Where Will You Put Your Time and Energy?

Feeling a little like a hamster on a wheel? The energy is so stirred up like the fall leaves when the wind blows them into a spinning circle on the ground. If you’re like most people, you don’t know how we’ve arrived at almost Halloween!

So first things first. Take a deep and cleansing breath and exhale, to slow your revving system down a bit. Take another one and on the exhale, slowly breathe out a gale wind. Breathe in deeply again, exhale fully to empty the stagnant air at the bottom of your lungs, and then breathe normally.

Now take a few minutes to change your mind or, more specifically, your thoughts. Astrologers, like Pam Younghans and Anne Ortelee, along with energy healer, Prune Harris, all agree that there is alignment with the stars and the season that portends a time to scrutinize how and what gets your time and energy.

I was just talking about this last weekend with my friend, Monika, when I realized that the trickiest thing about this for me, is letting go of things that no longer serve my Highest purpose.It’s important to not only decide what’s next, but how you will make room for the new energy coming in, whether it’s an idea, a relationship, or a work or home project.

It’s a process of releasing and gathering. Like the tide, when the water recedes, you may see some shells that weren’t visible before. You reach for them and gather a few, after putting back the ones that have big holes in them or are not just right, to keep. Then the water rushes in, again, and obscures your clear vision. Sometimes we only have a small window in which to make an accurate discernment about what we let go of and what we keep.

My fearful thoughts of disappointing others gets in my way of letting things go. Often I just add on to my schedule, without clearing space. I’m working on it now, and it’s not easy. I do know that it’s necessary and worth the effort.

This week, ask yourself, in Anne’s words, “What is holding you captive?” And then consider what can set you free. Awareness is the beginning of the process and then taking steps toward the freedom, follows.

Have at it and stay enchanted!
