Women Lifestyle, Fashion, Health, Beauty and Personality

Everyone that I interact with these days seems to express concern regarding the challenges facing us. For some it is worries about the economy. Can we continue to afford our house? How high will gas prices go up? Will we be able to afford a vacation next year? What about those struggling to put food on their table? Will I continue to have a job? Will I continue to make ends meet? On top of the economic struggles, people are concerned about the world’s welfare. War and our environment weigh heavy on many people’s minds. Then add to this stress any personal concerns we may be having regarding the physical or emotional health of ourselves and our loved ones and we can begin to sense the weight that many people are carrying.

I’ve been there myself having moments when I am concerned if my family will continue to be able to live in the same manner due to the greater challenges facing our society. My fear, however, lead me back to my truth. How? I was able to realize the message underneath the fear by knowing how to listen to my emotions.

The message I received was exciting news and news that I believe you will all want to hear. Times are changing, that is for sure, but these challenges are present to actually support us! We are still at the beginning curve of a shift in consciousness. Thankfully, many people like you have learned that we need to take better care of ourselves. We have listened and made changes such as taking better care of our health and changing our thoughts to ones that serve us rather than hinder us. We are learning to become more empowered to change our lives and that is exactly what we need.
If you have felt some of the stress in the last few months, you are not alone. You are actually sensitive to a greater shift in consciousness that needs to take place. One of the most significant is in reclaiming our emotional well-being.

Our world is shifting to bring in more feminine energy. What exactly do I mean by this? Regardless of gender, we all have both feminine and masculine energy. To put it succinctly, female energy is more creative and intuitive, masculine energy more rational and driven. Neither energy is “better” than the other. In fact, we need both in order to live in balance. However, there has been an overemphasis on the masculine energy and our world needs to rebalance.

Now you need to ask yourself: do you want to be ahead of the curve or behind the curve? For those of you who want to be ahead of the curve, I may be asking you to take a leap of faith in trusting me that our emotions are actually a good thing and something we need to work with rather than dismiss. A lot of feelings, especially fear, are coming up right now for a lot of people in order to teach us all that we need to learn to go within ourselves.

I know a lot of you are saying “what the heck is going within ourselves Michelle?” Well, I am glad you asked. As I mention in my book, Emotional Abundance: Become Empowered, we all have external fears. External fears are about conditions that we cannot exactly control (although we may try) and they can leave us feeling anxious and worried. All the fears mentioned in the first paragraph of this newsletter are external fears.
The gift of these external fears is to teach us that, indeed, we cannot control them. We have little control to whether they will impact us directly or not. The lesson for us to take from these fears is a big one. These conditions actually help us to learn that we need to reconnect with our all-knowing truth, which is our true essence.

Our true essence knows that our needs will always be met. Our true essence is intuitive, wise, and creative. Our true essence can come up with solutions that the rational mind cannot. In order to connect with our true essence we all need to learn more feminine skills of tuning in to ourselves and listening.
The good news is that we have the perfect equipment that allows us to tune in – our emotions. Our emotions are there to support us to let us know what experiences and people support us to be in balance and those that don’t. The more we are in balance, the more we are able to connect with our inner wisdom that can guide us through any challenge.

Times are a changing that is true. But my hope is that you can be one of the fortunate ones that adapts to change rather than fights it. The feminine energy is demanding that we relook at how we approach life, especially our emotional well-being. Too many people are struggling with too much stress and worry due to a misunderstanding regarding our feelings and fears. Our current understanding regarding our emotions comes from a masculine, rational viewpoint that cannot comprehend the intuitive nature of the feminine spirit of our emotions. Whether we are men or women, the time has come for all of us to gain this true understanding regarding our emotional well-being, which will lead us to confidently and compassionately lead our lives.
