Episode Transcript:

Hey, beautiful souls, welcome back, or welcome in for another episode of Spirit Speakeasy. In this week's episode, we are going to go over seven grounding truths for chaotic times. How to Stay spiritually aligned when the world feels upside down, if you have been feeling off lately, perhaps more drained. Maybe you feel more reactive, like your emotions are right on top. Perhaps you feel scattered, like you can't keep track of why you're in this room or what you just were doing, even numb in some cases, I just want you to know that you're not alone. There is so much happening around us. I'm not going to hash it all up again, because we all know what a lot of it is. There are world events happening. There are natural disasters happening, political tension in multiple countries, not just the US and Canada. There are
emotions happening in our collective, deep grief in the collective and even turmoil. So whether you follow the news or not, you're definitely feeling it energetically, and we're going to talk all about it. But can we please normalize spiritual exhaustion and emotional overwhelm, especially for intuitives, empaths and healers, I think often we're just all expected to keep it pushing, to keep our heads down and moving forward. And I think not acknowledging it is just not real for us that are sensitive, because we're feeling it so palpably. Even as someone who works with the spirit world, every day, I spend time in meditation almost every day, I feel the subtle energies around us, and I can pretty often, have a lot of tools to focus my energy, focus my awareness. But even for me, as someone who has been in this work and has all of these tools, I feel this heaviness too. So that's why today I want to offer seven grounding truths. These are not shallow tips, but they are real, Soul aligned tools that can help you find stability and spiritual connection even in the midst of the unknown. Because I think that's part of what's so hard, is that we are experiencing things that we never experienced. There are things happening that are unprecedented across the board in multiple areas, and our future feels unknown or uncertain in a lot of cases. Now we can say like, yeah, okay, but do we ever actually know the future? Are things ever truly predictable? Possibly No, but we do often feel like, you know, if things have been pretty steady, if we have a steady job, if we're, you know, used to being able to go about our day to day, we get this, almost like illusion or comfort, that things are stable. Things are steady and right now, everything feels unsteady, unknown, upside down. And as I go through these seven truths, I just invite you to see where you can see yourself in them, perhaps where you can see others around you in these truths. And hopefully this will give you a little bit of something to focus on. So when things do feel chaotic, whether it's in the world at large or in our own, family groups, friend groups, community groups, etc. We really do have some tools to hang on to, and some of them involve some like actual tips and strategies and things to do, and some of them are just things to remember. So I'm going to dive right in with this Truth Number one, your nervous system is sacred space. We don't always think about it like this. I know we talk about here often that we are
spiritual beings, having a human experience in this human form, right?
But we don't often talk about being dysregulated and how that affects us as spiritual beings.
Regulation matters energetically and spiritually, not just physically. The body is spirit's holding place almost and certainly a tuning fork for us to feel emotions, to feel things around us, to understand those subtle energies. But when we are dysregulated, it feels really hard to receive guidance. So when we talk about regulating our energy, what we're really talking about is tending to this intersection of our nervous system and our spiritual field. I know here we talk about the auric field and the energetic body, so really just balancing out or tending to that intersection of our nervous system and our spiritual body, the physical body and the soul body. Let's just say it that way. In chaotic times, it is easy to stay in a chronic state of that fight, flight, freeze or even fall.
