As Above, So below…

This week my back fell apart, and for many of my patients their bodies fell apart (inexplicably for most).  And for hundreds of thousands of people in Haiti on Tuesday night, their entire world fell apart. 

I have, after having literally thousands of patient visits, become used to the way our bodies mirror the changes taking place on the planet, and the way many of my clients are tuned in to SOMETHING happening even before it does.  For many over the last few weeks, sleep has been poor, feelings of impatient and anxiety “climbing the walls” and the desire to hunker down at home have been common.  The spine  and digestion seem to be the big winners in our physical radar for something shifting massively on the planet over the last week. 

While separated by thousands of miles we are not separated from the people in Haiti.  Even if you don’t subscribe to the quantum physics piece that we are all connected at the atomic and energetic levels, we still connected as members of the human family.  So an entire country in ruins, the loss and grief of thousands of souls transitioning affects our collective family even if you don’t believe in energy of any kind. 

Hold them in your thoughts, keep sending positive energy and if you can send some money.  Thoughts are real, they have energy and intent, and if one soul is soothed by you holding them with love and good will then that will service be indeed.  Often we will not know the effects that our prayers or good thoughts have in the collective but I believe in that power nevertheless.

As the ground stops shaking and the recovery begins, our bodies will again find their center, although true north will be forever changed by what has transpired this week.  Certain eastern traditions teach us that when this many souls agree to transition together, a tremendous space in opened for all of humanity, for a paradigm shift in the heart of some kind.  I have seent his now with 9/11, Katrina, the tsunami.  We won’t know the nature of that shift for some time – a massive letting go.  Watch your dreams – are you dreaming at night of old friends, family, lovers, boyfriends, girlfriends?  Any unfinished business being wrapped up?  This is the energetic equivalent of a warm reboot and your relationship to everything that has happened in the past, your energetic and emotional relationship to all things will be shifted on some level.  You may just feel a sense of release or letting go, a sense of peace for that friend or your ex for whom there was some left over stuff. This may be followed by pain and discomfort in the thoracic spine (over the heart region), crying unexpectedly or feeling moved to tears, or pain in the low back and hips (root chakra or family - how we ground into the earth has moved).

Let us be grateful for the souls in Haiti who agreed to hold this space for us to continue our growth process, and perhaps now a measure of peace and healing can finally come to this tiny nation who has continued to survive while in the midst of tremendous corruption and so little support.
