God said:

What is distress but a pulling tight of your heartstrings? Language sometimes describes tension as getting wound up. Distress is a contraction of your heart. It is your heart that you are pulling tight, as if your heart were the bow of an arrow you get ready to let go, yet never do let go. You keep tightening your heart as if to make life taut and fraught without cease or release.

Language also tells you to unwind.

Your heart is like a violin string.

You are pulling your heart back too far and tie your heart up in knots.

Your heart is restrained with fear. What terrible thing would happen if you would release all your built-up tension and untangle your palpitating heart from tension?

Freedom would happen.

You have been breathing too much air into your heart as if your heart were a balloon. Let some of the air out so your heart can be a viable heart and not a heart squeezed tight.

You don’t even know what you are afraid of. Your fear is generalized without demarcation. It is an unknown overwhelming fear that leaves you jagged. Jagged fear presses on you, oppresses you, represses you. Fear is like a tourniquet you wind too tight.

You are like a runner who cannot seem to stop running. Even in sleep, your legs are churning.

You may fear that you would be undone if you were not wound tight. You may fear, that you would collapse, relapse when you have a lapse in tension. Of course, this relaxation is exactly what is required.

What is tension doing as your long-lived companion?.

Continued from part 1. Read full post here.

When we understand and embody love, we’ll see that unity isn’t as much about being the same as it is honoring individuality.

The very idea that unity should mean conformity says something about the human condition, and love will reawaken the understanding of what unity is supposed to be.

We can then share this understanding with those who’ve been in the dark about love, unity and respect, and if we work hard enough and share our truth with everyone who’s willing to listen, the influence of love and genuine unity will spread like wildfire.

The world will finally have the collective awakening it needs, and even more important will be the social action that results. We’ll finally care enough about each other and our planet to take a stand for the environment and the human rights that are denied to us, and the work will be easier because we’ll do it all together.

by Zen Gardner

It’s such a remarkable time we’re living in right now. All of this going on both within and without us is happening almost before we can even begin to identify what it is we’re going through or where we’re headed. It’s very much like we’re flying over and around new rocks in the stream of life and shooting down even more unexpected and sometimes seriously daunting rapids.

There’s not much else to think about while body surfing this incredible current.

I’m hearing from so many this sense of being in limbo and having to deal with unforeseen and quite immediate obstacles and issues that seem to be draining their time, attention and energy. Things arise in all of our lives that have to be dealt with, but so often the next move or decision seems to escape our awareness and it can make us feel confused and powerless.

It’s certainly not a time to make rash decisions. In fact, it’s important to stand back, observe and wait for the answers to manifest as much as possible. In the words of Ponka Chief White Eagle:

“When you are in doubt, be still, and wait; when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still; be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists — as it surely will. Then act with courage.”

Freedom – the freedom to grow and expand in the ways that are divinely perfect for you is an essential need for the soul. The greatest way you can support that freedom is to allow yourself to be the wise and qualified expert on you, and leave old outmoded belief systems and conditioning behind. You are on the planet to walk your own path, as your own distinctive and glorious flavour of Source energy. ~Archangel Gabriel

It is time again to make yourself aware of some very strong energetic changes on the horizon…being aware is being prepared.  Some of you may feel as if a ‘madness’ has descended upon you, you may feel as if you are slogging through mud or that you want to move forward and you are being ‘held back’.  Be safe in the knowledge that the forward movement will start again, but only after you resign yourself to a short rest period.  My child, it is necessary to bolster your resources, check everything off your list and take gentle, loving care of your body.  When things begin moving again (at a break neck speed), you will be thankful for the down time you are having now.  For now…..just rest. ~ Creator
