As the energies are changing on a planetary and humanitarian
level, it’s creating change which in turn is seemingly creating more disruption
in our personal lives….
As this plays out on a personal level, we experience more challenging times. So
if you are finding yourself in fear, anxiety, seemingly too much on your plate
and/or can’t seem to slow your life down, know that you’re not alone!!! AND you’ve
somehow been connected to this writing for a reason! Hopefully I’ll be able to
give you some clarity so you can catch your breath and exhale….
Now back to the way of finding peace in the Chaos. It’s embracing and BALANCING
all facets of yourself to achieve your “trifecta”…..the body, mind
and spirit connection. If any of those are out of alignment you experience
“dis-ease” or “unrest”.
If you take care of your physical body by way of exercise and fueling it with
good nourishing food, you will have the strength and endurance to tackle most
any chaos that is triggered during your “fight or flight” response.
If you take time to stimulate and challenge yourself mentally you will have
developed and stored a usable toolset to “think” logically what your
best plan of action would be best within your circumstances, again during times
of being triggered.
And lastly in this trifecta, and in my option the most important is; partnering
with your higher self, your spirit, the one who knows and has no fear, no
anxiety and has no need to control or purchase safety or to prove it’s worth.
Connecting to your spiritual self will require you to allow that bigger part of
you to be the driver of your vehicle. This means understanding your ego and its
real purpose, which is to keep you “safe”. Think of its skillset as
basically being that of a five year old or that of a caveman.
To do this connecting and allowing your higher self be the one in control can
be uncomfortable at first. This may take some getting used to because we tend
to think if we let go and don’t control everything, that things will get it of
control or not get done.
This allowing your higher self or spirit to be the one in control; isn’t about
“not doing”, this is about learning to get quiet enough to listen and
when we do that we begin to get inspired action steps. The bread crumbs will
always show up in front of us.
When we are in constant fight or flight mode, live in fear, anger easily,
anxiety ridden, it’s because our driving force is our “ego mind”. We
are moving through or pushing through life by our triggers and sheer
“will”.
We are then a product of our environment. We are processing through our ego
mind what is coming at us from our current environment.
Our exterior, what we refer to as “others” and environment are the
ones in control. It’s a wheel that as long as we operate this way, we will
never get off of, it’s a constant “I feel” and “I react”
process.
It’s a conditioned response that we learned at a very young age.
Most people believe these circumstances in their life are the cards they’ve been
dealt with and accept the status quo and spend their whole lives
“dealing” with the things they’ve been handed, not ever realizing we
have a choice and our lives can be different.
Don’t let a major crisis in your life be the catastrophe or catalyst that makes
significant change to your life, like an illness or lose of something or
someone major in your life be the reason for your wake up call.
Listen now to your slow progressive uncomfortableness that is life squeezing
you.
You CAN live with ease, you CAN live in freedom, you CAN have joy and health and you can
most certainly have peace within the chaos.
Again, the key is to allow the real you, the bigger you, to be the driving
force of your vehicle.
I encourage you to begin a practice of setting undisturbed time aside, even if
you only start with a few minutes, to get quiet and find your true essence, the
energy, the electricity, the prana, the chi, the life force, that animates your
physical body.
Partner with that essence, listen and allow that to steer your ship. That
divine spark that resides within you is the bigger one who knows.
When we do this our life transforms in the most profound way, it starts with
peace, then the worry and anxiety fall away. You think that this may make us weak
and mushy, but it’s the opposite, we begin to stand in our power and have
unshakable courage and confidence because we “know” we no longer
“think“.
Our essence, our spark, is within our heart center.
Our egoic mind THINKS, our heart KNOWS.
When we start living from this bigger, more powerful part of us, is when we
become our real true badass selves.
Things are no longer forced, it flows, it flows out of us by way of compassion,
kindness and love.
You will begin to see your world through new eyes and your life will change
before your eyes. There’s peace in every step.
When you make this connection within, so without (as within, so without), your
outside world and circumstances change radically.
You will see, respect and want to take care of your physical body at a new
level. You will be stimulated creatively and inspired to expand your mind. You
will begin to see with new eyes and expanded possibilities.
Trust me, you will still have challenges, but it’s “how” you handle them
will change and that changes everything. The mind THINKS, the heart KNOWS. Tap
into your essence within your heart and begin to let your life flow out
“through” you.
When you tap into that essence it’s like your battery, it’s your personal
powerhouse, that inexhaustible “you”. You become your own powerful
generator that creates change, NOT a product of your circumstances.
You will no longer feel the need to control or force. Trust me, people will
feel your power because it’s authentic and graceful.
When you squeeze an orange what do you get? Orange juice. What emotions are you
feeling currently? If it’s fear, anxiety, anger, confusion, despair, worry,
resentment, know you have the power to change all of that in an instant, by way
of connecting to that bigger part of you, the one who knows the real truth and
the way. Then when you get squeezed, you will no longer be
“triggered”, instead compassion, understanding and love will flow out
Remember, you cannot take any material wealth or things
you’ve accumulated in effort to find security or status with you when you die.
The only thing that ever travels with us is our deeds, our actions, our karma,
good or bad. What legacy are you leaving and how do you want to be remembered?
Learn to love yourself first and treat yourself with loving kindness, the kind
you crave to have outside of yourself and want to bring more of into your life.
When you start there, that’s what begins to cultivate self-worth, self-empowerment
and your “true” power starts to immerge because you’ve ignited
something. It’s like installing a new battery in a flashlight, it’s the
positive and negative poles of the battery. When you turn the switch on that
generates the power…it’s the “connection”. It works the same way
when you connect your intellect and physical body to your energetic spirit
essence of you. You will become your own generator because you’ve connected to
an infinite power source.
Do you also know your heart creates its own force field? It’s this giant energy
torus field you create, so what do you want to be putting out and circulating? This
is the thing I’m referring to when I say “so go Encompass Yourself with yourself”. This torus field that we
create around ourselves influences what surrounds us.
When you understand and master this “trifecta”,
You stop being defensive because you feel safe. You stop being guarded, you
become the guardian, you stop being the taker and seeker, the hunter and
gatherer for bigger, better, more…you become the giver. You stop being all of
those things and things will change because you step into the flow of
abundance…things flow “to you” by way of “through you”. Be
a seeker of that understanding and your wealth, status, respect and
impression of how people view you, as well as your world, will automatically change
when you comprehend and live THAT truth.
Finding peace in the Chaos is about
making peace with the war that rages within you. Discover your light,
embrace it, own it, become it, shine it, encompass yourself with it and share
it. Remember, when you know better you do better.
Be well
