When you think about your
life, do you see yourself as having to be in control, or as the one who is
always being controlled by others? Do
you always have all the details carefully worked and explained to everyone why
it is so important to do things your way?
Or are you at the other end of the spectrum and afraid to speak up for
yourself? Of course, most of us are
somewhere in between. Sometimes you need
for things to be done your way, and sometimes how it’s done just isn’t
important.
Control is a major game on
this planet. If you wish to feel more in
control of your life events, or to lessen your need to be so controlling, you
can start by looking at how much you are able to control your personal energy
and space. Do you throw your energy around blasting
people? Is it scattered among all of your activities, which leaves you feeling drained? Do you get angry when someone more
controlling than you walks into the room?
How does your level of
personal control impact the greater picture of your life? Your activities and experiences are a direct
reflection of your inner world. How can
it be otherwise?! For example, think of
someone you know who leads a very hectic life (it’s always so much easier to
see these things in other people!). This
person might believe that all of these overwhelming events are happening to him
or her, and therefore he or she responds by feeling frantic and
overwhelmed. But, actually, the reverse
is true. This person thinks and acts
frantically, thus sending out frantic energy, which then attracts the
experiences to validate his or her feelings and beliefs. The spiritual lesson here is to first be
aware of your thoughts and beliefs which affect the energy that you send out
into the universe.
One of the most basic,
effective psychic tools for starting to control your energy and space, which
you probably have heard about, is grounding.
Sitting down in a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the floor,
imagine dropping a giant anchor on a very thick rope or chain all the way down
to the center of the earth. The other
end of the rope is attached very firmly to the base of your spine. You can deliberately send any emotional energy
down this grounding cord instead of throwing it around at people. Grounding also helps to pull you in closer to
your body. It is that first step to
learning how to be more spiritually aware in your body.
Your ways of being in control
of your life were probably developed as coping mechanisms and have served you
in that function. There is no judgment here. This isn't about making yourself
change. But you can increase your
awareness of how you operate in the world.
With increased awareness you can make different decisions which will better serve you and the people around
you.
