Conscious Aging Women May 2025

This has been a very difficult, frightening and chaotic few weeks. It is very difficult to stay conscious when we are frightened and feeling so out of balance. It seems there is little, if anything at all, to hang on to, to be happy about. We find it difficult to protect our hearts when we see so much pain and suffering. Lashing out seems to be the only emotional outlet available.

One thing we can hang onto is the fact that it is not humane to purposely hurt and destroy people and their livelihoods. When we act out of malice and intentionally plan to hurt others, it boomerangs back onto us. Because, to create this kind of mindset, we are creating a "darkness" in ourselves and that darkness is not physically or mentally heathy. If we continue in this vein, then we are filling ourselves, our hearts, our minds and bodies with poison. We are making ourselves less than human.

Spiritual leaders have told us over many thousands of years that we are all connected. They have said that, what you do to others, you do to yourself. And, with the advent of quantum physics, science has proven that we are all inter-connected. So, when you hurt others, you hurt yourself. Many of us still need to learn and practice this law of the Spirit and this law of science.

Let us not use the fact that we are angry, or heartbroken, or feeling hopeless, take us into the space of wishing "ill" on others. Let's remember our humanity and find whatever we can hold onto, a friend, a spouse, children, a pet, the beauty of nature, so we don't lose our humanity. Let us make choices that support life. If we remember to do that, we are standing on the side of our humanness and are planting the seeds of compassion and love in our community and family.

Stay conscious and stay human, even in the darkness where we are currently living. Keep your Light strong and, when you cannot do that, then forgive and love yourself, and start again!
