Feel Safe, Connected While De-Stressing

Feel Safe, Connected While De-Stressing

This is reaching peeps on the list a bit late. Instead of wrestling more with technology, I surrendered to the energy. My message remains the same: Happy Mother’s Day to all who love and nurture every living thing on the planet!

We are in the middle of spring. The sun and colors greet us, awakening our senses. The physical world is blooming – gold, pink and red tulips float above green stems and grape hyacinths dot the earth. Whiffs of apple and plum blossoms spread along gentle breezes. In my daily walks, starlings and chickadees call to each other, and doves coo in the branches.

We are not alone.

Birds connect me to my loved ones in heaven. Songbirds were my father’s favorites, and the dove, Jonah in Hebrew, was my first-born’s name. When my eyes follow its smooth gray shape in the tree, I remember how much love was given and taken between us. Regrets and gratitude; sadness and wonder. Even though death did us apart, I look for birds whenever I need and want a soothing presence.

Being in the material or 3D body, we came to this world to learn its physicality. A young infant does not know that the mother is nearby unless the baby sees her. Over time, we grow to discern that even if unseen, our family is still around.

Could we also do this with spirit, our guides and helpers? They are with us despite their absence in the physical form.

During our time of vulnerability, we can use all the help we can get for safety and comfort. Our world is fraught with discord. We witness atrocities in the world, we are tired, and at times afraid. It’s become my second nature to get grounded and ask for divine assistance asap. The situation can be big or small, from sending protection to those in need to going to the supermarket near mealtime, I invoke Archangel Michael to cast light around me first, then to others. I invoke Reiki to amplify such light.

This is not about religious beliefs. It is about accessing resources already available to us. We can invite the spirit of the Creator and those that are significant to us – for me, Kuan-Yin (whose name means seeing and hearing suffering), Christ energy, my guides, loved ones and teachers who have passed, and my higher self.

Tune in, be open to receive comfort, protection, signs of their presences. I had ended my memoir with a seagull shooting across the sky when I asked my Jonah a question and got the answer. It is oddly simple and extremely humbling. It lifted my spirit.

In this Taurus season, the earthly energy is strong and in the N hemisphere things are growing vibrantly. Values, pleasure, physical possessions (i.e., house, money) and safety are themes. Developmentally, the Aries newborn arrives at the Taurus stage as an infant and begins to detect the presence of the mother or caretaker. It needs to feel safe and comfy. We can invoke the spirit to give us such gifts within our hearts, mind, and body. We can find ways to mother and protect our inner fire, physically, mentally, energetically.

Here’s one way of connecting to spirit, it is a great stress management tool:

  1. Put the phone on silent to be still for 3 minutes. You can do this anywhere
  2. Breathe in through the nose and hold. Count slowly, 1, 2, 3, 4. Exhale through the mouth
  3. Repeat this 3 times, while envisioning a column of light going from the base of your spine to center of the earth
  4. Feel the connection to the earth from your seat and both feet
  5. This is called grounding. Practice and pretend it works until you feel it
    • Reiki practitioners: Invoke Reiki symbols with intention
  6. Ask Archangel Michael (or spirit of meaning to you) to surround you with their light, to only allow energy that serves your highest good to come through
    • Violet, gold, or white light will work
  7. Breathe in and count to 4, feeling the warmth of the light around you. Exhale.
  8. Your intention is most important: in this case, asking for comfort and protection

What activities help you feel grounded? It creates peace when you make it a part of your daily routine.
