The hurricane around us

I’m sure most of you have felt it in the air the past couple of days. There’s a heavy tension lingering. An energy that appears to be filled with fear. This energy surfaces our deeply rooted or unseen parts of our Selves (the Self) which can cause anxiety, frustration, fear and aggression. Those who are not aware of these energies or don’t look within during this time can often project their fears, frustrations and aggressions onto others.

Currently there is so much going on in the world from all different corners. These are all unhealed wounds that have been buried deep within that are coming to the surface and have become vivid. Those that understand these energies, understand that this is a time to rest, unwind and reflect on every trigger that presents itself. This is the time where we question our fears and ask ourselves what is making us feel sad that we are portraying it through anger and frustration? Ask yourself questions like:
- What currently makes me unhappy or in which areas don’t I feel fulfilled?
- Why do I feel this way?
- What do I fear that can repeat itself from the past?
- Am I protecting myself from this fear so that it doesn’t happen again or am I projecting my fears unto others?
- Have I taken (past) people’s energy and made it my own?

Thing is, if we don’t look within and see the hurt and pain that still resides within, we tend to see it around us. We see it in situations and in others. A reality is then created that becomes our Truth.

But how do we know if we’re doing that? Anything that is tied with a negative emotion or a fear-based emotion can lead us into seeing things that might not be there. It’s like a constant hurricane that won’t stop spinning around in our ‘world’. We see the negative in everything, we get suspicious over everything, we start to question everyone around us. Am I being lied to? Am I being manipulated? Are the people around me deceitful? Why does this person all of a sudden feel like a stranger? These thoughts drive us up the wall and when we confront these people we do not get the answers we are looking for to soothe our minds. The truth is, no answer will suffice. No action will suffice either because the narrative that is created within our minds questions everything. From words to actions. We will find a link one way or another to fit our narrative.

For those that are not experiencing these things but are seeing it in the people around them (friends, family, co-workers, etc), feel like those that are experiencing it have become delusional. Hurtful words are used and far-fetched conclusions will be drawn. But this is when we show each other compassion and kindness whilst still setting boundaries.

The truth is revealed of how people truly think and feel. That does not necessarily mean that’s how they think or feel about YOU. So I urge you to not take anything personal. The unhealed wounds and fears are being revealed that still live deep within someone. The best you can do is observe and understand where they are coming from. Why are things being projected onto you? What are the fears that people are battling with?

Ultimately, it’s your choice whether or not you want to still keep this person around after hearing the words that come out of their mouths or actions made. It is often portrayed as a strong statement. If you know yourself then you know that this isn’t meant personally towards you.

When aspects of ourselves aren’t healed we tend to quickly go in ‘survival/protection’ mode. Try to understand where that person is coming from without taking it on. If it becomes too much, kindly let them know that you will be taking some distance from them but that you haven’t stopped loving them. It’s a wild ride guys.. I suggest you hold on and resort to your usual ways of releasing. Sing, swim, dance, write, paint, be active, be creative to keep your mind off what’s happening around you. And understand that projecting your anger and frustrations back to those that are projecting theirs onto you, will have 0 effect. It’ll just make matters worse and your outburst will be a short-lived satisfaction. Ground yourself.

We will all get through this and trust that it’s all for your Highest good.

Love & Light

A Light Being
