There’s a lot going on right now that’s energizing us in all kinds of ways.  I feel it’s helpful to be aware of this multiplicity of things, especially if you’re feeling vulnerable or off balance right now.

There are Northern Lights or aurora borealis happening now too.  Auroras are the result of disturbances in the Earth’s magnetosphere caused by solar wind.  Right now there are all kinds of super intense things happening on the sun and we’re getting MAJOR bursts of energy which are affecting us here.  Also, we’ve got a full moon tomorrow and eclipses happening this week.  It’s a big week.

Of course there’s so much going on that’s very intense in the minds of many.  So, that’s something that impacts us as well.

If you’re feeling the intensity, as I am, I encourage you to flow with it.

Monday morning I woke up at 2:30 and didn’t go back to sleep.  I did my usual thing when that happens – I pray.  And then at 4:30 I got up and started my day.

I had a few short moments of feeling ready to go back to bed in the morning, but I had such a full day that wasn’t an option.  I’ve had so many appointments, a couple of classes, plus cooking, walking Bodhi and writing assignments due – lots going on today and I’ve felt completely energized, at Peace and balanced most of the day.  That’s the benefit of being able to go with the flow and not resist it or label any of it wrong.

One thing that happened today was in the middle of a meeting on zoom, Sattva, my kitty, brought home a live bird, dropped it right in front of me and then when it started to escape attacked it – feathers flying ALL OVER the bird jumped up towards the window, Sattva leapt to the counter by the window, I picked Sattva up and put gently, but quickly, got him off the counter and fortunately the window sill the bird was on is the one window in the house that has no screen, so I opened it and it flew away before Sattva could jump back up, phew!!!

That was intense!

I know Sattva didn’t appreciate my reaction to his gift.  Not at all.  But I loved him up and let him know I did appreciate him – I just don’t want to reward him for bring me critters.  Live mice are the worst of it!

We don’t have to judge and label everything – we can be more and more neutral and in the flow of what’s going on.

That’s being open-minded and finding freedom in our mind, where it’s been all along.
