A Beefed-Up Connection

After investing weeks, months, or the years that some of us require in order to remember Who We Are, it can feel like quite a setback to experience dismal moments (especially when they seem to last longer than we would like).  As physical beings, we can accept that mood changes are part of the human experience, and yet these vibrational ‘dips’ can produce unpleasant and ‘backwards’ feelings of disappointment in our ability to maintain our connection to Source.  Attempts to transform our disappointment into mild annoyance can provide some improvement, but even the slightly higher vibration of irritation is not satisfying once you have had the experience of a sustained Divine signal.

Intellectually, most of us understand the concept of allowing these feelings of uncertainty to ‘pass through’ our experience before they take root.  There are some occasions, however, when this knowledge (and the procedure to allow it) feels easier said than done.

Welcome to earth!   As part of the human race, we have many available circumstances to choose from that can trigger the onset of a dismal mood.  Physical exhaustion (as in lack of sleep), bad news, really bad news, worse news, or even a crappy weather day has the potential to present a challenge in maintaining an optimum connection to your Source of Well Being.

If you feel like you have spent at least forty-nine years overcoming unwanted patterns of self-destructive behavior and drama, it can be disappointing to find yourself entertaining an ancient instinct to run down the drain every time an unpleasant circumstance shows up in your experience.  Jeez!

It happens.  We are active participants within the human realm who are sensitive to our environment and its subsequent circumstances.  It is good to know that we have options that can redirect our momentum.

Since our connection to Source is not static, the ebb and flow is very much dependent on our deliberate awareness of its strength.  During those moments, or days, when my connection seems to reflect more ebb than flow, I have found that it is helpful to approach the tweaking process deliberately.

Deliberate intention to beef-up your connection to Source can be limited to small incremental blocks of time throughout the day.  Using this piece-by-piece method can be effective when you are feeling as if you have ‘accidentally’ found yourself in the midst of a shitty mood that seems to be lasting longer than you would like.

You may already have several elements in your repertoire that you trust to elevate your vibrational output.  This method will require that you rifle through those particular items that you have accumulated in your personal bag of tricks.  These items may include a particular song that lifts your spirit, or perhaps the memory of something that made you laugh with abandon.  Most likely, one of the items in your bag of tricks came to mind as you were reading this.  That’s the one!

If you cannot bring yourself to choose an item, I understand.  I know that sometimes identifying a personal smile-inducing item is not easy.  I can relate to how it feels during those times when you don’t even want to open the bag.  In fact, I know what it feels like when it seems like consulting a bag of tricks is pointless, because it won’t make a damn bit of difference in whatever is happening around you anyway.  It’s okay.  Since I have spent what could be HUNDREDS of lifetimes honing a proclivity toward low self-esteem, ironically, I am quite CONFIDENT that I rank among the highest professional levels when it comes to issues of self-worth.  I completely understand how difficult it can be to turn your attention away from ingrained patterns of disappointment and try to ‘look’ for something that makes you smile.

You are smart, so you may be fully aware that reacting to dismal circumstances with lowered vibrations are carrying you further away from your Source, and yet the last thing that you FEEL like doing is reviewing a personal list of things that have been known to bring you a smile. (Really?!?…because putting a smiley-faced band-aid on a gaping wound is going to do something?!)  However, if you keep in mind that you only have to pick ONE, the task may not seem as daunting (or repulsive) as your dismal mindset would insist.  In addition, reminding yourself that this is the action taken by a deliberate creator (and a most practical witch) helps a little, too.  If you are still unable to open your bag of tricks and choose an item, you are more than welcome to borrow one of mine.  I suggest listening to Karl Jenkins’ live performance of Adiemus (if you are halfway down the drain) or Le Festin (if you feel as if you may be only headed toward the drain.)  The resonance of vibrations offered in either of these songs can assist in enhancing the network of connections between conscious mind and spiritual Source.  (Links are provided on the right side of the home page for this site)

Once you choose a reliable item from your bag of tricks (or mine), commit to spending a few minutes out of the upcoming hour using it.  While you are holding your image, or listening to your favorite song during this allotted time, imagine that this effort is creating a new connection, almost as if it were an additional ‘wire’ that you are adding to the pathway that exists between your physical self and your Source.  The main connection is already there.  You are not concerned about this prevailing ‘cable’ at the moment (since it seems to be weak, anyway).  You are focused only on the new connection that your participation in this ’smile factor’ activity is creating.

Upon the completion of your first effort, you may feel no immediate improvement in your mood.  It’s okay.  Higher Self honors the effort you have made in creating an additional pathway.  The less time that you stress over the lack of perceived improvement in your vibrational alignment, the better.  Know that you have the upcoming hour to add an additional connection, and trust that these deliberate efforts have been duly noted.

Using this one-hour-at-a-time method to deliberately create new connections along the pathway between your conscious self and your spiritual Source will beef-up your system in due time.  The deliberate expansion of this network eventually makes a noticeable difference in your ability to maintain a higher vibrational level for longer periods of time.  Bad news, worse news, or even a shitty day will be no match for a carefully constructed, kick-ass system.  Uninterrupted communication between yourself and your Power Source will be your own beautiful creation in and of itself, and dismal moments will be a mere and passing memory.

This is a promise from a practical, and (former) professional low-self esteem witch:)
