Reclaim Your Peace After an Energy Storm
Over and over life presents us with unexpected opportunities that stretch our comfort zone. There really is no such thing as getting comfortable unless you avoid contact with others. Even nature brings experiences that affect your energy and require shifts to plans. Ultimately, we all desire to stay centered and be at peace regardless of what happens in our life.
From the energy perspective, you have peace when you have graceful boundaries with the people in your life, feel grounded, refill your energy regularly and have balanced exchanges with others.
Sounds simple, but as far as I can tell it’s the most complex part of being a soul in a human body.
People want more than you have to give at times. Their fears or trauma get triggered, so they grab on to you to ground and regain their balance. It can really throw you off. They make mistakes that impact you. Or you make a choice that has unexpected consequences. Having something unexpected rock your world, including someone who brings destabilizing energy, is like getting caught in a storm.
You’re on a hike in the mountains on a sunny day. You feel at peace.
Thunder rolls in the distance. Your inner-voice says, “I know this one. Got it. No problem.”
Lightening ripples across looming dark clouds you see beyond blue sky. Do you feel at peace now?
Hair stands up on your arms as the storm moves your way. Your inner-voice is like, “Maybe it’s a good idea for me to change my plan, turn around, move to lower ground, seek shelter?”
Do you feel at peace now?
Lightening is hitting the high points. Torrents of rain are pelting down. You didn’t bring a rain jacket. Your inner-voice is running through all sorts of possible bad scenarios laced with criticism, “You know better. You didn’t tell anyone where you were hiking. You didn’t come prepared. Your intuition nudged you to turn around. If you had, you would be back to your car by now.”
Your drenched, tiny hail pelting your skin. Thankfully the lightening has passed. But not the self-critical voice. Your energy was thrown off. How do you regain your peace?
Life happens. Your peace will be tested over and over again. Sometimes it will be due to a choice you made that has consequences you didn’t expect. Sometimes it will be others energy that impacts you and requires some work to reclaim your peace.
When something is stealing your peace, its most important to return to the basics (see diagram).
- Visualize your grounding cord. A fresh one, deeply rooted in the earth. (RED ARROW)
- Reset your aura bubble. This is me. That is you. We can love each other, have compassion, help each other and NOT be IN each other’s bubble. (BLUE CIRCLE)
- Call your energy back to you. Imagine it coming from the person or situation that your peace was lost to, pouring back in to fill you up through the top of your head. (GOLD SUN & ARROW)
The tests to your peace will come. That’s a guarantee. But you always have the power to reclaim your peace by reclaiming your energy.
Such a wonderful reminder! Sending thanks and love from my bubble to yours??
Gratefully received! Hope to see you this summer
