We Are All Being Tested

We are all being tested in a big way right now.  Pushed to a place that feels uncomfortable.  Often times these tests were inevitable, and if we took a moment to pause, we could see that at least a part of us knew it was coming.

We are all psychics and mystics if we stop for a moment and trace our lifelines and pay attention where they are headed.  We just get so caught up in the foray of everyday life that the subtle undercurrent is never truly loud enough to get our attention – until it is.

Every single person in my life, me included, is facing something that is causing their entire being to take on a whole different understanding of life.  A definitive moment in time where something changed forever and the sameness that once was will never return.  Forever altered into this new uncomfortable reality.

I heard something to the effect “if you talked to every stranger on the street and asked them what they were dealing with – you would be grateful not to be them.” You would prefer your own woes to theirs, your own lessons to their fate.

What we do now matters.  How we treat each other matters.    The energy is loud and restructuring the fabric of reality.  And in this restructuring, there can be giant snags and wrinkles, and dire misunderstandings entangled with grief, loss, shock, and anger. Feelings of insecurity and hopelessness will rise as a world once held together by certainty tears apart.

I will not pretend like I know what the right thing is to do.  I am simply right here in it with you all, taking notes.

I know that softening a little will help, gratitude for what is working in our lives, for the people that are supporting us, and for the air in our lungs will ease the gravity of the situations that we cannot change and have been forced to ride out. 

Spirituality teaches that these tidal waves of life serve as teachers, and we are to get on our surfboards and somehow ride the currents of life grasping what tidbits of knowledge that we can. Sometimes we cause our own tidal waves again and again by refusing to learn our lessons. But not this time. These are new lessons.

The energy right now is not comprised of personal lessons determined by our own action or in action. What we are faced with is completely out of our control. The lesson, if there is one, besides simply to endure, would be in our own ability to respond and provide ourselves with the compassion we deserve at these very trying times. A new level of growth in our own experience and another cosmic leap in the consciousness of humanity.

Another thing spirituality teaches is of a time of great awakening for human consciousness. But it seems like these times are predicted each and every year, this year 2025 we are to experience a mass shift, as we were in 2024 and will again in 2026. They are always predicting we are just on the verge of something huge and transformational, and by and large they are always right, because we always are.

I must say right now at this very moment, March 21, 2025, things definitely seem heavy.

I guess this is life.  And I guess I am here for it.  Here for you.  If you need to chat, my inbox is always open, and I am always just a click away! Alecia@intentions-yoga.ca
