Bring4th

Lately i have been struggling with a few things.
One of those things being the focus upon my thoughts and the inability to "clear my head" so to speak.
Any ideas on how i can hone my thoughts to provide a clearer head and ability to focus more?

I have also noticed increasing difficulty showing and feeling love for my insect-type other selves. Im not sure why this bias is showing itself strongly now more than ever but it is truly bothering me.

I was also wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could more easily express frustration with other selves without hurting or upsetting them?

On another side note i am also noticing that lately i am easily being irritated and frustrated with those i love and am having a harder time showing affection or love for those who i unconditionally care about. How can i help prevent this?

Well the obvious answer to the first question is to meditate, but if you are having trouble meditating because of the thoughts running through your mind try to focus on your breathing. inhale deeply through the nose until your lungs are full, hold it for a few seconds and then exhale through your mouth until your lungs are completely empty.

I've been having trouble with insects myself, in particular the house centipedes that like to hang out in our bathroom . . .

for the last question I find the best thing to do is to remember that everyone acts out of love. Sometimes it's a little bit distorted but it's still there. Identify that driving source of love and find it within yourself to make the choice to accept it as it stands or if that would go against your nature politely refuse it but do not linger on it.

Try not to act on the thoughts, let them come up acknowledge them and let them slide, hell don't even think about them or think why they are coming up. It's just a process of clearing out all of your deep seated issues. Sometimes outbursts can't be helped but chances are the person you burst at is in need of that burst. 2 weeks ago my friend was getting angry at me about my lack of pre-planning, I lashed out at him stating that he was a scared child who has only ever lived in fear, 22 years old and you still live in fear is exactly what I said, he went silent and couldn't even look me in the eye. Keep in mind he has no idea about any of this but what I saw on his face was more realization then anger even if it was still clouded in misunderstanding. There is more to that story but I don't want to bore you.

Not going to lie it may get bad but you have to fall before you rise. Be glad in knowing that it is part of the process of ascension and it will be over in time. Once it's over you feel light and free and suddenly your fear is gone. It's just the stones being lifted of your shoulders.

I expect many people will be going through this soon as the dog days have begun and Sirius is rising.

Thank you. I will attempt to meditate and revisit upon my past. Im am open to further inpit.

If we have more energy being forced through us our little blockages become more apparent. Molehills can become mountains.

LoL my analogy is a water hose. Turn up the flow and it starts to whip around like it is demon possessed. Our valve system (chakras) need to be kept up to par with the amount of energy that flows through our being. If you do work to empower or charge yourself up there will be issues that rise up with that extra pressure.

Clearing and balancing is a good practice to take up. If this is in fact what you are experiencing.

Thank you pickle. Your advice is always appreciated.

I would have thought the degree of acceptance required to unconditionally care about people would preclude being easily irritated or frustrated by them.

Exactly why it needs to be released from ones system. Once it's released and accepted it ceases to cause a reaction from oneself, because you know your truth. The surer you are of yourself the surer you are of others.

But if you already think you unconditionally care then how is there room for acceptance?

Perhaps I don't then. Hence why I'am here and what I'am working towards.

I am not mentally perfect. I still get frustrated and irritated. Its all part of being emotionally connected to the creation. It doesn't mean that theres no way to help it though.

Perfectionism aside, reactions of frustration and irritation are consequences of conditions placed on others. How could they not be?

Einstein said, paraphrasing, 'A problem cannot be solved in the same state of mind it was created in'.
Very true, for when I'm going through similar difficulties.
While I need to hone my meditation skills, I find that using binaural beats work magic.
There are specific frequencies of the brain that release seratonin, calm headaches and produce a 'normalized' state. This is Alpha, 10hz.
You have to experiment for yourself, but I have my own little audio pack for just about every mental setback I may be experiencing.
It's definitely worth some research! Everyone is different in what they need, however.

This frequency will help you out of your foggy/clouded/agitated state:
(Speakers or headphones are OK)



Good luck, I hope you find balance!

All I can say on this matter that the mere fact that you are frustrated by what you are frustrated with shows how you are on a perfectly great road. So just let things play out, with frustration, with bumps on the road, with moments, days, heck: even weeks of seemingly no focus. We are incarnated here, it is not expected to be perfect. Imagine that while you are in this state, as a huge spring, you are preparing yourself to push for an even higher state of being - this amount of seeming blockage is a needed catalyst to achieve that.

Or conditions placed on yourself. So basically conditions.

When you truly get beyond anger or fear, joy is the result. And this joy takes good care of our sanity, and of our outbursts.

Knowing that you are lovable, and loving yourself, is also an important part of this. That's loving all of you, including imperfections and outbursts. As Sagittarius said, "Try not to act on the thoughts, let them come up acknowledge them and let them slide." Breathe through them, and watch them fade away. Expect this focus on your breath to work, what you think is true, is true.

