So, it’s a new year, right? I know the calendar says that, but it feels a lot like last year (and don’t even go there about the pandemic years). What is happening, really?
I think many of us feel the same way. We all hoped last year would be better (how could it be worse than the pandemic?), but it ended up being a difficult, up/down year. Lots happened, and yet nothing really felt like it changed in most areas. And now this year is starting with a rinse and repeat energy. When are things going to get better?
Yes, things are challenging right now, and the horizon looks grim. What’s worse, it is affecting us – directly in our hearts, our energy, in our souls. That is the bad news, and that is the good news.
Bad News First
I believe we are all opening to being more aware of what is happening. We are more sensitive, more fully feeling what energy we (we as people in this world, in our different societies) are putting out there.
Feels like it would be better if we stopped feeling so much and went back to ‘normal’, right? Well, you can do that, but you’d miss out on a lot of what is coming, and you’d really miss out on making a difference (yes, really).
There is a lot shifting right now. Energy changes of a magnitude we haven’t seen in hundreds of years are starting to manifest in our world, and in our lives. And sadly, this is sometimes painful. Some old is reluctantly passing and some new is struggling to come in, and we all feel differently and maybe confused or frightened about this. So, what can you do, how do you handle this, and most, how do you make a difference?
Now Some Good News
There is good news with all this. I mentioned earlier, what happens is affecting us personally – that we feel it all deeply in our hearts and souls. Well, that energy can and does flow both ways. How you respond, how you act will also affect the energy around you.
While it may seem like a small pebble trying to make a big wave, it’s really much, much more. Each act of love, each laugh, each smile, each kindness makes a difference. A small light in a very dark room will be bright indeed, and so what you do matters. Smile when you wake up. Greet the dawn, embrace the sunset. Do one small act of gentle love each day. Those things add up, quickly, and will start to even out the tension we have right now.
I won’t say things are going to change overnight (thankfully! That would be very stressful), but for you, it will make a difference, and that difference will spread quickly to those around you as well. Embrace that love still matters in this world, and that it has more power than anything; as you realize this, you will feel it growing in you and around you.
