Shifting

Whether you know you are sensitive or think you are not, we are all being impacted by the intense cosmic energies right now. Between Spring Equinox (19th) and the Full Moon Eclipse (on the 25th), we are all feeling it.

These energies are meant to pull you out of your shadow, as well as pull your shadows out of you. This is how we are transforming and elevating our consciousness. We are letting go of the old (old paradigms, fears, behaviours, false beliefs, traumas, etc) to make room for the new higher vibrations (feelings, people, experiences, etc) to come in.

Yesterday morning I was completely squirreling. I don't remember the last time I felt like that. I could not think straight or stay focused. I was overwhelmed by the tasks of the day, which were not huge tasks by any account.

I decided to meditate to settle myself and clear my brain, and I couldn't even get that done. It took me about 10mins to even get into the meditation; my mental hamster would not get off the wheel, I could not get my body to take a deep relaxing breath, and I was agitated for no reason. Once I did kind of get into it, I only lasted about 5mins in it because I was just over it not being as easy as it usually is.

At this point I knew how I was feeling was not because of me, so to speak; it wasn't anything I had done. If you are feeling that chaotic discomfort, it's because you are transforming. I knew I was being affected by the cosmic energies, even though I did not know exactly what was healing, or how long it would last. Those energies were pulling stuff out of me so it could be processed and released, creating space for the higher vibration.

Even though I was uncomfortable, I surrendered. I accepted whatever was happening. I accepted that I was not going to accomplish everything I thought I was going to that day. I did enough and did not beat myself up for whatever was not done. I also made sure to chug some water.

I slowly started to feel a little more normal, but I also didn't rush back into get-shit-done-mode just because I was. And the best part was, despite going to bed late last night, I woke up feeling so much lighter and in a fabulous mood!!!

This is what "shifting" looks like. We shift from one "level" to another. We release the old stuff (the lower vibration fears, emotions, etc) from within us that has been holding us at that level. This process allows us to then "level up", to raise our awareness and get into a higher consciousness (which feels lighter, more peaceful and joyous). This is the healing process and we are all experiencing it right now in one way or another.

The resulting higher vibration increases our awareness, our intuition, our connection with ourselves and the Universe, as well as now attracting other high vibe things, people and emotions to us. But we have to go through the process. We cannot bypass the discomfort, nor are we meant to.

During these times we can experience ascension symptoms; feeling like time is speeding up or not knowing what day it is, moments of mental fog or forgetfulness, seeing repeating patterns or sequences of numbers, headaches, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, moments of clarity or greater self-understanding, ringing in your ears, vivid dreams or meditations, wanting to be on your own to reconnect with yourself and nature, feeling overly sensitive to other's energy and emotions, feeling heavy about the world but more connected to the Universe, odd aches, and the list goes on.

Know that if you are feeling any of this discomfort, that you are raising your vibration. You are healing and leveling up. Just take care of yourself while you are riding the wave of ascension.
