You wake up
in the morning and feel an invisible intensity within you. You feel a heightened sense of emotion –
whether it be love, joy, happiness, anticipation, or sadness, anxiety, worry, anger,
depression, despair, and fear – as you proceed through the day. You feel a sense of exhaustion or tiredness and
feel a need for deeper rest than usual. You
are having intense headaches or migraines.
You feel unexplainable deep aches within your body or maybe you are
sensing/hearing ringing in your ears.
You see and hear people react with intensified
passion. You see chaos in your surroundings,
in the lives of friends and families, and in society at large. You see magnificent acts of kindness while
you also see acts of violence around the world. You see positive adjustments in the mindset and
actions of friends and co-workers, and you sense a collective shift within
humanity.
You walk
outside in the bright sunshine, and you see a vividness that is more alive than
ever. {Please take the time to acknowledge the beauty around you!} The sun is emanating
an invisible, quantum field of potentiality that is open to your creative interpretation.
Will you choose to flow with these miraculous energies
of potential - unaffected by the chaos as you practice unconditional love and
compassion while being free of judgment - or will you find yourself in the depths
of anxiety, confusion, fear, and despair?
The choice
is yours from moment to moment. You can choose
to expand or diminish your awareness, consciousness, personal frequency, and
attitude. You make this choice each second of each day. It is a beneficial
practice to be very aware of your state of mind!
It is
suggested that as each feeling, thought, difficulty, or environmental stimulus arises,
you flow through it without attachment or judgment. A peaceful, centered, calm, and resilient
state of mind can be quite helpful in managing these intense waves of emotion
and upheaval in this present (and future) time.
Here are some suggestions on how to reach and maintain
a sense of inner calmness:
Sit in Stillness
- Set aside
dedicated time EACH day to sit in
silence (at least 10 minutes, but suggested to be 30 minutes if possible)
-
Detach yourself
from all external stimuli (cell phone, computer, TV) for this silent period
-
Begin to relax in
a comfortable position and take a few long deep breaths
o Enhance the experience with a candle, incense, or your
favorite essential oil fragrance (for calming, or anxiety/stress relief, I
absolutely LOVE the TRANQUIL
mixture from Young Living or I can even make a custom spray blend
for you, such as my Stream of Serenity blend)
-
Choose to listen
to calm,
soothing music if you find it helpful
-
Feel free to
begin your stillness session with the citing of a positive statement,
affirmation, or mantra
o Try this one: {“Amid the stress,
distraction, constant motion, and stimuli in my surroundings, I AM a
peaceful island of serenity, and I resonate to the sound of silence.
I take a deep breath to release tension, chaos, and disharmony and
replace it with the comfort of stillness.”}
- Let go, release
all thoughts, and quiet your mind……
-
Repeat, repeat, and
repeat throughout the week so you can continually
build your mental and emotional strength
Additional
Suggestions

Take ample time
to rest and rejuvenate when possible. If
you feel you need extra rest, please respect the needs of your body and treat

changes as needed to support your personal growth

Some days
will bring about feelings of elation, and some days will about bring tears and
heavy emotions. Do not try to suppress
feelings of discomfort – just experience them and let them go.
If you find
difficulty in managing intense emotions or feelings of anxiety, worry, fear, or
depression, and you feel that you cannot cope, feel free to reach out to me
(love@letearthrise.com), and I will be pleased to offer support and comfort.
Please
offer to do the same for your friends and family as there will (now and in the near
future) be a need to amplify your compassion for those around you – as well as
yourself! Be prepared for the times
ahead.
Remember,
that you can choose to float through this shift in joy and elation knowing that
you can create miracles or you can get bogged down by fear, chaos, and worry
with a sense of victimization.
What will
you choose? Whatever it is, please remember
to be kind to yourself and to those around you.
We are all in this together!
