How are you all doing?

Are you being okay?

How's this week been?

There's a lot of turbulent energy.

I'm just hoping you're all hanging on for dear life,

Holding on by the seat of your pants.

That's what it feels like.

It's a little hard being here and being this immortal.

Also understanding that we're all in the same space.

We kind of think because we're in our own space and we're encountering and feeling what we're feeling,

We sort of think,

Well,

Then I'm the only one because we do feel like we're the only one.

A lot of people are pretending that everything's wonderful.

It's a bit shaky out there.

We're feeling it and so we should be.

Knowing that there are so many also in the same place and experiencing the same stories,

But just in different ways,

It makes a big difference to being able to still hold on and be here.

That's what I always want to share is that we're not alone.

We've got each other.

We've got this amazing community here on Inside Time of this collective.

We have got each other.

We can help support and uplift each other.

Every one of us,

Every time we plug into a different feeling or a different sense or we connect,

We're making a difference in the collective field.

We might feel like that's just a nothing thing,

But I cannot even begin to tell you how fabulous it is.

Just think of a drop in some water and the ripple opens.

Just think of that.

Then you will have the answer and that's how it works.

Feeling overwhelmed,

That's the energy.

I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I'm feeling the overwhelm,

Which is also a very good way to place yourself out one more step and then just be with what is,

But don't give it to you.

Don't attach or identify with it.

That's really important.

Let's use our time really well.

We are unwrapping these dreadful trauma signals that we are all feeling that are awakening and shaking us up head to toe.

We're slowly releasing them.

Today,

We're talking about that energy of helplessness.

We so know what that is.

Not one of us can say,

Oh,

I've never felt helpless.

Wouldn't that be nice if we could say that?

The truth is that we've all understood this feeling.

When we feel helpless,

We feel that connection.

It makes us less helpful in the way that we can help ourselves.

It just pulls our energy out of us and collapses all the stories that we have created about being strong and courageous and wonderful,

Amazing.

It just throws away all the data that could remind us that we are really not helpless and that we are fabulous.

Let's come into the space together.

We'll do some beautiful breaths.

We'll do some breathing,

And then we'll know exactly how we want to connect and we'll ask our guides to come in and bring to us whatever will help us.

All of us,

We ask our guides,

Angels,

And divine presence come into the space now.

Let's take a deep breath.

Long,

Slow out-breath.

Drop,

Drop it to this moment to relax your whole body.

So beautiful.

For a little while,

See if you can draw your awareness to you.

If it's safe for you,

You can close your eyes.

Feel yourself in the space where you are.

Acknowledge you right now.

These moments of reconnecting are so important.

We must do them,

I always love to say,

About 300 times a day,

Maybe more.

The more we reconnect,

Stop,

And reconnect our mind,

Body,

And being,

We consider ourselves the better this world is going to be.

We have this antidote to release all the overwhelm,

The sense of despair and hardship,

Misery.

When we come home to this being,

We acknowledge that we are being held here,

The arms of gravity have got us.

We are being breathed every breath until our very last one.

Please,

God,

May it be with ease.

Our heart is beating,

Our systems are functioning,

We're here.

See in this moment if you can allow yourself to be present without including any other data around you.

Just notice whatever you're perceiving and receiving in your own mind,

In your own body,

Just noticing you.

Notice the thoughts that are coming in,

Don't attach to them,

Don't try and solve them,

Don't get up and do something,

Just stay present.

Notice.

Notice what you're feeling,

Your urges and your impulses.

Notice the simple things like your temperature,

The time of day that you're sitting in right now,

And acknowledge the space that's holding you.

And you are this beautiful being that can know itself in time and space in many different realities and setups.

Through your entire journey you have been knowing yourself,

Know thyself,

In every single step and breath,

Every connection from the very first moment that you appeared here on this earth.

Your being has been recording that data,

That information,

And in the way that we can we are processing it.

It's a very different connection for a three-year-old and the interpretation that they would get from the life around them,

And a 23-year-old,

An 83-year-old.

These are such different reflections of the very same situation.

This instrument,

This human that I call myself,

Knows how to be in it,

To adjust itself,

To interpret itself,

And the space and the time and who I am and what I know now.

Not only that,

Not only interpret it,

We have this incredible ability to go back and remember,

To count and call upon our memory and awaken this being to that which we know that could help us in some way perhaps,

That will give us some kind of forewarning or some kind of awareness.

