Let Your Energy Lead the Way…

Exhausted? If so youāre not alone. Many people are at the moment. Yet on the other hand many others are experiencing high energy and laser-sharp clarity of inner vision. Itās those extremes again, and isnāt it easy to judge ourselves accordingly and decide if weāre energised weāre doing it ārightā and if weāre not weāre doing it āwrongā? But today the planets encourage us not to take such a black and white view, remembering that these ups and downs of energy, enthusiasm and progress are all part of the process weāre going through. It doesnāt matter where you are on the spectrum of experience, youāre in the programme and thatās what counts!
Itās important to remember that the quality of our energy levels, be they physical, emotional or spiritual, reveal to us the tasks and activities to which we can best attend. Thereās little point setting out to conquer the world when weād rather curl up under the duvet and remain unconscious, and thereās little to be gained by sitting in quiet contemplation when weāre just itching to get out there and conquer the world! We need to respect the energy flowing through us at any one time and take heed of its messages. The more we can do this, the better able we become to respond to life in the moment, discerning what it needs from us and when. Otherwise we become numbed to its messages and clues, unwittingly demanding they become louder and more intrusive to get our attention.
Of course, everyday life inevitably, and often unavoidably, demands that we override our natural rhythms and energy flows at times. We have to go to work whether we like it or not. We canāt lie in bed when the kids need feeding and even the garden demands attention according to its own timetable! But there is usually some way we can honour our predominant energy levels more than weāre doing right now. It may just be committing to a stroll for half an hour in our lunch break, or taking a nap when we think we should really be doing the washing up. Or perhaps it entails changing arrangements to allow for an upsurge in energy which means we can now do something thatās been weighing on our mind.
Ultimately we are all just energy, vibrating at different rates and in different ways. Trying to push on through exhaustion is like forcing too strong a current through an electrical fuse. Eventually itāll blow and all energy flow will stop. Likewise we donāt use the brightest light bulb we can find for our bedside lamp! We need to use the energy available to us appropriately. In this way weāre signalling to the universe our desire to be in deeper and deeper communion with it and it will respond in kind, embracing us into greater intimacy.
The cosmos speaks loud and clear on this, and yet we still think we know best! So just for today letās agree that we donāt, that the universe knows better than we do. If it says rest, weāll do it, and if it says jump higher than you ever have before, weāll do that too. Follow your energy today, and see where it leadsā¦
Enjoy your day.
