Taking care of energetic fields
Our purpose on earth is to take care of ourselves. To protect our energetic fields and fulfill our destiny. But what about other peoples’ fields? What about our kids and partners and siblings and partners? Where does their energy play a part in the cosmic journey? They are here to remind us of how incredibly connected we are. We are a collective human consciousness that are here to do things together and serve the greater purpose (jury’s still out on what that really is). But that certainly does not mean we sacrifice the greater good of OURSELVES to do it. The collective is only as strong as its individuals so here is a quick list on how to protect ourselves from burning out in order to light up others in our lives:
1) enjoy the present moment - this one is hard for people (women) that are so used to wearing different hats, anticipating fires and putting them out at the same damn time. We are here not to get sick at the hand of someone else’s well being. We are here to protect and provide for each other but only when we have done that ourselves. So when you workout next, slow down and take in the lyrics or words of what you’re listening to. When you’re on your lunch break, stare out into space. Anything that allows for you to be here, now.
2) you are worthy of silence - this is a tough one too (there might be a pattern here) considering how connected we all are on social media, the internet, AI (Claude is honestly so great, yes I’ve fallen into his trap), and everything else. But because there is so much noise, we deserve to give ourselves a bit of silence. Whether that means to journal or meditate or just hide from the screaming, sticky kids for a little bit in the bathroom (think Charlotte from SATC). We need it, our brains require it and we are worthy of it.
3) move - our bodies are our temples, they are special, resilient and absolutely gorgeous vessels of truth and we can’t hide anymore on how much just 5 minutes of walking, running, lifting, dancing can change our minds, states and lives. It’s obvious, get up and go. And if you run a right ship, move around a lot naturally because of how chronically busy you are this is not permission to do it more. This is a delicate reminder that you are needing the type of movement that feeds you, not drains you.
These are simple and there are so many more points I can make but THE point is - you are energetic bodies and beings (we are!) and we deserve to be there for the people we love but not at the expense of ourselves. Point blank - no matter what the ads and media and quite frankly EVERYONE might tell you, you aren’t selfish, it is self preservation. I love you.
See you next time.
