How to Stay Calm in the Storm

We all know 2020 is about the craziest year ever…

Astrologers will tell you they’ve never seen anything like it. And, according to my favorite astrologer, November is going to be the most intense, and possibly violent, month of the year. Ugh.

We are on the eve of the most contentious election in US history as I write this. Is anyone feeling a little anxiety or perhaps some battle fatigue?

How do we cope with this when it feels like everything we thought we could count on now appears to be made out of a stack of cards and we don’t know who to trust?

Not only is the world looking a bit fragile, but many of us are feeling it in our own personal lives. People and situations we thought we could count on may not be looking so certain after all. The stress of life in quarantine is massive for many and, unfortunately, the collateral damage is staggering.

Since the end of this, shall we say—instability—is nowhere in site, we need to learn how to rise to the occasion and navigate this as best as possible.

What are some basic strategies we can use?

A Great Transformation is Happening…

Today is July 4th. A date that has historically marked the birth of a nation and great hope for the future.

Yet, this July 4th is unlike any other. Our lives are currently full of constriction, anxiety and uncertainty about what is going on and who to believe and trust.

We are living in unprecedented times.

The speed now at which things are happening is head-spinning and mind-boggling. It’s a challenge to keep up…

Many of us healers feel we have been preparing for these days for a lifetime. We could feel something coming…for years. Perhaps most everyone could. It all makes sense now.

Don’t kid yourself…Life as we knew it is over.

Something better may be coming if we do this right. If we don’t, I fear what life will look like in the years to come.

We must all stay aware and conscious now. There is no more time to numb out, go to sleep and avoid the issues in our lives that we are here to transform and heal.

This is about more than a virus, inequality, misogyny, racism, police brutality, the economy, politics, fear, deception and whatever else we are facing on any given day.

Whatever problems are “out there” originate from what’s unhealed inside each and every one of us.

Your Future Lies in Your Heart…

I was doing a guided meditation by my meditation teacher, Joe Dispenza, the other day when I heard him say, “Your future lies in your heart.” A primary aspect of his mediation teachings is to have you focus on your heart while letting go of your habitual clinging to familiar thoughts and feelings.

I often find this instruction challenging as it shows me how much I am unconsciously attached to my conditioned thoughts, which then create my daily reality, even after 30 years of regular mediation!

I can relate to how hard it is to create deep change. It takes a daily practice of disconnecting from the “matrix” of our common reality and consciously choosing to see things in a different way.

The reason this is so important is that we are all caught up in a mass hypnosis of sorts. We are socialized and conditioned to think if we do the “right” things, and make the “most logical and safe” choices then everything will ultimately turn out OK. After all, that’s what we’ve been taught for years by our parents and society. They should know, right?

Rough Times Ahead?

I think most of us would agree, it’s been a bumpy ride this year globally, nationally and individually for many of us.

I believe our consciousness has a lot to do with the circumstances surrounding us. Many of us have been asleep and unconscious for a long time.

We have unwittingly participated in creating the mess.

It’s time to wake up.

There’s no more time for apathy, avoidance, denial and procrastination. We can’t keep thinking someone else will take care of the problems. We are largely in the position we are in because of our narrow-sightedness and unwillingness to pay attention to what is happening in our personal lives and the collective as a whole.

Hence, here we are. Rough times ahead?

No doubt.

But, how rough it gets will depend somewhat on how we handle ourselves in the storm. This is true in life’s daily struggles as well as with the larger global events.

Happy Holidays!

Wishing you a beautiful holiday season…

And a fabulous New Year!

I often wonder what the world would be like if certain people were still here. John Lennon is one of those people. In his honor, I would like to remind us all of his vision for a more beautiful world. This song was released in 1971 during the Vietnam War.

We still have a long way to go! Make this next year your best…

IMAGINE

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say that I’m a dreamer,

But I’m not the only one

I hope some day you’ll join us

And the world will live as one

(Thanks, John. May he Rest in Peace.)
