Nurturing Energy

I am stunned by the loss I feel as I give up struggle. Who would have thought?

I have lived my days facing challenges, accepting the necessity of taking on more than felt comfortable, and pushing my Self through moments I simply didn’t know how to get out of… thinking I would reach a place and time when I could quit swimming upstream.

And because I asked so passionately, clearly, consistently for just such a thing, I have attracted opportunities to understand I will not ever struggle my way to a time of ease. Ease comes when I release the struggle.

It did not come easy, the release. Logic battled intuition. Old beliefs shouted as insights whispered. Fear and doubt pushed me around. But circumstances and conversations showed up urging me to see past what I’ve always assumed. And, in the end, I did release.

Today, I sit at Café Spirit with a soothing cup of tea because I am feeling a bit off kilter without my struggle. It means anything is possible. It means there is nothing between me and my dreams. It means I get to play.

It means laying my head back, putting my arms out to my side, looking up at the sun, and feeling the nurturing, sustaining energy all around. It means trusting the current to take me forward, knowing I am bringing to my days exactly  what I think about most often.

Giving Energy to my Potential

In the pink light of this day dawning, I am experiencing clarity. Some events, circumstances, activities, and people are distractions while others are there to help me move toward my destination.

 

My journey to know, embrace, and share my potential isn’t better for cutting a wide swath and isolating myself from life around me. It is in trusting my feelings to know when I’m giving away pieces of my Self so I’m reassured I matter or… spending time and giving energy to a moment that feeds my spirit.

 

Yesterday, I stood at the edge of the lake talking about choices as one of my Café Sisters looked into her own future and potential. Today, I come to thank her for sharing. She moved me deeply with her capacity to challenge her own deep fears. She touched me with her courage to even imagine. In being witness to such power and beauty, I woke up with a dream that led me back to my Self.

I’m glad we spent time at Café Spirit. She inspired. And my own journey feels empowered.

Financial Abundance

Sitting at Café Spirit, I am looking past my usual view and enjoying the energy fields quantum physics is confirming and many have known for generations. And I am struck by the soup of energy around me. Every object, person, thought, feeling is swirling, each in their own particular vibration.

Normally I’m inclined to close my eyes and simply feel the beauty, but today I’ve seen something I’ve been missing. As the different vibrations of energy flow around me from near and far, I am being exposed to the particular rhythms of every different emotion. Financial struggle has it’s frequency as does abundance. The first feels familiar. The second is a new friend. And this is what I’ve realized.

When vibrations of financial struggle move by me, I am inclined to assume they are mine. I turn to them, wonder about them, and give them my attention. I take them on as mine when, in fact, they are most likely flowing willy-nilly by me in the soup of energy. And rather than accept them like a coat handed to me after a gathering of people, I can simply say, “Oh, that’s not mine. I used to wear energy just like that, but now I’m wearing that one, over there… the energy of abundance.”
