When your outer world gets upside-down, it is time to go inwards and explore the deeper wisdom that resides in the depths of our being.
After reading non-stop apocalyptic media headlines, refreshing in my mind a hundred and one homeopathic and herbal remedies that may help with viral pneumonia, scanning through all the supplements I know for viral conditions, I finally felt that it was time to go inward.
In order to calm down a bit, I put myself on a couple of days of hard-core news-diet and social-media isolation. On day three I felt ready and asked a hypnotherapist colleague to take me on a hypnotic journey to meet with my higher self. Usually, I can easily connect on my own, but at the time of inner turmoil, it is better to have some help. This type of hypnotherapy session connects a client with her inner wisdom, her inner being, also called higher self, the higher mind, etc.
I prepared a list of questions, most of them seeking the meaning of the current events for my personal life journey and the ways to overcome the slew of negative emotions that came up for me due to the abrupt changes in the recent weeks.
Here are some of the insights that came up for me in the session:
Masha: How can I make sense of what is happening in the world right now?
Higher Self: A shift is happening, a clearing out. Those shifts happened before in separate parts of the world. Right now, the energy is amplified since it is happening everywhere at the same time. Instead of rushing and running, people are looking inside, re-evaluating their lives, looking at who and what is around them, observing where they are. They are now ready to value more what they have because they have lost many things. After some time, things will go back to how they were before, but the world will never be the same. Spiritual learning happens during times of stress and highly charged emotional states. Now is the time of great learning.
This event is not as cataclysmic as world wars of the last century were, but almost as influential.
Masha: How can I deal with the constant small losses and restrictions that come up for me daily?
Higher Self: Look at the bigger picture, look at what you have, look at how much you have, look at the endless resources available to you. You know that when one door closes for you, another one opens up.
You have to develop the “Art of learning to turn with the tide of what is going on.”
Look inside, you might find something else that is wonderful. Expect something wonderful. If you lost something, expect something better. Life is about shifting and learning. You are already learning very quickly to deal with emotions that come up for you. Expect gradual changes. Start looking at something that interests you and it will grow for you. It will be a big shift in a new direction. Look at the creative and artistic activities. Your life will turn towards something interesting. Focus your energy on your interests.
Masha: How do I move out of the “poor me “mentality?
Higher Self: This is your choice. You can forget about restrictions and just look for new things you enjoy doing what is available to you right now and be happy. Alternatively, you can pour your energy into the “poor me” vortex. Follow something you enjoy doing. Don’t think about getting sick, losing your job, falling stock markets. Look forward to what you want to do, forget your fear.
I did this session two weeks ago. Since then, I did follow the advice of my higher self. Things started to look brighter, new possibilities are gradually opening, some of them very exciting.
If you are looking for inner spiritual meaning of what is going on for you, give me a call, I will be happy to guide you to meet with your Higher Self.
