Where have you been a bridge in recent times, or has something or someone been a bridge for you toward a new beginning? Even if it’s only a thin thread for now, when the time is right it will become clear what connection has been made.
It may feel a little unfamiliar to truly believe in it. But know that this new connection is bringing you closer to who you are deep within. Renewal is on its way, and the energy to carry that renewal forward is reaching you now through the Blue Storm life path.
Now that the world, your world, may have changed, whether subtly or drastically, it is no longer possible to fall back into safe old habits and patterns. If you try to keep doing things the old way, it will increasingly begin to feel like a burden.
And in the meantime, storms arise: within you, around you, in the world. Much is unsettled; there is restlessness, uncertainty, fear, grief, longing. It is the chaos that precedes the birth of the new. Blue Storm is also known as the midwife: the powerful rock in the surf, standing firmly on two feet while the storm of contractions builds. The one who provides grounding, who does what is necessary for the birth of new life.
By that I mean allowing the unrest to be there, perhaps taking a moment for yourself to release. And then refraining from what you are used to doing with it. For example: dramatizing, explaining, labeling, analyzing, overpowering it, laughing it off, suppressing it, working hard on it, or collapsing helplessly in a corner.
Everyone has developed their own survival patterns to deal with unrest and discomfort. How beautiful that you can consciously choose to stop doing that and choose living instead of surviving. From the new stability that emerges, you will be able to show up much more powerfully after this Blue Storm path and consciously choose what you want for the future.
So what can you do? How do you choose the new life that wants to be born?
Surrender to what is, and go do something that needs to be done and that you’re capable of doing: something simple, something you can carry alongside it all. Make it easy on yourself. If, with your feelings of unrest, you do NOTHING other than let them be, you are releasing what is ready to let go of you. What ultimately remains is your essential SELF in the eye of the storm.
Doing “NOTHING” with your unrest actually takes a great deal of energy—physically, emotionally, mentally. It is, so to speak, advanced letting-go, and it doesn’t pair well with too many heavy tasks alongside it. Be gentle with yourself. Slow down and stay true to what you genuinely need.
If you find yourself caught in someone else’s storm, it is important to return to your own place and steer your own course. You are most valuable to someone in a storm when you find your own calm. Then you can be the rock in the surf for them—just like a midwife.
The great art is to surrender to the power of the storm. It is a force that cleanses, nourishes, and cares for—just as crops are nourished and grow through the rain. Perhaps you can even enjoy it, like a child dancing in the rain and splashing in puddles.
I wish you beautiful days in the eye of a gentle rainstorm.
