Energy in Motion ⚡️

September 29; Newsletter 1.2

Hey friends,

Welcome to another Sunday read. I'm back at my usual cafe, enjoying a warm cup of spiced chai, super excited to write this. Grab a cup of something and let's chat about energy, again. In the last blog, I talked a bit of the left brain understanding of energy - delving into science and logic and extrapolating, with perhaps a bit of questions, lightly connecting it to physics, which essentially means all of existence!

Today let me tickle the right brain with some storytelling — its metaphorical, so just play with me here, I am still very rough on the edges (btw it's just started raining as I type this, which is the best writing (and chai) weather 😛)

When a dolphin fell in love with a monkey

Once upon a time there was dolphin who fell in love with a monkey. Impossible as it may seem, it was love at first sight, for at least one of them. In the beginning, they were kinda figuring things out cause a dolphin and a monkey, truly needed to find a common ground(!). And eventually, they did. They loved each other and they enjoyed the silliness and happy times. So they both accommodated and adjusted in a unique way – the dolphin turned part monkey and the monkey, part dolphin. Their energies fused. And they were connected in this super intuitive way. One would know when the other was upset, or sick, or hungry or sleepy or in a mood to just dish or watch Netflix. It was beautiful. There was symmetry and even against the odds they found a love that was pure, intentional and unconditional. If one was down, being next to the other, would charge them up. Just like a battery. They only gave to each other. It was perfect harmony.

Their love was so pure that when other monkeys or dolphins or pandas even, came to their home, they took a dip in their happy pool. But the dolphin didn't know that the monkey actually had some special skill - a magical nose. She was able to understand when someone was not good for them in the long run. When a few pandas tried coming close and wanting to join the pack, the monkey gave severe warnings with mini attacks - a punch here, a bite there. But eventually, she couldn't do much. She was the youngest member of the pack. She learnt to adjust.

More new members came into their home and while things were good for a while eventually the energy started to change.

The monkey and the dolphin were survivors of the wild. So they truly believed in being their true selves and in living and let live. However, some members of the extended pack were not how they seemed; which the monkey obviously knew. Sometimes, new transient members entered their home, which would cause the monkey to fall sick and even become angry. And soon it started affecting her — she had trouble eating.

Gradually, the energy and the environment started changing more. The happy mornings the monkey and dolphin were used to with music, coffee and some nice incense turned nasty with some rude behavior by other members with no desire to resolve the conflict. Accusations, anger and sadness grew and grew. Both the monkey and the dolphin were no longer the same. One started becoming angry and sad while the other became sick.

Let's stop this story here. It's not the best ending, I know, but let's dissect the situation.

It's common knowledge that the environment we live in affects everything that's happening in our mind. Imagine if you're living in a poisonous environment where, assume the mother is always yelling at the help and the dad and the son and the daughter; there is unhappiness because there is constant comparison to be someone else, there is unhappiness where some people are OK bringing other people down to just feel a little better than scum...and by bringing down meaning openly in public, anonymously trolling strangers online, anything that can help charge their "sick" batteries.

If you're in this environment as a Monkey and a Dolphin, can you survive? 💭

Now, personally in my life, I've had to find my balance with energy. I've been reading a lot, practicing reiki energy and yoga, trying to work on my intuition through Animal Communication and truly working on myself through journaling, shaking, tapping... to bring my health a bit under control. I have seen three ways you can respond to the situation above.

So, you're in the situation - the posionous home that pretends to be a beautiful garden to the world, but it's full of weeds, as no inner cleaning or awareness exists.

There are three ways you could respond to this kind of energy:

1. Mirror it - if they are yelling at you; you yell back.
2. Absorb it - you try to see the light or make them see the light while absorbing the hate.
3. Transform it - you change the energy and the environment by changing yourself and your thoughts

Now, in two of the three ways - you actually cannot control the outcome.

By yelling and mirroring their energy, eventually you will be out of fuel, with an empty tank. By trying hard to make others see the bigger picture, beyond ego, beyond pettiness - that's a hard one. You can't force people to grow? Some want to be in the weeds and apply make-up pretending they are a field of (sick) roses. You gotta let them. Cause eventually they will be exposed or the sickness will overtake their being.

What is only in your control — is you. And the biggest energetic change you can do, is to not feel hate. Is to not feel anger. And only feel love.

Believe me - I know it's tough and in the heat of things, impossible. I've been there. Doing all the above steps, only killing my sense of belonging and my health. Almost to the point of being buried in the weeds.

The one statement that changed everything for me:

To see the divine in everything! ✨

Now a personal anecdote, I actually once wrote to one of the poison oaks in my life that at the end day we are all ONE consciousness. We are one. So why this ego? Why this hate? Why this unending sense of control? I got no response, just a 🙏🏻 emoji. But if I am married to the idea of making her change — then I need to get ready to lose my mind trying to make pigs fly.

BUT, if I work on my thoughts – so instead of anger, hate, victimizing my situation, revenge — all of this — if I truly believe, we are ONE consciousness. We are all connected. And we have our journey. And if things went to shit, it could help all parties grow and evolve; I am "happy thoughts", then I can truly transform that energy to the point that it stops affecting my environment and my mental health and eventually physical health.

I truly believe we are all here for our own growth and evolution. Ignorance and brushing things under the rug and living with no conscious awareness is definitely not the way. It can help you for a short time, maybe a few years, but do you want to live a life of lies or do you want to find out who you are, without that poison conditioning and what you are truly capable of? That takes courage. Courage to own your truth and evolve yourself.

As our friend Rumi says: Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I will change myself. ❤️

Hope you enjoyed my interpretation 😇

Here's what I am reading/watching/listening to this week:

1. I love her music - Chantress Seba on YouTube. Great way to start a Sunday!
2. Morning meditation - Baba Ram Dass
3. Lake Titicaca - Been researching a lot recently. Has anyone been to Bolivia and can offer travel tips 😄

Lots of Love
Suchi and Mocha (always in spirit 🙈)