But I disagree with Sagittaris also, because I think you should think about this, and why this are coming up now. This is our school.

Everything and everyone are teachers. Mistakes are our teachers. Instead of asking "How can I . . . ?" ask instead "What is the positive side of this concern (?) and what do I need to learn from it?"

I don't claim perfection, by far I don't. But laughing at myself, seems to calm me down. Joy again.

Free sound cleansing and clearing. Head phones are best. I like the Pituitary Dimensional Attunement, but perhaps you may decide to try the Heart Chakra Sound Meditation (?)

Every will work out well in the end. If things aren't feeling good, then it's not the end yet.

Thank you so much my dear friends for your kind and loving advice. I take this time now to send you love and light of infinite proportions.
May the creation shine on you each and every day.
At this time I would like to ask why my bias against insects is so strong?
I noticed this in abundance today and my concern is rising.

The source of your bias against insects can only be found within yourself, so the next time you encounter an insect instead of crushing it, think about why you hate it so much. Get a good look at it and see what there is to be afraid of. If it is in your house simply use a cup and a sheet of paper and escort it outdoors. I promise to do the same with the next centipede I see

It could simply be blue ray issues. Maybe you've been holding things in for too long that need to be let out.

"True healing is simply the radiance of the self causing an environment in which a catalyst may occur which initiates the recognition of self, by self, of the self-healing properties of the self."

So too much holding back may be hindering radiance of self. I've used spontaneous honest communication that Ra speaks about during an uncomfortable situation, and it seemed to invoke green ray healing. The best way to describe it is as if a hole opens up in your chest..that's what it feels like for me..along with an energy.

By acting on thoughts I meant acting on negative thoughts, by acting on thoughts I guess I mean feeling the negativity of it, feeling the negative emotion from it. Because it is the sense of negativity, not the thoughts from which that springs which is the true "enemy" ( I do not mean that in a negatively felt energetic way so try not to feel the negative side of it )

It's all about the feel not the thoughts which lead you to the feels, because it is the feels that lead you to the thoughts. We are all on our own timeline and everyone will realize the truth when they do. This new limb, what I like to think of as the 6th limb we are gaining back is the transition into the 4th dimension.

There are growing pains, there is no need to feel negatively about them and let them suck your energy. We will all be all right, because guess what I'am all right.

So I agree with you fully. Except I don't believe our ego has any control over it at all.

I am going to present my favorite topic again, the CMEs.
I think they are playing a great role in these feelings of having a hard time lately, and letting surface all our shadow aspects to be dealt with.
Btw yesterday was another one erupting, I felt very stressed and overagitated all day long. It didn't really help that I needed to go downtown to show a couple friends who are visiting the city for the first time around...
large crowds of people are still horrible to me. I easily get aggressive and / or numb, as a matter of self-protection.
I miss my cozy familiar little home planet...

Hmm . . . I had a great day yesterday but everyone around me was miserable

that's always a great feeling

It's nice because it gives me a chance to comfort people with kind words, one of my favourite activities

Aww I wanna hug you guys right now
"Meerie sending out a cyber hug"

Hi Sagittarius, I think we agree, but we just have different ways to put it.

When you say that you "don't believe our ego has any control over it at all," I'm not sure I understand. "Ego" has a bad connotation, and when it becomes an arrogant superiority it deserves this negative feel. But low self esteem is a self destructive feel.

Loving everyone, includes loving yourself. All of yourself. That doesn't have anything to do with ego, that has to do with feel good. You cannot give what you do not have, and realizing our connection with each other, includes within yourself.

We have been taught, and I believe, that when confronted with an enemy, responding with anger and hate only strengthens that enemy. While loving and understanding and forgiving, will dissipate their power.

And I agree when you say "There are growing pains, there is no need to feel negatively about them and let them suck your energy." Yes, all the more reason to understand, and forgive, and love yourself.

You say it is "the feels that lead you to the thoughts." Yes, so, all the more reason to replace self criticism with self love. Love and Joy are "feels."

And also my friend, this is a chicken and egg thing. I've no idea, but I think that feels can lead to thoughts, and thoughts can lead to feels.

What really matters here is how Observer thinks and feels. So I feel/think that he should accept only what he feels is beneficial, and to ignore the rest. And that, Observer, involves trusting yourself.

I am working on myself now more than ever.
Thank you all once again for helping me through such a delicate time.

Anytime, happy to help. Time really does heal all... As does a community!
Good luck on your continuing journey, brother.

Agreed.

Gosh, I can feel the Love in this thread. Such a blessing to have a platform upon which we can share ourselves with each other.

Observer, it's a gift to be an observer to the cultivation of your greater awareness, healing/balancing & evolution. I can relate to experiencing accelerated challenges in the here & now (I personally appreciate challenges over struggles as struggles denotes more of a continuity whereas challenges denotes something that is more readily/quickly overcome).

All I can personally offer is my gratitude & thanks unto your openness & willingness to change.

Peace
