I was having an interesting conversation this morning with a coach who is seeing clients struggling to ground - particularly people who are not all 'head in the clouds' - people like that (like me heheh) don't really worry about grounding, we love this hurricane effect! We just fly higher and higher and let out a loud WHOOOP!
But others, the usually more grounded types are really struggling when the hurricane strikes - perhaps you recognise yourself? So something to contemplate - when you are used to sinking deeply into the earth for your sense of grounding, or you are used to having a plan and a routine, or you rely on things being stable and steady - try refocusing your grounded nature into the depth of your own body. Particularly the root/base chakra.
Grounded types have a huge well of resource in their base - that's why you can connect so easily to the earth, you help to ground ideas, build and complete projects - but you need to remember your strength is innate. It is not out in the environment, it is deep within your own self. Remind yourself when you feel fear or anxiety - all is well, you are a huge resource of inner strength and power. When you steady yourself the hurricane can howl all around you - and instead of trying to grab the earth and get hit by the strong winds, instead let the ground go - you are the ground. It is you.
Yes Elaine, totally agree! let's be so certain and peaceful that we can spread the same to anyone who needs it. Let us do our little part in this amazing Universe. Peace, Love and Light to all.
I know! I often wonder what my life would be like without Reiki...
I often think of an amazing dream I had a few years back - I was floating out in space totally content, I had a deep innate sense of where I was and that all was well. I was really enjoying the freedom and peace. It was really very lovely, expansive yet totally quiet. I was relaxed and full of joy.
Then I noticed someone else was with me and he was freaking out flailing about and panicking big time - he was shouting and swirling, in a huge amount of distress and I'm just looking at him weirded out - what on earth was the matter? He's shouting "Where is Earth? Where is Earth? We're stuck out here!!!" So panicked and afraid.
I was so confused..."its over there" I say pointing with absolute certainty to a completely empty piece of space. He stares out into the emptiness and then back at me like I'm crazy..."How do you know??" And I look out into the emptiness and I also wonder, hmmm, how DO I know?
Then my mind kicks in - hang on a minute, how DO I know? Maybe I'm wrong? Maybe we really are stuck out here all alone floating in space? It was a fascinating moment of watching my absolute certainty begin to dissipate as my mind kicked into gear. I could feel my fear start in my mind and make its way throughout my body.
Then I woke up.
I carry this dream around with me and bring it up often when I feel that fear - it began in the head and spread like a virus. It robbed me of my deep inner certainty and peace in a matter of seconds, it came from an outside source - someone else planted the seed of doubt in my mind.
When I come back into my stillness, there is only certainty, peace, and joy. I enjoy life very much from this perspective 🙏❤️
I am being very very honest, if not for Reiki I don't think I would have been grounded. It's only because of Reiki I feel so calm and stable even in this chaos. ( Is this the same person I know since childhood, that I am talking about? LOL) This hurricane will take away all the unwanted stuff along with it.
