Please Pardon the Potty Metaphor...
...but we need to flush our crap right now.
Forgive me for being graphic; I’ve tried others, but only one metaphor will do to capture the observation I wish to convey to you today, Sensitive Souls: We are being offered a cosmic enema. This cleansing remedy is arriving in the form of a custom-made, therapeutic dose of whatever it is we’ve been avoiding, ignoring or denying. As part of a planetary and personal detoxification process, each of us is being presented with an opportunity to cleanse the energy field within and around us of all of the dense, antisocial or toxic energies we’ve stored up for a lifetime.
Also known as personal “baggage,” things like blame, judgment, trauma, grudges, feelings of victimization, undigested grief, rage and acts of self-sabotage are what most people are used to holding within their physical bodies and the nonphysical energy field that exists around them. Our bodies and energy fields have become constipated with this crap and therefore subject to stagnation, disease and dysfunction.
Tragically, a state of energetic dis-ease and dys-function is so prevalent, so widespread and so ingrained in society, that for most of us, this emotional and energetic constipation feels like our “comfort zone.”
Despite the discomfort that disempowering beliefs cause, we usually fail to notice them as the source of our distress and therefore think we’re powerless to effect positive change.
When you’re clogged up with toxicity, you’re blocked from knowing and becoming the most enlightened version of yourself. The more attached you are to your crap, the more unpleasant the detox experience will be. The more you fight the truth that wants to reveal itself to you through your crap, the more your crap will become stubbornly impacted. On the other hand, if you can take yourself lightly and find humor in the absurdity of your crap, you can just flush it without the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth that is characteristic of the humorless, self-important ego self.
Consenting to this “turbo spiritual cleanse” has massive personal and planetary benefits, as it enables us to resolve a lifetime of unfinished business in record time. Dissolving the energetic clogs will make each of us an open, but grounded physical and nonphysical ecosystem unto ourselves. We will then have the capacity to receive, integrate and broadcast divine intelligence through our hearts, minds and bodies. Light can flow in, around and through us to become anchored on earth in the form of us: our light, our laughter, our wisdom and our love will broadcast out in a nonphysical ripple that others can perceive intuitively.
The remedy to that which ails each of us and the planet lies in the spiritual practice known as Alchemy: If you dare to face the darkness which you’ve previously hidden, you will discover the power of your light. If you can simultaneously welcome both your darkness and your light, you will expand exponentially into a new form of you. You will realize that your Real Self expresses itself in energetic light codes that have the illuminating power to dissipate darkness. You can experience an instantaneous healing of a lifetime’s worth of personal baggage if you have the capacity to imagine and allow it to manifest through the portal of your heart and soul.
Your mind is a trickster and makes a better servant than master. Use it to declare your intent and consent to your light, which can dissolve anything that is not authentically you without any strenuous effort on your part. Allowing is less an exertion of the mind and more a spiritual gesture of willingness to acknowledge and feel that which was previously denied. Free of the corrupting influence of your old baggage, you will automatically become the next best version of yourself…if you can bypass your meaning-making brain long enough to tell yourself a wholly (holy) new story.
We are meaning makers. We tell stories and we live by myths. When we don’t know a detail, we tend to fill in the gaps in our knowledge with a made up story and then believe it as if it’s a proven fact. Many tales told to us were also untrue. We imbibed and regurgitated false notions about ourselves, the world around us and Source energy from our very first moment on the planet right along with our mother’s milk. From generation to generation, each person has inherited stories about the world and the nature of a human being that have kept us feeling small, sinful and insignificant, making us easier to exploit and control en masse.
In an effort to survive, we agreed with the world around us. Many of us learned to diminish ourselves by dimming our light, staying silent or scaling back our dreams. Some of us were taught to be ashamed of our unique light, while other Sensitive Souls dialed back their creative expression to avoid making others feel jealous or inferior. Shackled by these limiting beliefs and false ideologies, we told ourselves elaborate consolation stories to make this prison-like existence more palatable. But if the prison bars are made up of all the stories we’ve told ourselves, then only we have the power to edit and retell those stories in a more soul- and heart-centered way.
