play live chess! As we grow older we look for social cueing from our parents. Our parents didn’t always know and maybe had odd rules around this for themselves via their own insecurities. This is where dysfunction comes in. So, if we are unsure about our self? We look to others for social cueing and for how we “fit”. Thus, when we pick up others energies we are looking to others for our validation. (This differs in the place where there is a “Vampire Archetype” or a chronic complainer). Stop looking around and be with you. Many or all of you reading this are empathic and you may see this differently than how I’ve stated it here. I have to stress the tipping point is you are not a victim of the energy of others. You are leaving yourself open to this by trying to size up “what mama thinks of you.” We ultimately seek validation and love from a mother and father figure, something most of us didn’t receive. We can now allow ourselves to love our self fully and replace this need and experience with self-acceptance on all levels. Love you and you’ll be able to love everybody else too!
