When There's Nowhere Else To Go

Sometimes you just get caught up in the wheel of life and find yourself spinning in a rut that doesn't seem to be going anywhere other than deeper into the muck.

When you think about it, you'll notice this often happens after periods of grace and flow when you were feeling really good and could do no wrong. Then something happens. It could be a minor irritation or a major upset that shifted the energies but chances are you didn't like it and you didn't really want to acknowledge it, you just wanted that feel good flow to go on and on and on. But it didn't and the more you tried to ignore the 'negative' energy the worse it got.

So how do you get out of this sticky cycle? The truth is something usually happens eventually to shift the energies back into a more flowing state whether you are aware of it or not. There is something you can do however to move with the energies and allow whatever has brought you down to continue flowing through instead of jamming you up. You can stop resisting the lower energies.

When we surrender to the feelings that are already there and give them loving attention instead of trying to ignore them or give them criticism and judgment, it's truly amazing how quickly they can shift. I'm not talking about surrendering to the beliefs we have about what we feel, that's what we need to question, gently mind you, but question none the less.

Our bodies are amazing messengers, telling us when something is hurting and needing some TLC. The problems arise when we want to shoot the messenger instead of saying no thanks when the messages are false (i.e. I can't, I'm worthless, it's impossible, etc.). When we appreciate the messenger and receive the gift it can move on and allow whatever possibility comes next.

The wheel of life keeps turning. The question is, is it stuck in the mud or humming along the highway.
