What’s up with Mother Earth

We are born baldish and without teeth completely dependent on whomever we are thrust upon. We progress to childhood, then bud into youth, blossom into a golden age commonly known as adulthood or maturity then we become over ripe at middle age and then one begins to droop and whilt. The ravages of age gnaw at us until one finds the cycle complete, one is in a baldish sate with few or no teeth once again completely dependent on whomsoever one is thrust upon. Such is the life cycle of a human and its pretty much the same for every inhabitant of the earth known to man.

Ironically the Earth that provides us all with life giving resources and sustains our life cycles does not seem to have such a well defined life span. There are wide ranging differing opinions how she was created the Big Bang or by the Lords Hand and then there are those who try the two theories what has been established is that she exists and has been around a while now. She has experienced life in many forms and many different expressions and has managed to nurture living forms to culminate into what we have become today.

She too like every other form on earth has been subject to cycles, whether it be seasons, revolutions around the sun, timely release of larva, movements in her tectonic plates she has seen it all but in a cyclical from.

If we have a look at the state of her being today all we can do is be ashamed of ourselves. We have sabotaged every nurturing aspect of her. The food she allows us to grow food to nurture ourselves is scientifically modified and she reacts to it like an allergy. We also saturate her bounty with chemicals which kill ecosystems of beings close to her. We may not like insects or worms but they do have their place in the bigger scheme of things.

Even if we managed to grow crops without modifying or blasting them with insecticide we do still do everything to mess up the water with a plethora or poisons and pollutants. Ironic as every single living being needs water to live on or live in! We have also manage to polluted the air to such horrific proportions that that we has sizeably damaged the ozone layer. The ozone layer used to function as a universal filter a miracle sunscreen that prevented the harsh UV rays of the sun from harsh cancerous UV rays which do not discriminate against plant, animal and human when annhilating all equally.

Once upon a time it was some sort of myth that the icebergs in the polar regions would melt and we would be purged into oblivion in Noahesque floods. The polar ice caps are now melting but whats scary is the weather change. Scientists are going wild predicting another cataclysmic ice or other equally dread inducing prospect.

Mother Earth’s menstrual cycle of seasons has been swaying off course for a while, her ecosystems like a memopausal woman’s beauty is in the process of getting ravaged. Very obviously she has been suffering from the effects of hot flushes and she has been reacting to those in the form of erupting volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, acid rains, droughts, forest fires and other natural phenominon we cant even comprehend.

She is a mother who is at wits end. She is loosing her precious children in the form of certain animals, plants and other of her inhabitants to extinction. Humans who used to tend to her, care for her and even worship her have abondoned her and she is tremendously broken hearted. Some of are busy terrorising and murdering others, while some torture her by polluting and trying to murder her, others are too busy in the worship of materiality and then there are the ignorant and those who choose to be ignorant and and show no respect for her. The remainder are torn up in shock of how cruelly she is dealing with their kith and kin.

And now there are those who have spread virulent rumours about her demise in 2012. Scientifically there seems no reason for her demise but really if you look at things her way one may start to thing what is stopping her from giving up on all of us and committing suicide?

The Shift: From Broken Hearts to Anger

As mentioned in my earlier blogs I am a sceptic of 2012 and what the “End of the Worlder’s” define as “The Shift”. I have always felt that ‘the Shift’ is an energetic change which will result in a spiritual evolution of our world. As a spiritual councellor and energy therapist I had noted a trend which started in October 2012 which I termed as the “Epidemic of Broken Hearts” (ttp://healingboutique.blogspot.com/2010/11/shift-and-broken-hearts.html?spref=bl).

In the last two months I have noticed a new development, I have been consulted by lots of people who are experiencing inexplanable emotional fragility, skin allergies, odd boil formations, cysts and other painful growths, excima, overeating, weight that just does not want to leave certain areas of one’s body. All of these are simply physical manifestations of a variety of deeply suppressed emotions which with the passing of time have calcified into anger. I was only able to identify the common theme of anger when I noticed that each and every one of these patients I worked on had a lot of energetic fire within which I witnessed leaving their energetic body. In the last two days I have actually had some of my more sensitive past patients call to inquire what their dreams of being on fire meant!

Anger is a very dangerous emotion and is a very physical equivalent of fire, it is catching. Anger is a dangerous emotion it is tremendously contageous and one can observe mass anger in the Middle East just now. The masses in Egypt, the Yemen, Algeria, Tunisia and it is rumoured even Lebanon have found an outlet for decades of unvocalised feelings, emotions and anger at being politically, economically, financially, psychologically and emotionally suppressed in their demonstrations.

Anger is very complicated. It is actually an emotion in itself and yet it can also be the end result of various emotions and/or any amount of physical, psychological and emotional situations or a combination them all. It is very difficult one to advise someone how to deal and live with anger. Some say express it and others to suppress it. Suppression results in a plethoria of physical and psychological manifestations as can be noted from the varying patients I have seen recently.

On the other hand anger expressed is also not a solution, but an severe expression of ones feelings and emotions, which in most cases fuels or worsens most situations. The expression of anger leaves one empty, depressed and low. All of which can actually lead to someone feeling angrier! Anger begets anger. If you get angry and express your anger it is hihgly likely that the person at the receiving end will return your anger and set of a chain reaction with no end. In such a situation there is no alternative then to “turn the other cheek”.

