Calm Amid the Chaos

Expanding on #9 on my list of “10 Reasons to Work With Your Spirit”…

We can compare the orderly state of the universe at its inception and the ensuing entropy with the resulting disorder that occurs as our lives unfold. Similar to how physicists examine the origins of our universe through look-back time, we find order as we return to a state of inner harmony.

Over time the increasing pressure of life’s expectations propel us to a sprinting pace and, as the momentum increases, many of us are unable to get back to a state of peacefulness within. Although vacations and getaways can help, the mounting pressure for time and energy become overwhelming and the stress can potentially accumulate in the form of health and personal problems. But how do we arrive at and maintain our composure during tense times and extrapolate it outward into our relationships, the workplace and elsewhere?

Especially if you’re sensitive to the energies of others, it’s often more difficult to calm your mind, body and emotions, so you can more easily think rather than react. For instance, what if you suddenly became overwrought by an influx of thoughts and emotions that left you tongue-tied, just when you’ve begun a long-awaited conversation with that influential person? Why does that happen and what should you do to alleviate your chaos at that moment?

The confusing convergence of memories, emotionality and anticipation can be aptly counteracted by proper refusal in all time dimensions. When memories from the past become intertwined with the emotions you’re currently feeling and the anxiety of what’s possibly going to happen, you could find yourself unable to focus amid all the mental commotion. By working with your spirit in a specific manner, you can more easily disengage from chaos and return to calmness before and during those crucial moments when you need to be in full control of your faculties.

If you’ve been hit by a health, financial or relationship chaos, there is inevitably a cascade of higher-level negativity that is attracted to you at the same time to cause even greater interference. It’s how you handle the higher-level turbulence that determines how the negativity will affect you, and your spirit is fully equipped to effectively respond to that aspect.

Our response to how we deal with stressful situations is learned so, if we had learned how to counteract – rather than react to – the chaos when we were children, we could quickly get back to a composed state. Children can more easily deal with overwhelming situations, while adults have to overcome ingrained habits and accumulated negativity.

In order to maintain a state in which your mind and body are at ease, it’s essential to get into the habit of refusing and counteracting negativity in a timely manner. When you’re not in control of the tension, you’re accepting it, thereby attracting and allowing further negativity to distance you from your tranquil state.
