Hello friends,
Today's message and meditation is entitled,
Help!
I'm stuck in the waiting room.
This is for you if you feel like you had a lot of dreams,
Ideas,
Goals,
Ambition,
Excitement,
Energy flowing,
And then somehow the brakes got hit and things are not moving along as quickly as you'd like.
Rest assured,
Your dreams,
Goals,
Plans are not dead.
The energy will flow again.
But sometimes there's something about divine timing that our conscious minds,
Our logic,
Our egos really struggle to grasp.
So I'm going to share some tools,
Some meditation,
Some things that can help you if you feel stuck in the waiting room.
If you happen to have any aromatherapy on hand in your home or wherever you happen to be,
First of all I'd recommend lavender.
Lavender is amazing for calming and soothing.
You can also work with some other essential oils such as chamomile,
Tulsi,
Anything that helps you to feel calm and at ease.
If you like to work with stones and crystals,
I'll give you two options.
Aquamarine or green aventurine.
They're both very soothing.
When you are ready,
I want to invite you to sit up nice and tall in your seat.
And at least at first let's place our feet flat on the earth.
You happen to have your essential oil,
I invite you to place a drop on your left index finger and a drop on your left thumb.
Then there is an energy point on the body that's going to help us.
One of the biggest challenges we have when we're stuck in the waiting room is we feel like we're not in control of timing and how things are unfolding.
And there's a part of most of us that wants to be in control and doesn't like it when there's something crucial that we cannot control like timing.
So if you have that on your thumb and index finger,
I want you to reach up just over your heart right in line with the nipples,
But internal from the nipples and the outer edges of the sternum.
So the height of the nipples,
But the outer edges of the sternum.
And if you have lavender,
Even if you don't have any essential oil,
I just want you to hold your thumb on the one side of the sternum,
Your index finger on the other side,
And you're going to press there gently,
A little bit of pressure.
We're going to do three clearing breaths here.
These energy points help us let go of the need for control or the fear of losing control.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
And a nice sigh out as you continue pressing on those points on the outer edges of the sternum.
Another deep breath in through your nose,
And a nice sigh out through the mouth to let it go.
Another deep breath in through the nose,
Continuing to press on the sternum,
And a nice sigh out the mouth to let it go.
I invite you to release the sternum.
Go ahead and close your eyes and get really comfortable.
And when you think about how it feels to not feel control,
To not see timing work out the way you wish,
Once you observe how that feels in your body and where you feel that in your body,
Either frustration,
Anger,
Hopelessness,
Despair,
Whatever it is that is triggered,
Notice where you feel it in the body.
If you'd like to hold your green aventurine or your aquamarine,
Go ahead and hold it in your left hand and just gently place it over that part of the body if you can reach that part.
And just breathe deeply.
In through the nose,
Out through the nose.
I want you to breathe into that part of the body.
Imagine that as you're inhaling,
You're filling that part of the body with new energy.
In your exhale,
Tension,
Tightness,
Gripping,
Release.
Let's do that two more times.
Deep breath into that part of the body where you feel tension,
Tightness,
Gripping.
Slow exhale through the mouth as it starts to melt away.
One more time,
Me gripping to an outcome that you think should happen in a certain way.
In exhales,
We just release and surrender.
Your eyes still closed for a moment.
I'm going to ask your soul to start to give you some little hints and clues that either give you hope or direction or even a change of direction that's going to help you be for your greatest good,
Bring you joy in the long run.
What is your soul gently guiding towards?
Take a moment to feel that guidance.
Once you feel complete,
I invite you to go ahead and open your eyes.
Earlier today,
I was working with a coaching client who was stuck in the waiting room.
So many plans and good things are on the verge of happening,
But they haven't happened yet and she has felt like she's been in the waiting room for a while.
I went to an oracle card deck and I decided to pull a card for her.
The card says shanti,
Which in Sanskrit means peace.
And it is an angel card.
It says,
I am the angel of peace.
I bring you new tranquility and a smoother road ahead.
If you feel stuck in the waiting room,
Feel intense emotion around that or frustration,
This message is for you.
The angel of peace is here to help you.
You're not alone in this.
Sometimes we need to ask for help.
Ask our angels,
Our ancestors,
Our team to help us through the time of challenge.
Say look,
The burden's a little too heavy for me.
I've been gripping on.
Will you take some of this and relieve me from it?
Also on this card,
There is an image of a lion facing the image of a lion.
The lion is gently resting on its front paws.
The lamb is doing the same.
There is no tension.
There is no fight.
There is no prey or being hunted.
There's just these seemingly opposing energies have come to a place of peace.
This card is also an invitation for the seemingly opposing energies within yourself.
Come to a place of peace.
The fire within you,
Tempering with the water within you.
The part of you that was ready for things to happen yesterday.
Trusting that something even better is being developed behind the scenes for you right now.
I hope you find this message helpful.
Remember those energy points on the outer edges of the sternum,
Right at the height of the nipples,
Pressing on those outer edges of the sternum,
Breathing in,
Exhaling the need to control what you cannot control,
Like timing.
That can be a very helpful exercise.
Lavender is your friend if you feel stuck in the waiting room.
Green aventurine or even aquamarine.
Both great options to help you through this time.
I promise your time of energy flowing and good things happening again is coming very soon.
So don't give up the breath and trust in the meantime.
Until next time.
