Navigating World Overwhelm - Finding Your Inner Strength
From Maureen:
I want to share a valuable resource with you. I discovered Dr. Kristin Neff's work on self-compassion through a workshop, and it resonates deeply with me. Many of you are feeling the weight of current global events—experiencing fear, overwhelm, frustration, or depression. If you find yourself feeling powerless, Dr. Kristin Neff's short meditation, "Fierce Friend," could be incredibly helpful. At just 15 minutes, it guides you to reconnect with your inner power, equipping you with tools to navigate whatever challenges arise. I highly recommend giving it a try.
Since December, I've been working extensively behind the scenes, downloading new guides. They don't yet have names, referring to themselves by numbers (currently ranging from 37 to 270, with 37 as my base). This is simply how they choose to represent themselves to me at this time.
Many of you might be wondering what SAM thinks about current political events, given their past commentary, including insights on Trump during my radio show years ago. My new guides have offered to share their perspective on finding inner strength, echoing the themes in Dr. Kristin Neff's "Fierce Friend" meditation.
Channelled Message From Maureen & Guides: A Higher Perspective on World Contrast
We asked Maureen to share Dr. Kristin Neff's teachings on our website because her calm, loving, feminine energy is precisely what the world needs. This feminine energy is crucial as the angry patriarchy—though it may not appear so—is currently imploding and aggressively resisting. From the surface, the world seems to be in profound distress, even on the brink of ending. Both religious and non-religious individuals are grappling with heightened fears, wondering if we can sustain this level of contrast before things irrevocably change.
However, we offer a different perspective: you don't want to return to how things were before this extreme contrast. The wars in Ukraine and Israel, coupled with political shifts like Trump's re-emergence and his aggressive rhetoric towards other nations, make it feel as if everything is breaking apart.
It is. And it's precisely as it's meant to be.
The Rubber Band Analogy: Tension Before Release
Think of a rubber band. To launch it a significant distance, you must pull it back to the point where it feels as if it will snap. That's where humanity is right now. We are at the peak tension, where it feels like we can't pull back much farther without implosion. This is why the world feels so tense. It's by design. Soon—whether in months or a few years, determined by humanity's collective response to this extreme contrast—this tension will release. The rubber band will shoot forward, propelling us into a far more positive space.
This future won't see the patriarchy in control. Instead, the feminine will rise, joining with balanced masculine energies to create profound harmony. Fear and contrast will diminish. Just as we saw unexpected shifts in global consciousness from the challenges of COVID, this release will propel the collective forward so significantly that returning to the past won't even be a consideration. You'll feel as though you're embarking on a new world of potential.
Staying Centered Amidst the Tension
Therefore, keep yourselves centered as you navigate this most intense stage of tension. It's not meant to be comfortable. This period is designed to test your limits, to make you question everything, and to clarify your morals, values, and how you truly wish to play this earth game.
Despite the darkness and fear you feel, remember: you ARE the Light if you allow yourselves to be. This means finding your "Fierce Friend," as Dr. Kristin Neff calls it, and knowing you possess the inner strength to meet this contrast with Light.
The alternative is to succumb to fear and anger, becoming ineffective as part of the collective rising to transform this contrast into a great leap forward—a new era of Light, progress, and prosperity for Earth. To reach that future, we must first experience this intense backward pull of the rubber band.
Stay centered. Stay grounded.
It's crucial not to operate from a place of fear, which engages your lowest consciousness, the reptilian brain. Instead, engage your Essence-led perspective to interpret world events. Seek out meditations and resources that help you ground and center yourself. YouTube offers many free options to help navigate fear, anger, or to cultivate courage if you're part of "The Resistance" against this darkness. Join supportive groups.
The internet, while a conduit for darkness, also holds immense Light. Seek out and share positive examples and tools that help others stay centered in the Light, rather than succumbing to overwhelm. If you share anything negative on social media, balance it with positive examples of Light and forward-thinking. Avoid becoming a "Debbie Downer." Find your inner Light, embrace your "Fierce Friend," and help illuminate the path for the rubber band to land in a brighter future.
We'll discuss more subjects like these in the future.
For now,
Maureen & Guides
