Why Things Feel So Heavy Sometimes - And What to Do About It

The energies from this month feels like we are walking through mud. Almost like a slog through January with all the sicknesses! (I made elderberry syrup but a little too late this year so we were hit with an onslaught.) Things are manifesting quickly, but we are also being faced with all our old patterns/programming to release them. Not always fun, but always necessary!

Events occur around us and we feel like we have no control over them.

Sometimes the best solution is to just “show kindness and compassion to the people around you,” as a local elementary school boy can teach us all.

In these moments, we struggle to understand why events are occurring as they are. But due to divine laws of amnesia, we do not have remembrance of our soul lessons according to the life plan we set out for ourselves prior to our incarnation. (Sometimes I pull Tarot cards to help me get an understanding of what the heck is happening.)

But there is always a learning and a lesson in everything.

Sometimes the lesson is just to pause, and to notice what we are feeling. And sometimes that is all we can do. We feel crappy, and we don’t like that. And our society has trained us to numb the emotions that don’t feel good, to push them away by avoiding them with TV, social media, alcohol, food, you name it.

This only works for so long. Eventually the emotions will spill out, and often in weird ways. Like a volcano that wants to erupt, if we do not give our emotions a healthy outlet, they will spew out the sides anyway, often in less-than-ideal moments and ways.

Anger is a common emotion many of us feel these days. And heck, why shouldn’t we? There’s a lot to be angry about. We have been tricked, brainwashed, poisoned, abused, manipulated, shamed and just beaten down by our society, by the corporate-controlled forces that run things. We have put up with thousands years of horrible things being done to us in past lives, and that trauma is still carried in our bones.

However, this energetic shift that we are experiencing is allowing us to heal. We are receiving downloads of frequencies galactically, and we are breaking old paradigms, healing collective wounds and smashing the toxic, smothering patriarchy that has its tentacles in every major system – religious, political, educational, economic, governmental, medical – that we live under.

Still, this deep anger needs an outlet.

We can work with this anger, sadness or whatever it is. We can identify the emotion, notice it, and then magically, it starts to dissipate. We explore it, getting inside of it, allowing it to be fully felt and experienced.

After a while, we can release it. Like Tony Robbins says, “we want to swim in the waters of our emotions, but then get out of the pool.” We don’t want to wallow in the negativity for too long, as it can bring us down.

So exercise! Get that heart rate up and move the energy out! Yell! Let the tears flow. I find that carefully-placed curse words can be extremely cathartic, as is listening to my favorite angsty Generation-X band, The Pixies.

And then come back to the breath. Our best friend in the world, is our breath, always there with us, always around as our anchor connecting us with the loving, wise part of who we are. That inner peace.

This is also where our higher guidance can come in. Angels, especially, can absorb this for us, can help transmute our pain into love.

(And things should let up next week when the energies will shift a bit. Thank goodness!)
