We are experiencing A LOT. We are experiencing what might feel like an avalanche of shifts in how we view our world around us. It can feel energetically as if the ground beneath us is shifting like it does in an earthquake. Our sense of security and belonging is called into question. What we thought we knew and what we thought was real is being upended, destroyed. This is happening to us not only as individuals on what could be called a micro level, but on a national, global, and even cosmic macro level. Many things are shifting and being destroyed. This can feel very scary and deeply disturbing on a body level as well as a spirit level. It’s as if reality itself is shifting in the midst of all the destruction.
Simultaneously, many new things are being created. There cannot be destruction without creation. Destroying is necessary for creation. Destruction helps create space for something new to emerge. Spring follows winter. We need not try to control this process. Creating and destroying is happening all around us all of the time. This is transformative on all levels. Without creating and destroying, none of us would be here and the universe would not exist.
How do we navigate it all? The many emotions and energies, the deluge of information and the stories this creates, the seemingly competing agendas, the division.
How good are you at creating and destroying? This is a skill that we’re going to need. If your idea or picture of your world is being shattered, can you let it go? If you’re clinging to an old image that’s no longer real for you, can you allow it to be blown up? Can you see it being destroyed? Begin to make room for a newer, more present-time picture to form.
Practice by closing your eyes and visualizing a rose. Create that rose in your mind’s eye. See the stem, the petals, the color, etc. Turn it around and look at it from all sides.
Now, blow it up. Destroy that image of a rose you just created.
Do it again. Create a rose and destroy it.
Will you notice that you have the ability to create and destroy? You are not powerless.
Without judging the energies you’re handling, will you create a rose for something you’d like to let go of? Maybe it’s a feeling or a mental image, picture, or story. Maybe it’s an idea that you “should” be more or better. Maybe it’s a feeling of helplessness, despair, or shame. Maybe it’s resistance to something that’s happened that you didn’t want at all. Or perhaps it’s an old idea or story about your life that just isn’t true for you anymore.
Whatever you’re aware of, I invite you to create a rose for that. Let the rose absorb the energy of it, like a sponge or a vacuum. Allow that rose you’ve created to collect all of that energy. Then, once it’s full, blow up the rose. Do this as often as you need to.
Use your ability to create and destroy to help you navigate these shifting times. Let your ability guide you through the transformations taking place all around us. Keep the energy moving and flowing.
With Love,
