In the Flow with Healing Waters

Systems are failing

Wherever I look these days I see big infrastructure systems seem to be faltering and needing to change. 

Education Systems

Medical Systems

Political Systems

Automative Systems

Here are some examples I have seen very recently:

My son is questioning college as he doesn’t feel sure that all the debt he will acquire is going to be worth it in the end.

My visit to the hospital with a sick loved one ended with a very long wait, lots of medications, many follow ups with other doctors and big bills on the back end.

I don’t have to say much about the political wars between parties. People seem to want to throw out their opinions and want to convince anyone who listens to join in on their views. 

Who can find an actual person to talk to when you call a big corporation now a days.  And when you finally can get through to a real person, are they able to give you the help you need?

I see problems all over the place and it isn’t easy to accept and live life.  I am a change agent.  I want to make things better, easier, faster, more logical.  And lately I have found myself frustrated, unsure, and quite frankly wondering what is going on and how are we going to move through these times. 

So I sit.  I sit to help myself get centered again.  Does it work?  Sure, but I must practice this a lot.  And I find myself having to increase my sitting time to help me stay centered during all these times of turbulence. 

I believe these systems have to start failing in order to come back with new and better systems.   An example was when my husband and I traveled to Germany.  We found the train system was amazing.  There was a central train depot in Munich that had all these trains going out (kind of like octopus arms) to reach all the cities in all different directions.  When the automated train would reach the end, It would return to the depot.  Then do it all over again, and again and again.  It was such a simple and easy system to follow, we thought it was brilliant.  However, in the middle of Germany to have a system built like this, the city had to fall, and it did when it was turned into rubble during WWII. 

I don’t think the systems need to crumble like the above example, but we need to wake up to a new way of being. 

So I come back to “what do I do?”  I am not on the board of the USA Universities (there is probably nothing like this that exists anyway) or a Medical Board.  As for the politics, I have to work hard to figure out what candidates stand for and remember their names and vote that way. 

It feels lately like I don’t have any way of changing any of these big things.  But, I can help myself.  I can stabilize myself while all this chaos is going on around me.  That is literally the only thing I feel like I can do and keep doing my life.  Sometimes it doesn’t feel like much, but it sure does feel better when I do. 

I think a lot of us are feeling chaos right now.  Lots of changes. Lots of emotions from others. Lots of unsureness of the future.  If you feel this, I encourage you to sit, get outside in nature, stop and feel the air, listen to your favorite music instead of the news, listen or read a good book, breath in the fall colors, call and get a balance, sit in the Energy Enhancement Room, try out our Soundbed….these will help you stop and be present.   

Helping yourself stay in your flow,
