I write today with urgency and sadness, wishing so much for you to hear on a deep level what I need to share.
We lack awareness of the essential nature of caring for our energy, of fostering a relaxed, happy, lighter-hearted way of Being.
Consider how most humans literally bathe in nasty, stinky, rotten energy all day (hey-that is what we have been taught to do and what we are used to): Fearful news stories 24 x 7, gossip, complaining, worry, and the dark, abyss of traumatic pain within ourselves that we have put aside and not taken the time to heal and clean up.
Clearly, living this way would create a reactive, raw, upset earth Being.
Yet, there are so many other choices, other streams of energy to live within: gratitude, uplifting stories of those helping others, affirmation of self and others, belief in the possibilities of one's dreams.
Our choices must go far beyond just "thinking positive." There is a whole deeper level of true caring for one's energy field.
Think of it this way, the human's energy field has many "landmines"--bombs that were dropped in it as far back as childhood, that have never been cleared. Most humans are unaware of this. Yet, they explode and implode regularly as they navigate their day and get triggered by someone who steps in just the wrong place in their energy field. Yet, why don't we ever realize what's going on and take the time to clear our own land mines and help others to do the same?
Frazzled, weary, driven human beings...what are you doing to yourself?
The constant rush-rush, over-scheduled, no time to just be with yourself and truly decompress and process the experiences of the day with yourself and your family? How is this really working for you? For your family? For your society? For your World?
Never a moment built into the daily schedule to stop and breathe? To see how you are feeling? To notice your physical body and the messages it is giving you? To check in emotionally with self and those around you?
Wouldn't you all thrive and be more effective in all you do if you thought more holistically about wellness at school and in the workplace?
What if we as a group of humans took time together to really open to a new way of approaching life? Imagine the possibilities that would pour forth as we joined hearts and minds and gave consideration to a new design of our days? What if we could start fresh, with all the wisdom we have from what we know is definitely not working--what if we could have a white board in front of us and have some fun recreating the schedules, the systems of school and work, and incorporate as the foundation that which is deeply important and valued?
What if we stopped running helter-skelter like our hair is on fire and instead became purposeful in questioning the status quo? Just because all the other families in your neighborhood live non-stop lives and wear a stressed-out badge of importance doesn't mean that their ways are truly laudable, does it?
Can you see the humor in what we have all come to esteem and think is "success"?
See the crazed, worn-out adults and children all around you. See yourself in the mirror. Be willing to step back long enough and ask, "Is this really working for any of us?" The smallest bit of self-reflection and societal-reflection could bring about waves of transformation.
Brothers and sisters, we are wiser than we know. We have just been put on the train of non-stop doing and we think it relates to how important we are -- so, we have failed to pay attention, to really question the way things currently are...but at any moment, of any day...we can ask the train's engineer to turn off the engines so we can gain perspective. If we don't do so soon, unfortunately, our trains will crash and we will be forced to deal with the energetic and life consequences of having crashed ourselves. Is all that really necessary?
If there are a few key questions to take away from this letter of great concern they are:
Are my life choices creating a sense of ease, peace and well-being?
Could I design my day so that I and my family feel a sense of thriving rather than stress?
What aspects of our societal status-quo are working? What aspects aren't working?
What power can I begin to connect to within myself to make some simple changes so that I foster good, healthy energy throughout my day?
Am I willing to make choices for my well-being even if it means stepping outside the crazed status-quo?
I implore each one of us to do a bit of soul searching and to take the time for awareness. These simple questions and times of contemplation can bring remarkable personal and societal "ah-ha" moments. The inspired ideas that rise up from within us can become the catalyst for change.
What I know is...there clearly must be a better way of doing this as a big human family.
What I know is...we are capable of bringing about these changes in consciousness.
What I know is...it starts with you and me. It starts with opening to a new set of possibilities.
I write from a deep sense of caring and concern, a longing for a better way of doing life together, Clearly there is far more that I desire to express but I pray this is a good starting point.
With all my love,
