Powerful Connections

It’s funny how I get reminded of things.  Years ago I had an experience of feeling anxious, without knowing what the anxiety was about.  I remember trying desperately to “figure it out” — was it work?  Was I sick?  Was something bugging me on a subconscious level?  For the life of me I couldn’t understand the angst that was persisting.  And the more I tried to figure it out, the more anxious I got – go figure!

Then I had a colleague — a wise individual he was! — remind me that, like it or not, human beings are all connected on a cellular level.  And even more important than that, we as human beings are connected on an energetic level to all things on the planet.  So what?  So that means that sometimes the “angst” I’m feeling isn’t about me at all — it’s about what’s going on “out there”.  Given the nature of human experience is to operate from ego, this idea is an easy thing to forget.

The mantra I came up with at the time of this initial learning/revelation was “let it be”.  Just let the angst be what it is.  Don’t try to figure it out, solve it or dispel it.  Just flow with it.  And what I want to add to the mantra now is the idea of really feeling into the connection, even as I let the angst be what it is.  Because these connections do serve.  And when you can feel the power of the connection, it’s pretty engaging and neat stuff.  So that’s my musing for today.  It’s good to feel connected — deeply and powerfully connected.  When you allow yourself to feel into the connections, the energy can (and does) shift.  Awesome stuff I tell you!
