Those feelings are not yours
Aug 23, 2021
Story
Today I awoke feeling anxious. You know that the clawing feeling, that gnawing deep inside the burning in the solar plexus.
And instantly I wanted to drop out, numb out, escape.
And old me would have. I would have started an argument with my husband to distract me, I would have rolled over and gone back to sleep to avoid it all together, I would have pushed through and got super busy doing something mind numbing like clearing out the linen closest.
But this version of me.
This version of me KNOWS that this is not even really me, these are not even my feelings.
I just happen to be feeling them because the collective is, and my gift, my treat, my birthright as an empath is that I get to feel it all.
Now the old empath me would have had some hefty woe is me going on about HAVING to feel all this shit, and can’t the world just farking wake up already.
But not any more, these days I know why I GET to feel these feelings,
I get to feel these feelings because I have been GIFTED, blessed with, born with…a gift to DO something about it.
What a damn surprise that was when I finally accepted it all those years ago.
At thirty I was furious that I had been duped into thinking I was weird, abnormal, a freak for even having the ability let alone the skills along side the feelings.
But know I just accept the ‘foggy days’ as part of the experience, part of the journey. Just as the butterfly must bear the strain and struggle of getting its fat little body out of the cocoon, so the ‘guts’ of it can be pushed out into those beautiful wings so that they can fly – so to our trials and tribulations led us to the EXACT FRIGGIN SKILL SET AND TOOLS that we need right now.
Honestly, sometimes it blows my mind!
The divine timing.
The clues we left for ourselves, for our ascension.
The (not) coincidences.
The signs are everywhere.
If you had told me even 15 years ago that I would welcome the dark days, the fog, the pain – I would’ve told you to eff off already.
Living in the light, seeing the world for what it really is, is pure beauty, pure delight. And getting to contribute to the change, to bringing in even more light is beyond description.
It is life.
I am feeling the collective burn today – but I also get to celebrate because I just got shown the most beautiful way forward for the world – and because I have chosen to bravely step up and do the work I was born to do, I get to DO SOMETHING with those feelings instead of hiding away and feeling miserable all day long.
