Let It Bleed

It seems that the new administration in our White House is stirring up some serious emotion in a good many of us.

On one side, people are all over the negative-emotion spectrum, feeling everything from fury and loathing, to practically unbearable anxiety and fear. On the other side .. the side that somehow supports the new administration .. there can’t help but be some deeply rooted reasons, based in similar negative-emotion, around what they are hoping will change in order to promote more ease in our everyday lives.

I am of the belief that somewhere deep inside our biological clocks, we have always known this was coming.

If we knew it was coming, there must be a GOOD reason for it.

Rather than delve into the destructive attitudes and practices that got us to this tipping point, I would like to explore, today, how it is actually SERVING us .. both individually and as a species.

I confidently believe, armed with the integrity-filled expertise of many a scientist, philosopher, and wise-person, that I have reached a richly plausible conclusion.

One word. Evolution.

We are smack dab in the middle of an Evolution Revolution, my friends, and there ain’t no backing out of it (🎶 Ain’t no stopping us no-ow 🎶). We have all volunteered to be here during this most exciting, tumultuous, and ca-razy of times.

Does this, somehow, ring true somewhere in the deepest fibers of your being? I hope so, because it makes what we are going through a little more tolerable when we know we aren’t victims to something outside ourselves.

And the only way out to the glory on the other side, is THROUGH the painful emotions that are coming up. WHY? Because the alchemical process we are ALL undergoing is akin to a sort of roto-rooting of all our old emotional baggage. Yep, we are preparing to FLY FREE on the other side of this crescendo of awfulness. No charge for additional baggage because we won't HAVE any!

It is said, by the leading edge thinkers (in both physics and metaphysics), that every single emotional experience we’ve had, or been exposed to (by our parents, friends, abusers, clergy, media), is recorded in our cellular memory. NOT in our brains, but in the cells of our BODIES (evidenced by the fact that when someone gets an organ transplant, they start to exhibit the emotional preferences and behaviors of their donor).

The bulk of these memories live below the surface of our conscious minds, and here’s the kicker .. the SUBCONSCIOUS memories we have stored in our bodies have a much stronger hold on our emotional actions and reactions then the conscious ones we have up in our brains, causing us to constantly be pulled hither and yon by triggers of which we aren't even aware! #NoFun

Here’s how it works: Something happens in the outside world .. Trump does something that feels like a human rights violation to the people that do not want him in office, that has to now be vehemently defended by the people that do. We are ALL up in arms! We are fighting amongst ourselves and each other. Trust is being breached. Relationships are being breached. People feel unsafe. On a deeper, evolutionary level, what is REALLY happening is that our subconscious memories are being poked, causing us to react personally rather than standing our ground and figuring out, from an unshaken, warm, strong place, how, best, to keep balance, sanity, and justice in our lives.

The first step of our solution is that WE HAVE TO GET THESE MEMORIES OUT of our cells before we have any hope of living a sustainably fulfilling life.

John Bradshaw was talking about this decades ago on PBS. #ChampioningYourInnerChild

The absolute irrefutable truth is that there is no amount of positive thinking that will create sustainable results if we have emotional memories still living in our bodies that dictate the contrary. Write this down. Underline it. Speak it out loud. Then do what you have to do to bring that s*#t up and clear it out.

How do we do this?

WE LET IT BLEED.

We FEEL it when it comes up .. our anger, our sadness, our embarrassment, our despair, our fury .. and we EXPRESS it .. with the clear intention of getting it the hell out of our systems once and for all. One way to do this is to put it on paper and burn the paper (responsibly, of course) as we state, “I release these memories now as holding on to them no longer serves me in an positive way.” To cinch the process, once the paper is in ashes, we flush the ashes down the toilet stating the same, “I release these memories now as holding on to them no longer serves me in an positive way.” (There are more ways as well but they are not as easy to adequately take you through in a brief writing.)

We bleed it out, knowing that this cleaning .. this clearing .. this emptying of the old and harmful .. is making space for the NEW .. the healthy .. the hopeful .. the nourishing of our very hearts, cells, and souls.

Here is the part where I would normally ask if you are up for this but guess what? None of us have a choice anymore! This is a Need-To-Do now, as opposed to a Nice-To-Do. Our grace period has expired.

ACTION: Our Cosmic Assignment between now and the March Equinox (3.20.17) is to let our hearts bleed while giving our feelings an audience. Cry, wail, growl, writhe .. with the express purpose of RELEASING that energy from your system once and for all. Scream it out. Bleed it out. Then say, “Never to return. Amen.”

The final step of this process, and one that is quite crucial if you don't want all the hard stuff to move right back in to your newly vacated, sparkly clean cell space, is to FILL YOURSELF WITH THE RADIANT LIGHT OF THE SUN. Every cell. To the brim. Then feel it radiating out to your home, your loved ones, and world at large.

Then keep filling yourself up. All day. All night. Whenever you think of it (I put up notes to remind me).

I promise that when you do this process, you WILL feel palpable relief (it may take several rounds .. there’s a LOT to clear in most of us). I promise that you will. And you can pride yourself on the fact that you have taken a clear and present step toward not only your evolution, but the evolution of all of humankind. #EvolutionRevolution
