Just about at the end of my rope
The increase in energy has really frazzled me, and it seems to make the people around me manic. This week I've had several mishaps at work--a coworker undid my work at setting up the Education Center for Thermal Imaging; our telephone system is under revision which has meant no phones with no warning and me having to literally run back up the mountain to home to call and find out what was going on; a two hour power outage; me messing up protocol with a new patient; everyone else going home early and leaving me with the phone repair crew (which lead to 10 hour workday for me). And then last night coming home, hoping for a restful evening and finding out yahoo is getting rid of geocities so I have to find a new home for my various websites.

I usually fall asleep within about ten minutes of going to bed--last night the energy was such that it took hours, and it took all my concentration and breathing practices not to fall into complete despair. I know a lot of this is a test to see if I can stay in the place of peace and not take things so personally, and part is the enormous amount of energy flying around right now. But I need some form of respite!

Any thoughts on when this energy surge will subside a bit, or suggestions on how I can better ride its wave?

Thanks in advance.

14. They did calm down a bit today
The frantic energy subsided, much like what happens during a rainstorm. Still a lot of energy, but I was better able to "ride" it today, and not get so irritated. I think knowing of your thoughts and good wishes really helped.

2. Very sorry to hear of this series
of events, Ayeshahaqqiqa :hug: Can you take an emergency day off? Many times just stepping away to be yourself fully again can break the pattern and bring about a more manageable flow. You really do deserve it. Huh? People going home early? You deserve a little of that too, dag nabit! :)

3. I might well do that Tuesday
I'm the only one on staff on Monday, so have to be here. But Tuesday, if I'm not feeling better, will be a day off. Thanks for your concern!

4. I second that! :)
You absolutely deserve it. You know that, but it's still a nice reminder. :)

I just did something I never do: I sat outside for 10 minutes.

The computer crisis of the last few weeks is finally under control, but like you, Ayesha, things still feel out of control (or immobile...it's one extreme or the other lately...lol), so I took myself out of the equation for a bit. :)

Maybe you can do the same, as atypical as it may be for you.

I send you abundant hugs of support and encouragement to breathe deeply and allow the world to whirl around you without sucking you in until you can gain your bearings again.

Hugs to you, Kind of Blue, and Everyone....:hug: :hug: :hug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

15. It went better today
Energy still high, but a bit more contained. I wasn't nearly as rankled at what others did--and didn't feel so bad when I messed up.

Knowing someone is out there rooting for me means a great deal.

16. You really helped
Today went a lot better--energy was still high, but not as wild--and my reactions to what happened more calm. Knowing your thoughts and wishes were out there was an anchor for me today, and really helped!

7. Gosh, I know exactly how you feel...
between this increase in energy and my new living environment (can't call my home yet) I too, am about to pull my hair out:banghead:

Hang in there:hug:

Did you feel a change today? The energy was still high, but wasn't as disorganized and frantic. That's how it was for me today.

8. aw, can you give yourself a big break this weekend?
Just tuck in somewhere, by a lake or top of mountain or someplace soothing? :hug:

(personally, I find myself swinging between schoolwork, homework, apathy and rage. Only half of which are helpful, lol.)

18. Well, I live halfway up a mountain
so it wouldn't be too hard to get to the top....but I think I'll go into the valley to town instead and do some shopping for gifts for the grandbabies. My husband will be going to Charleston SC next week to see them. My brother-in-law has offered him a ride as far as Asheville NC, and hubby is hoping his son (my step-son) will be able to pick him up from there.

9. Instead of running up that hill, you should have walked not run ;=D
Taking the time to catch your breath, enjoy the scenery and getting a small amount of Ayesha time. You deserve to have some down time if only in small spurts. I'm sending you some white light for the time being :hug:

19. Ah, so THAT is where the peaceful feeling came from!
Things were more peaceful for me today, even though the energy was just as strong as it has been. Thanks for sending the light!

10. On top of everything else
going on in the heavens, this "silent sun" is interesting. The odd change in the regular 11 year solar storm cycle.

The solar flares affect telecommunications, which is announced in the news/papers when big ones happen. We're all told to mind our electronics/etc. but not notice that we too are electromagnetic...... ;)

The period of buildup before the flares can have the kind of effect you're describing.

Let's see if there's a flare within a few weeks....

Best to you. Be glad you can run up that mountain. :hug:

20. Oh my goodness!
We had a couple of people calling the office on cell phones today and they were interrupted by other people's calls bleeding in! This could be what is happening!

And yes, we are electromagnetic--you may wish to check out this article about a different form of energy medicine we use at the Foundation that works with this energy in our body:

11. Although this may seem on the silly side, consider some imagery
.
.
.

There are usually TWO ends to a rope.

Put yourself where you want to be;

and sleep well . .

21. Now that's a good idea
I think I'll visualize myself asleep on a coil of soft rope. That sounds good right now!

12. suggestions.
Hello, Ay. Whenever energy is moving, moreso when it's rampant, I ask people if their crown chakras are open. If you don't know, you can do that by asking, telling, seeing, whatever. Then saying thank you. They shut down whenever you're afraid or under stress, however, you can open them as above as often as necessary.

Then, there's surrendering, well, everything to (your favorite deity here) and asking for things becoming manageable for you. Stuff like that which I'm sure you're aware of.

13. thanks for the reminder
I know that under stress I forget to breathe. And I know that when I go into breathing practice, the crown chakra opens up and stays open. In fact. that is how I was able to finally get some sleep last night--I went into meditative breathing.

But one question, since you know of chakras--one thing that was keeping me awake last night was light coming strongly from my third eye. It literally lit up a darkened room. Any ideas what this energy is, or what it means? Thanks!

24. yeah ....
It means your third eye is open. It means you can transcend time, distance and dimenstion and look at stuff. This comes to mind as a way of lessening its intensity - putting your awareness, that is, seeing, in effect, from other chakras since each has its own sight, so to speak and results in chakra specific information coming in and going out. This can also show you on what levels your mind is working.

Or, you might be able to get some relief from focusing on sky energy, the energy above the ground. That tends to lighten things for me and (whatever's in) the space I'm in. None of this may change the light you saw.

All of this with your crown open.

26. Thanks for this information
I think I know what the problem is--you see I get this when I'm in my bedroom. I'm staying in a basement apartment, and the bedroom has no windows--it is the part sunk in the ground. Could be a way for my spirit to balance out the very strong earth energy there. At least that makes sense.

But I will try seeing with the other chakras. I know some are blocked, so maybe this will help open them (along with a Qi Gong exercise I'm doing).

Running, running, running...

Hang in there ayesha, something's got to give sooner or later. :hug:

25. My Thursday was crazy, too, Ayesha..
So many disruptions, constant fires cropping up to put out, & a multitude of demands on me all day long.
Weird, goofy stuff that is out of the ordinary. In an ironic conclusion though, I ended up HAVING TO TAKE FRIDAY OFF because of a problem w/dr appt scheduled in AM, but canceled by doc after my day was over. I decided it was the Universe "taking care of me" & gave in to the much need break from all the chaos! Although I spent most of this "day off" doing work at home, it still allowed me to remove myself from the society-at-large & other people's wild energy patterns.

I feel much better & hope that Monday will not just pick up where Thursday left off.

I think we ALL need a rest. Hope you get yours on Tuesday. :fistbump:

29. Hang in dear one; you won't want to miss 2012 and beyond
if folks like Karen Bishop are correct!

I'll pray for you and yours. Be strong, or ask for strength. Now is the time for gifts, so don't be afraid to ask for help regarding that which you cannot do for yourself!
