the art of not losing it this silly season
issue 78 ♡ you are in charge of your own script & the amount of nuance or nasty or nurturing you wish to speak in a conversation
how can i stay calm & collected during the silly (socialising) season? love intro-version.
dear intro version
throughout this year i have been practicing sitting on my perch during social situations where i am prone to fall into unconscious behaviour, with a little help from my shaman and spirit friends. this week i channel notes from my higher self, to share this modus operandi of sitting in observation and engagement without the emotional onslaught that can come with the increased socialising and engagement with family, friendships and co-workers during the silly season.

part I.
protect yourself either sitting high on your perch, like a bird with its bird eye-view, looking not so much down on everyone but being above it all— in a way that is humble and stems from humility and the heart, rather than egoic led action. place yourself high enough so that you can observe but not absorb the energetic displays of drama and dialogue and discourse and dinner conversation.
make sure you can hear but you have filters on, much like a water purifier, much like a cleansing agent that removes residual build-up of negative forces and fickle behaviour— so that when it is received with your physical ears, it is purified and clean and clear for your consumption.
where possible, practice the act of balancing on your perch before any family or friends or workplace occasion before you enter the scene. like an actor doing warm-up exercises before they roll action— you are in charge of your own script and the amount of nuance or nasty or nurturing you wish to speak with and how you approach any christ-mas conversation or convoluted coupling you find yourself engaged upon.
please remember to breathe evenly and with full breaths in and out, so that you are in control of your own tempo. while you cannot control the conversation, what you can do is limit your interactions with those who don’t serve you and maximise your time with those who do.
don’t be afraid to excuse yourself from a triangulating or traumatic scene, if the act does not serve you. exit the scene, leave the stage and take time to even your breath and regain your perch position and repeat to yourself a protective mantra.
part II.
i am what i am. i am a creature of lightness and true greatness, yet i am also the sum to the wholeness of this universe and wonderful earth i call home.
i call upon my angels and spirit guides to protect and lead me to where i must be and long to be— to facilitate encounters that serve my soulful state of being and not that lowers my energetic field to petty and person-al and pleasing behaviour to others.
may i be respected and honoured for being exactly as i am in this exact moment of time.
thank you.
happy holidays!
