Dark Cloud

Hello out there. It's been a long time since I've blogged so here I go.

We had some very dark cloudy and rainy weather here where I live (Tampa, FL). As is said, so outside as within. Or something like that (lol). We are all beings of light which carry energies inside of us. Sometimes these energies get distorted or clouded. Notice what transpires when this things get cloudy though.

Observe the energy cloud itself. Who is observing the cloud? Once this question is posed, we begin to realize the bigger picture. In my case, the dark cloud feels like a negative energy field. It says things like, "What are you doing with your life?" or "Where are you going" or even the most unpleasant one, "Why arn't you married yet?"

I have to take a step back from myself in a way and consciously observe what is going on here. My ego, through what Eckert Tolle calls the pain-body, is attempting to bring me to a place outside of Now. Maybe it's the distant past. Or the unknown future. A technique I really love, also from Tolle's New Earth, is to take 2-3 conscious breaths. Feel my chest inhale, air coming in, and feel myself exhale. Focusing on our breath is easy to do, has tremendous benefits and is totally free! Doing this returns me to the most important aspect there is, and will ever be - the present moment. Most call this the Now.

So what is my point you may be thinking. We all experience the occasional dark clouds of life. It's important to recognize them for what they are. Recognition becomes awareness. As we become more and more aware we raise our vibrational consciousness, thus lifting humanity's level on the entire planet.

As Always, Godspeed
