Dealing with discouragement Claudia

[Guest guest]

Dear Claudia,

Thanks for sharing this with us all, it helps alot, many people. We all have

doubts and worries.

I am not the best at meditation either, I used to put gentle music on and

focus on listening to the sound, as I would listen my mind would clear.

 

I too have much mind chatter, just the other day I was getting myself in to a

right state!!!

 

Sometimes people on the list read the odd sentance but don't realise how low

or how angry or how crazy you really were at the time.... So, you are not the

only one for sure.

 

For the first 6 months I felt hardly anything, everyday I would watch the

people coming and going , all with splendid syptoms etc. At first I wanted it

for myself, but I quickly learnt to expect nothing, desire nothing, hope for

nothing.

The less I think about it the more things begin to move.

A year into it and I don't have that many symptoms, I have vivid dreams, but

I've always had them. Intuitions, which I've always had aswell. The odd energy

day when a part of me will suddenly vibrate for an hour or so, then nothing

again. The big vibes took at least 6 months-8 months before I felt anything.

Infact, I have more to worry about as shakti is very strict with me, I can't

slack off as much as I used to.

So, keep on forgiving yourself, do it for yourself, don't expect anything

exept hard personal work!!!

For the gift is so sacred a little hard work is to be expected!!!

Facing our doubts, our ego, our expectations, our fears.

 

Thankyou for sharing your personal feelings, you are not alone,

love Elektra x x x

Thanks Claudia and Elektra (as well as others that have commented). Your

words are appreciated as I've have the same issues. I was never very good

at being patient. lol 'lesson number one I suppose. :-)

Thank you, Claudia, for voicing what feels like a very

natural part of the journey. I feel those things, too.

 

 

In Christian terminology we would say, " We walk by

faith, and not by sight. " We can't tell where we are

by what we see (or don't see) because the terrain is

unknown to us...a new place...the cocoon! So we trust.

We have faith that everything is as it should be, that

Shakti knows what she is doing, that our experience

may be very different from those we are hearing about

so we can't compare ourselves to them.

 

In the meantime we extend love so that Shakti can work

her magic; we forgive so that the blocks will be

removed; we live the safeties so that the flow will be

joyful. Much work to do!

 

The things we long for, that we see manifesting in

others, are there for us, too. In our perfect time. I

believe this, so I walk by faith. A choice. We should

kick the word discouragement out of our vocabulary! =]

We are K people...full of promise and wonder because

of the Gift that is given to us. No instant

gratification on the Shakti Express! Those who are

manifesting things now will have their times of quiet

for the body to catch up, too...the plateaus that

Chrism spoke about. Then we'll be there for them as we

have a turn, showing the Express is traveling! We're

all on board. And She is on Her Way. My take...I hope

I'm not too far off the track! HUGZ! Love, dhyana

 

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the

evidence of things not seen. A beautiful word.

 

Elektra, I loved what you wrote...especially below.

Thank you.
