Morning Messages

The Weight of the World

Every morning before the sun comes up, I sit in my big orange chair with my coffee and talk with my Guardians. (At times I refer to them as my Spirit Family, so just in case I switch back and forth, they don’t really give a shit what I refer to them as haha) Sometimes they already have things to share before I’ve asked any questions and sometimes they just sit with me while I process dreams and experiences from the night before.

These Morning Messages are my questions and the insight they’ve shared with me both recently and throughout the last 30 years.

Question- I get so exhausted by feelings of overwhelm of the world around me. Mostly I just wanna have fun and laugh and be stupid but I also wanna scream and pull my hair out daily when I see what we do to ourselves and one another… When I see what’s fed to us more and more as entertainment and news, it’s hard not to wanna scream into a megaphone from the empire state building. This can’t be good for my thyroid y’all.

Guardians- First? Take a long deep breath and let that weight fall away. The worlds pain is not yours to carry, no matter how good your weightlifting practice is going haha!

When you are traversing deep dark topics but do so lightly, you’re able to be in an expansive state of observation because you are not in the tunnel vision of panic. You are not restricted or holding your breath and so your nervous systems learns not to be threatened by unknowns but to be curious and delight in each new mystery.

Imagine someone playfully floating above a dark abyss with goggles and a snorkel. They are slooooowly slowly kicking along the surface but are capable of taking in so much more. Processing and understanding much more than someone who is taking huge gulps of air to dive down as deep as possible then shoot back to the surface over and over again. In this state, holding their breath, they are in survival mode. Their senses may be registering and saving data but they are not able to digest and process nearly as much as they could if they were at ease. This is like trying to eat a turkey dinner while running a marathon. Is it possible? Yes, but we doubt much is gonna stay down.

You are avoiding nothing by allowing laughter to break through your most painful abyss, by learning to enjoy and even float leisurely across the darkness beneath you. Please don’t let people talk you out of your humor or try to convince you that you are avoiding feeling. They just don’t recognize this as an option yet. They in fact are afraid of floating slowly, open and observant, across their darkest fears. They don’t know yet how to stop flailing and holding their breath when traversing the depths of themselves and the universe.

Play. Play. Play.

There is no better way to learn.

I love you. I hope you have a beautiful week!
