Perceptions of the New Energy

Notes to Myself

I feel the energy is really intense right now. I spent the summer really taking it easy and balancing and aligning my energy. It's a good things I did that because astrologically the month of August was predicted to be a real turning point by bringing in new energy. The solar eclipse at the beginning of the month and the lunar eclipse with the full moon on August 16th intensified things. The 888 of August 8, 2008 was said to be an opening into the new energies.

I've read plenty on the subject and while I don't completely understand exactly what is being conveyed I can tell you I'm totally feeling the shift in my body. I thought I would share what I am experiencing and perhaps it will resonate with what you are going through and reassure you that we are in this together!

Being that I am super sensitive to energy, I easily pick up on what other people are feeling. I can easily absorb the energy around me. I make an effort to surround myself in places and with people that are of a similar vibration. If I have to be in a situation that doesn't feel good to me I will shield my energy and breath through it.

I have been experiencing super sensitivity, as I am sensitive to begin with, lately, I can barely handle any noises, commotion or intense energies. If I am in a busy, active environment, I will balance it with plenty of quiet time. I am feeling super tired also. It's so intense that I can barely walk, talk or think clearly. I will take short, rejuvenating, deep naps.

The ironic part is, after taking a nap, I am fully recharged and cannot fall asleep for anything and will then be wide awake half the night, which is very unusual for me. I am also having a lot of memorable dreams filled with strong emotions and messages. My dreams have been reflective of my past, returning to familiar places, people or events. The funny thing is, while I'm dreaming I'm also narrating it as who I am now. I feel like we are doing a lot of integrating and healing through the sleep state.

I have been having a lot of digestive issues. I've been experiencing an upset stomach quite often. I also can't find food that appeals to me. My food cravings have diminished and I'm at a loss as to what to eat. Unfortunately rather than losing weight due to this, I have instead gained weight. I have found that Kombucha juice has helped with both my energy level and digestion.

It seems that this time is bringing up our shadow side. Issues we thought we may have resolved have popped up again for us to revisit once again. This is the time to really acknowledge our issues. Once we can truly face our challenges we can resolve them once and for all and go to the next level. Perhaps the issue we are confronting are coming up for us to realize that these issues have been resolved. We may discover once we revisit our issues that we really have worked through them, thus another layer of the onion has been peeled.

I'm also having major difficulties concentrating on even the simplest of tasks. I cannot get myself motivated to begin or complete even a basic task. Things I am required to do, are taking me longer and I have to exert myself so much that it is contributing to how tired I am. I'm experiencing brain fog, I can't think straight or clearly. I go in circles trying to get something done. It's been very frustrating.

I know many people who are having headaches, sinus pressure and fatigue. It seems that these intense energies are really affecting the physical body. Here in South Florida, we are preparing for a Tropical Storm. The energies are building here to an almost overwhelming point. I feel the pressure in my ears and head that are making me dizzy, as if I am on an airplane and we're taking off or I'm on a boat swaying in the water.

Many emotions are rising to the surface as well, as we are delving into our core issues. I may feel a strong emotion come up, and then shortly thereafter it is gone and I am fine again. It seems that we are processing things at record speed.

Time is going extremely fast right now. I am shocked to realize that an entire day has passed, no less a week, a month or a year! It seems that as time is speeding up we are being asked to slow down. We want to get so much done, deal with so many things and balance it all, in order to do this we need to really be conscious of being present in the moment and paying attention of what is in front of us.

The new energy is realigning us to get in touch with our most authentic self. We are being catapulted into the new by confronting, and clearing our issues, adjusting our body, mind and soul through the intensification of energy. Achieving this by slowing down our busy lives and minds, and setting limits. The highly sensitive beings are feeling this so intensely.

We are in the process of growing, and healing. I feel we are experiencing these extreme times, whether they may be health related, the economy, social, personal or political issues, they are coming to the forefront to bring us closer together. We need to learn how ask for help and to recognize within another their need for support or assistance. We need to learn how to reach out and offer our gifts and services to others in the way we have to give and to also be able to accept and receive. This is truly the way to achieving balance in the new energy.

Prayer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear God,

I feel in one sense things are going slowly and nothing is really changing in my life. It seems like years go by and I am in the same place as I was before.

In another sense, things seem to be going ultra fast. Days, weeks and years pass by in the blink of an eye. I see things changing before my very eyes.

Really, I know things are always evolving. I truly feel the shifts and growth inside of me. God, I know that everything is as it should be.

I am where I am meant to be. I accept the moment as it is.

Please assist me in integrating the new energies. I am feeling the intensity of these times in my physical, emotional and mental bodies. Please ease the pressure in grace. Thank you for all that I am.

And so it is.

Amen.
