The past week unveiled atrocities that left many, including myself, feeling a whirlwind of emotions: fear, sadness, shock, and an overarching sense of heartbreak. On top of the global grief, I received news of other tragedies that shook my core, stirring up my deepest fears. Navigating through this landscape of sorrow was, to put it lightly, challenging.
However, in these moments of profound pain, I held onto certain beliefs and practices that grounded me. I share this not as a universal blueprint but as an intimate glimpse into my soul's toolkit, hoping that perhaps someone might find solace or resonance.
1. Deep Solidarity and Love: I feel profound compassion and love for those who are suffering intensely right now. It's natural that, in crisis situations, personal fears and the apprehension that such tragedies might directly affect us arise. However, to navigate those fears, I've found solace in recognizing that each of us has our own journey and challenges. Instead of letting myself be consumed by fear, I choose to believe that I learn through love, and that my days of learning through pain are behind me. That said, my heart extends to all those who are directly living this pain, and I want them to know they are held, supported, and loved in every thought and prayer.
2. Vibrating Love and Gratitude: as energetic beings, we attract what we vibrate. Thus, in these tumultuous times, I've aimed to focus on feelings of love and gratitude. Being alive, being here, having the ability to experience and express love: these have been my anchors. In this storm, my most potent beacon has been the belief that shining my light of love and positivity is the best way I can contribute to global healing.
3. Perspective on Pain: It might sound counterintuitive, but I genuinely feel that those around me benefit more from my love than from shared sorrow or anger. While empathy is crucial, I believe the world heals more from shared strength and hope than from shared despair.
4. Our Eternal Essence: Lastly, a belief that might not resonate with everyone but has been instrumental for me: We are all souls having a temporary earthly experience. Our true essence is spiritual, not merely human. The challenges, the pain, the highs, and lows, are all transient experiences designed for our soul's evolution. I personally envision returning to a realm of unity, where souls coexist in harmony, after our earthly journey.
Now, this last belief is deeply personal, and I understand it might not align with everyone's worldview. And that's okay. It's crucial to find what grounds us individually.
In these times, as the ground beneath us might seem unstable, it's our personal beliefs and practices that can provide some semblance of stability. My heart is with all who are suffering, and I hope you find your unique compass to guide you through this storm. 🖤
