July 2009: Delving into Deep Emotions

July is a month of intense emotion.

Some of you have been thinking that June was intense enough, but June was more about action and connection — whereas July is all about feeling. It may feel chaotic to some of you, especially those who are not used to accessing the deeper layers of your emotions.

This is what is bubbling up. Those of you who are more used to operating from your emotions will likely feel a very pleasant month as it finally seems as if the rest of the world is more in step with you. But understand that because you are not an emotional society, most of you have deeper layers of emotion that you do not typically access, and so there will be some elements of that chaotic feeling for nearly everyone this month.

We previously talked about emotions bubbling up from the surface and about seismic activity going on around the world; this seems to be relaxing somewhat on a global level.  This is because the energy is moving upward through the earth into the roots of Who You Are — into your physical selves — and then of circulating within your third and fourth chakra causing this well of emotions to bubble up and bubble forth between you.

Some people will experience difficulties in relationships because of this. Things will be coming to light that you hadn't brought out in the past; this is why we use the word 'chaotic' when we describe the energy of this month.  However, it's not quite as bleak as all that. There has also been quite a shift taking place in the month that you have just finished, June. We talked a month ago about the types of connections that you all would be beginning to make, especially over global events that are occurring on a level that you all can share. You noticed this at the end of the month with celebrity deaths (such as Michael Jackson) that you were all able to share your memories and experiences. Even though they were your own memories and personal experiences, this was still an experience that could be shared among you.  The level of connection between you was therefore increased on a global basis, yet another step on your planned journey towards a conscious, global, mutally supporting community.

So if you have that to move forward from during the month of July, giving you a really nice stable base from which to explore this new depth of emotion that you're all going to be accessing.

Exercise:

This is an exercise that will help balance the chaotic feeling of emotion with this new sense of connection that you now hold with one another.

Stand up with your feet about shoulder width apart. Shift your weight forward and backward until you feel the majority of it centered on the balls of your feet. Bend your knees slightly.

If you practice Qi Gong or Tai-Chi, this movement will be familiar to you:   Bring your hands up to shoulder level and then let them float down again and where they rest at waist height, palms down.  Take a deep breath.

Slowly let them descend, while your knees bend a little bit further — an inch or two. You are essentially bouncing up and down, the weight on the balls of your feet, but still spread out over your entire feet (your heels are touching the floor) and your hands are at waist height or hip height, slowly bouncing up and down as your knees bend ever so slightly.

Now draw up more and more energy from the Earth. This energy is the energy that connects all of you. And as you are doing so, bring your awareness to the center of your chest where your heart is. Bring the energy up into your heart and realize that this shared energy is now being shared among the hearts of everyone. The entire global community is one heart, one beating heart that shared amongst all of you.

Your emotions are beautiful.

They are a part of you.

They are how you express the energy that course through your body.

This is the energy that comes from the earth. This is the energy that is shared among all of you.

This is one beating heart that all of you share together.

When you feel that chaotic feeling that you are being carried away by your emotions, you can stop, rest, breathe and perform this exercise for a minute or two, to help you remind yourself of the connection that you have that you all share.  Remind yourself how your emotions help connect you as humans with a heart-to-heart connection that all of you share.

This connection can deeply empower you and connect you more fully to Who You Are.