One where our nervous systems are on alert. I don't know about you, but I have at times found myself like really checking the news pretty frequently. I go in and out of this. I give myself breaks as well. But we really can become at a place where we're just in this state of alert all the time, scanning for threats, over stimulated often and sometimes, for some of us, in certain instances, that can even push over into just being totally shut down. The problem is, in this state, we become energetically, like leaky, almost more reactive, right? Instead of receiving information, letting it land, processing it, feeling our own emotions, and choosing how to respond, we can become very reactive, very lit up in our emotions. You might even be noticing more kind of bickering everywhere you go, whether online or in person. We often feel disconnected from our intuition, from guidance, from that which we know to be true within us, and we also become more vulnerable to absorbing other people's emotions or feeling them unconsciously, is maybe the way I should say it. We're consciously feeling something, but we're unconscious that we are taking other people's emotions into our auric field. When I was doing a lot of healing work with clients. I started explaining it to clients as like other people's dirty socks getting stuck on your orc field, because we do pick up all of this energy and emotions and other people's quote, unquote stuff as we go through the world. So what does regulated energy. Feel like it feels like these are not going to be exactly right words for everybody, but hopefully you can see how they make sense in your space. It's a sense of being centered in our body, not outside of our body, but like in our body, feeling our feelings, not reacting, but steady. When we are properly regulated, we are able to respond rather than react. We are emotionally available but not overwhelmed, right? We're spiritually connected and intuitively clear, or at least intuitively aware, like we're feeling our intuitions, even if we're not always taking the guidance, I'm going to give you three practices to regulate your energy, spiritually and physically. The first of these practices is anchor in your body first. Now I know that oftentimes we can just want to feel or grab or snatch for that subtle energy, right? But the reason we need to ground in our body first is because our body is kind of this antenna for energy while we're in a physical body. So if we're floating in these mental loops, or we're not present, we're drifting off into this stressful thought or
energy of of Yeah, kind of rehashing. For me, sometimes it's like writing the same email 30 times because I just am so lit up about what I how I want to respond. Does that ever happen for you? So if we're having these types of things happening, our energy and our energetic signals, that intuitive nudge, for example, can feel fuzzy, right? Not as clear. We're not as available for it. So there's a couple things you could try this first tip is essentially press your feet into the floor, like two feet on the floor, if you can, if your physical body allows for that, and Name five things that you can physically see or feel right now. So oftentimes it's looking around the room and just naming one thing you can see, one thing you can hear, one thing that's solid in the space where you are, and get yourself to five, this really brings you present. And then once you feel present, you can do that exercise we've talked about before, where you put your hand on your chest and one on your belly, or even just one hand, if that's best for you, and just take some simple breaths and say to yourself, I'm here. I'm safe. I can choose how I show up in this moment, because we're bringing our energy back to center. Instead of having it scattered and and reaching for information outside of us, we want to just bring everything right back into center. Another easy tip, or quick, simple tip to hang on to for getting more regulated is using your breath as a tuning fork. Breath is one of the fastest tools to reset our frequency. Think of it as almost like clearing static from your energy field. With each exhale, you can release what's not serving you, what doesn't belong to you. So you can try this
simple method of like, what's called square breathing, which is essentially you inhale for whatever your natural breath is. Mine's about for some people have much longer inhale and exhale, but comfortable doesn't have to be a stretch for you. So you'd inhale for for the count of four. You'd hold for the count of four. You'd exhale for the count of four.
And then you'd hold for the count of four. So that's why it's a square, because you're counting and each you know, if it's six for you, it's inhale for the count of six, pause for the count of six, exhale for the count of six, pause for the count of six, then back to inhale. So it's really great, even just if you for two minutes, can do this breathing pattern, it really starts to regulate you and bring you back energetically into your body. So two minutes is great for that. You can also hum or just like sigh audibly, right? You could chant, if you're into chanting, these activate that vagus nerve which signals to your system it's okay to come out of this fight, flight, Fauci flea survival mode. This is a little different than this tip of personally for me, rather than the breath or the chanting or the humming, I like to sway my physical body. There's something for me about gently swaying back and forth. And I also feel like it's not very noticeable. I do it in public, a lot you might if you ever watch the video version of this, or watch me on video in any way or teaching, or even we're doing the healings, if you ever see me gently swaying, sometimes it is just a calming mechanism for me. And the third little tip here is, be the gatekeeper of what enters your field, so almost heading things off at your own personal gate of your auric field, so to speak. In chaotic times, energetic boundaries can get thin, porous, if you will, and we're not meant to carry it all, and certainly not all at once. So you could even make a practice of asking yourself daily. Maybe it's in the evening, maybe it's at lunchtime. What's mine to hold and what's not? Essentially, what kind of energy am I allowing in, whether it's through conversations, through media, through scrolling, even thoughts, perhaps it's those water cooler conversations that you're maybe not going to be a participant in anymore. For you, once you get clear about what am I allowing in, what am I taking in, and you can't even do a little guided visualization for yourself, where you're imagining your auric field, your personal space bubble, as just filled with golden light, and imagine any unhealed or unhelpful