Over the years, many people have asked me if I’m afraid of various things — politics, viruses, conspiracy theories, economies, you name it. Occasionally, I do get sucked into fear. However, the farther I go down this path, the less fear there is. We’re eternal. We have control over our vibration. I have made it a discipline and way of life to remain rooted in God.
When I have a concern, I go to the Source. When I have a challenge, I go to the Source. When I have a health issue, I go to the Source. When I have a bill, I delegate to the Divine and wait for guidance. I pray with conviction that we are all heard, loved, and supported and that while I can bolster others’ intentions and prayers mightily with great faith, I cannot dictate their choices. I can only manage my own.
There are so many things I’ve feared in the past that never came to pass. I talk to folks in heaven, and they frequently report how much time they spent worrying about what might, could, or should happen. They now know that these worries wasted precious moments of life that could have been spent in some more loving frame of mind.
If a problem is in front of us, or if we see it coming and receive guidance, that is the time to act. If not, making up stories about what might, could, or should happen is pointless. Worrying about things we can’t control is a waste of energy. I have a sign in my home that says, “Worrying is a waste of time. Create.” I have read it so many times I shift easily to creating.
Several years ago, I had some pretty intense chest pains. My left side stung, and I laid down on the couch, started to breathe, and called in Jesus. “Am I going?” I asked. To this day, I laugh at the fact that my first thought wasn’t a fear of death! Instead, I wanted to know if it was time to donate all my craft supplies so my relatives wouldn’t have to deal with them! Jesus showed up immediately. “No, you’re not leaving. It’s just a nerve.” I went to a channeled session a few days later by Summer Bacon (who still puts out awesome downloads from Spirit), and the angel coming through her told me I had a pinched nerve and gave me a quick chiropractic-type move to fix it. Sure enough, I lived 🙂 And I kept all my craft supplies!
Seriously, there is a lot of whirling on this earth. I have been joking with friends that I better get my energy up to full strength before this next election because people have strong feelings on both sides of the fence. In my work with the angels, I listen to many deep concerns, fears, and even rage about our social and political climate. The angels don’t tell me what is going to happen in those arenas. They want us to exercise our free will, create with our hearts, and learn from our creations. If you give your power to a person or a fear, no matter which “side” you’re on, you’ll be subject to that fearful choice. If, instead, you choose to live the values you want to see in the world, then regardless of politics, you are empowering what you love in your life.
Peace is possible no matter what is going on. This past year, my own mother had several near brushes with death. A dear friend died just a few months ago. Another is going through severe health challenges. I’ve been working full-time and starting a creative business on the side. I’ve had the usual surprise expenses. Dear clients whom I love and adore have left this earth.
I see the politics, the wars, the economy, and the chaos when I choose to look at them, but instead, I’d rather look at the bees buzzing in the rose bushes. Instead of worrying about potential “adversaries,” I go sweet talk the wasps that live in our neighborhood, and we co-exist in peace. Big Black Bee came at me again for the umpteenth time last month, aiming straight for my face, and for once, instead of allowing him to terrorize me, I stood my ground and said with loving force, “Cut it out!” He did a U-turn in mid-air and has left me alone since 🙂 I focus on my vegetables and their fortitude in the heat. I focus on learning what I need to know for my creative pursuits. Most of all, I focus on the fact that there is a loving Presence that deeply wants us to have harmonious lives that satisfy our hearts.
You can tune into this peace, too. Here are a few pointers to make it easier:
1. Stop making stuff up
We create all sorts of negative scenarios for our future, whether likely or not. In truth, a great many of our fears come from making stuff up! We worry about things that haven’t even happened yet or hypothetical results of things that have happened. We project our past into the future. We make stuff up, and it agonizes us.
Next time you catch yourself worrying or fearful about what might happen, ask yourself, “Am I worried about a REAL condition here and now, or one I’ve made up that does not exist in this present moment?” Then make something better up if you must, or drop into the moment, deal with what is in front of you, and make the happiest choices you can now. Rather than drawing what you fear into your life, this will ensure a much happier future.
I have developed a sense of humor about our human tendency to make stuff up. Now, if I catch myself making up “What if” scenarios, I stop and challenge myself to imagine the best instead of the worst, to focus on what I want rather than what I don’t, and to create rather than feel helpless to deal with the stuff I’ve made up that isn’t even a reality in my present moment.
2. Face your fears head-on
If you can distract yourself with a better vibe or something more pleasant, do that. Only if you cannot distract yourself with a better vibe, face your fears. Ask yourself, “What would I do if my fear came to pass? How would I deal with it?” Fear will tell you that you can’t, won’t, don’t have the resources, the help, the wisdom, and that you’d fall apart.
Love would tell you those fears are lies. We have the most loving Presence, the creator of Universes accessible in every breath to help us deal with absolutely everything, in every moment. We are not alone nor are we without help. Fear wants to convince us we are. Go to God.
I ask the Divine for help with everything I cannot easily figure out or handle on my own. Even then, I ask for help ordering my days, learning what I must, and accomplishing the things I already know how to do. There is no such thing as asking God too much, any more than a cell could ask the brain too much. We are part of this love. If you often ask for help and receive it, you will remember that you have the help when something disrupts your peace.
3. Practice Peace
The Serenity prayer — the one that asks for the ability to change what we can, accept what we can’t, and know the difference — is a guide to living in peace. When something worries you, ask, “What can I do now?” If you get an answer, do it. If not, do something you enjoy. Give all your fears to God. Delegate up. There is great peace in knowing you are not alone. The more you practice this on the small concerns in life, the more easily you will maintain your peace.
Many I know are finding this peace. I’ve heard beautiful reports from those who go to God daily. Their lives are taking magical turns. They are popping into new realities of feeling how loved they truly are. They are starting to have experiences of being guided in beautiful ways to interact with loving and helpful souls. At first, it barely seems real, but the more you practice sitting with God or your angels every day, the more you will feel this unshakable peace.
