I wondered if I would ever share this as it was such a time of great tumult, which seemed to have come out of the blue and strong as it was, thankfully, short-lived.
Vulnerable, raw, and hopefully uplifting, I share in the present moment, as I've been hearing of many experiencing similar feelings.
Emotions coming 'out of the blue,' body issues- odd aches, pains, feelings of being electrocuted (my own experience, and by no means severe). Listlessness, lack of motivation, deep grief, anger...
Not that I do not myself experience things of the above nature anymore, I simply turn to Love, immediately.
After the interview, I held space for myself to "arrive." My time online has been very scarce, and as either I am in direct interaction with people, or creating; drawing, sewing, cooking, playing...creating.
It has been a wonderful time, all in all, the last few months, and I am called back here and now, to connect with you.
As I have said to numerous people, we are seemingly awake and functioning, "business as usual," so to speak, however, there is nothing usual at this time.
We are, all of humanity, going through the same process a caterpillar does before it turns into a butterfly. We too are on a similar trajectory, though, as the butterfly, we do not have the benefit of being sheltered by a cocoon. That said, I've heard of many of you cocooning yourselves in the shelter of your home.
Look though my darling, whether you believe in any of "this," or not, there is one thing we can all stand to do, which, in turn would lessen the not so feeling goodness, on a collective scale. If you desire that here and now - neverminding anyone else - then I ask for you to do something:
Turn to LOVE, at every single opportunity.
I would highly encourage the turning away from all news. All of it. Even alternative. Even the weather channel. Even your favorite Astrologist.
As I said to a client recently, "You have all the answers that you need within you, and you need not come back to me." I have zero interest in profiting from one's uncertainty about things.
What does turning to LOVE look like?
Taking time and space for yourself.
Letting go of control, knowing that, just as you and I are here from simply an egg and a sperm mulitplied into trillions of cells that operate without our instruction (but then too, we can instruct them, and you will learn to do so in upcoming months),
Slowing down
Paying attention to your body Temple. Can you feel when you are hungry, or full? Do you practice that? Try it - your body is a beautiful tool in this process, literally a conduit, through which you can (and will!), receive messages from the version of you that exists in non-physical. The One who chose to come to Earth at this time, to see this process through. You have access to this greater aspect of yourself. Here and now. Ask aloud for this aspect of you. Keep calling upon It. Develop a relationship with IT, with the YOU that KNOWS all things . Practice dear Love, practice.
When you come to a situation that triggers you, no matter how big, or small, breathe, walk away, contemplate. it.
Our Mother Nature awaits your pain. Go to her, give it to her.
Imagination is "magic," and most certainly not just for kids. Play with yours in ways you did so as a child.
Can you see life through a different lens? Can you find the "blessing in disguise?"
It was on 26 July that our car said decided to stop, literally. Benjamin was en route to a pop-up market that we were scheduled for as merchants. It was something that I'd organized and loved, and was so looking forward to attending, after the great success of the first of four, in June. This time however, as Benjamin's body had been in serious recalibration (which looked like cold & flu, out of work for several days), I thought it best take that day, as it was outdoors, and I wished for him to experience the richness I did, when Moazzez Confectionary made our debut.
Suffice it to say, the car said no, and my Darling made his way back home, with our car on a tow truck.
Though yes, we missed out on interactions and of course, sales - Ben was safe. Neither of us flinched, and later he would say, "I'm so glad I got the message from my Lord, to slow down."
Indeed we were slowed down - we have a business, for which a car is needed.
It's been over a month now, and what's happened is that instead of running out in a panic for a replacement, we took a breath - many! We're allowing for the space we've created for a new vehicle, to get coloured in . Same as my not rushing for a job, after Love and Peace For All, closed down. It's been so special to create "space to get coloured in.'
Darlings Dad and Mum stepped in, and allowed us the use of their car when in need of a supplies/ ingredients, well as the last double market day. For that one, too, I thank my dear sister, who's also stepped in.
We hitch rides when we can with dear friends, lyft at other times, but you know what's been so fun?
Discovering Flixbus! On it, we wend to the beach and for the two of us, a return trip cost the same as parking, though we had such an enjoyable ride, with someone else doing the driving. ;) Too, I jumped on Flixbus to visit my dear sister and her family there. Our car was not in the best shape for a while now, so driving on the highway wasn't an option, but the idea of a bus hadn't even come to mind. So, all that to say, a blessing in disguise, right?
Another story, from yesterday. Aa a dear friend and I, returned from a walk, I began to experience pain in my solar plexus region. Minutes later, upon arriving home, I relayed to Benjamin that I would lay down. I said no thing of the pain. I did not name it, simply that felt like a balloon inflating within me, though no bloating to show for it.
On a mission to love it free, I sat on our bed, crossed legged.
I closed my eyes, I swayed softly, and eventually was swaying deeply with my abdomen pressing on to each knee, slowly one at a time. My mantra was "I AM THAT I AM'" that which is always at the tip of my mind. Eventually I laid down, eyes still closed, though there was no sleep. Approximately an hour later, it was gone.
You might say, "an hour?!" I say, "I'll do what it takes for my body to adjust to the change it is going through. An act of love, that requires practice, grace, compassion...
This information is not new, by any means. Many have said it before and I reiterate:
If you change the was you see things,
The things you see will change.
What can you change right now, dear Love?
Thanks for coming along, it's good to be writing to and for you, again.
Please, should you wish some guidance, I'm happy to be of service. Call on me.
I Love You, eternally.