or energy that doesn't belong to you, almost like leaving flowing out of your space like a mist or like a smoke or a fog, and just breathe yourself back into clarity. Energetic regulation really helps with intuitive clarity and when our energy is just regulated, guidance from our spirit guides our higher self, our loved ones on the other side, our intuition, it feels really hard to sense that guidance when we're lit up in our energy, or it can feel distorted almost where we're not entirely sure. Oh, is this the right choice? Is this not the right choice? If you ever feel like that, the first step is to try these personal regulatory tools. Or if you have a different one, I would love it if you share it. But when we regulate even just a little bit, even if it's like two minutes of that breathing we talked about. It's like turning down that static. For those of you that remember when TVs used to have static, and turning dialing your radio to almost like a more clear signal, a more tapped in, tuned in signal, and you can feel it, see it, sense it more clearly. Okay? Truth Number two, not all the energy you feel is yours. I have had a stream of clients, probably since the beginning of the year, and I've heard in various ways from different people, different humans, because we're all different, that people are just feeling off. They're feeling like they're overly emotional, or a heaviness on their heart, or even a heaviness on their back with no physical problem, a heaviness in their energy. Some people describe it as feeling like a little dark cloud is over them. Some people describe it as feeling less hopeful, right? But just bringing your awareness to this idea that not all the energy that you feel actually belongs to you. So we've talked about this before that we have this auric field, this personal space bubble. You can go back and listen to the aura 101 video, if you want that teaching in in like an expanded way. But we are these empathetic, energetic beings, and with this auric field that we have, and with all of our sensitivities, if you're into the chakra system, it's also happening through that we're perceiving information subtly all the time, energetic information. We do hear and see things you know with our physical senses, obviously, but there's other information we're always taking in. So if you were, for example, to be in a conversation with someone, let's just say at your work, and the person just telling you about their weekend, your physical body, your energetic body, your auric field, is also sensing the emotions about what they're talking about, and they might not.
Say, Oh, I had a really good time. But through their expression, you're feeling, oh, okay, this was a positive experience for them. Or Oh, okay. I know that they said this was a party, but something must have happened because they sat. They feel really stressed out, as they're telling us. So we are constantly discerning other people's information. It's part of being a natural healer, an empath, an intuitive and most people will say like, Well, I'm not intuitive. I don't know if I have that, but if you've ever been able to have caring, compassion, empathy for how another feels, you have it. And we're all sensitive. So even if you don't feel like you do, you do have it
when we are carrying around other people's emotions and energies like that aren't ours. First of all, it's typically not helpful us. Carrying around a heaviness for someone else as they're going through stress doesn't help their stress, right? Perhaps supporting them in a different way could, but just carrying around or taking on and trying to help to carry emotions that aren't ours, really isn't helpful to anyone. So the first thing to practice here with this not all the energy you feel is yours, is to start understanding what energy and emotions are yours and what do not belong to you, what belong to someone else. So if you're having a feeling, an emotion rising up, maybe it doesn't even feel like it's rising up. Maybe you're cruising through your morning and you just feeling a little lackluster, right? You're just feeling a little meh. I don't I don't feel amazing. Ask yourself, what part of what I'm feeling is mine. Meaning you could check in and say like, Is something going on that's making me feel a little down, besides the state of the world right now? No, you know, I had a nice exchange with my partner this morning. Kids off to school. Good. Everything feels okay. I have this meeting coming up. I'm pretty prepared. Okay. What is this heaviness then? So it's just taking a little bit of an internal inventory. Is there something you're upset about, besides the world in general, is there something that's a heaviness, and you can do a little exercise again, where you're imagining a waterfall or wind or a light shining and dissipating, whatever emotions or energies aren't yours, but part of it is realizing What emotions actually are ours, and what we are taking on, or even the way I often say it in the work is matching. Because if we don't feel sad and we are sad on behalf of someone else, we're kind of matching a level of their sadness so we can take ownership of it or hold some of it on behalf of others. So getting clear about what emotions we are having and what emotions we are not having that we're feeling in our space, will help you understand what actually belongs to you, and it'll help you dig deeper into your own emotions for clarity or healing or whatever you might need. But it'll also help you decide more intentionally. Oh, okay, I'm not carrying the weight of the world today. Doesn't mean you don't care. It doesn't mean that you're not realistic about what's happening. But you don't have to carry all of the emotions around you, all of the heaviness around you. And as a little part B to this, if you have some time and you're feeling like you want to do some journaling, you could even sit down and think about, okay, I have this heaviness on my heart. What's going on heavy in my life? Okay, maybe my relationships are good and things are good for me, but when I look at the people that I care about in this world around me, start with those closest to you, right? Is someone closest to me having you know this emotion of sadness and then expand out is someone I'm adjacent to, perhaps a coworker, a casual friend, my friend's partner, right? Like one of my kids friends, stretching that circle out and then out even more. And that's how you can start evaluating when you're taking on other people's emotions, and just remind yourself you're sensitive, you're not broken. This is a beautiful part of you. It's what allows you to support and have empathy and compassion for others. But you don't need to hold it Truth Number three, stillness isn't escapism. It's a strategy.
