It has been an intense few weeks judging by my in-box, my sessions with clients, and my own experience! I’ve had moments of unmitigated bliss. And at times, like many of you have been reporting, I’ve had emotional eruptions, as the angels call our intense bursts of feeling, that caught me by surprise.
A few weeks, I had one over something that seemed so silly I was taken aback by my own reaction! It was a busy day and I had a lot to do during my lunch break. I really just wanted to go out back and eat and enjoy my yard and the beautiful day but instead committed a spiritual faux pas by doing what I felt I should do, without any joy whatsoever to make it palatable.
I was on one of those automated customer service phone services that kept looping me back to menus that were unhelpful when I started to spiral downhill fast. None of the options addressed the problem that I was calling about and there was no human to be found – not by pressing #, *, or 0; not by saying “associate,” “agent,” “human,” or “other.” The pleasant computer voice kept sending me back to the main menu. The clock was ticking. I’d be lucky to get lunch at all, let alone outside. I wasn’t going to get any rest till late tonight. I had no way of getting the problem resolved.
I came unglued. It was quite something. I had really spiraled into a lather quickly and wasn’t easily finding a way to shift to better feeling thoughts. I started talking back to the computer-automated system. “No! That’s not helpful! I need to talk to a human being!” She (the computer system) responded once again with the same thing – my tirade clearly falling on her deaf electronic ears, “I’m sorry I don’t understand. Please select from our following options on the main menu.” Argggh! I felt a fiery energy burning within me. I had the presence of mind to hang up, sit back, and try to shift my vibration.
For a while, the harder I tried to focus on a better feeling thought, the more unrelated, buried grievances arose within me. “Why did the computer have to break a few weeks ago just when things were going well? Why do people find it amusing when I hurt? Why does the world have to be so obsessed with an uncommon cold, rather than focusing on health and well-being?” I could have easily convinced people, including myself, of the “rightness” of my frustrations, but after years of living with angels I know there’s nothing right about feeling unhappy!
So, I did what the angels taught me and just accepted myself as is. I vented in my journal, until I wore it out, and realized none of the topics had anything to do with the real issue. The real issue was that I had resisted loving myself during my lunch break, and had been overworking the past few days, assisting people who were venting to me! I had been a little too tuned into the vibration of upset, vs. the vibration of self-love.
By now my chances of a leisurely lunch were over, but at least I was sane. I used the tool the angels taught me to get back in the flow quickly. “I am who I am. Much calmer. Life is what it is. Problem to solve, no time to eat. What Next? Open to love.” So I sat, breathed, received, and let the love of the heavens pour into me.
Perhaps due to the sudden shift from resistance to reception, I had yet one more heart-pounding, bliss-beyond-words mystical experience. The room turned to energy. I felt a river of love rushing through me. My thoughts turned off and my heart turned on and I sat there for a time beyond time. Suddenly I popped back into regular awareness and so did a solution. “Get on the Online chat.” Problem solved. I grabbed a quick bite of lunch and had a blissful afternoon.
I am not able to channel miracle energy because I’m beyond-human perfect. Not by any stretch. I’m able to channel it because even when I’m in resistance to love, I know that choosing to love myself in that less than desirable space, will unblock love’s flow.
Likewise, I’m not able to love the light within those who hate and berate me because I’m perfect. I’m able to do so because I can love the light within me, even when I’m not feeling “perfect.” When you choose to love yourself no matter what it is easy to allow others their own humanity.
It ends up Mother Earth was blowing and venting a volcano that very day in Iceland – one that hadn’t erupted in 6000 years. I was apparently in good company!
These past few weeks hundreds of people have confessed to me that they’re feeling “volcanic” and having “emotional eruptions” too. Some have shared profound experiences of love bubbling up. Some have shared experiences of upsets, tantrums, frustrations, sudden tears, etc.
Beneath it all, the angels remind us, is an incredibly intense, increased flow of love that has come in response to the outpouring of prayers – from humanity, for humanity. We’re just popping a few corks as the champagne of love bubbles to the surface 🙂
Here are a few pointers on how to help you weather intense emotions when you can’t yet get to a better feeling thought…
1. Let it flow and let it go… in a healthy way
When you feel strong emotion let it flow and let it go in a way that is kind to yourself and others. Ask yourself, “If a little child came to me with this emotion what would I do for him or her?” Do that for you. You can hug yourself, or wrap yourself in a blanket and have a good cry. You can curl up and take a nap. You can get a journal and vent to your angels, or God. You can write the letters you’d never send and shred them. You can walk vigorously, punch a pillow, exercise, or clean the ouse with zeal. You can put on music that matches your mood and flow dance to release the energy.
Whatever you choose, try to simply view this as moving energy, releasing resistance, and allowing love to flow.
2. Bless the trigger
It is so easy, and conditioned, to blame the trigger for the mood. “We wouldn’t be angry if he/she/it did/didn’t… whatever.”
A deeper truth is that we wouldn’t be upset if we were aligned with the Love that we really are. If we love ourselves, the opinions of unloving people don’t matter. If we exist in a vibration of trust in God’s love and protection the irresponsible people can’t hurt us. If we own our own right to be and follow our own guidance, the people who get upset at us for not satisfying their demands, look like tantrum-throwing children and engender compassion rather than upset. If we embrace life eternal and see through the eyes of our soul, death might be emotionally hard but not devastating because we know where to seek and find our dear ones in their expanded state of being.
It is our resistance to love that our triggers reveal. When we truly own that and love ourselves through the more difficult times, we reclaim our power, our joy, and the true essence of our being.
3. Tune to better, as soon as you are able
After the eruption subsides, gently steer yourself towards better feeling thoughts… no matter what the subject
When a child has a tantrum you can’t pacify them until they’ve worn it out, perhaps in a timeout. When a child is wailing and crying you can’t distract them with something better until you’ve held them and let them have a good cry. We’re not much different. When we experience a strong negative emotion, we sometimes have to let it “wear itself out” in a kind way before we can gently steer our thoughts towards those that feel better.
Here’s a useful tip from the angels – You don’t have to have better feeling thoughts about the same subject that upset you. In fact, it is easier to choose better feeling thoughts on a better feeling subject!
Better to use your power of focus to focus on all that is good, easy to love, and kind in your life, and then, later, in a higher vibe, you’ll be able to think more lovingly about the original topic.
4. When strong love or strong inspirations come, ride the wave!
When you have those amazing moments of non-resistance to love and inspiration, prioritize enjoying them! Put all non-essential actions aside when those huge waves of love hit you and ride the wave. Sit, feel, enjoy. Bliss out. Imagine opening to more. When you receive inspirations, capture them immediately. Write them down or voice record it on your phone. You’ll think you will remember later, but don’t count on it… they come from a vibration that is not always maintained so capture them when you can!
See if you can memorize the blissful feeling so you can tune into it, at will, later. The more you allow yourself to really pay attention during those magic, present moments, the more you can find their vibration once again.
As we love ourselves through these intense and wonderful times, we open to the greater reality of who we truly are – nothing less than the One Love that Sources universes, having an experience, through us, as us, in us… One with us!
