Earth Turbulence / Emotional Turbulence

In the past week the Earth has experienced two 7+ grade earthquakes (Vanuatu and Afghanistan) and the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall (Mexico). Sending out lots of prayers, and our thoughts to all affected.

These Earth-events, regardless of their cause, are increasingly felt by us the more energetically sensitive we become. Around a week ago, I posted about the extreme turbulence a lot of people were experiencing emotionally, with heightened feelings of anxiety and general off-centredness. Then, interestingly enough, this was followed by three significant, turbulent weather events.

Were we energetically picking up on the coming weather events, much in the same way that animals can sense a storm, earthquake or tsunami coming?

Or, were we energetically responding to some unknown influence, be it some disturbance in the cosmic field or some man-made weather tampering, that as a result had us feeling on edge, and gave the Earth a shake and a stir?

These days, I don't think any of us can be sure of anything anymore as multiple layers of reality are unravelling at warp speed. What I do know is, we are sensitive beings, increasingly so. We are responding in greater ways, emotionally, physically and energetically to everything around us. Not just to that in our immediate environment, but also to those things that are happening on the other side of the world.

It's a Full Moon today. Most people no longer question the effect a Full Moon has on us, yet can still find it hard to believe that we would be affected by something we can't see. The reality of energy influence and sensitivity may seem like woo woo crazy talk to much of the mainstream, but then so would the idea of television, radio, internet, texting and instagram to people in our relatively recent history.

Instant connection. "But how???!!!" they would have said.

Just as those things above are our now normal, so will energy reality and awareness take its place as our new normal. Sometimes we may not know why we are feeling as we do, but it can be helpful to know that thousands if not millions of others are feeling the exact same way.

How are you all feeling?

Earth on the move

"A massive block of Earth's crust, roughly 75 miles long (120km) and 37 miles (60km) wide, lurched 10 feet (3m) to the south Saturday over the course of 30 seconds. Riding atop this block of the planet was the capital of Nepal – Kathmandu – and millions of Nepalese." - What a description of Saturday's earthquake by University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham, a world-renowned expert on Himalayan earthquakes.

In recent days there has been, and continues to be, a lot of volcanic and seismic activity along with some extraordinary extreme weather events* and land movements**. It feels like Earth is exhaling, expanding, cracking open layers of her old skin as her new form emerges, releasing energy in the process.

In some areas, either where the infrastructure is sturdy, or the activity ends up being relatively low, buildings and homes receive minimal impact. In other areas, like Nepal and Vanuatu, where a high grade event merges with simply built homes, shops and structures, the devastation is huge. 

We are praying tonight for all those, in affected regions or otherwise, who are without food, warmth or shelter that those things find their way to them. Thank you to the humanitarian workers who are always there on the ground helping.

Please post links in the comments section to any reputable donation fund that can help someone in need right now. If you know other ways to help, please post those links or ideas too. Thank you x

Earth Changes: Cleansing and Gratitude trump Fear

Two themes are emerging in almost every conversation I've had or overheard in the aftermath of this week's Sydney/Central Coast/Hunter storms: Cleansing and Gratitude. People are saying they feel as if a big cleansing has happened, and how grateful they felt this week for any small thing: some warmth, candlelight, a hot shower at a friend's house.

Over the years people have often written expressing concern about potential Earth Changes events. What I've written about that topic in the past is that our fear of a future event is usually vastly different to the reality. 

Our fear imagines something with the worst possible most scary scenario where we feel totally helpless and powerless. Yet history alone shows us that humans are resilient. Whatever comes our way we deal with it as it happens - sometimes it may feel like you are in a surreal bubble, not quite realising what has happened until it has happened. Our energy has a way of protecting us during the reality of something, that our projected fears have no way of doing.

Our fear lens doesn't show us all the positive things that are happening simultaneously during extreme events, weather or otherwise. It doesn't show the support that shows up right when we need it. The peacefulness and calm that arises in both you and others. The normalcy of day to day life that continues right along side the chaos.

We are on a living planet and while the jury is still out regarding which global weather event is natural vs which has been influenced and even created by humans, the fact remains we are on a living planet. She moves, she breathes. She shakes, she quakes. She storms and floods. She burns and erupts. She doesn't really care that we have power lines or jobs to go to. Not her problem. She shifts, she transforms, she purifies, she sheds, she cleanses. That's what Earth has done for billions of years and will continue to do.

I think it is a good and healthy thing for us to be reminded that we live on a living planet. If it makes us more grateful, more appreciative, more humble, more patient, more inclined to take care of our planet, our selves and each other, then things like Earth Changes events are ultimately a positive thing. I think it is good to be reminded that life isn't guaranteed or forever. It makes you stop and think: am I living life in the way I want to be living it? It makes you reflect on your priorities. None of this dismisses the devastation that occurs....rather, we can honour that devastation by emerging with some new insight or wisdom gained.

Sending prayers to all who need them tonight x
