Quieting the mind is no small feat especially given all the chaos which has been erupting as of late.
Patience wears thin.
Stress levels rise.
People are at odds with those they were once simpatico.
Cats on a hot tin roof.
The plug or energetic connection is plugged in then disconnected, then plugged in again and disconnected again.
The disconnection is unsettling and frustrating.
So, what’s a person to do?
We have been through it all – six ways to Sunday and back.
How did we survive?
What makes you think we did?
While some may have, others did not.
You may want to hear from those who did or from those who did not or several in between.
We all have our unique point of view and we all, all of us, are exactly where we are destined to be.
You’ve heard this before and you’ll hear it again.
It’s all about connection. And connecting to your inner balance is essential.
There are too many ways for one to get knocked off balance. The easiest is to not have your own thoughts or beliefs and to acquiesce to the thoughts and beliefs of the loudest voice in the room.
You must tune into your own thoughts, beliefs, values, and morals and anchor yourself with those. Become unflappable. Do not surrender in advance.
Tap into your own strength and waver not. Falter not.
That is a sound, stable beginning. And it is from within that space and place that you will become centered and balanced.
Begin there. We will guide you in your next step.
