Do you ever take a step back, and look at the bigger picture?
It’s easy to become caught in our own personal microcosm. Energy cords run from our own energy field to the people, animals and situations around us, and that is where our attention goes. This keeps us focussed on our own little world, and the world events that grab our attention.
But what if we stepped back, and viewed the macrocosm? What would this reveal to us?
A month ago, something strange happened. It was an energetic “something” – a change in the frequencies of our Planet, which impacted so many people without them necessarily being aware of the source.
I became aware of it on 19th August, 2024. At first, it expressed itself as an intensifying of energy. But this wasn’t like a small spike in the Earth’s energy field. This one was a massive spike, like a gigantic tidal wave of energy.
Everything sped up. Everything intensified.
People around me were crying out in pain. Loved ones were dying. Loved ones were screaming. Time was quickening. We were in a melting pot of chaos. In many ways it felt like a descent into Hell.
Whenever I experience changes in the Earth’s energy, I check in with people around me. Are they feeling it, too?
Many of my friends were experiencing very similar things. As I spoke what I was feeling, I saw the relief on their faces. It wasn’t just them. They weren’t going crazy after all.
One man said to me “There’s some bad juju around right now!”
But that wasn’t quite true.
“Do you also see the good?” I asked him. Because if there’s “bad juju”, then everything is tainted with that energy. “What I’m seeing is the good amplified along with the challenges.”
He thought about this, and wholeheartedly agreed. The good was “gooder” and the bad was “badder”.
In my own life, I was manifesting at the speed of light.
Things I desired in my life were falling into my lap with such speed and ease, that I was running as fast as I could to keep up with the opportunities. The chaos I was feeling was more something I was seeing outside of me, in the energy of the Planet and the people around me who were reaching out for help.
I reached out to my friend and spiritual mentor. “Has the Earth shifted on her axis again?” I asked him. “No,” he said, “But the other night I saw this giant portal in the sky. That’s where it’s coming from.”
I hadn’t seen the portal. I was only feeling the effects of the energy. But it made sense. It’s as though “something” had punctured the Earth’s protective shield, and a massive inpouring of energy had occurred. Think Avalanche. Think Niagara Falls. Think Tidal Wave.
That energy is purely energy. It isn’t good, it isn’t bad. But it has amplified everything in its wake. It created a situation where anything good in our life becomes heightened, just as anything challenging also gets heightened.
When energy spikes like that, anyone “on the edge” is more likely to topple. So it hasn't surprised me to hear of an increase in deaths and illnesses. But even for those of us who walk a grounded and centred path, it’s like being in the eye of the storm.
It takes all of our strength, our balance and our presence to stay upright.
I managed to stay relatively balanced for about two weeks, and then I toppled. I knew it had happened. And once I was caught in that storm, I was lost. For days, I didn’t feel like myself. In fact, I couldn’t “find” me amidst the whirlpool of energy. I withdrew from everything and everyone, unable to find my "norm". For days, everything was turmoil…….
And then there was calm. The tidal wave had passed, and most of us had survived (albeit a bit the worse for wear).
But it wasn’t a good calm. It wasn’t like we were back to “how things were” before the tidal wave. That huge blast of energy had stirred a whole lot of things up, and those “things” were rising to the surface like a bubbling cauldron.
When I described it to friends, I said, “It’s like we’ve just been hit by this huge tidal wave. Now it’s passed, but we’re still in the ocean, and we’re swimming in all this detritus that’s been released by the tidal wave.”
I found myself plagued with self-doubt and self-condemnation. My most negative thoughts about myself had been flushed out, and I was swimming in them, and it was bloody uncomfortable!
But it helps when we know what’s really going on.
It helped me so much to realise that these weren’t just random persistent negative thoughts.
I knew what had happened. I knew I was experiencing the aftermath of an “energy bomb” on our Planet, and that allowed me to witness my thoughts without giving them unnecessary credence.
Whenever I feel off balance, whenever I feel disconnected from my centred and clear-headed Self, I ramp up my self care.
I reached out to Spirit. “How can I best support myself at this time?” I asked. The answer that I received was 3 simple steps:
- Become consistent with my 7 Oil Ritual (as I’d “fallen off the wagon” with it when the tidal wave had hit)
- Plant my bum in the ground each day (ie. Earthing). It’s amazing how anchoring that is, and how excess energy can be released into the ground where it can be transmuted.
- Increase my self-nurturing (so I’ve carved out more time for myself, and have been giving myself Reiki sessions of a morning, or essential oil anointing of an evening)
But it’s not quite over.
How do I know this? It’s by witnessing the world around me, and feeling the energy within me.
A week ago I headed away for 5 days in Perth, teaching some essential oil events. Two days ago I was at the airport in Perth about to fly home, when I received a call from my friend who lives with me.
Her beautiful python who has the run of the main bathroom in my home had managed to turn the tap on in the vanity basin.
She’s done that twice before.
Once in the bathtub (where we caught it just as the bath was overflowing), and another time with the vanity taps (where I found her calmly bathing herself in the water as it ran into the bowl.)
We weren’t so lucky this time.
Despite child-proof caps over the taps in the bath and cylindrical covers around the vanity taps, this clever python managed to push one of the cylindrical covers aside and….somehow….she then managed to turn the tap on and create so much water that the vanity basin flooded and the tidal wave went over the bathroom floor and out through that whole half of my home, into the bedroom, storage room, hallway and garage.
Big extractor fans and carpet cleaners have been brought in so we can protect the home from water damage and mould.
But this type of event is very much in keeping with the energy of the past month. Instead of getting molehills to navigate, we’re getting mountains.
And when that happens, the only place where our power lies is in our attitude.
I can’t change what happened, because it’s already occurred. I can’t turn the clock back. I could look at this situation and see it as terrible….or I can have a belly laugh that my Goddaughter Lillith (the amazingly talented Jungle Jag python) must have really loved the tepid baths we’ve been giving her, and decided that she’s now old enough to fill her own bathtub with water and take a soak herself…..except that this time the “bathtub” happens to be half of my house.
She certainly is one clever snake, and I’m grateful my friend was home at the time, or the damage could have been much worse.
Is my cup half full or half empty? Am I seeing the silver lining on every dark cloud? That’s up to me to decide.
