I’m thinking about for/against, yes/no, good/bad and other polarities, and about how electrical current works. Harnessing the polar nature of atoms (electron and protons) makes electricity, right?
Yes, in a stable relationship and environment, the battery here produces current which in turn produces light. Until the battery runs out…
So how do you make a self-recharging battery?
Interesting approach. You are in fact a self-recharging battery. You eat to refuel your body. You also decide whether to ‘burn’ as a 20 watt bulb or a 100 watt bulb in the world, according to your ‘energy’ levels.
So what if we want to burn as a 100 watt bulb in the world? ‘Shine bright like a diamond.’
Shine bright like a bulb, or like a diamond..?
The bulb burns energy to create light, til the energy source becomes depleted.
The diamond reflects light, indefinitely, and as long as it is exposed to the light.
Oh, man. That is so helpful. I’ve been trying to shine like a bulb. Hence: exhausted and fragile.
I ran a particular training session in a firm yesterday, the 5th out of a record-breaking six trainings this week, for Mental Health Awareness Week. I gave it my ALL (as ever), seeking to: over-deliver, give double value, accommodate all in the room, adapt my style minute by minute according to the ‘temperature’ in the room, include and honour everyone. Like all my trainings, I had designed the content, bespoke to the requirements of the company. After universally warm and grateful farewells from participants and organisers, I picked up my feedback forms to look at the responses. There was my first ever negative evaluation. The three content-related boxes were scored as “Not helpful”. On the back: ‘Focus on underlying issues not how to treat the symptoms.’ I’d been brought in to train on managing stress in the workplace. I knew it wasn’t my role to stop their workplace being stressful! I knew I’d triggered their anger about their company’s insane working environment. I could see they also rated me and my training style as “Good”. But nonetheless, this person’s anonymous shin-kicking absolutely knocked the stuffing out of me, and I sat there in tears til I could gather myself enough to get to the car where I then just sat and wailed. It was the shock – I normally pick up when someone’s not on board. How could I have missed someone countering with disdain in the room. And how could someone silently leave such an unpleasant message behind them without a word?
Maybe here’s the thing: I was exhausted and mortally hurt because… I’d been focusing on shining my light. I’d burnt up good, valuable, precious energy on that session. And I wanted ‘my’ return: the positive feedback.
But this I know. However many good feedbacks I get, it’s not replenishing my expended energy levels.
I need to start to reflecting light, not producing it. Yes? Or else I’m going to burn out… again. Right? I’m so tired..!
What does it take to be a reflector of light, rather than a generator/expender?
So much here. Such a big day yesterday. You are held, dear soul. And loved. You are loved for seeking to bring in light in any way. We are grateful to you for your efforts. Your precious energy is gratefully received by the universe. You are burning brightly. You are alight. We will help you regulate your electrical systems so that you can be charged up more as by a solar panel and less as by a coal-burning power plant.
Yes!!! That’s what I want. A source of internal renewable energy. So I’m not leaning on, for example, eating masses… and pushing through… and generating smoke… and creating heat in order to do or move. Make me powered by renewable energy. Let the light empower me, that I may shine or reflect or whatever… Just stop this power drain. I’m too tired and close to flat out adrenal fatigue again.
Electrical ordering of the physical frame. It starts with…?
Qigong. I know. Okalrightready. I’ll do it today.
Hey… Come back, dear soul. This is the message for you:
Let the Light in, and it will shine out. You will be its conduit. It’s a sustainable, renewable, ever-self-recharging process. It starts with taking in the Light.
Ah, I see. ‘I am taking in the Light’? Is that it?
Nearly! I am letting the Light in. You needn’t ‘reach and take’. The Light is hovering about you ready to ‘come in’ at any time, and recalibrate your electrical systems. Your job is merely to relax (surrender) enough for it to come in. The Light is the active force for once – not you, oh beloved, frazzled, tired one! You are the ‘receptive’ one here…
The yin…
The receiving one, the absorbing one…
I feel I need to be quite still to let it in.
Yes, a state of inner stillness promotes receptivity of higher frequencies.
“I am letting in the Light” – still requires some affirmative ‘door-opening’ action
“I am receiving Light” – feels a bit floaty to you?
Try this – like a toothbrush…
I am recharging my battery ?
There’s something about reordering my overcharged/undercharged electrical system….
How about “I am receiving good energy”?
Aha… after a meditation and a spot of qigong, I think it’s this:
I am charging my battery with good energy ✨?✨
Nearly!! But a beautiful, nurturing hug, and some healing shiatsu, from G just gave me a more accurate word than ‘charging’: replenishing. And thus…
I am replenished by good energy ✨?✨