I want to reframe stillness a little bit as a radical act, especially in a noisy, reactive world. You know sometimes stillness feels unsafe or selfish, especially when other people are suffering and we want to remove ourselves and take a moment of stillness,
especially if we have something really loud going on. Perhaps someone in your world is having a health crisis, or is nearing their time of passing, for example, or having an emotional crisis in their life, we can often feel like getting still isn't safe, because then that's when the loud thoughts might come in, or that's when those racing emotions might come in, or.
Might feel like stillness is selfish, like, how can I take this time for myself when this person's suffering so much? But the actual truth is, stillness is where our intuition speaks to us. It's where our higher self communicates, our guides our own soul. So really, it's where clarity can return to us. So I might just see if you can reframe this idea of stillness as a radical act of strategy for yourself, rather than something scary or bad or that you don't have time for. And we are so conditioned in this day and age that we like something on all the time, TV on radio, on podcast, on right music on something on all the time, white noise on but can you just try even three minutes of silence? You can do it like breath, listening like listening, literally to your inhale and exhale from inside of your body, if that helps, that can help to realign your energetic field. But remember spirit, whether it's your loved ones on the other side, whether it's God of your heart, whether it's your higher self, whether it's your own soul, whatever way you want to identify these different ways of guidance and inspiration that we receive. I'm just going to say spirit. Spirit is speaking to us in the quiet, in the stillness. Spirit doesn't shout, it whispers, and so does our intuition, our guidance, our own soul. So please understand here that I'm not saying silence yourself, because I don't think that that's healthy either, but I am encouraging taking a few minutes of silence, especially when things feel chaotic, just to regroup, to reset, like your own energy, your own emotions, maybe that's a time when you can do a little bit of regulating, a little bit of just taking some breaths. A really simple way to duck away for three minutes of quiet is to go to the restroom. Just say, like, I need to use the restroom, or I need to wash my hands. That was always a little sneaky tool that I used. Was just like, Oh, I'm just gonna go wash my hands, and then you can just take three minutes. Very few people bother you if you're washing your hands or using the restroom or even taking a shower.
So how can you get these little moments of silence for yourself. And silence doesn't have to mean total inaction. I just was working with someone earlier today, and they said, You know what, sometimes I find a lot of peace. They had a really traumatic loss in their life, and they said, I find a lot of peace by just taking a tennis ball and throwing it with my dog for 10 minutes in the morning and just that silence, really, I try not to think about anything, and it gives me a lot of peace. So it doesn't have to mean that you're escaping. It doesn't have to mean that you're avoiding reality. Stillness can be a strategy, and you can harness this strategy of stillness for yourself to let rise up what needs to or even just to have a few moments of peace to reconnect with the soul of you. Truth Number four, spiritual bypassing does not equal spiritual truth. Okay? I think this is important to dive into. Many of you have heard the term spiritual bypassing. Essentially, it means avoiding hard emotions or difficult situations by hiding behind this idea of like love and light, right? Just spreading love and light. I don't want to know about anything hard. I don't want to deal with anything difficult. I just want to stay in love and light, and there's value to that in in
pieces and in parts, right? But if we avoid all hard emotions or hard situations, that's spiritual bypassing, and we're not finding spiritual truth or solace or healing in that
you can even affirm to yourself. You can hold both anger and compassion, both grief and gratitude at the same time, feeling deeply and really being honest with ourselves, within ourselves about our own emotions, is being spiritual. It means you're present. It means you're processing. It means you're doing what is often the hardest work of being a human being, having a spiritual experience, processing these emotions that we have. And believe me, with how crazy the world is right now, it can feel like we just want to bypass and just love and light all over the place, and not, you know, put on those blinders and not see any of the hard things. But spiritual growth is not about floating above the storm, so to speak, it's about learning to root deeper while that rain pounds. Does anyone remember that movie from the 80s, the never ending story? Indulge me for a minute here. I'm going to give you a quick context for anyone that doesn't know that.
