The universe sometimes works in strange ways to make a point! If you look around you with awareness in the midst of a seemingly chaotic or ‘dark’ moment in time, you may indeed find clarity and the reason for it.

This very thing happened to me yesterday and when I say ‘dark’ I mean it! Due to some error in a billing system my electricity was cut off with no notification. Talk about powerless!

I won’t go into the details of the panic I felt but suffice it to say that after several phone calls and a wait time of over 25 mins to actually speak to a human being at Com Ed I was told they would restore my service. Great! WAIT! Not so great…it would be restored in 1-3 days!

OK now the panic really DID set in! I went into complete survival mode until I realized it was something called an energy whack. That’s when you get hit with energy trying to stop you cold in your tracks. It stops you from shining and takes you off your path….but only for a moment. 🙂

An energy whack occasionally comes in when you are on the RIGHT path, SHINING brightly AND you are about to take a giant step in growth! The bigger the energy hit, the brighter you shine once it clears! It doesn’t necessarily mean you are doing something wrong. It could mean you are doing everything RIGHT!

Knowing this I decided to make lemonade out of lemons. After bringing everything in the fridge & freezer to a friend’s house I defrosted the freezer. Not that I had much of a choice, but it made me feel better immediately!

Then I noticed the QUIET! I was there with myself and all was silent. I also realized that at least for the night, I had to rely on myself and do the things I had planned in the first place. This meant packing up my laptop and heading over to Starbucks.

Looking around there were people in their own little worlds owning a space. I grounded and owned MY space. No one bothered me as I happily perused Facebook, took care of emails and scheduled appointments. About mid evening, the atmosphere changed.

It became a meeting place for 2 Italian gentlemen speaking in dialect, a couple dating, a father & daughter. An older gentleman who was very professor-like was sitting next to me and his friend walked in asking him “who created God?”

You KNOW I had to jump in on that one! We had a wonderful conversation about God, Faith and creation. I delighted in their viewpoints and they took to heart mine. As I packed up to go, they told me they enjoyed the chat and hoped that I would come in again to see them.

As I walked back home I couldn’t help but smile at the beautiful energy created in that conversation. I had completely forgotten I was coming home to total darkness. I would have never been at Starbucks or experienced that connection if the lights were on. 🙂

When I arrived home the ‘quiet’ of the darkness penetrated my very soul. I lit candles and realized it was one of the most peaceful and literally enchanting moments I’ve experienced in a long time! There I was, just me, my thoughts and the calm of the night.

The quiet that surrounded me was inside and I found clarity in that silence. There was no brain chatter, no distraction, all was calm, I couldn’t DO anything but BE with ME. As I sat staring at the candle flame, I was silent and at peace. I reflected on the events of the day and realized the gift I had been given.

The next time you suddenly feel like you’ve been hit by a truck or as if the rug was pulled out from under your feet look for the gift you were given by the experience. And by all means if the power goes out remember…YOU are never powerless!~Shine Your Light Debbie

ENERGY (Part 2) – THE TORCH OF FAITH [blog] (themoecashchronicles.com)
Equanimity (teachstreet.com)

Have you noticed as you walk the path of conscious evolution how those seemingly darkest moments in time are always followed by a time of great joy & happiness? In life there are certain truths and this is one of them. Everything has its own cycle. There is a reason and season for everything! 🙂

In terms of energy and spiritual growth the same is true. You are taking steps to heal, focusing on all things positive & loving, trying to be a good person then suddenly you find yourself in darkness and despair! Why does this happen when you are clearly doing what is necessary to find peace & calm within?

With each step you take to raise your vibration you are releasing more and more of the ‘stuff’ that you have taken on that really isn’t YOU. In the middle of this release all the energy, invalidation, programming and pain that is clearing is swirling about in your aura and it may be all that you can see!

What you see, feel and experience is filtered through the energy you are releasing. Think of it like looking through sunglasses. Things don’t look the same!

Another way to look at it is to think of it in terms of the dawn. There is the darkness of night and as the sun begins to shine her light on the horizon, it doesn’t light up everything, yet moment by moment more is revealed. The mist that appears to blanket the earth slowly gets burned off by the sun, finally revealing with clarity the surrounding landscape.

Thus it is the same with your energy! Those moments of darkness are a clearing, a lesson to be learned, a step you are taking or a raise in your vibration. It could be all the aforementioned at once! If all you are seeing is the dark, it’s time to remember that you have within you the ability to bring in the sun and CLEAR THE MISTS.

Each one of us experiences darkness & pain at one time or another. It’s not about NEVER going through those moments because so many times those moments are the ones that truly make us appreciate the light of awareness that much more. It is, however about how you handle those moments and what you take from them.

Whenever you experience a darkest of dark moment remember that it is there for you to learn, grow and evolve as spirit. Those moments are the perfect time to find your strength & resolve. Yes, you do have that within when you choose to find it!

Remember you are always evolving and this is part of your journey! Remember to have hope, faith and trust in the process. Most of all remember that it’s always darkest before the dawn and this too shall pass! ~Shine Your Light Debbie
