How much more deeply would you love if you knew without doubt that you would not be hurt? It is a simple question to help you identify how you may still be holding yourself back. Remember, Dear Ones, partial energy begets partial results. BE the love you are. Allow it to flow through you and to you, wholly, completely, deliciously, for that is the greatest joy you can experience as a human being. ~Archangel Gabriel

What is love? If love is eternal and unconditional, then where can you find it? Are you looking in the right place? Humans have searched and yearned for love since the beginning of history. Why? It motivates and ignites passion and creativity, yet this can’t be the whole story. There must be more to love – a deep and profound meaning. Battles have been fought to obtain it, and many people have lived and died for the ideals it represents. Is love something you can possess? Do you want to?

When you consider this, first take off the glitter and sparkles that media and marketing has added. That is only superficial wrapping sold to consumers eager for the experience without knowing its substance. Chocolates, flowers and valentines are nice expressions and yet do not necessarily equate to love. What is love? When you delve deep, two varieties emerge: love which is changeable, situational and depends on other people, and love which is eternal, ever flowing and unchangeable.

Synchronicity, by definition is:

“The simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.”

Fractal this out to a larger scale. Imagine the world as a living organism. If we could feel the ebb and flow of everyone, feel all the simultaneous moments of laughter, anxiety, pure relaxation and everything in-between, we would see that synchronicity is everywhere – constantly occurring. Everything is a simultaneous occurrence of events - it’s the moment we put our focus on it that gives it meaning.

Anger is a Root vibe… it bubbles up from the Root chakra when there is absolutely no other way. When there are no feelings of safety, no feelings of support from those around you, and a feeling that it just can’t be stuffed anymore until it explodes out in a torrent of rage.

But is there value to this? Is there some beneficial “thing” that can come from getting angry and exploding it out onto those around you?

Considering that it is an innate built-in feature to the human psyche (and potentially other mammals or maybe even all kinds of creatures), there must be something that can come from it, even if it is not the best way to do things.

Being burnt out is something almost everyone experiences at some point in their life, yet this isn’t usually something that is talked about in the “spiritual” circle.  A big part of stepping into your highest potential is creating habits and routines that facilitate growth in your life.  If you aren’t managing priorities, time, and work properly, all of your effort will be going into trying to restore your energy levels instead of into personal growth.

Here are 7 practical tips to avoid burning yourself out in life:

1) Don’t overcommit

If you can’t take a fellow employees shift, then tell them you can’t do it.  Don’t tell your boss your work will be completed in a timeline that is not realistic for you.  Don’t try to please your peers by making plans with them all weekend if you feel you need rest.  Respect yourself enough to know that nothing is more valuable than your happiness.  Not even productivity.

A few years ago, a series of studies came out in an attempt to sort of ‘debunk’ people who practice spirituality.  The study found that people who have a spiritual understanding of life tend to be more susceptible to mental health problems, addictions, and anxiety disorders.

A passive aggressive news report from the Daily Mail titled “Spiritual people are more likely to be mentally ill (but at least they think life has more meaning)” took a jab at spiritual people as if to say “They’re crazy, but at least they think life is more important to them”.

A report by The Telegraph also covered the same story, claiming that spiritual people struggle to cope with things mentally.  Now, could it be possible that the reason spiritually-minded people have more mental health issues and anxiety problems is not because they are looney, but because they are more connected to what is happening in the world?

The astrology forecast for May says it is a month of emotional immersion and mental diversion. We’ll be exploring the extremes of both, sometimes pinging back and forth between them, sometimes finding ourselves in both at once. The peculiar mix sends us, by month’s end, into a spa for the soul, where the waters pour out love and acceptance of the self.

No matter how dark the first days may feel, remember that a therapeutic process is at work. Unpleasant thoughts, fears and impulses fly through minds and out of mouths during the long weekend that launches the month. The Scorpio Full Moon (on May 3-4) is normally a trigger for the darker side of emotional experiences. This year’s model comes with a jumble of uncomfortable influences that produce frustration, roadblocks, resistance, more inner growth (great, right?) and all manner of emotional backwash coming off the last two months.
