When things get tough…

Since July 7, we’ve been in a sequence of 10 consecutive portal days. I’ll gladly leave it to these two kind souls to explain exactly what that means:

Today and over the past few days, I’ve encountered so many people who aren’t doing well and who don’t understand why everything has suddenly become so difficult—or rather, even more difficult than usual. Especially on an emotional level, there’s a charged atmosphere, and it feels as though triggers are lying in wait wherever you go.
I’m writing this because I want to share these experiences. To tell everyone who’s feeling the same way: You’re not alone! It’s okay if things aren’t okay. You’re not overreacting. Let everything flow and surrender to it. Focus your thoughts on whatever fills your heart with joy. And above all: Take the bird’s-eye view. Pause, and imagine slipping out of your situation and looking down on yourself and everything from above, as if you were a bird, or a cloud, or whatever brings you joy.
See the chaos the world is in while you let the wind carry you and simply breathe deeply. You are not your emotions. You are free, at every moment.

Days like these are challenging. And often we feel like everything has conspired against us. I could tell you a thing or two about that! I spent most of today in bed, feeling absolutely terrible. And during that time, I kept taking that journey in my mind to view everything from above. What matters most is understanding why we find ourselves in such situations. We learn so much about ourselves. That is what these portal days are for. They help us recognize where we still need to let go. They help us practice being more mindful and dealing wisely with the things we encounter.

I wish everyone reading this, from the bottom of my heart, strength, wisdom, and peace, and the knowledge that everything happens for our highest good.❤️🙏🏻
