“Stress is a reaction when you’re trying to control things you cannot,” the angels once told me. They have a way of taking problems that seem so complex and distilling them down to the pure essence. It seemed so obvious when I started to look at my own life and the lives of the many I’ve worked with.
On a day when I’m feeling my connection to the Source, nothing stresses me. I don’t need to be in control of anything other than my own mind! The rest is the job of the Creator of Universes, and everything that appears on my path I trust to be perfect. I drop a glass of milk and accept it, thinking how pretty it is as the white river pours over my kitchen floor and the glass sparkles in the sunshine. I know it’ll lead to some good. Perhaps I’ll support an eBay seller by replacing it, or I’ll go to the grocery to get more milk and run into someone wonderful. In a traffic jam I listen to fun music, clean out my purse, and bless everyone around me. When someone is upset with me, in that space, I feel only compassion for their pain and send them love.
When I’m connected, I know the only thing i can control for sure is my inner world and that seems 5D-logical, easy, fun, and instantly effective.
On days when I haven’t maintained my connection to love, and forget that I can control my inner world, I fall into old unpleasant habits of victimized thinking. I drop a glass and beat myself up for being clumsy. I get antsy in traffic. Someone gets nasty, I take it personally, and let my feelings get hurt. I waste time, miss opportunity, and forget my inner power.
The external world is exactly the same in both cases. The difference is that in an empowered, connected, 5D state I am aware that I always have the ability to control of my own mind, my reactions, my energy, and therefore the quality of my moments. I choose to be happy from within. In a disconnected state forget and give all my power to the outer world. Nothing has changed but my thoughts.
So while the wild world whirls around us we can be peaceful and calm and centered, healthy, and happy. These past few weeks it seems that the anger vibe was rising up in a lot of folks. Many were reporting gallbladder or liver issues, frustrations, anger, and impatience. If that was you, its OK. No one will ever judge you in the heavens, and there’s no need to judge yourself. Nonetheless, there are tools as the angels say, that help us reconnect with Source, inner power, and a much better feeling reality.
Breathe. Flow love. Breathe.
Here are a few pointers how to get back into the calm center of the storm…
1. Breathe. Flow Love. Breathe
Do the exercise the angels suggested this week. Breathe deeply, and exhale slowly. Repeat this at least three. Pick up something around you and talk to it like a beloved. Appreciate it. Flow love from your heart to it. Breathe again. See how you feel.
I always do the exercises they suggest while I’m channeling the newsletter. I picked up a pen and admired its smoothness, its sharp click, its wonderful blue color, its sleek design… and before I knew it I felt madly in love with my pen. I may never look at it the same again.
I’ve been having problems with my website being painfully slow all day, and suddenly as I breathed and flowed love, it didn’t seem like such a big deal. It would get resolved. I stopped to appreciate that future in advance. Ding. An email came in from the support folks who were working on it. Problem solved. That’s the beauty of breathing, being present, flowing love. It may seem simple, but in 5D reality it is a quick vibrational tune-up.
2. Take Breathing Breaks and Presence Pauses
Every time you stop at a stoplight, train yourself to breathe. Or if you’re at home, set a timer and stop what you’re doing when it dings. Take a few slow deep breaths. Pause to be present every now and then. Every time you feel yourself getting stressed, frustrated, or cranky, flow love towards the first thing you see. Keep flexing those inner muscles. It may feel ridiculous in our 3D paradigm, but in the 3D paradigm you’re learning to re-tune your tuner!
3. Remind yourself often, “I am always in control of my energy”
It is a huge paradigm shift to stop blaming others and the outside world for how we feel. For some time we’ll all be “works in progress” when it comes to reclaiming our power over our own energy. It is a new way of thinking. Most of us grew up with the blame and shame game, but as I recently heard, “when you change the frame, you change the game!” We’re all working to change our frame from “external creates internal” to “Internal creates external.”
As the angels like to say, “Reality is like hair. What you see today you grew on the inside yesterday! What you’ll see tomorrow is what you’re growing inside today.”
After a few decades of working with angels I know that their so-called “small, silly exercise” are neither small, nor silly. They understand that the name of the real game, the 5D game and beyond is one of learning to manage our energy and they’ll use anything they can to assist us in doing so easily, quickly, and kindly. Try it. Practice it. keep it up. We are all moving toward a more amazing reality, just one moment at a time 🙂 Breathe. Flow love. Breathe!
Ann,
Thank you so much for being YOU!
Bless you Layne! Love and light!
