Absolutely Everything
This started as a ‘catching up’ note to my Patrons, who usually receive daily magical energy information and tips from me, as well as previews of blogs and more. It would be wonderful if you would like to join us. Information is at the end of the blog.
I have not posted on Patreon, or anywhere else really, in several days. Vertigo and Migraines kept flowing in and out like the tides. Allergy season is heavy this year and affecting many of us in ways that scope beyond the typical runny eyes and nose. I apologized to my subscribers for having been incapacitated but it truly was out of my control. I am immensely grateful for their patience, compassion, humanity, and understanding.
I have been trying to push through and accomplish every day ... and success on some days is getting the dishes washed while on others it is sharing a few social media posts, and on others it is not falling when I tentatively walk to the restroom.
Externally it has not been a very productive time.
Internally it has been scary, depressing, full of self blame (come on can't you pull it together to wash a coffee cup or post that Mars rules Tuesday? sheesh!), and HIGHLY contemplative.
I always do my best to use every experience I have, for growth and deeper understanding. That sounds like new age mumbo jumbo that you can find on a 'fortune' in a cookie or teabag tag but it is, I feel, what we are SUPPOSED to be doing every step of the way in life. Things - even migraines - do not happen arbitrarily, so even when caused by a mundane factor, there is always some deeper take away that we can pull from the experience. Something should come from everything, otherwise why did it even happen?
As vertigo took me for a spin, I tried to grasp onto anything 'solid' even mentally to ground and be still with. Realizing that the list of who or what is steadying to you, has shrunk down to a wobbly little list, is an important thing to recognize and acknowledge. Deeper still is the question of what inside of me, was making life around me feel chaotically out of hand, rushing past at break neck speed? In reality when we are dizzy, other things are not moving any differently than they normally do; it is how we perceive, feel, process, and react that is all a'tizzy, so on a spiritual/emotional/psychological level - what us feeling like that in response to life? Earlier or later that day we may not feel off kilter even with circumstances being the same, so what, at a given time creates an inner tornado?
When a migraine is pounding, I refuse to get swallowed by the pain even as it immobilizes me. What do I mean?? Yes the pain often is excruciating, all consuming, and yes it can have me bedridden even, but as I lay there I do my best to actively think. Consciously examine why life had to so forcibly make me stop to have thinking time, or what I am mentally/emotionally/energetically holding too heavily and tightly, and perhaps most of all, what do I carry more fear about that faith and confidence.
I may not reach any life changing epiphanies but on the physical level, focusing somewhere besides your pain can be helpful, on spiritual levels I may indeed realize some significant things that I had been brushing aside pre-migraine-takedown. Worst case scenario, I fall asleep!
My point in all of this, is to me, one of the most powerful, as well as most scary facts in life. Time is fleeting and we never get it back. We may get second chances in life but those are chances to do or experience something - not the same amount or chronology of time in which to do it. I believe everything has a purpose. EVERYTHING. We cannot just say that when it feels comforting. If it is everything then it is indeed EVERYTHING. I am intent on using every moment, even when I am not able to be using it in the manner that I perceive as most productive - like thinking while sick instead of being up and accomplishing tasks. I will never get those moments or even hours of headache time back so despite the headache, or rather uniquely because of the headache... or vertigo or.. whatever... I seek to make some use of the time... AND live my other strongest belief - that truly EVERYTHING has a reason...even if it is being bodily taken out of commission to rest because normally you just don't and you must.
So whether you receive daily energy posts or not, make the most of your time. When you are aware what the current time has to offer - the daily ruling planet, moon phase, seasonal energies, other cosmic influences - work them, use them, align with them, and learn THROUGH them and from them. THAT is why they are occurring - because everything DOES have a reason... and EVERY moment is sacred.
