I know most here aren't busy with it, but I'm curious regardless if people here feel that today is somewhat different, maybe even the last few weeks.
This can be good or not so good, for instance not sleeping so well, feeling tired and drained, having more aches in the body, maybe headaches, and whatnot.
That's because it has to do with letting go of old habits and patterns that don't serve you any longer.
It offers an opportunity to start afresh, a new chapter in your life. But as with most changes and transitions, this can be uncomfortable.

Today, the 8th, is a portal, meaning a specific alignment of planets, and there are tremendously high incoming energies today. This has been building up for a week and a half, that why you can have felt out of sorts for longer.
You do NOT have to believe in this. It happens. And today is the peak of it.

This year it has been okay and good for me, previous years it has been a very hard couple of weeks. But I chose to deal differently with it this time.

I did a high energy meditation just now, and holy cow!! I got off my grounding again and again. That hasn't happened to me in years!
The energies really are high and powerful!

I didn't stick it in 'paranormal & Mysterious' as it isn't paranormal, nor mysterious

Anyone noticing feeling different?

I've certainly noticed a difference, today especially, and not in a good way.

I've already seen the doctor twice today and I definitely have more aches and pains than usual (not connected to the reason I was at the surgery). Roll on tomorrow. Sure as heck it's gotta be better than today!

((((Delightful)))) I hope it settles down for you real soon!

I wish you all the best, Delightful

Thanks Crystal

Thank you Larsi. More of a nuisance than anything

Hope you are feeling better soon Delightful..

Thanks Dino.

This is Crystal's thread and I was only replying to her question.

Sorry Crystal

I'm sure Crystal doesn't mind, she's a wee star..

I'm definitely feeling it... I'm glad I got online just now during my lunch break. I've been doing great as far as working with and discerning the energy around me... Except the last couple days and today it's quite a challenge.

Thanks Crystal, now that I know what's going on it will be easier to get through the day. Hopefully, haha. I'm mostly feeling anxious. Time to get back to work... Thanks again.

No problem, Delightful! Things go the way they go and a little compassion is never wrong!

Charmer! It does work though

You're welcome! Try to ground yourself as much as you can. Stamping feet even is grounding, hihi. Grounding the high energies helps!

I only speak the truth..

I ground myself too. I prefer to do it outside next to nature. I had a lovely tree at my old place and focussed on that whilst imaging the energy flowing through me from the ground up. Sadly, I don't have a tree in my garden where I now live.

Perhaps I should ground myself now and invite the green healing energy to help me today. Oh, just remembered, I have a green amethyst crystal. I wonder if that would also help?

Thank you

Amethyst is not typically a grounding crystal as it works on the higher chakra, depending on its colour either the 3rd eye (darker amethyst) or the crown (lighter).
So it may have the opposite effect, but trust your intuition.

Grounding is not so difficult. Visualize roots growing out of your feet deep into the ground, stamping your feet a bit (activates the foot chakras), eating red foods, also putting body lotion on your body, and so on.
The roots would be good though, then also visualize the high and/or excess energies flow into the earth through them.

It's a light green amethyst I have. I got it to help me through a bad time years ago. I used to put it under my pillow each night. I also have rose quartz, apache tear and apatite. I think the blue apatite would better help my health than the others.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated

PS amethyst is calming to most people, so if it feels that way to you and you need that, it could be good anyway. But use your intuition.
