As an empath, I not only absorb the emotional frequencies of others but sometimes pick up on their physical symptoms as well. As a vibrational healer, this ability can help me understand how to serve the being in front of me. Yet, I must be intentional about dispelling and releasing this energy before it settles in and makes a home within me.
Lately, I’ve been feeling a whirling storm of fear around me. Sometimes, it’s difficult to discern what fear originates from my own limiting thoughts and what I am absorbing from others. The collective fear is palpable right now. Can you feel it? If so, how are you dealing with it?
I’ve spent the second half of my life healing my own chronic fears. For me, they would mostly show up as worry, especially since becoming a mother. I also experienced a debilitating fear of public speaking since childhood, which impacted my ability to speak my truth—my heart and soul—for a long time.
Years ago, I would wake up every other day in panic. Sometimes there was a reason, but often, there was nothing particular that triggered it. Now, I realize that I was not only contending with my own fearful thoughts but was also absorbing collective pain and fear.
I feel it now. Yet, it is not consuming me. I am conscious of the opportunity for alchemy as it arises. Over the last decade, I have developed many tools to transform this base human frequency of fear into Love, which is the true source of ALL creation.
This morning, lying in bed, I could feel my body tighten with the collective fear of what is to come—in our country, in our world. Thoughts swirled through my mind: images of “talking heads” on the news, podcasts, and social media; fear of escalating wars, civil unrest, making the wrong choice, being seen as unacceptable, poison in our foods, air, and soil, climate disasters, scarcity of what we need, too much of what we don’t want, losing loved ones… The list could go on. But I quickly stopped these thoughts, dissolved the mental images, and brought my focus back to my body.
“Feel the feeling of fear, Beki,” I reminded myself. “Stop thinking the fear; feel it.” I took a deep breath and leaned into the fear, releasing the stories fueling it. Very quickly, the sensation in my body dissolved. The tension in my throat and chest lifted. My breath became free. It was quite remarkable—this simple intention to feel the emotion and to move away from the thoughts and images causing it. It is alchemy.
So much of the fear that grips us is fed to us, much like the processed foods and toxic chemicals that have become a source of disease in our country. It makes us foggy and weak. We doubt ourselves, our inner knowing. We search outside ourselves for answers on what we should do, and how to stay safe. We imagine someone else knows better than we do. The inner compass becomes a rusty relic, and we rely on a shiny new artificial intelligence to lead the way.
Yet, we possess the most precious and advanced technology within us. This organic, Divine compass is exquisitely tuned to you—just you. It knows exactly where you desire to go. It knows you in all time and space, beyond this one incarnation, within the expansive, unlimited cosmos. This organic compass receives guidance from our eternal Soul, sending impulses through thought, emotion, and ideas that inspire our actions—not with fear, but with joy, excitement, possibility, Knowing, self-love, trust, passion, and empowerment.
If fear is motivating your actions, you are operating from AI (artificial intelligence), not OI (organic intelligence) or DI (Divine Intelligence). I have spent too much of my precious life operating from fear. Now, I am committed to alchemizing fear as it arises within me, by feelingit and transmuting it with my pure presence, which is Love. Love is the Truth of who I am and who you are. It is the simplest Truth: We are Love.
How can I spread the Love that I am?
By following the Inner Guidance that feels like Love. By listening deeply to the inner impulse that wells up inside me, opening my heart, drawing me toward what inspires, uplifts, comforts, and allows.
AND
By embracing and feeling ALL emotions that arise within me, whether I am absorbing them or they belong to me; by leaning into my body and heart with compassion and love. As I sit in this space of Pure Presence, I sense LOVE burning through all thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and memories, clearing all frequencies, energies, and entities not aligned with my True Essence. I feel the Light of Consciousness ignite the fire of passion that leads me with Love and emanates from my core. I become a Lighthouse. I become the Peace I choose to see in the world.
Love is the Alchemy.
I am Love.
Love is ALL.
