Feeling The Squeeze

1/11/2020

In a typical school year, we would start to feel the squeeze in February, but I'm feeling it now.  I don't know if it is because of the Full Moon, world events, or the return to a regular schedule post-holidays, but the pressure is building for many of us.  

If you are feeling this energetic compression, I invite you to explore viewing your current stressors with some imagery.  Imagine that tension you are feeling as the squeeze of an orange.  This pressure may be manifesting for you with headaches or body aches, emotional flooding, or illness.  You are feeling it from everywhere and are looking for a break.  The squeeze is unpleasant, but I want you to consider the juice that comes from this tension.  

You should be feeling raw, having been crushed from every angle.  It is a vulnerable feeling.  But you have survived.  And now, in private, you are given a chance to look at the juice you've produced.  What needed to get out of you has left.  With what will you fill yourself back up?  Will you want to drink this juice that you have in front of you, or do you need to filter it first?  Is the potency right, or do you need to feed your soul with something more? 

Consider this juice to be everything you need right now.  Optimism?  Perspective? Add what you need to the glass and imagine yourself sipping it and filling your soul up.  This is a renewal process.  Don't poison yourself with what hasn't served you in the past - what needed to get out.  Look at what will help nurture your inner being.  It is in this act that we continue to grow into our best selves.   

What does your best self need right now?
