Trust
One of the biggest shifts I’ve witnessed is finding a sense of resilience in relating with others with a negative mindset. It can be challenging, particularly for empaths and introverts to not take on another persons energy. I’ve often become triggered into pessimism especially when I would shut myself down because I was in defence to what they were doing and how they were being. More and more I am able to maintain my flow, to let people be themselves without judgement and tune in to what really matters. This engenders a sense of trust, presence and a cultivation of openness.
Rainbow Turtle, Golden Dolphin Almost Complete
Wow what a journey, all the artwork for the illustrated book Rainbow Turtle, Golden Dolphin was just finished last weekend. Incredible! It’s been 3 years in the making and now it’s nearing completion.
This image on the left is from the last few final pages.
It represents a shift into a new way of living here on earth. The military can be seen discarding no longer needed weaponry and dismantling bombs that no longer serve a purpose.
Birds are flying out of the a bank building with the word economy written upon it, the door is a safe that is open. Symbolically representing a freed economy. An elephant is running free from a city zoo and all the people are migrating away from the city to return to live in nature. The hungry are fed and the poor are being given money.
People are now finding powerful ways to connect to the land and to themselves.
Seeing Challenge as an Opportunity
Staying present in the journey remains paramount. There is nothing more valuable than persistence. Persistence of-course with flexibility. Without the two, I doubt the book would be coming to completion in the way that it is.
Still anxiety visits. Thoughts about what’s next. The mind comes in and wants to know all the things to feel secure, to iron out any reasons for insecurity. Yet, there is only what can be taken care of in the present that supports a shift.
Anxiety arrives when I am not able to rest in the present. When my attention drifts into the future and wonders what may go wrong. Always, things flow when I let go and allow what serves to take place.
Embodying the Full Spectrum
An epiphany opened up as I realised that, contrary to my fears, I am not reduced or lessened when those I love in my life are no longer in my life or their love is withdrawn. As these changes appear and I am without the company of loved ones, it is my identity that feels threatened, but this is not who I really am.
