Bearing the Energy of Change

It can be hard to bear the energy arising that we interpret as a signal to change. Your mind tells you it is time to move in another direction. The mind wants to coopt this energy for its own story of you; to manage it, describe it, and help you along by assimilating it.  It can be very tempting to believe the dialog.  But the mind can only write captions under a process that has its own life, its own beginning, own end.

Yes, it may turn out that you knew where this energy was going. Energetic shifts have their own purpose that may not be clear. Try to bear this emergent energy by noticing its power but not focusing on your story about it. You may get a new job, break up with your partner, start a diet, find a new house. Relax. Often enough, this forward moving energy dies without producing anything.

That something should be produced is only an idea running through the mind. Even if the event you anticipated occurs, you don't really know what was actually accomplished.
