Deep cleansing & energies now

The energies are pretty wacky right now. I wake up in the middle of the night many times after deep processing and heavy emotion dreams. My head has been aching and there’s been a ton of downloads of energy. My friends are mirroring the same thing. Most are going through the remains of big issues they have held onto for a great while. Now is the time. It is as if we all decided we would do this work to finally rid ourselves.

I am still learning duck energy, and it is still hard to remain neutral with my daughter who is unknowingly pushing all my sister childhood issues right now. But, I always notice, stuff comes up when you are ready to heal and clear. When the issues are on the surface they are ready to go.

On the good note, I am so enjoying my students right now, and I am preparing to teach a college art course of more students. I am also finding that when I have clarity things flow to me. It’s the getting to that clarity that can be a little daunting.

Must go, Emma Lou is eating something she shouldn’t, again.

Duck energy part two

Ah, finally I am learning what Duck Energy is. For the empath, duck energy is essential–the key to sanity. Duck energy represents detaching from others’ stuff; observing without carrying. I feel as if I’ve been in a fish bowl experiment lately  with my newly-teen daughter home from school for two weeks. Girls at this age are reactive at best. I told my husband, it is like she has PMS 24/7, which can’t be the easiest thing to have. My immediate response to anger is anger, so using duck energy has been my tool. Perhaps she is simply bringing up my control issues.
When I watch her do absolutely nothing a few days straight, I want to step in and offer suggestions, help, anything. But I finally learned this act did nothing but aggravate her more. Let it go, I kept hearing. But as a parent, isn’t it our jobs to make sure our girls grow up to be happy, well-adjusted adults? Let it go. Where’s her passion? Her joy? Her excitement? Let it go. Just swim along in the sea and don’t get lost in others’ floods. They are swimming along too, the best they can. You can’t go to school for someone else, can you? Let it go.duck
