Connection in Crises

At the core of relationships are human emotions, and emotions are one of the main issues of the second chakra. On a practical level, emotions are some of the most powerful motivators out there. Energetically, emotions are like an invisible superpower. You will be met with the emotional vibrational frequency you transmit. Personally and professionally your mood influences your life, your work, your organization, and travels out into the greater world. Energetically, this often shows up in how relationships are deepened or broken.

Connection is one of the energetic goals of the second chakra. Therefore, it is important for you to spend some time being present with your emotions – to connect with yourself. I know! I know! It’s a hard time in history to actually want to connect with your emotions. There’s such disruptive and confusing energy everywhere you turn – many days it makes my gut clench. Yet, the alternative is an inner culture in crises. When this happens, people often lash out with actions and words without taking into account how it will affect others emotionally. If you are on social media at all, you know what I mean!

In this way we connect the emotions of the second chakra with the energetic goal of our fifth (throat) chakra – authentic communication. In her book Fierce Conversations, Susan Scott writes, “The conversation is the relationship.” And frankly, in many arenas, the conversation has gone to hell. The by-product is that true connection in relationships are in crises. This energy ripples out, becoming stronger as it tunes into the discordant vibrational frequency being played out over and over.Obviously, none of us have the ability to control what others do or say. But, we can start to stem the crises by becoming aware of the connection of our emotions with how we are communicating. Ultimately, all relationships are about one’s relationship with oneself. And that is where we need to start  – relating to our inner emotional landscape.

To help you with this process:
Make a list of unresolved challenging feelings and the situations and/or people associated with them. These may be from today, yesterday or from your childhood. Notice if there are any themes, for example, anger, depression, despair, or feelings of inferiority. What is the story associated with the feelings?

Journal about your story. Allow yourself the freedom to write whatever comes to you. Write faster than you can think. Let your hand write the words, instead of your conscious mind. Pay no attention to grammar, punctuation, or spelling, and don’t worry about whether it makes sense or not. Don’t edit, don’t judge, just write! This is an opportunity for your feelings to tell their story.

Once done, review what you have written. What emotions are most influential? What are the effects of those emotions in how and what your are communicating? How are they currently impacting your  connection with people in your life, work and the world at large?

Through this storytelling you are creating mindfulness and greater awareness. With practice, this will help you communicate and act from your Higher Self, rather than from the unresolved emotions of the small self. Instead of being a part of the ever expanding ripple of connections in crises, you can become a part of a ripple of harmony, and resonance with yourself and others. As Gandhi stated, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Sending you peace and harmony.
