I got a large lesson in human nature this past weekend at my 13 year old's volleyball tournament. There were a lot of low vibe actions happening and coaches supporting and displaying a lot of poor sportsmanship. Yet if took the time and energy to look a little deeper you could see that these actions were rooted in something much deeper than poor sportsmanship. These negative patterns were instilled in them from their parents, their cultures, their ancestors and society.
Ancestral patterns can be both positive and negative. On one side of the spectrum it expands you and helps you be the best person you can be. On the other side it anchors you in fear, quite possibly not even recognizing it as fear. It keeps you stuck in the same patterns, never able to feel safe, appreciated, loved, or enough.
It takes courage, commitment, perseverance and love to overcome deeply engrained pain and trauma. Yet, that is exactly what the human spirit is designed to do. To see through the darkness of fear and embrace the light. To choose love over fear.
There are certainly plenty of opportunities in life today to choose love over fear. Some days it feels like the whole world is falling apart. Governments overreaching the limits of their power, so many challenges with the pandemic, feeling like you can’t trust the “other side”, worried about your kids education, not to mention job security, inflation, family matters, and all the normal stresses like going to the grocery store, getting meals on the table, trying to take care of yourself and be a good example for those around you.
Whew! Stressors are limitless these days.
But so are we!
We can be weighed down with all the fear, anger, grief, guilt, victimhood that we come into contact with daily -OR- we can see life clearly and choose to rise above. I mean really, what good comes out of you getting sucked down into the anger, fear and oppression? Nothing!
All the fear is a call for love.
It is asking your highest self to take the drivers seat instead of your small self.
Let go of the pride, jealousy, irritation, agitation, rage, smallness and step into the best version of you!
There are so many crystals that can support you on the journey from fear to love. The following crystals will help you face this world and all its challenges with the expansive energy of the heart and highest self.
