Today I’ve asked how we can restore balance and harmony within ourselves when the energy within and around us is causing agitation.

I’ve pulled a card from Toni Carmine Solerno’s Ask an Angel oracle cards…

Divine Justice

As I reflect on this card, I am reminded that even when we feel unbalanced or agitated, there is always Divine Order from the larger perspective. Everything is in balance, even when we perceive it as unbalanced. It does sound like a contradiction but let’s explore this more deeply.

The issue is that when we see something as a negative experience, we judge it as bad and then we start to fight it. We don’t want to feel anxious, frustrated or in pain. We just want those feelings to go away. However, THAT is where we struggle the most. The struggle is not in experiencing agitated feelings, but in fighting against them. Our focus ON the ‘negative’ feelings increases and it generates momentum like those cartoon snowballs rolling down the mountain.

When we feel out-of-sorts we seek to come into a happier state again and we assume that something has gone out of balance with us. We always want to fix what is wrong (it’s natural!) so we try and push the feelings away or ignore them. Or, we go the other way and make a big drama out of it, maybe even taking on these negative feelings as part of our identity and ‘who we are’. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be neutral and balanced. Really, would we be here in a human experience if we expected balance?

This is a new time in our soul growth and it’s time to ALLOW all experience as part of the whole; to stop hiding from parts of ourselves that want and need expression, and to stop turning against ourselves when we do experience the shadow side of ourselves.

It’s also time to release ATTACHMENT to feelings that come up, because often this isn’t even ‘our stuff’ that is causing us to feel off-kilter. We’re energetically sensitive beings who are constantly picking up on the energy of others around us, including mass consciousness fears and anxieties. If we can release attachment to feelings that come up, we can allow them to naturally be released and to find resolution.

How we do this is to be an observer rather than a victim. We can breathe and be in a mindset of releasing what is not ours, but also in allowing ourselves to release what IS ours without judging it or examining it. It could be old energy ready to be released, even from past lives. If we try to make sense of it, we can get caught up in old energies that just want to move on. So see yourself as a tree that sways in the wind or as water flowing down a stream.

The lesson I find in today’s message is that we need to accept and trust ourselves, to allow all emotions and feelings to have a place in our lives without judgement.

Let’s remember that energy simply needs to flow and resolve itself – it is not here to harm us. We are the ones that cause ourselves the most harm when we fight against what is natural. Let’s release the labels of something as good or bad – it is all experience. Let’s savour the experiences for what they are. We certainly don’t get such a richness of experience in the non-physical!

“It is what it is” – I find this statement helpful in accepting “what is”, in the moment.

Breathe with your soul . . .
