We’ve Been Grounded

The other day, I read an email by Wendy De Rosa from the School of Intuitive Studies, and she said the message that was strongly coming through for her was that Mother Nature was grounding us.

Do you remember the last time you were grounded? As it usually went, when we were “sent to our rooms” we were sent there for the purpose of reflection and redemption. It was a time for us to be still and sit with our actions so that we were able to own them and reroute.

In psychological or spiritual talk when we say someone needs grounding, we are essentially saying that they need to send energy from their jittery, overactive mind back down into their body. They need to come back to their senses, they need to breathe oxygen into their heart and the rest of their body so that they can declutter their brain, see clearly, and proceed.

Mother Nature is grounding us. We are being called to sit our butts down and embrace the stillness. The way we were running, the way our systems were set up, they were not built for us. Yes, I am also talking about the people “at the top.” We’ve created an individualistic universe with a capitalistic system built by slave owners. We created systems that ignored our own humanity. We forgot, or maybe some of us never realized, how to live.

We’ve been going, reaching, and running over others to meet our own needs. Now we are being forced to sit in the stillness, all of us. We’re not used to it because for so long our peace of mind came from ignoring it. We’ve been sent to our rooms and are being asked to slow down and reevaluate our actions.

Now is the time for us to do the work. Now, in this incredibly uncertain time, is the time for us to remember who we are. It is time for us to calm our jittery minds and breathe oxygen back into our hearts. We’ve been guiding with our minds for so long, it’s time to let our hearts lead the way. We need to rethink our mission here on earth.

Sit down. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath with the intention of connecting with your heart. Do it a few times. Why are you here? What is your purpose? Allow the messages to flow through you and listen to them.

We’ve been grounded, my friends. It’s time to call on our hearts and re-route.