And we also know in the exact same moment what it is that we seek in the future,

What we long for.

We hold a space right between.

We can perceive,

We can think,

We can choose and discern,

We can do absolutely nothing and we're still here,

And we can do as much as we want to and we're still here.

How then can we possibly say to ourselves,

I'm helpless?

How do we get this feeling that we're not enough?

This feeling of desperation,

Where we don't know what to do or how to do it.

When did you construct that idea in your life?

When you felt this helplessness,

You didn't know what to do,

Who to call upon,

That life swept you away in some drama or some horrendous pain.

So we have all known those points of awareness.

We've all known what it's like to hit the panic button,

Where everything just seems like it's going too fast and we don't know what to do.

We feel this calamity of helplessness,

Don't know what to do.

Our whole body,

When it gets that signal,

It drops immediately into terror.

Because the system must always know what it needs to do so that it can be alive and stay alive.

Because this darling human has been operating from the beginning of its journey in one condition,

And that is to stay alive.

We have been fighting for our survival.

Every little bit of data that we brought into our awareness has been based upon that construct.

Will I survive?

Will this help me to survive?

Imagine if we could shift it and we start to say,

But will this help me to thrive?

Will this be the switch,

The thing that I start to look out for and see that will help me now to thrive?

I believe with all my heart that if we could make that switch,

We would lose so much of this helplessness that is causing immense pain in our mind,

Body,

And being.

We feel helpless in making this world safe.

We feel helpless in the stories that are unfolding around us,

The financial situations,

The future.

How are we going to manage?

What are we going to do?

What's going to become of us?

All of that fear,

If you were to just look at it carefully,

Lay it out on a table like a deck of cards and lift everyone up,

You would see that its tone is survival.

Play that game.

Play that game with yourself.

You could even write all the stories that make you feel helpless and alone and lost,

Vulnerable,

And you write them down and then lift it up like it's a card,

A deck of cards,

And put it in your hand and say,

But what is the tone in here?

It's survival.

Survival is trapping us in a story.

It's conditioning our being to only think in a very limited concept,

Very limited way.

When we come into survival,

When our whole body starts to resonate in that,

The terror comes in,

The panic,

The anxiety,

Whatever it is that escalates this energy inside of us,

Our being throws in cortisol,

Epinephrine,

Norepinephrine,

The adrenal system ignites,

And we run a program.

Oh my gosh,

Run away,

Hide under the bed,

Fight back with all your might,

And that's it.

And of course then if we can't run away and we can't fight back and we can't just lie down and faint,

If we can't even do that,

Can you imagine the desperation,

The helplessness that we feel in our system?

If we were to stop in those moments where the runaway train of calamity hits us,

If we were to stop in this and say,

But what is the tone of the story that is hitting me,

That I'm understanding it in a certain way,

What is it that I'm seeing right now and understanding?

It will be based upon survival.

And my lovelies,

This human species has got to shift out of that idea that we're only here to survive.

We've got to switch that switch and move ourselves into another idea,

Another concept,

And we are to move towards our thriving,

Our potential,

Our brilliance and our creativity.

That's what's waiting for us in that all expansive potential is available.

We don't have to go and read a book and find out about it because we're never going to know what that is.

It has not yet happened.

It's the future.

It's the space ahead of us.

It's the potential.

So what we do now,

We stand in the space between this that is collapsing our energy and the helplessness because we want to survive.

And we step out of it and we say,

Well,

Then what's the worst thing that could happen?

That's my game.

What's the worst thing that could happen?

I might not survive,

But what's the best thing that could happen?

Well,

I'll just go home.

I've just brought it down to the simplest,

Simplest ways of finding that place of peace,

That nothing can shake me,

That I can stand in this space and it's okay that the game of survival can end because the game of thriving and stepping into our potential awaits the moment we put the story down.

It's our feeling of helplessness inside of this low vibration of survival that is keeping us locked in and trapped.

We are the prisoners of our own making.

We are holding each other hostage in this.

You must behave like that and you must give me that and I must get that and I must put all these little structures,

These little blocks in the space and then I'm going to feel safe and then I can manage,

I can cope and I can hope.

Oh,

Those are all my least favorite words.

We have put these blocks,

These requirements and these structures in place.

We have created this as a system,

But the system is not working because we can't play with any more imagination and creativity when we're only spiking three reactive reactions.

Hideous stress hormones sparked reactive connections.

