A Case of the Sads

@prock248 oh yeah, for sure.  I feel the density like the tides. I admit I am a little lazy when it comes to actively putting up my shields and protective bubbles as a daily spiritual hygiene practice so I could definitely be more proactive but it often comes out of nowhere unexpectedly so I'm unprepared.  And granted, heaviness due to solar flares vs. more localized influences can be harder to handle.  But boy oh boy is it heavy at times!  I have learned over the years to recognize it when it happens, however, much like many spiritual and philosophical teachers (Tolle & Watts in particular) have spoken about the detachment of becoming the observer rather than the experiencer.  Identifying the feelings non-judgmentally can help to begin to defuse them and lessen their impact.  I also find two other actions help me.  1. setting my attention on something else that gets me moving...takes me out of myself and is intentionally an act of either self-care or a loving act of kindness outwards whether it be to my family, animal companions, friends or complete strangers...  Nature abhors a vacuum...tap into that unlimited and infinite source of unconditional love by showing and expressing love outward....the process of doing can't help but automatically draw more love into you from the universe to replace what you have given. Being in that flow can shift the heaviness and lighten things.  2. when I feel the density get so heavy that the weight becomes unbearable, especially felt in the heart, throat and what I call the beak area of my head and face, essentially the place in our head engaged in the crying process...I realize I need a good cry.  And I mean I just let loose and weep uncontrollably for a few minutes to release the tension with the express intention of letting the heaviness go like squeezing out a sponge.  But I will then stop myself and check in with myself to see if I feel lighter, usually I do.  and then I go on with my day.  (I also heard recently, I forget who talked about it, but according to them, our tears actually contain the chemical components to relieve the issue we were crying about, like our tears contain the antidote for what is "ailing" us and we should drink them for this purpose.  I haven't remembered to do this often enough yet to see if this is true for me but I intend to.  Oh, and I just thought of something else...when I was regularly experiencing a lot more sadness and darkness years ago and I first came across Hawkins' Scale of Consciousness and I saw that Grief/Sadness vibrated LOWER than Anger and that if I got angry I was actually raising my vibration...I found this concept so novel that instead of being sad I should get mad....made me laugh...I found it funny .....and realizing this sling-shotted up into joy because I was having a chuckle.  just a little thing that helps me reset.  Wishing you much love and Joy and a life full of marvelous epiphanies!  (BTW - I have always LOVED the name Tabitha since watching Bewitched reruns as a kid). :).
