It seemed as though people I spoke with wanted this past week to fly by as swiftly as it could. I kept hearing the words, “It just feels so heavy.”
Even with the celebrated holiday of love we call Valentine’s Day, many were challenged with old resentments, bitterness and anger from generations past and traumatic life events.
It was a week where the fear of being stuck and the actual reality of it coincided with such raw emotion that a feeling of hopelessness was felt by some. The desire for changing one’s life, one’s reality, one’s existential experience was heightened. Combine our internal mechanisms with what we see happening in our world today and we have a storm created out of illusion, one powerful enough to challenge every sensible notion of humanity and our roles in it. I don’t mind our roles being challenged, I welcome it. I don’t mind the fear, the anger or the heaviness. I embrace those as well. I mind the illusion. I mind the attachments we have formed to the illusion. I mind the emotions that we allow ourselves and our roles to be defined by, not the fact that we have these emotions and we should embrace them in a constructive way. The illusion will morph and our emotions will further our growth if respected with compassion and utilized for the greater good of humanity. I felt the heaviness too this past week. My emotions found a safe space inside of myself, flowing freely, fostering a different grounding to the earth readying myself for the expansion and healing we are all about to enter into.