There is no room for anything else.

For the expansiveness of that which we still are to move towards the thriving,

The abundance,

The light,

The love,

The compassion,

Kindness,

Collaboration,

Creativity,

So much more.

We feel helpless in a certain tone,

A certain story that is survival.

We stop playing that game and we activate and open up the idea,

Just the idea that we could thrive as a species,

That we could hold each other and start to dream in something different.

In that,

We are fully encoded with all the gifts to be that.

Every single awareness,

Every single possibility and potential is already in us.

We don't have to become that,

We have to do any human story so that we can be a better human.

We know how to be a human.

We've done pretty well.

We've survived at great odds and we're still here.

We don't rely upon any human to help us.

We rely upon our higher self.

We come back to the divine.

We come back home to who we truly are,

Divine beings of light and love.

We are the very breath of the divine.

We are here to find that,

To open up that energy and to activate that and bring it into the field.

It's time for us to settle down and reconsider,

Connect this connection in a different way.

Look at what's making you feel helpless.

Look at the tone,

Find it and you will see that it is survival,

Managing,

Hoping and coping.

Then find that creativity in you.

You might have to sit for just a little while and be quiet.

Settle your body down,

Soothe your being,

Soften your expression.

Take a deep breath into your being,

Relax into this moment.

Now feel how you are being breathed,

Being held,

Being loved.

All of this is coming towards you.

All of this is happening in you and through you.

There is no mistake,

Beautiful you.

All of this is so that you can continue to be here.

What,

To fight,

To be angry and hateful,

To be greedy and grabby?

I don't think so.

I think we're still here because the potential of who we are to become is right here.

It's like a breath away.

If only we would see it.

When we start to open up that veil and start to see what the game is that's held us in a certain way,

A certain understanding.

When we start to see the data that has come towards us,

That has told us this is life and this is how you do it.

This is how you manage and cope and this is how you survive.

That's been wonderful.

We're grateful we've got here.

Now we say,

What is the next step?

What is the next step that'll take me into my heightened creativity?

The highest expression that I can bring in.

What do you know and what do you hold?

What is embedded and encoded in you?

We might have no idea,

But I promise you every single one of you has got something that is unique.

You hold a little pixel,

One little piece of puzzle in this incredible hologram.

If you don't shine and you don't bring that little piece of fabulousness that's you in,

Then there's going to be a gap.

You are holding something.

You might not realize it and you might not know it.

It's okay,

But you are.

You are here because you hold a specific,

Beautiful,

Sovereign,

Unique gift that is an absolute that only you can give that into this collective field,

This incredible field that we all share.

It might be something as simple as holding a gift of humming,

A gift of painting,

A gift of gardening.

There's something that you hold in you that you love doing do that.

Inside of those things that we love is immense creativity and opening of our awakening and our imagination.

That we want to wake up into.

That is where we move in when we start to thrive because there's space to do it.

So see if you can play that game,

My treasures.

Every time you feel this collapse of your energy,

Just look at it.

Don't run away from it.

It's been very helpful.

It's brought us to this point.

Thank it.

Thank those who have helped you to understand that because when we understand one thing,

It opens up an awareness of what else there is,

The potential of something else.

In every moment of awareness and consciousness,

Another resides right next to it.

The moment we see that,

We can see what else there is,

The what else.

How wonderful are you.

Thank you for you,

My treasures.

Just being here in this world,

It's wonderful.

Wonderful.

Let's take a deep breath into that.

A long,

Slow out-breath.

We thank our guides and angels and divine priests for holding us.

Just feel held,

Feel loved,

Be reminded.

Remember who you are,

Hold gracious space,

And then you can activate.

Then you can start to show up and bring in this excellence,

This beautiful next step.

But not until we remember who we are and why we're here and what we're going to do next,

Your heart and your soul are going to open up the way ahead of you,

Just like a flashlight opens up the path so we can see it.

Your heart and your soul are going to open up the pathways ahead of you.

Nothing your cute human has learned and done up to this point,

Being a human,

Is going to help you get to that next point.

The next point is heart and soul.

You got it?

So much love there.

Take care,

My treasures.

Thank you for all of you.

I enjoyed this as a live event and now have had a different, equally helpful, experience listening to it as a recording. I’m very glad to have this meditation as a resource for rewiring my internal system, which is prone to fear, helplessness, and emotional panic. I’m adding this to my nervous system reset toolbox. 💜
