the weakest link

Friday, April 02, 2010

I had a gold bracelet when I was younger. The links were larger, substantial, held together by invisible solder. One evening I looked down to take it off and it was gone. I don’t remember losing it, or catching it on anything, but I imagine that’s what happened. I think there was an unfinished edge on one of the links that caught onto something, and that something, along with my force, just pulled it apart. Once the links were no longer held together, the bracelet just fell from my wrist and disappeared from my life. If we are to keep our lives with us, we need to make sure all of our links are strong, connected, not threatened by life’s current energetic pulls and snags.

It started in full force in January, this current energy cycle that is driving some of us mad with its relentlessness. No longer can we run, or turn away - we see the large boulder straight in front of us, and we cannot steer around it. If we don’t figure it out, we are in danger of crashing smack into the boulder, and I for one have no desire to crash. What is this thing that is before us? Nothing less than our weakest link. If we are strong and healthy, and just have a bad back, that one body part will hold all the rest of our body parts back as we strive to move forward because all of our body PARTS of part of our WHOLE. PART of us can’t move forward without the rest of us. So I look at my life, at all the different parts of me - some are amazing, some are fabulous, some are average, and some are downright embarrassing and harmful. So let’s dive deep down into the muck, into the darkness, into that which we’ve been trying so hard to run from all these years, and see what we come up with. What’s your biggest issue in your life? What pattern keeps coming up over and over for you? What’s your greatest shortcoming, your greatest weakness, your biggest embarrassment? Don’t tell me, or anyone else, just discover it for yourself. That’s your weakest link. That’s the part of you that’s the lowest energy, and that’s the part that it appears CRUCIAL to heal and bring up to a higher frequency so that ALL of you can move forward.

For me, I am working on being braver, bolder, and just being myself without apology or censorship. That involved making a list of my greatest fears, then walking straight through them, one by one. I’ve already listed them, but I’m almost through the current ones. Others may come up, then I’ll have to walk through those later. Bolder? That’s a little tougher, having come through some situations in which I was criticized for being myself and had to stand pretty strong just to remain upright. Being myself without apology? Yeah, that swimming naked thing again - it’s coming along, as I feel myself getting lighter and lighter as I shorten the time between what I’m thinking and what I’m actually saying so that it’s balanced. What is it for you? If you’re scared when you think of something, you’re probably on the right track. Be brave - be bold. Keep going down that trail till you get to the very core of it all. Do you think you have to work harder than you’d like just to be worthy? Do you think you won’t be loved unless you’re taking care of others or doing what they say? Do you need to remain stubbornly independent so you won’t feel vulnerable? Those weakest links are as varied as there are people in the world. But what I see is this: people are standing in this beautiful energy that is now a constant. It’s not letting up to give us a break or a breather, so unless we’re raising our frequencies in our bodies and our lives sufficiently enough to house this energy, it’s not beginning to act like an electrocuting force. If we’re shutting down from it, it’s beginning to shock us and hurt us. Think blown out circuits - too much voltage into the lamp. We don’t want to be that lamp, so unless we keep rewiring to accommodate those ever-increasing higher frequencies, we WILL feel like our circuits are being blown.

Physical symptoms are amping up (get it? Amping up?) - insomnia, anxiety, depression, restlessness, magnified emotional responses, dizziness, mental confusion, anger, fear, as our bodies become overly-sensitive to the energies and shoot that cortisol throughout our systems, disrupting our chemical balances and creating all sorts of havoc on our systems. Solution? Conscious breathing, awareness, taking time to center back into our bodies and consciously open our bodies up to this energy and encourage it to do what it needs to do to help us, practicing detachment so we don’t get caught up in the dramas that aren’t real, talking to supportive friends, journaling, LAUGHING (I’ve been seeing stuff about laughter ALL over the place recently - even RATS laugh to help combat depression), taking time to do things that make us happy, having FAITH, believing in miracles, and being grateful for everything we DO have in our lives.

We’ll get through this - I KNOW we will, but it isn’t easy. But it’s good, because all of this work is soldering all the parts of us that make us US together into an impenetrable bond. Once all the weak links are reconnected in the New Way, our lives are Whole and we cannot come undone. Our lives cannot break and slip away from us. We will carry our Lives with us, and our Lives will carry us - unbroken and whole. So you see? THAT’S a very good thing, indeed. I know you can do it - I have faith in you. You’re strong, and capable, and far wiser than you might ever know. Now let’s get to it, shall we?
