Surfing Emotional Intensity

Here we are on the eve of the Summer Solstice - my cheeks are burning with fire and I've had waves of strong emotion crashing through me since last Thursday. They say the Solstice energies are felt 7 days before and 7 days afterwards, so it seems my timing is perfect!

The first thing I have to say about really strong emotions is that it is very easy to be fully present in them. Have you ever noticed in the heat of the moment you're not worrying about what every one will think of you or what will happen next, you're just completely in it. That's how I know these are intense energies, they have demanded my complete and full attention!!

I am, generally speaking, a calm and even-keeled person so it's fascinating (and somewhat uncomfortable) for me to experience these unstoppable waves coursing through me. Although I have to say my in built filters don't always allow the emotions to break without a little encouragement. I feel the general swell of emotion building and I start to feel what I can only describe as 'funky' for no apparent reason. It's such an intense and unsettling feeling that it sends me scurrying to pad and pen for the magic of automatic writing and then before I know it....    surf's up and I'm riding the wave! Whohooo!!!

The intensity of the emotions this last week has literally taken me aback - it's been a choppy week with anger and self pity riding high. As a high-empathy often times I can't tell if the emotion is mine or if it is originating somewhere else, and to a large extent it matters not - this is work to be done. So I've gone about my work with due diligence taking the necessary time and space to allow these energies to ride through me unhindered and undirected. These emotions aren't who I am nor are they in direct response to anything in my present environment, so as the waves have run their natural course I've ensured no one else was caught in the rip! What a great week of practice and opportunity for self revelation.....and we still have full moon to come ; )))

So let's not go for a wipeout, let's ride these waves together and have some fun.

Hang-loose dear friends, the sunset is Golden!!!

p.s someone has just reminded me of a youtube clip I posted at the beginning of the month that foretold of  ''superficial wobbles''...that phrase is still making me chuckle....superficial wobbles indeed!!!!
