HURRICANE OF EMOTIONS: Seven Steps to Sensing a Storm
[FOCUS AND PERSPECTIVE] [HOLISTIC
L IVING] [CONNECTOR]
A hurricane is an unusual kind of calamity.
Before it comes, it sends strong messages, unlike earthquakes or brush fires.
People have time to prepare for it, but also time therefore to feel.
To get perspective into hurricanes and
emotions, this month’s focus is on three bands of consciousness: the physical at the level of
the hurricane, the emotions that
people feel; and the actions taken by the traveler [who is now a hurricane hunter] and
the people preparing for a hurricane.
The traveler flew into the
hurricane in his doughty aircraft. There were two goals: to discover the source
of his fear; and to discover what went on in that mysterious eye of the
hurricane.
With the traveler, let us allow
ourselves to be prepared for this journey. This time, we will do an active
centering.
Ensure that you are alone and undisturbed
for the next half an hour. Stretch yourself as much as you easily can, as if
you are waking from a long sleep or a long period of sitting [which you may
well be!].
Then imagine a pink light filling
the space in which you sit, and swirling into and around you, gently and surely
preparing a space for you where you can be safe. See how some of the swirls
turn blue and any other color you like. Allow the colors to pass into you from
the crown of your head, through your body, and out through the soles of your
feet into the earth.
If you like, put on music of your
liking.
Then, read on.
High above, and
sometimes below, around or to the side; ever beyond our sky, the warm sun
shines and watches over its planet Earth.
High above, or deep
inside, all around us and ever beyond our imagination, angels, devas, arda fravashs, malak, divine beings shed their light as they watch over
each earthling.
STEP ONE
Millions of tiny
droplets of water rose towards the sun; and as they danced in the heat of the
sun, they formed ring-shaped lines of low pressure. This was the nascent eye of
an impending hurricane.
From the ocean of
unmet dreams and unsung songs, each emanation of rage, hate, malice, and
destruction are drawn to each other, creating depression and hopelessness. They
began to rise towards the region of hope. This was the nascent nucleus of an
impending emotional storm.
The traveler sent
information to all about the beginning of this storm. The messages were heeded
by angels and mortals, in television and dreams. Preparations began: food for
the fallout, and prayers for prevention. Lightwork awoke to the need.
STEP TWO
Air was pulled
towards this low pressure, and strong winds resulted. Following the laws of
nature, they began to rotate counter-clockwise.
Having done its work, the eye was calm, allowing the winds to do its
work, propelling it towards land.
Feelings of
hopelessness, sadness, anger, frustration, despair were drawn to the rising
currents of those stronger emotions. They merged with the feelings of hundreds
of others like themselves. As other emotions rushed towards the rising current,
winds of change began to blow. They organized around the central power that was
developing and strengthening with each passing moment. The time was ripe for
this force to move against those the central cell eyed as its foes.
This message too, was
passed on by the traveler-through-the-storm.
The growing storm was watched; and the watchers stayed at the
ready. At the shops, supplies were
bought up in bulk. There was an air of panic held under check and a few nervous
laughs heard. Lightworkers began to call on guides and angels.
STEP THREE
The winds began to
blow faster, especially near the center. Reaching the surface of the ocean as
they rotated, they picked up more and more water. The storm was feeding itself into a
hurricane. Distinctive spirals of stormy weather began to form.
Like an invading
army gathering fresh recruits, the hurricane of emotions picked up the
free-floating rage of all it encountered. This was a region where
nationalities, loyalties, familial ties: all were forgotten in the splendor of
that integrating storm of hate.
The opposition was
getting ready. As the traveler sent information, it was studied, analyzed, and
passed on to those who could help everyone affected, prepare to face it. A
storm preparing up there mirrored a storm of preparation down here....and up
there...and in here.
STEP FOUR
The air that fell
back towards the center, warmed it, and formed an eye that was clear, calm and
cloud-free. The eye was surrounded by the fiercest winds, through which it
would do its work. The first spirals began to cause seas to swell and fierce
winds on-shore islands.
As the developing
cell saw its strength increasing, and passing all tests of organization, it
began to become calm, focusing on directing the actions of the soldiers. Its
emotions were in check as those of the people around it were raging.
The traveler began to
make more and more frequent flights. When on land, there was an awareness of
the preparations people needed to make. The late-to-panic needed to begin their
preparations. More and more homes were shuttered. Stores began to run out of
supplies. Angry conversations took place on cell phones. Cars lined up outside
gas station and there were long waits. Lightworkers called upon the storm to
calm down or shed its fury in a way that would harm least number of people.
STEP FIVE
As the winds went
through the eye, they passed by many thunderstorms. These caused them to fall
ever faster towards the oceanic body of water.
The hurricane was
storming on the very ocean that had formed it.
The people who had
given up their emotions began now to fear the army they saw before them. Rage
given up was replaced by fear of what that rage had become.
The emotional storm
was ready to ravage the very people whence it had arisen.
As the traveler went
through once again, the inner storms buffeted the aircraft. Fatigue had set in.
Yet, the tireless instruments continued their messages.
There was a run on
the banks and ATM machines ran out of cash. Gas stations began to close down as
they ran out of gas. Schools declared a holiday. Evacuations clogged the roads.
Relatives and friends rarely heard from, called from all over to check if their
loved ones were safe.
The uncertainty of
where the eye would hit was unbearable.
STEP SIX
And then- a
setback. From out
of an unforeseen direction, a strong band of cold current began to flow. This
was a setback for the onrushing hurricane. Time to slow down
a bit, and change its path.
A miracle!
Kindness, protectiveness, care slipped through the gaps between fears and
rage. Neighbor began to help helpless
neighbor prepare for the storm; supplies were bought, advice traded, evacuation
plans prepared. Families drew close together; and those not directly involved
began to keep in touch with those about to be affected by the storm.
Prayers continued
to circulate up and in and around.
The hurricane of
emotions was appeased, slowed, gentled.
The traveler’s
flights into the hurricane stopped and the hurricane made landfall as a
tropical storm. Rains and wind lashed
the land; many roofs blew off, trees and road signs fell, there was flooding in
places. But the people- prepared for a hurricane- blew a sigh of relief at the
weaker storm. In-between the spiraling gusts of wind and rain, there were
visits to neighbors and friends, walks on safer streets as all other activity
ceased due to the storm, and staying at home was not so bearable. Some felt
anti-climax, others thankful for answered prayers; lightworkers could sense the
presence of angels.
STEP SEVEN
And yet another
hurricane brewed in the ocean far away.
What is a
hurricane? Wind and water whirling from ocean to land; a force that little can
withstand; which destroys yet cannot kill. For there are
forces that can stop or weaken a hurricane. They are cold air and dry
land; fearlessness and preparation.
At the edge of the
hurricane, the will of the people meets the willfulness of the wind.
The emotions of
depression at the damage done, wish to escape,
fear of the other hurricane, anger at neighbors who did not help, or
relatives who did not call, all began to intensify and coalesce.....
And the traveler knew
that another hurricane awaited a flight into its interior. And people decided
to keep their shutters up and supplies refreshed, even as schools and business
tried to limp back to normal.
And below it all,
even in the deepest reaches of the ocean, and the densest parts of forests,
where sunlight does not reach; light shines as hope.
In the deepest,
darkest reaches of human life, hope summons the angels.
