It’s been a minute since I last wrote a post (I feel like I’ve been saying that a lot lately, hehe), but I guess it’s a sign of the times we’re in, or at least that I’m in. Still so much is happening of internal, energetic shifts that I can barely keep up. Although the equinox and eclipse season are well behind us, the energies are still high. It may have something to do with us experiencing the last days of Pluto in Capricorn, Scorpio season and the strings of super full moons we are having, I don’t know, but I am certainly feeling like a lot of big transformation is still in the works…
That is true on a global, collective level (with the groundbreaking elections results in the US among the signs) but also on a personal level, at least for me. I’m dealing with another respiratory infection, the 3rd since the beginning of September, and as I don’t think anything happens in a vacuum, I believe the two are related (I mean internal shifts and the cold symptoms). Although the symptoms have been mostly mild, the throat infection was not, and I believe helped clear out some major fear around speaking my truth and standing up for myself (I wrote more about that in my previous blog post). Yet just as I had mostly recovered from that, I got new symptoms…
I haven’t experienced a string of colds and respiratory infection symptoms like this since I did my yoga teacher training back in 2011-2012, when I think I had about 5-6 colds during the 6 month long training. At the time I was detoxing a lot, both from the fact that I quit drinking alcohol and became a vegetarian at the time, but also from all the yoga that we did, a lot of it with the intention of clearing out and upleveling. With it happening now again for the 3rd time within a short period of time, I’m thinking that this must be what some people refer to as ascension flu symptoms. This time it’s more of a head cold though, not as much in the throat, so I’m thinking there is some clearing and opening up of the higher chakras that is happening at the moment. I guess I’ll just have to go with the flow and trust that it will all settle down in time, and that upgrades are on the way.
Besides all this I’m feeling mostly pretty good. I had a nice and relaxing vacation on the island of Rhodes in Greece a couple of weeks ago, and that helped me heal and restore a lot. Yet as soon as I got back to Norway and work, the cold symptoms came back lol. I don’t think it’s related to work directly so much, as it’s not like the job itself or the place is so bad, but sometimes I find it a little frustrating to have to go to work when I’m in the middle of a major clearing out and energies within are shifting. During these times I often feel the need to slow down and take it easy, but don’t always have the luxury to do so. So that can be a little challenging, plus I also feel sometimes that I’m ready to move on from there, as I’ve worked there for more than 6 years and don’t feel that it’s my mission in life to work there (although it may be related to it, or a stepping stone towards it).
This whole mission thing is still a major focus these days, and I still feel like I’m wavering back and forth when it comes to what it may be. Sometimes the desire comes over me to do more spiritual healing work and work with clients who are on an ascension journey, but other times I feel that I want to do something to help those with mental health and psychiatric issues. Or perhaps I can combine the two somehow? Possibly there is something there, I don’t know. I just don’t think the world, or at least not Norway, is quite ready to introduce that into psychiatry just yet, although mindfulness is of course a buzzword that is gaining more and more popularity these days, and perhaps something to build on for the future.
In fact, I’ve been thinking for a while that it could be nice to incorporate both music and yoga into the services we provide for the clients I work with currently, and although there has been some loose talk around that, nothing concrete has happened until now. I was recently asked to hold a little informal Christmas concert at my job, and we plan to rehearse a number with the clients, too, and we will invite friends or family members of the clients to join us. At the same time, we’re setting up a schedule for some yoga and meditation, also. Apparently, someone else had done the latter recently, and they had loved it. So now I have a chance to start doing this more at my job, and that is rather exciting.
The irony though, is that I just applied for a new job, and have been called in for an interview, so I’m a little unsure of what to do now. Before this opportunity of music and yoga at work came along, I felt so ready to move on, but now I’m wavering again. Of course I don’t even know that I’ll be offered the job yet, so one step at a time here lol. I’ll do the interview and take it from there. If I get the job offer, perhaps I will have a sit down with my boss at my current job, talk to her and see if there seems to still be something for me there. Earlier in the year, when I started thinking about this, there were some things that came up for me as far as things I wanted to achieve before moving on. I haven’t achieved them all yet, and I had more of less come to the conclusion that I wouldn’t, but now I’m thinking that may not be true.
Of course, I still expect to move on from this job at some point, but have been feeling that I had some things to accomplish there first, and that there were aspects of myself that I might have the opportunity to develop there, such as taking on a supervisory role, and now the yoga and music, but also improving the service and follow-up we provide for our clients in their every day life. Since it’s been a while since I have taught yoga and meditation, and performed in front of an audience (as a singer), this might be a nice, soft way to begin to introduce myself to that again. And perhaps there may still be more I can contribute to the clients there, before I move on. I will follow my inner guidance as always, and I’m sure it will all fall into place as it is meant to.
I’ll leave it at that for today. I hope you are navigating the energies and the times we’re in with fortitude and hope for the future. We’re all moving up and expanding to higher levels of consciousness, both individually and collectively, and that is a beautiful thing, although it comes with its set of challenges. And to that, I send so much love & light!