Free Yourself by Updating Your Stories:
Whenever you’re in physical pain, feeling ill or energetically weighed down with what’s heavy on your heart, avoid running from it or explaining why. Instead, welcome it as an uncomfortable remedy from your Inner Medicine Man/Woman, the aspect of you that seeks only goodness and truth for you. Embrace whatever is happening as if you planned it (you did!) Recognize that when something feels bad, it may not be bad; it may be a messenger, helpfully presenting itself for your review and to provide you with an opportunity to release it once and for all. Allow the story to recompose itself around the wisdom you’ve gained or the kindness you’ve shown to yourself or another.
Instead of just reacting to your thoughts emotionally or seeking confirmation outside of yourself, get to know your own mind by directly challenging your thoughts. When upset, ask yourself: Is the story I’m telling myself about this situation true? How do I know for certain? Can something else also be true at the same time?
Avoid looking to the past for solutions to your current challenges. Instead, use your imagination to ask: What’s the best thing I can do (or NOT do) in this situation that benefits all concerned? (Live that question, as the answer is often complex, counterintuitive and may reveal itself to you only over time.)
To actively deconstruct disempowering stories, refrain from judging yourself, others or situations you observe. Instead, train yourself to argue an opposing point of view whenever you’re feeling certain about something. Instead of accepting your ego-mind’s version of events, which is typically based on a shopworn story from the past, tell the story from a future perspective, OR tell it from another person’s point of view OR remove the emotion and simply describe what you observe as neutrally as possible, just the facts, sir or ma’am, just the facts. Delete opinions, characterizations, conclusions or contradictions.
The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.― Albert Einstein
Sensitive Soul, you are not meant to be bound by the undigested emotions and traumatic experiences from your past. It is always your choice whether to hold on or let go, but the spiritual rewards of letting go are greatly enhanced now. I recommend that you give yourself permission to lovingly detach from whatever no longer serves your highest good right now. Relinquish those attitudes, habits or behaviors you’ve outgrown. Cooperate with the cosmos; consent to having stored toxicity cleansed from your body and your energy field, as your God-given potential will remain intertwined and trapped alongside the crap until you decide to flush it. Avoid clinging to a past version of you. Instead, reinvent yourself as often as necessary—it’s your birthright as a co-creator with Source. Dare to dream again.
By committing more fully to your spiritual path, and listening to your inner voice, your soul will show you how to utilize your light to dissolve darkness within and around you as you become all that you were meant to become. Your willingness to submit to this cleanse also helps to more quickly dismantle the inhumane human planetary systems currently in place, which are made up of individuals just like you and me. The more quickly each of us evolves past war, fear and greed mindsets, the sooner tyrannical systems will disintegrate, topple and be replaced by individuals with a more humane consciousness. Whenever we uplift ourselves, we make it easier for others to also rise above past pain and limitation to create anew.
Whether you feel ready or not, you will be faced with false stories to confront. Whether it’s the ones you’ve embroidered to cover up the true you or the “official” pronouncements coming through your screens, falsity is in your face right now, Sensitive Soul. You can try to avoid, blame, explain or distract yourself from it, but the intensity will continue to increase and the pressure to evolve will continue to build throughout the year. The silver lining to the sometimes stinky process of letting go of our crap is the quick-and-dirty way we get to evolve spiritually right now. By agreeing to the cosmic cleanse, you will become the most evolved version of yourself possible in the least amount of time. When you get out of your mind and follow your bliss, your therapeutic dose of reality will pass smoothly, leaving you open to reveal more of your enlightened self.
No forgiving needed Katie - ‘cosmic enema’ is fantastic metaphor!
Well done, Katie. This is very timely for me in more ways than one, lol. I like the "potty" metaphor.
It really works for me. Sometimes you just have to get "raw" about it to wake us up to get the message. I so appreciate the unique, creative and graphic ways you devise to get us to evolve into that best version of ourselves. I'm at a pretty critical place at the moment, so it's important that I decide how to go forward so I don't get bogged down in that toxic crap. So thanks a lot for this.
