Embracing the Gray Area: Breaking Free from Extremes
December strolls, homeschooling adventures, and embracing change. We're moving from one way of doing things, layering gracefully day by day into our new approach. It's all about finding that grace in transition, shifting, and healing from one mentality, mindset, lifestyle, stage, age, and year to the next.
We're navigating the real gray period, the in-between, where life gets complex. It's where we need to rest, be, and transcend. We can't always be in the giving and receiving; we need those in-betweeners!
Everyone usually hates the limbo stages of life, but more so, we don't understand what to do with our cells in a society that's taught two extremes and not healthy versions of either. The left logic giving and the right rational receiving both need to go to life rehab and get a whole detox on their way of living!
We've got to do the work, but it doesn't have to be so extreme. We have to get out of the extremes — this way of charging our cells:
- The Adrenaline Junkie: constantly seeking the next thrill, never stopping to breathe.
- The Cracked-Out Culture: perpetually plugged in, addicted to screens, and neglecting our well-being.
- The Obsessed Society: fixated on productivity, achievement, and external validation, forgetting our true nature.
- The Attached Nation: clinging to possessions, status, and ego, rather than embracing freedom and simplicity.
It's time for a change! We're recognizing the importance of reflection time, processing time, resting time, and alchemizing time. It's about managing our ideas, thoughts, feelings, and actions, on their way of living! Get themselves straight and work together, realizing one's the left side and one's the right side, and when they work together, they're whole.
The dominating left side of the brain has become a bully and has no time in this rat race mentality for its counterpart, the right side of the brain. Everyone's walking in circles, looping in the same cycles and patterns, obvious when ya take a step out of the smaller cell-centred states.
Hence, the "red in centred", the root, the base, the chakra pertaining to our basic survival system and instincts, the reptilian part of the brain. Our environment, family, body, foundation - all are represented in this area.
When it's not balanced, it leads to:
- Feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and fear
- Financial struggles, poverty mindset
- Health issues, such as adrenal fatigue, lower back pain
- Emotional instability, mood swings
- Difficulty setting boundaries, feeling grounded
- Disconnection from nature, our bodies, and our intuition
- Unhealthy codependent relationships
