Is This Spiritual Bypassing?

I was asked if all this talk of Love and Kindness is really a sort of spiritual bypassing. You know, basically pretending that everything is ok, and only allowing for "positive" outcomes.

Am I suggesting that we cover up toxic waste with some pretty flowers? Rainbows and unicorns?

It is an understandable question...especially if you are experiencing being in the middle of the muck with no protective gear, and no clear way to escape. ...

We all know that there are terrible things occurring in the world...all over the globe, and also in our backyards.

It is also true that even in our own more personal circumstances, bad things happen, even to good, kind, and loving people.

There are so many external things we can't control, no matter how much Love we bring to the world.

Truly, there are legitimate reasons for your discomfort. Whether it's tension and conflict in your relationship, or the upside down state of the planet.

Of course you are feeling confused, hurt, afraid.

Of course your nervous system is dis-regulated.

Choosing Love does not make us immune to painful, uncomfortable or catastrophic things.

Choosing Love gives us the ability to first tune into our own experience with compassion and kindness.

We are not looking to resist the pain we feel. We simply want to give it Love.

Inward first.

Once your nervous system has settled down, you will have more access to your inner resources which will help you get clarity about what you can do next, if there is indeed something that needs to be done; or about how to be still and allow the next right thing to unfold.

From this grounded and centered place, you can influence the energy of everyone and everything around you.

One moment at a time.

With compassion. With Kindness. With Love.

Always,

Carol