Movie. If you don't know that movie, please on whatever streaming service it lives on now, go find it. It's an amazing movie. I feel like the themes hold up anyway, there is this warrior young man. His name's Atreyu. He's on this quest, and his role is essentially to find a cure for the Empress and save this world known as Fantasia, and Fantasia is being consumed by something called the nothing, which is really a metaphor for despair, hopelessness, loss of dreams. I feel like it's really super applicable to the world that we're experiencing right now. And Atreus journey brings him to something called the swamps of sadness. This is a place where anyone who gives into the depth of sadness that they're feeling will be essentially swallowed by this swamp. And there's this one key moment which everyone I know cried at this part, and so did I essentially as Atreyu tries to make his way through this swamp his beloved horse artax begins to sink so even though Atreyu is pleading and encouraging and begging and feeling all of this desperation, his horse artax is taken over by the sadness, the emotion of this sad swamp, and starts to sink into the swamp. It's one of the most heartbreaking scenes in like all of children's cinema, because there's no magical rescue, and our tax ultimately does give up hope and disappears into the swamp of sadness. So what we can take away from this in this context of leaning into spiritual truths or just truths to help us in chaotic times, is that hope doesn't always feel bright or cheerful. It's often quiet and hard won, especially in dark times. So don't feel like if you have to work hard to find things to feel hopeful about, don't don't feel like you're alone or like that's wrong. It's the way it is. You may lose companions along this journey. You may lose parts of your old self on this path, but none of our story's over, and especially looking at world events at large. I know it could feel kind of grim right now, but the story is not over. So if you can hang on to that, that might be helpful. And the other thing to realize with this movie that I'm talking about, and the way that story lines out, and the way our life is is help, insight, unexpected support. It really does often show up after our most painful threshold, like after we move through the most painful part. So if that's how you are feeling, if you are feeling a little bit despairing, a little bit like hope is not clearly able to be seen right now, like you've had a lot of loss on your path, and like you're not feeling as supported, just remember to find hope.
It doesn't have to be bright and cheerful. It could be a glimmer, like in that movie, there's one little grain of sand that starts to illuminate and is beautiful, and hope can start out as that one little grain of sand that we can hang on to. I'm going to move on to Truth Number five, because I could talk about this movie forever, and if you guys ever, guys ever want to do a podcast episode where we go through that movie and break down the themes, let me know, because I'm a nerd for that movie, and if you are too, I would love to do that with you. Truth Number five, there's power in micro actions. I invite you to revisit that episode I entitled micro dosing joy. I'll link these extra episodes in the show notes. But it is possible to take micro actions in overwhelming times, when things are overwhelming and seem so much bigger than us and so much weightier. It can be easy to feel powerless, right? But in spiritual presence, like in the presence of our own soul, in the presence of our higher power, in that clarity of calm and groundedness, our light as a soul can ripple out. So even though we feel powerless, our energy matters. It means something. I shared this in a recent episode. One of the many, many, many things the spirit world has taught me is that they receive our love, they receive our prayers, our healing energy, our positive thoughts, whatever other words you like in there, all of that is felt by the unseen world and can move the energy. So I'm just going to give you some quick little suggestions for micro actions, particularly on those days when you're feeling helpless, you could send a little bubble of healing energy. And if you're not trained as a healer, it doesn't matter. You just create a bubble energetically with healing intentions. And you could send that to, for example, a conflict zone, an area where they're having active conflict or war right now. So.
You could also send it to individual service members, right or a branch of the service who is currently seeing action in a war zone or a conflict zone. You could write a letter of support, even if you don't ever send it.
Of course, you could write letters and send them with love and support and good thoughts to whether it's service members or people who are in hospitals who maybe aren't receiving visitors or cards.
