I wanted to share with you part of an article by Kathy Biehl on www.thecosmicpath.com, one of my favorite astrology sites. It alludes to the current frenzy over Sarah Palin, but it is a great message to apply to all aspects of our lives, not just the political realm. Let us shift our energy back to the light.
"Remember: Thoughts and words carry energy. If you pour a lot of energy into something, you are underscoring its existence and importance. If you’re constantly fighting against something, you’re empowering it just as much as if you constantly ran around singing its praises – maybe more, actually, because you’re probably more passionate about your dislikes than your likes, and the intensity of passion works as rocket fuel.
Begin by being mindful of what you are thinking and saying about the economy and the election and especially the candidates. Furious, hateful and terrified energy can’t create anything but fury, hate and terror. If nasty energy is coming at you and you meet it on its own terms, you end up validating it, embracing it and becoming one with it. You feel physically and emotionally drained as a result, and you’re participating in the spread of the pathogen. Also, when you argue vehemently against someone’s position, you are handing power to that person and letting him/her define the conversation. And you are dignifying that person and position attention – which is just what they want.
So take control. Shore up your perimeters and reclaim your intactness; it’s the imperative of this month’s Pisces Full Moon. If you really can’t stand a candidate, stop talking about him or her so much. If you are furious and feel powerless about a claim, lie, proposal, whatever, transmute your emotion – which is powerful – into something else. Stomp it off; weed your garden; get it out of your body and your energy field. Do not feed negative energy with more negativity. Then, if you still feel compelled to speak out or act, do it from a position of calm, centeredness and integrity. Act; don’t react. Turn your focus, attention and energy toward what you do want. Talk about the candidates and positions you do support. Work for them, rather than against their opponents.
Above all, think and speak in terms of the world you want to be living in a few months down the line, rather than the possible one you fear will be imposed on you. Nurture that positive vision. Bring it back to mind every time you’re knocked off-center by a news item or e-mail forward or bit of conversation. Make that vision your starting point and your homing point."
