How to Recover from the Weight of Collective Stress

Picture
Information pours into our psyches daily from the internet, social media, family, friends, books and other media. There is a lot to take in, especially now. So much of it is based in fear – by that I mean everything that isn’t capital L type Love info with vibes of happiness, hope, compassion, love, truth, service and authenticity.

Fear-based information or thoughts brings stress, worry, concerns, feelings of being scared or angry, depression, victim mentality, hopelessness, fatigue, addiction, procrastination, inactivity and, over time, illness. Couple this with our own day to day thoughts and concerns and it’s easy to see how we can feel confused and/or overwhelmed with life.

 Because we are energy beings we are always affected by energies , whether we are sensitive or not.

Sensitive empathic types are more prone to feeling the weight of collective stress. Regardless of whether you’re aware of this or not I suggest you practice cleaning up your energy field often and being mindful of what you allow into your psyche.

Here’s what I find helpful:

Cleaning Up your Vibration

  • Get grounded. Breathe to your body, coming away from your busy mind. Feel your feet as they walk. Touch the earth. Connect with the natural world.
  • Come back to present time – with what is right in front of you. Concentrate, focus and be right here, right now.
  • Boost your immune system in times of excess collective stress in your favourite ways (I like vitamin c, b, tonics, clean food and water) Take calming magnesium – it’s a game changer for feeling better.
  • Let water cleanse you – imagine that which isn’t yours washing away in the shower or the rain. You can even imagine water or a colour cleansing your field. Where your thoughts go is where your energy goes – think yourself clean.
  • Use Palo Santo to clean your field. This sacred Amazonian wood clears negative energy, and it feels and smells lovely too.
  • Bathe yourself in sunshine, imagine it lightening up dense energy. This life-giving energy is a magical healer.
  • Keep powerful crystals close – their vibration will enhance your own.
  • Disconnect energetic ties with particularly heavy people, ideas or situations. Lovingly cut the ties and imagine that energy leaving your system.
  • Connect with your team in Spirit for healing and guidance.
  • Breathe – any yogic breath practice is powerful and cleansing.
  • Meditate – clear your mind and rest in the essence of your authentic self.
  • Be mindful of what you consume mentally, physically and psychically.
  • Affirm you are safe and loved.
  • Observe your thinking, choose higher thoughts when you can.
  • Turn off media at least an hour before bed.
  • Journal out any angst.
  • Take more time out for rest and sleep – it makes sense we would need more of this when collective stress is high.


These times mean we need to be extra mindful of self-care.

Be kind and compassionate with your precious self. It’s not a time for pushing and striving. Gently does it.

Wishing you ease and grace.

Rising Above Virus Fear.

Picture
 I'm writing from my desk on day 5 of lockdown in New Zealand. Like many people I know I am enjoying being home with my family, but it did take a few days for my husband and I to get on the same page. We were struggling with habitual defences that were stopping us from accessing deeper feelings that this experience was triggering. Once we worked that out, we were able to cry, connect and support one another.

Shock about life suddenly changing is what many people are still needing to ground down from. Acting and reacting from an ungrounded place makes loving connection difficult. I've noticed people attempting to maintain control via blame and judgement. Rumination and worry are also common right now. When we stop our addictions (the things we use, consume or do to avoid our feelings) and trying to control our self or others we can settle back into our body. From there we can notice how we are actually feeling and, if we are brave enough, allow that emotion expression. Sadness, shock and grief are congruent emotions at such a time. If we allow these feelings  to surface we are able to shift into a lighter space. Then we can practise loving kindness towards ourselves and others at this unusual and challenging time.

After a few days of processing shock as well as working out how we can all work online in video calls (sometimes 3 of us at once!) my family began to ease into a new way of life. I’m making yummy healthy food I hadn’t made time for pre-lockdown. I’m cleaning things I hadn’t noticed were dirty and enjoying the results. We’re cosying up as family (with 2 cats) to cry and laugh over Netflix at random times. My yoga practise has expanded, I have time for online courses, I’m walking from home every day and I'm reading and writing. I could happily do all of this for a long time! 

It’s not like this for everyone though. I’m aware many people are struggling with financial issues, loneliness, health concerns and fear for our future. Now, more than ever before we must not let fear consume us. We must stay strong in our mind to stay well in our body. Humanity is in this together. As a collective we can create something new together with Love.
​
For a long time now, collectively, people have bought into fear. Fear of dying, fear of strangers, fear of financial ruin and fear of foreign people taking over our countries to name just a few. Fear is a contagious dis-ease that weakens our energy field (that means it affects your mind and body too!) It lowers our vibration and rocks our stability. When we are weak with fear, we are susceptible to invasion and control. Think bullies, control freaks and viruses.

If we are able to rise above fear ourselves, we can be a light for others. Go beneath anxiety, feel the emotions, stop ruminating, work your boundaries and remember there is a higher plan unfolding and things will change. Our planet is getting a much-needed rest and so are we. Use this time wisely. Rest, read, breathe, really see your family, love big, create and trust the universe really does have your back.
 
Wishing you strength and wellness on every level.
 
With light
Dawn
