anxiety and worrying


fairies in the tree.
I woke up this morning thinking about the pear mystery school and I was really anxious about it. Actually, I was filled with incredible doubt. Who am I to do this all by myself. Then I realized that I am not doing this all by myself but with 9 amazing women who bring in so much love , caring and wisdom that I need not worry. I feel that I worry all of the time. If it is not about the mystery school then it is about getting the taxes in on time or making sure that there is food for the dogs or that the recycling is taken to the curb. I think sometimes about why I worry so much. Often, it doesn't get me anywhere except to worry even more. So then, I stop thinking but knowing me, that lasts for about 5 minutes and I am thinking again.

However, I did have a thought about worrying and anxiety that could be helpful. Perhaps, being worried and anxious is a way to keep grounded. I feel that sometimes I really go so far out into the ethers that if these things are not tended to then life on earth will not be safe enough. I know that this sounds dramatic. However, I feel that most of us probably have a very powerful  and interesting inner world that can keep us highly entertained. And we also need to keep ourselves safe while we connect with the spiritual world. Perhaps worrying and anxiety are just anchors and they do  keep us safer. I am still worried about things but maybe a little  bit less about the Mystery school. I am looking forward to seeing everyone on the 16th at 10:00AM. Love you.

  1. Just wanted to share that I am feeling such a sense of anticipation over the start of our mystery school. It is not an "intellectual" sense of expectation, but feels more like my soul is stirring with excitement--that it already knows the outcome and is telling me that this will be a very powerful, transformative experience. When my head does get involved, I feel anxious about the unknown and worry about whether I will be able to "perform" as a member of the group. But then I silence that voice and allow myself to settle into the knowing that we will all carry each other through an amazing journey.
