IN A FEAR-BASED WORLD love EMBODYING
I’ve noticed a lot of you are feeling sensitive to the times we're in. You're feeling uncertain or sensing turbulence around you And you’re not wrong!
Our culture is incredibly harsh for highly sensitive people and Empaths We are constantly bombarded by fear in our media - whether it’s war, the economy, or politics, there’s always a new ‘breaking story’ that keeps us frozen to our TVs The vibrational undercurrents of fear can be overwhelming and can quickly seep into every facet of our lives. We all know how dangerous it is to live in a state of stress so imagine how damaging these high doses are to us sensitive people! I know that our capacity to feel deeply is a profound gift, yet I can’t deny it comes with its own set of trials
In this toolkit, we will work to acknowledge the challenges we face in this harsh world and let this awareness become the catalyst for transformation, a force capable of transmuting fear into compassion! In this fear-based world, you are not alone; your empathic soul is needed more than ever. By navigating this challenging terrain with love as your compass, you become an alchemist of transformation, weaving threads
1 Reframe ~ Fear and Love coexist, but which will you pick?: Understand that fear and love coexist, creating a delicate dance within our lives. Fear often arises from the illusions of separation or ‘other’, while love is the unifying force that transcends all boundaries Recognize this dance, and with each step, choose love as your partner.
It was this realization during my NDE that saved my life! I understood that up until that point, I had been living a fear based life, and making all my choices from a place of fear instead of love. So, If you are caught in a scary thought how can you reframe it?
For example, if you feel that “the world is an unsafe place” how about practicing looking for the beauty that surrounds you the kindness in a stranger's smile, the warmth of the sun on your face, the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind.
In every moment, love is present, patiently waiting for you to acknowledge its omnipresence.
Remember that you are not a mere observer but an active co-creator of your reality. Choose to contribute your energy to the creation of a world bathed in love, compassion, and understanding By radiating love, you become a beacon of light, dispelling the shadows of fear that may cloud your perception
2. Embrace Your Essence:
When I was on the other side, everything that had previously consumed me with anxiety, every embarrassment I had fixated on or worry that had kept me up late into the night was suddenly so ridiculous! I knew that in truth nothing that happens is ‘bad’, even the worst thing that can happen to us - death - isn’t actually negative or frightening, because we are so much more than this person we play, day to day. .
So, let’s all acknowledge that we are more than just this physical form.
Now, pause and take a moment to connect with the core of your being Breathe in the truth that you are love incarnate, a unique expression of the universal energy that binds us all. As you embrace your essence, remember your divinity and repeat this mantra, “I let love be the tapestry that weaves my story.”
3 The Power of Forgiveness:
Release the shackles of resentment and anger through with the power of forgiveness Understand that forgiveness is not condoning actions but freeing yourself from the burden of carrying negative energy. As you forgive, you pave the way for love to heal and restore.
4. Celebrate Diversity:
In our collective journey, honor the rich tapestry of diversity that colors our world Recognize that every soul is a unique expression of love Embrace differences as a source of enrichment, for love knows no boundaries and sees the unity that underlies all existence.
Throughout the day, allow yourself moments of gratitude for the little things, and appreciate what you do to bring joy When you can find the time, engage in practices that nourish your soul – be it meditation, affirmations, or moments of stillness. From time to time, look straight into your eyes in the mirror, and truly see the beautiful soul that you are.
Embracing self-love is the foundation upon which the edifice of universal love can stand tall
6 Release Limiting Beliefs:
Identify the whispers of fear that echo in your mind as limiting beliefs. Maybe they served a purpose once (most of our limiting beliefs stem from a survival instinct, but instead end up limiting us! I know this from first hand experience from almost dying), but now is the time to challenge these notions, for they are illusions that veil the brilliance of your true self. Practice releasing these old beliefs and replacing them with affirmations rooted in love, reminding yourself of the boundless potential that resides within You are much more powerful than you have been led to believe.
7 Presence and Mindfulness:
The present moment is a portal to love, so engage in mindfulness practices that anchor you in the now and get you into your body. Dancing, or listening to music are two of my favorite ways to do this but even breathing works! Try it now. As you breathe in with awareness, let love flow through every inhale and exhale…
In the tapestry of the present, fear dissipates, leaving space for love to flourish
8. Radiate Love in Relationships
:
Nurture your connections with others by radiating love Approach relationships with an open heart, free from judgment and expectations Whether it’s a familial relationship, a friendship, or the person in the call center helping you with your internet connection, listen with empathy, speak with kindness, and let the love you embody become a bridge that unites hearts.
9 Navigate Challenges with Love:
Life's journey is sprinkled with challenges, but remember, each obstacle is an opportunity for growth. Embrace difficulties with a love-infused perspective As you navigate the storm, give gratitude for the things that are working in your life and know that your soul, your higher self is always with you, protecting and guiding you. In the view of the other side, you are always safe and held