You could write letters, or you could just write it to yourself and keep it for yourself as an offering of wishes for peace, wishes for support for people. You could, for example, offer a prayer in traffic, whether you identify it as prayer using that word, or whether you think I'm just going to send my best wishes and positive energy to, for example, someone who's been in a car accident. If you see a car accident, to you know if you're driving and you see fire, you can send love there, if you just know, as you're driving and have things on your mind, you can send love to whatever those things are while you're sitting in traffic, prayers or love, whatever word you like, you can ground the emotion of peace into your home, meaning like, keep the energy of your house in peace, in Love, in kindness. We've talked on previous episodes about using music to raise the vibration of our space, creating safe space, because particularly if you have other people living with you, whether they're people or pets, and particularly if they're kids, or if you have other people, children and the like visiting your home, creating this safe space, this peaceful environment, is sometimes more powerful than we realize. Just giving someone a few moments of peace, you can say a little affirmation for yourself. Every small act in alignment with love is spiritual activism. And again, you can make this as big as you want. If you feel like I want to take some macro actions instead of micro actions, you could be more involved. You could volunteer in your community. You can reach out to community centers and see what they need support with. We used to have something when I was young in high school, where there was a close by senior living center, and we used to go as a big group of us, and spend time visiting with the seniors and hearing their stories. And you know, sometimes people would play piano or whatever everyone knew how to do. So if you wanted to get more involved, there are always more things you can do in your community and more actions you can take in your community, but even micro actions in your own community, perhaps it's, you know, just picking up someone's junk mail and putting it back in their mailbox, for example, or, you know, maybe you start to get to know your neighbors right. Being in community, emotional support, energetic support. So there are power in micro actions, even if it's just sending thoughts, sending prayer, sending love, keeping our space peaceful, those all count as ways of being in micro action. Truth Number six, connect with your unseen support team. Your guides haven't left. So even though we might be sometimes saying like, where is my support team? Where are my guides? Where are my loved ones, they haven't left. They're still close, whether it's loved ones on the other side, our spirit guides, our spirit team, the love and energy of our own soul, of the angels, of the archangels, everyone is still there. It's just sometimes when we're stressed out, we've talked about this before, we feel like the guidance isn't there, or like we can't feel that supportive energy around us, but our our unseen loved ones of all sorts are still close. It's feels harder to hear them or sense them, or feel them or know that they're around sometimes when we feel very scattered, but they're still offering us invitations. They're still offering us support. You guys know I have the free sign mini course on my website, joyful medium.com, it's right on the homepage of the website. If you don't know how to ask for signs, but I really love asking for signs either for specific guidance, right? Many of you know in the past, I've taught setting up a yes or no sign, right? So perhaps you're making a big decision. You might pick one sign to represent the answer of yes, one sign to represent the answer of No, or Option A, option B. I like to choose a time frame, whether it's the end of the weekend or this week, tomorrow, close of business, whatever you like. And I like to see, I kind of keep a running tally in my mind as I see those images that I'm asking for, and when I get to three, I know that's my answer. You may have heard me teach before that there have been times where I have used light bulbs for yes and umbrellas for no.
And then it's just how many light bulbs and umbrellas Am I aware of as I go around my world. But you can use different items than that. You can ask your guides for a specific sign to let them let you know that they are present with you, right? So maybe it's a Purple Heart, and you just be available for purple hearts to cross your path out in the world, and that's how you can know that they're with you in spending guidance. I highly encourage you to take that free course, though, because I really in three lessons break it all down for you. You could also do something a little bit spiritual and symbolic for yourself, to connect with your unseen support team. You could light a candle and just sit there with an open heart for 10 minutes and be available, right? Listen, be available. Open your heart. You could create a mantra, something like, I'm never alone. Even when I feel alone, I'm always supported. So whatever it is, just not forgetting to connect with your unseen support team. Sometimes when this world feels really difficult, and our support team feels quieter. This usually is the time we are most resistant to sitting with our spirit guides or to asking for signs, for example, and it usually is the time we need it the most. So for me, I know if I'm like resisting sitting in meditation, resisting being in silence. This is often when I need it the most, and it's often when I can have access to the most guidance, if I would just do the work my Free Will contribution to become available for it. So I highly encourage you don't forget about your spirit team and Truth Number seven, your frequency is a force the world needs more regulated, more grounded in light people, not perfectionists, not asking for perfection of ourselves, not expecting perfection. We don't need to be fearless. We just need to be present. We just need to work on healing ourselves so that we can show up as the most evolved,
