Depression? Why wait?

It has you in its grip. 

Why wait?

 

Why wait until you decide?

Why wait to be happy?

Why wait for dawn before you feel?

You can enjoy a flower before the bee arrives

Your depression isn't yours

Why wait to own it?

It's a back pack 

It will stay

Why wait to release it

When you cant

It ain't going anywhere 

It can stay

Why wait to acknowledge 

There's more in life to focus on

Every body has a freckle

Why wait?

Let your love of yourself catch up

To jump on your back

To squeeze the life

Out of that back pack

It robs you of your smile if you wait

Wait, why wait?

Let that tear fall

Smiles and tears

Why wait to embrace? 

You no longer wait

To run into the sunlight

But wait

No... don't wait...

🙂

Hi everyone, therising and Em,😊


I just wanted to add that smudging is very cleansing, I also like to put it over myself sometimes and also selenite crystals are very cleansing.

 

Selenite calms and soothes, bringing a deep peace and sense of tranquility.

 

You can use selenite in a grid around your home or in the corners of a room to create a safe and peaceful space.

 

Selenite brings mental clarity, clearing confusion and revealing the bigger picture behind the problem.

Hi the rising,

 

In the 9 years of being here, 8 as CC, I've rarely been so moved. You have been known here as very intelligent and a wonderful member and it is nice to feel we can all help each other when these times come around.

 

Marriage split is so hard. Had 3 previous long term relationships 7 years, 11 (married 2 kids), 10 years and now having married my best friend we've been together 11 years. Those first 3 splits were hard but once I made the move within 48 hours or so I felt better and knew I'd made the best decision.

 

And that brick wall laughing? You'll do less injury jumping over it using your white wings.

Hi Petal22

 

I'm off to buy some selenite today and add it to my toolbox. Thank you for the guidance. Sometimes I forget my toolbox exists, my 'go to' for dealing with mental, emotional, physical and soulful challenges of this world. Something tells me I need to begin seriously adding to it now for it to become a reliable resource. I need to start being 'in charge' in more ways than one. 'Flat battery' mode does us no good, that's for sure. 

 

I have a couple of oracle decks in my toolbox. I was thoroughly amused when I got one out after my ground breaking revelation, thanks to Tony and EM. The amusement was based on the card that came out being all about, in a nutshell, 'You will have a mind altering revelation that will change the course of your life. Procrastination has been holding you back, leading up to this point where all will begin to change'. It was largely about procrastination and no longer waiting for things to change.

 

With each crystal holding a different kind of charge, perhaps I'll come home with a variety of charges in my shopping bag. Rose quartz comes to mind.

Hi therising,

 

You are in charge! Really you are just decide to be and you will be what you intend to be.

 

Thats ok 😊 I hope you enjoy your selenite.

 

Rose quartz is also such a beautiful crystal…… it always brings “ self LOVE to my mind.

 

Wow how mind altering to read that card….. it was meant to be.

 

Im sorry to hear of your struggles at the moment, sometimes I feel that sometimes people can get stuck in their ways and find it hard to grow or change but it’s their life journey and they will learn and evolve at their own time.

 

You are such a beautiful inspiring soul who has so much empathy, beauty and LOVE.


Please remember to give yourself some self love because you really deserve that.

 

Keep shining your light because the world needs more of that.

 

❤️

Hi Petal22

 

You're so beautiful, you truly are. With the beauty, empathy, love and light you project, you are an obvious gift to this world. I had so many chills reading your post. I love that feeling, the feeling of something 'ringing true'.

 

I got a little out of control in the shop but it felt great. Some selenite, rose quartz, amethyst, a candle, a guided meditation cd and a mobile to catch the light, for when the sun comes through the window. I had to force myself to leave before I lost my ability to pay for this weeks groceries😁

 

Thanks to you, Tony and EM, I can feel myself in charge. Haven't felt that way for a long time. No wonder I was feeling down, not feeling life this way. You've all managed to set me on a new path❤️

Hi Tony

 

At the moment I'm powering through the brick walls, one after the other. It's such an invigorating feeling. Having faced this feeling in the past on occasions, I know I have to be careful. Hyperactivity has to be strategically balanced with relaxed activity, to help avoid burnout. The 'burnout' feeling/pure exhaustion after a high can eventually become a depressing feeling (not feeling that energy anymore, not feeling the high). Kind of feels like the energy's abandoned you and you can be left feeling like you'll never get it back. I've learned over the years that a depressing lack of energy is a real trigger for me. It's not just a basic lack or a serious lack I'm talking about. It's the kind of lack that can leave you feeling completely disconnected from life.

 

Tony, I will never be able to translate into words the depths of my gratitude. The best I can do, in conveying how I am now feeling is...You've brought me back to life. I've missed it so much❤️

Hi therising,

 

Thank you for your kind words to me they really mean alot 😊

 

I believe that LOVE is the true essence of us all,  if only more people learned to tune into this energy what a beautiful world it would become.

 

Im so glad that my post resonated with you.

 

Wow, yes I understand the chills it’s as though they symbolise true clarity and a knowing…. 🙏 just beautiful.

 

Sounds like you had a fabulous time in the shop, all of those things you bought sound wonderful.

 

Im so glad that you feel IN CHARGE ❤️ you can only build on it from here….

Once we can captivate the energy we want to be we only feel as though we want to vibrate higher and to do this we need to keep tuning into the energy we want to be and then become it ❤️

I’ve loved chatting to you and I’m so grateful that you feel as though you are on a new path ❤️🙏 just beautiful 

 

Keep shining and sending you LOVE and LIGHT ❤️

Hi the rising

 

I'm humbled but, it wasn't much. See, 35 years ago after smoking cigarettes for 10 years eiyh numerous attempts to stop, an old man, upon hearing me say "I've gotta go have a smoke" simply said "you don't need it". He'd lit the spark. I walked outside, threw the packet away and never had another.

 

I'm so happy for you. You'll no longer wait!. Damn that's progress!. The wave you ride now may settle, that's OK, it's OK to dock for a time, but now you'll be eager to set sail, the wind is refreshing in your face, your smile is fixed, nothing and nobody can stand in your way.

 

Hyperactive? Who cares, you're not hurting anyone.

 

HAPPY HORIZON

The crows nest finds your eager feet

Far better than society Street

And where you raise the telescopic  lens

You find no further need, to please and pretend

 

For you have raised your anchor alone

To set sail, a new life has begun

Casted away from those dancing a different beat

Leaving the dread in society Street...
