Hi CMF
I find times like this really challenge me, especially if I can feel such times so deeply. I find they can border on depressing and I don't use this term loosely. Mentally, it can feel like you could drop to your knees and question, as you cry to the powers that be 'Why have you abandoned me? I've been doing everything possible to make this all work and now it's gone, my ability to work it. What am I doing wrong?!'. Physically, I can feel like a happiness junkie coming down from a fix. There's no longer the kind of energy there that keeps me so high that it feels like heaven on earth. And naturally/spiritually, it can feel soul destroying.
I used to suffer terribly through such episodes until, after them happening so often, I came to realise they're a natural part of the process. I've come to expect such times. Such times can tell you you're in a challenge. Such times can also act as 'testing times', to see how well you've mastered what you know or what you've learned so far. They can also be times that dictate the importance of focusing on 'charging up', especially if you've been facing exhausting people or situations. If we're vibing low, it can also be a sign that we're vibing on the verge of getting sick like with a cold. They can happen as a wake up call to regularly 'Stay connected' in a more conscious way. With this one, people partake in regular meditation practice or prayer. I smile when I say it's kind of like 'Checking in' or 'Phoning home'. There can be a lot of reasons. Rest assured, you'll be up and running again, something to look forward to.
With a 'Checking in' prayer or meditation, which can take as long as you like, it might go a little like...Finding your place/your connection, by relaxing/gradually breathing into it, you might enter into heartfelt thought such as 'I am deeply grateful for the life I have been given. I am grateful for the lessons I have learned from so far. I am grateful for the gifts. Today I am feeling stuck and don't know how to move forward. I feel lost and can't see or hear or feel the way ahead. I need a hint, a sign, some assistance with direction...'. Then, observe what naturally comes to mind. Could be an image of the way forward or could be something like the words 'Stop trying to get somewhere and just relax and observe', for example.
Can be hard to know at times what are our ego based words and visions and what is our inner tuition, the instruction or teachings that come to us from out of the blue 🙂