most, I want to say, like less reactive, most intentionally responding versions of ourself, but release if you can this idea about perfection, because we're not going for perfection here. We're just going for being actively aware in that energy. And the truth is, we have a world to focus on. So there might be times where being aware of the subtle energies does fade a little bit into the background. I would expect it to be. If you're like me and you're actively in this work, it even recedes in and out of my focus throughout the day, when I'm driving, I'm not trying to communicate with spirit I'm driving. So just know that you do have that flexibility, and your energy is a force, and the world does need you to be working on your own emotions, working on your own subtle energy, grounded into that light as much as you possibly can be. And I really encourage you to try to be intentional with your energy, whether you're grocery shopping or parenting or creating or even grieving, be intentional with that emotion. With that energy, create space for yourself to grieve. If you're feeling like like I am, to be quite honest with you, I think we're grieving individuals in our own lives and in our own ways, but grieving some of these big losses that we're experiencing collectively with the way certain structures are changing or falling away, with the abuse of power that's happening with the neglect of people, that's happening. I'm not going to as promised, I'm not going to go deep into this, but I think a lot of you know exactly some of the things I'm getting at that are happening out there in the world. We need to be present, engaged in our own energy and managing our own energy, intentional with our own energy, no matter where we are. And I encourage you to think of it like this, your frequency is your offering. So again, we're not saying we have to be perfect. Perhaps there's a day where you're just having a bad day, and maybe you're not going to sit at the dinner table with your whole family and be reactive. Maybe you're going to say, you guys, get started. I'm just going to go wash my hands for five minutes and get get a little clarity, or whatever words work for you and your family system, and I'm going to be back in in five minutes. I'll see you guys then, because your frequency is your offering, your presence, right? Being present, not spinning out, not reactive in emotions. Not I want to say messy, but sometimes we're all messy. So it's not really that. It's more just intentionally working through our emotions, identifying them, not just rushing in from being at work all day, being angry, being aggressive, being frustrated and taking it out on everyone in your Zumba class, whatever it is,
but being intentional. The frequency that you bring, how you show up in any given space, is part of your.
Offering, and perhaps sometimes it's your whole offering. So maybe you're feeling a lot, maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, just know what you can offer is how you show up, is your frequency, even if that means being a little more quiet some days than others, that's okay. Just start where you are.
Okay. So I really want to encourage you that you don't have to do all seven of these truths perfectly. You don't even have to do all seven, if not all seven resonate with you, but even one small shift helps anchor your energy.
And really
one thing to return to in moments of stress is this idea that you're a soul having a soul having a human experience. The timeline is always moving. Things are always happening behind the scenes that we are not aware of. Truth is always coming to light. There is always more going on than we're aware of. And you might even create some mantras that you keep, like maybe in the notes section of your phone or on a sticky note at your desk, just to help you have something to come back to you. And maybe it's something like, may I return to stillness so I can return to truth? Maybe it is what we talked about in the last point. My frequency is my offering just something small to remind you to bring you back. And it doesn't even have to be words. I know people that keep something called a touchstone, which is like a pocket stone or a little stone on their desk or a little statue or symbol or sticker, whatever works for you. It doesn't have to be noticeable to anybody else. This is just private for you, managing your own energy as a highly sensitive person.
And I also invite you to share this episode with someone who may be feeling overwhelmed or spiritually lost, or who might just be feeling a lot of everyone else's emotions and not certain how to manage it or what to do with it.
I also have a lot of free meditations and episodes in the past that can offer additional support or additional ways to temporarily take a break, right? I think that's how many of us use podcasts or movies or whatever else we like. It's okay to take those breaks. I really want you to keep holding your light, keep trusting your heart. I want to make it very clear to you that you matter and your alignment is medicine for you and for the world, and I'm so proud of you for continuing to show up, even when it's hard, even when you feel a little messy about it, it's okay. You're a valuable light in this world, and I'm grateful to have you as a part of my community and to have you here spending these moments with me, we're going to get through this together. And I just wanted to touch into this, because it's been such a theme in lots of my readings, and so heavy on my heart personally, that I hope that sharing these seven truths, things to remember, things to hold on to, and some tips of some ways to move through this energy, hopefully is helpful for you. Let me know, and I'm always here right alongside you, having this human experience when it's beautiful and when it's messy and when it's everything in between. So thanks for being here with me today, and thanks for shining your light with all the people in your sphere that you shine it with Big hugs. Lots of love. Bye for now from inside spirit speakeasy.
