Enoughness and Balance

The two go hand in hand. When you have a sense of enoughness, you know when you have had an ample amount to eat, for instance, and stop at the right time. And when you get quite good, you'll know just the right amount of food to put on your plate.

To be in balance, one needs to be mindful. The same is true for the state of enoughness.

Striking a balance is more important than ever Earthling. It is so easy to slip off the scale if you will in this energy and at this particular time of year.

The financial woes of your wold do add a lot of uncertainty and a globalized fear. Even those of you who can block it are well aware of its presence, and how it affects those around you.

You may be okay and at peace with whatever is going on now, and what will occur in the future. Still, you have no idea what you are in for and how the world as a whole, and as separate entities (continents, countries, regions, cities, families, individuals) will react. What will happen and when is anybody's guess really. We have no say or influence in man-made systems, although natural occurrences do tend to reveal where the cracks are...

Also, while you may be okay with impending system collapses paving the way for renewal, there is a lot of people walking around with great fear in their eyes and heart. While they know the different systems are not working, they are hard-pressed to see another way to go. Do your best to tip the scale in their favour if you will. By dropping pebbles of food for thought, insight and inner wisdom, while leaving others decide which ones they will pick up, if any. Still, simply by being there, in your energy, and being calm, collected, centered and in balance, you will change their world, if only  for a fleeting moment...

So much can change in an instant, never underestimate the power of you.

There is an electrification at the moment. A lot of overdoing, overstimulation or a spark of promptness. Some of you will react quite quickly despite your better instincts or knowingness. There is just something in the air that is facilitating conflict or rants - excesses of all kinds. Like being part of the problem instead of the solution based on the elements that are being focused on by the masses. 

It is very easy to get caught up in the speed/intensity and electricity (as in conflict and overconsumption) of the moment at this current time.

There is a lot of talk, a lot of action, a lot of the wrong food. So much of everything it seems. Yes, it goes with your "season" - well, how it has been manufactured, but it is being magnified by the state of your world.

The world scale is far from being in equilibrium. And this softness We have been talking about for a while is all about restoring this lost balance.

So that everyone has enough.

The inflexible and forceful energy surrounding all of these cracked man-made systems are just clashing with the softness of balance - which is all about enoughness: enough rest, enough food, enough energy, time, money...

Yes, having a reserve of some of these things that can be accumulated is necessary, still, there is also a point when you know you have plenty, enough.

Squirrels do amass a vast number of nuts. More than they need, in case some get stolen or they forget where they stored them. Still, at one point they stop accumulating and do others things squirrels are born to do.

The notion of "enough" has somehow almost disappeared from many people's lives. Some parts of the world live in great excess; others, in great lack. And within each, the other lives too - as in lavishness in countries where need is predominant and the reverse.

You know that the only thing you will bring with you when you pass on are the knowingness, the wisdom, and the experiences of your soul, as well as the memory of all the love given and received. The imprint you left on this Earth will also be stored, just not necessarily with you. But you will carry the link. Some Earthlings will die with bank accounts filled enough to sustain a small country and with an empty heart. They will have not much to bring with them when they fully return to spirit.

Just food for thought.

Still, while some of you seem to be in overdrive, another group is moving along like snails.

Now, do not get us wrong, this has nothing to do with laziness. You are moving slowly out of necessity, for you need a vast amount of rest and downtime to stay in balance. You are simply reacting very differently to the same energy.

You see, you sense this flurry of energy/imbalance is mostly man-made and you are choosing to occupy yourself. To be in your body. In your emotions. Your thoughts. Your heart. You are fine-tuning yourself. Doing what you must to be in harmony, even if that means doing a lot less in this period of great doing.

It is much easier to notice the scale if off balance when you are moving along at a pace that is more natural for you.

Those of you who are one a speedboat still have full control  Know you always have a choice to slow down or stop when you realize you've been going over your speed limit. Sure, the speed boat drivers behind and next to you may get annoyed by the slight decrease in speed, but they will quickly zoom by, some of them increasing their speed to make up for lost time... Sigh.

While there are always plenty of external factors you must take into account or at least be aware of, living in balance is ultimately up to you. For only you know when you have enough... and/or have had enough (smile). When channelled properly, the latter can bring about powerful change.

Achieving this balance and recognizing the state of enoughness may involve rearranging priorities, compromise, sacrifices and so on. Always worth it when it feels right. Always your call.

Balance is also about acknowledging you cannot do everything by yourself. Sometimes, help or delegation is needed. 

When you explain things as they are, you may get much more understanding, compassion and help/support from your boss, coworkers, family members, spouse than you believe they are willing to give you.

So often, you decide for them and forgo asking for help or flexibility altogether. Give them some credit, will you?

Sure, there are probably a lot of elements of your life you will have to keep to yourself, you know what aspects are safe to share. Still, if you are true in the information you present and fair in your request, they will most likely do everything in their power to help you achieve your balance.

They are human too you know, and even if they cannot possibly understand everything about you and what you have gone through this past Earthly year - even you do not sometimes - they can almost always relate to some level.

After all, stuff has been happening in their lives too. How could it not given the immensity and intensity of the various shifts that have occurred on this planet. Mind you, they may be a lot more perplexed and confused than you about the meaning of it all. 

So many do all they can to keep on trucking, no matter how they feel, for that is what they have always done/known. They may very well have had enough, but have no idea how to break the cycle. After all, they are simply doing what they have been taught, that is to follow that cycle.

By reaching out to others in your quest for balance and enoughness, you will teach them that is is okay to do things differently, to put more value into their own balance and sense of enoughness..

You can say what you want, your actions, how  you navigate in this world and interact with others tends to have a more lasting impression than anything you may utter. If they do not match your actions that is.

Talking is so easy. On the other hand, being and doing what was said takes effort. 

So the Messenger has been rather quiet this past week. She has been honouring her great need for rest. There have been days where she could not do anything. She felt fine, and wanted (needed) to get some things done, but she only had enough energy to be. All she could do (and truly wanted to do, despite Earthly obligations) was to be in this new softness.

She is being recalibrated if you will.

There is a saying about balance she really likes. The gist of it is "when there is balance during the week, the weekend becomes dessert". Very simple, still, it has had a powerful and lasting effect on her. Sometimes you do not need much to discover what is required to make your life smoother, more balanced.

As elements are being added in her life, she constantly needs to rebalance herself, her routine, make adjustments. Balance requires fluidity you see. It is the only way she can continue her work, her mission.

The same goes for you.

In this period (time of year) of excess, think about what you have. No comparison. Just how you/your family are doing in all aspect of life. Where do you have too much? Just enough? Too little? What can you do/rearrange/shuffle around to live in (restore) balance? 

When your goal is to have enough - as opposed to more, more, more - feeling and living/embodying the softness comes naturally. You let yourself get wrapped in it, like a cuddly, comforting, soothing blanket where everything is perfect as it is, even if some adjustments are required.

You can completely reinvent your life with this simple change of focus.

And when enough people are in this frame of mind (balance and enoughness), it will change the world.

This is All.

Much Light and Love to Everyone.
