Putting any thought out into the world can feel like stepping on landmines or eggshells in this climate. To walk deliberately is to piss someone off, and to "keep the peace" is to speak without authority. The evolution of our words with media moving as quickly as it does now with such polarizing stories has many of us in frenzies of agreeing or disagreeing, looking to each other to find the closest person to blame for that uneasy feeling that none of us truly have a pulse on what is to come.
In times of unknown, people grasp for guarantees, promises, and wishes. This is natural, and it is flimsy. A belief is just a perpetuated thought about what you can see. Faith is a deep knowing beyond thought. And while faith can extend us beyond what we can see, there is still plenty we can see to steady ourselves.
What an invitation to slow down and find the immovable things- the love in our hearts, the power of a smile, the willingness to lend a hand. Watch the brown of the trees turn to colors of spring. Notice that people are still laughing, still falling in love. Find your peace in the way that your feet connect with the earth, not just because it's beautiful but because it is powerful and needed.
While so many stories are pulling us in directions of disconnection, may we remember what cannot be taken. May we remember where our power lies, to maintain the strength to focus on what it really means to be alive, not as a way of bypassing any turmoil, but as a way to step outside of the suffering of it as that is the point of distraction. This is a simple practice in preparation for all unknowns.
Sovereignty is never given. And it is never taken. It can be threatened and eclipsed, but it goes nowhere and comes from no one. Reminding each other of this is one of the most powerful gifts.
If you find that your goals are looking hazy, if a bolster of reminders would serve your walk forward, if you know that this life is not a dress rehearsal and you are truly ready to be up to those big things in your mind- sharing your art, starting that business, releasing unforgiveness to feel fully expressed, what better time than now? My complimentary discovery call is full of reflection, curiosity, and empowerment that will consolidate the daydreams in your mind and remind you what is possible. From there, things may be clear enough for you to take the leap on your own, or you may find that a partnership between us is exactly the medicine of the moment. Let's find out.
As always, reiki sessions are available remote and in person for that nervous system reset and relaxation.
And if you are looking for in-person transformative work, particularly around the masculine and feminine energies within you coming into greater harmony- whether you are looking to soften and gain more empathy to expand your relationships or you need to have your own back more and build trust from within, let me know, and I will send you initial details for my retreat in October 2025. More details to come!
