In the Midst of Crisis
How can we ease this suffering? Shift in Action is a community I trust in. I trust in the knowledge, insight and guidance made available through this and other linked sites. If it is considered inappropriate for me to post the following questions, please do not hesitate to correct me.
I feel overwhelmed at the moment. I am overwhelmed by an immense feeling of sadness and desperation. If I hadn't come into contact with ideas and information explaining the beauty in creation, and my role in this reality, my depression would be far worse. My depression currently is not fueled by events in my direct sphere, yet the events that have brought me to my knees are just as traumatic as if I were experiencing it first hand.
Having had read Dr. Radin's Entangled minds, I am convinced that I am feeling the pains of the oppressed around the world. As soon as I wake in the morning, I feel as if I have just left the worst horror I could imagine, and I cry in complete bewilderness. I feel the women being torn from their children, I feel the pain from the bombs, I feel the tearing of flesh, and all this I face with sincere intent to alter what I feel. I surround those in the world living in this way with blue loving compassionate light, I think positive enlightened thoughts, and I pray out loud that we may all be doing the same at that very same moment.
I guess I am here today to ask for help. How do we keep pushing forward through our will to create something different, while feeling so much pain? It is difficult sometimes to use energy work on oneself to heal a painful ailment-especially during extreme pain, and I find it to be similar in this sense as well. It is as if the pain of the world has climaxed, and there is almost know way I can work enough energy to even coming remotely close to ending or changing that flow of energy.
I guess I feel weak and as if I am failing. So I am seeking advice, as a young one amongst teachers, how do we push forward and not obsorb so much of this pain?
Again, I apologize if this is inappropriate, but I sincerely wish to learn these skills, so maybe I can awaken being delighted my children are alive and beautiful, instead of clinging to them as if I had just witnessed their fate.