Anger when expressed sets of a chain of reactions in our physical bodies which range from high blood pressure to the release of chemical secretions which are harmful to one’s body. There is no doubt that anger has an advserse effect on ones mental state it clouds one’s judgement, distracts one from concentrating thereby frustrating one even more and fuelling one’s anger further. Energetically anger lets down one’s energetic immunity and breaks down filters which protect you from energetic, emotional and physical ailments.

So what is the solution? At the Healingboutique advises another alternative, to deal and work through anger without expressing it while relieving the suppressed emotion. Here is how to work on your anger::

1. address what caused the anger and sitting to logically look into the issue. In lots of cases the cause of anger is so old it is invalid with regards to one’s present circumstances;

2. forgive it is the most important thing to break the cycle of anger. (we highly recommend the following excercise www.healingboutique.net/?page_id=681). One needs o forgive and let go of past situations so one can be free of the past and enjoy the present.

3. physical excercise to rid oneself of all the chemical toxins produced in a state of anger which if left unexpended would actually result in further urges to be angry;

4. Yoga, meditation and prayer all allow us to become more aware and consious of our emotions thereby giving one control one’s anger. Meditation and prayer are also cathartic, they bring old suppressed issues to the surface so we can deal with them adequately.

In addition to steps 1-4 we strongly recommend one to three sessions with a holistic therapist to release past energies of anger stored within ones energetic body.

The Shift and Broken Hearts

In the last three years I have been consulted to enable many to heal on a physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual level. Apart patients suffering from ‘stress’ or the ‘flu’ I have never heard of any therapist who has been approached by multiple patients in the span of a few weeks to help reach a resolution and heal from an emotional issue.

It all began in October in the span of three weeks I had a suspiciously large number of people consult me to enable them to heal from a broken friendships, broken hearts and shattered illusions. Oddly almost all of these people have been greatly hurt and their love, respect and trust has been shattered by a close friend, colleague or someone else they held in high regards and they loved and respected.

I honestly had to sit down and think why in heavens is there an epidemic of broken hearts. Would you believe the answer came to me from something I am not quite convinced on, what some call “the shift” towards 2012. Now in all honesty I have no compunction to state I have never believed the physical world is likely to end in 2012. My intuitive feelings have always led me to believe that at most what will happen to us is that we will need to take a good long and hard look at ourselves and out lifestyles and change it drastically. We will need to take care of our environment and other external factors but this “shift” if you will, in my opinion will commence within us. It will start out as a form of self-evaluation and improvement and foster a closer connection with our soul and spiritual quotient.

“Shift” enthusiasts have been going on for over a year that it’s already in motion. Much to my ignorance I did not pay much attention to the date 10/10/10 which they say was quite a monumental date. On 10/10/10 at 10:10 am I was blissfully enjoying a theta class.

Now I am told that we are now already at the phase of the shift where we will feel it and this is what I feel those suffering form the “epidemic of broken hearts” are going through. It is said that we are and will be exposed to certain truths that were concealed from us and at present it seems like it relates to our interpersonal relationships, i.e. friendships, marriages, the teacher-student relationship, guru-disciple relationship and relationships with our colleagues etc.

So what exactly is the purpose of this epidemic? I feel it is just a jolt to our already awakening conciousness and awareness as part of our energetic and spiritual evolution. Unfortunately, every evolution is accompanied by change, which, in turn translates, into discomfort and the pain. In the evolution of the senses of my patients to perceive the nature and actions of their loved and respected ones has led them to see the truth and resulted in what I have called “the broken heart syndrome”.

You may ask why am I sharing this with everyone today? Very simply because I feel there are a lot more broken hearted people out there too hurt to share their pain. I just want to ensure that this does not lead to lots of wonderful loving people becoming distrustful and retreating from social activity and interaction.

Yes lots of people have had their feelings and egos hurt so what is the resolution. The only way I can think of extricating ones self from this pain without creating more pain and heartbreak is simply to be true to oneself and continue to follow the path of forgiveness and loving-kindness.

When we forgive and bless those who have wronged us we let the situation go and we are able to move on and focus on our lives and the people that matter the most to us and adjust quickly to new situations and scenarios. Without forgiveness we get stuck in a never ending cycle of resentment, anger, depression and a lot of other negative feelings and emotions which can eventually lead to hormonal fluctuations that can manifest as illness in out physical body. The most common of such illness rooted in deep resentment and angers is cancer!

I advise anyone who has gone through such heart break to consider it as an event of their evolution, a blessing that enables you to cleanse your physical, emotional, mental and energetic space of energies that are not required in your life. Once this space is clear it leaves space for something or someone far better to occupy it. Its simple physics the vacuum caused will be filled so not to worry you will not be alone for long.

Until such time as that vacuum is filled always be aware that you are not alone. Apart from the fact that we are spiritually all one and are connected there are beings and energies beyond our comprehension that are always there to protect, support and nurture us. So no matter how great the physical loss one is never abandoned and alone, at the end we are all one and connected.
