The sun is rising at zero degrees.
Zero degrees celsius that is.
Just at freezing, the clear blue sky is showing signs of a very pretty day ahead.
Cold, but sunny and that is okay. It is a welcoming thought even as the last throes of winter are preparing to play out.
This is my forecast for this day. A check in to see where this day may take me.
I could embrace some sunshine. All us northern winter bunnies would.
I finally got some good sleep and the urge to write rises with the growing morning light.
I look at my lapcat and whisper apologetically, it’s time for my laptop.
My struggle with insomnia these past weeks has created some adjustments in my daily and nightly routines.
I have done many things to help resolve my situation and I have met many people struggling with similar conditions.
I won’t call them ailments as we actually may not know what is the root of each person’s experience. Could we call them aid-ments? If insomnia is one of the ascension symptoms, so be it.
But what exactly is the purpose of staying awake all night? I scoff at that idea because I did not find it helpful at all.
Or did I?
I have been busy making changes in my life in order to find relief.
Oh sure, there are the obvious things like going to the doctor and finding the best sleep aids. Which by the way there are plenty. I strongly advise people to please do the research on these things before blindly popping a pill. I am watching friends taking large doses of very unhealthy remedies.
Hmm, personal choice can be marred by desperate situations.
I cannot judge because I now have personal experience at how desperate one can feel.
But, I have found relief and made some important discoveries along the way.
Personal growth, emotional, mental and physical healing have occurred during my journey which may have been a dark night of the soul.
I don’t know for sure if this is what this leg of the journey can be identified as, but it certainly felt it reached that criteria.
One such change I have been going through is the one of diet.
I have been tested to have some food intolerances.
What may have been considered as healthy food choices were actually working against me as consuming toxins.
I did not know. Now I know.
Changes need to be made and life just got a lot more complicated.
My new options are different and this is going to take some getting used to.
It also gives me awareness of the amount of toxins so readily available.
Just like the pill popping scenario, the food put in front of us isn’t always the best choice. The easiest but not the healthiest.
I have taken another step towards awareness and it isn’t going to be simple.
Fortunately others have walked this path before me.
There are many more choices available now than there were in the previous years.
Imagine how difficult it was for the pioneers in this situation. There were people that were challenged and had to find solutions.
Gratefully, they were willing to share the answers with others.
There are many food options out there and growing awareness everywhere.
This is a revolution in consumerism.
A revolution in the people taking back their power and saying we will not be poisoned by ignorance any longer.
I am going to dub this the Battle at the Cheeseburger.
Or maybe the Cereal killer. Read the ingredients. Your life may depend on it.
Another thing that has risen in my awareness is the environments that we live in.
For myself, I was a country gal growing up miles from anywhere. Now I reside in a city on an increasingly busy street.
It didn’t use to be this high traffic. But the influx of people and the constant building of apartments in the area has increased the noise pollution by 3000 %..
I really am not kidding. This used to be a neighborhood in transition from town to country. But now we are the main arterial to where everyone wants to live.
This area has been ranked the fastest growing in the nation.
And with that comes new issues.
Which actually sheds light on existing issues.
High traffic areas are filled with noise. And many many homes are being built in the middle of these noisy areas.
How do people sleep?
I did a quick dive on the effects of noise pollution on the human psyche. There are some valid health concerns due to the frenetic energy created by noise.
I will state the obvious here, Grouping large numbers of people together in a small area isn’t necessarily healthy.
There are too many different schedules going on and the traffic, in my area at least, has become nonstop day and night.
Now if it were a reasonable sized community and everyone was respectful of each other, mindful of their personal activity and how it affects others it would be a different idea. But where we are currently there are rarely any considerations for our impact upon others. At least not in how we chose to drive, what our car sounds like or how fast we need to get somewhere. All of these things affect our environment and largely go unaddressed.
It was a huge problem for me in Cairo.
That town is full of noise nonstop day and night. So many people. Constant honking. It was all Very loud.
I often wonder how nature tolerates our human arrogance in this way.
Loud power boats on pristine water, the invasive drone flights in populated areas and even blasting music in remote camping areas.
All of these things we claim as our right and as our freedom to do, but where are the affected considerations?
My common theme here is looking at what we take into our bodies and how we assimilate those ingestions.
Are we making healthy choices? Are we fully aware of the impact of those choices?
What are the toxins going into our bodies? What are we choosing to put into our bodies?
How is it affecting us? How is it affecting our health?
How aware are we of the toxins we are exposed to?
And what choices are we making towards personal care?
Let’s not leave out what we choose to ingest with all of our senses.
What does any of this have to do with ascension?
I have a working theory and it has to do with sacred geometry.
But that is another article on another day. So I will leave with a bit of a cliff hanger.
For now let it be said that we are all connected in ways we don’t often give considerations to.
Maybe just maybe when we go through personal challenges we can be assured that someone somewhere else is right there with us.
Whether you are being the pioneer or trying to find and follow the beaten path, there is always a reason for it.
Even if I wanted to scoff at that idea at first, I can now see the personal growth opportunity being presented.
In this way, as one in many ways, we are ascending together and we truly are all connected.
Welcome to 2024
where we are all pioneers
much love
