Energy Reading March 29–April 4, 2022: We're In For An Emotional Roller Coaster

If you weren't interested in personal growth work before the pandemic arrived, it left many of us with no choice but to look within and see if we liked what we saw or not. In some cases, it was also a matter of looking externally and seeing that it wasn't matching up with what we wanted internally. 

You might be having some realizations this week, such as becoming aware of unhealthy familial patterns that you're unsure how to change. Or perhaps you feel like you deserve a job you love, but you're not sure how to make it happen.

As the week goes on, you could feel like you've integrated your realizations and your future is brimming with possibilities, only to be confronted with another internal realization that makes you question your next steps—again.

The underlying theme that may come up is, "But who am I without this?" Just hold on for one more day (thank you, Wilson Phillips) because you'll find out a bit more each day about how everything fits perfectly into place.

As cliché as it sounds, our lives really are perfectly imperfect. It can just be hard to feel the perfection of it all, as the puzzle pieces don't seem like they come together. But if you resist when it gets a little uncomfortable, you could run into delays.

A message that's coming in loud and clear this week is to tune into your heart as a way to assimilate these ups and downs. Your heart chakra can be your anchor this week as you realize what isn't working—and open up to what is. If you're feeling a bit topsy-turvy, breathe into your heart and give yourself some compassion. The art of being human is messy, after all.

Then, once you're feeling like everything is just as you like it, put your hand on your heart and feel into your gratitude for the wonder of being a human. If you are a regular of this column, you will no doubt know what's coming next: Your inner child is wanting your attention at both stops of this up-and-down rotation! 

As I teach in my inner child healing class, the loving inner parent is essential for giving you a steady container for the ups and downs we experience in life. This week, that loving parent can help expand your capacity for weathering any uncertainty and for feeling comfortable with joy and abundance.

Think of someone you feel completely safe with. Imagine how you feel with that person. Now, take a breath, put your hand on your heart, and imagine your heart expanding.

Breathe into it and feel that sensation of safety and compassion you receive from this person expanding through your whole heart chakra. Visualize it getting bigger, filling up your whole aura. Sit with that feeling for as long as you like.

Throughout the day, take a breath into your heart and recall that feeling. When any uncertainty or reluctance to feel joy comes in, breathe into your heart and remember this.
