Haiti

Hey there! Welcome Back, I appreciate you being here... make sure you subscribe to my free 7 day Manifesting Course if you haven't already!

I didn’t want to write about the subject of the Haiti earthquake and about all of the suffering that people were experiencing from the comfort of my home, from the comfort of America. What would I have to contribute? But something inside is urging and inspiring me to write a post about it.

I remember being a child at my aunt, Dede’s funeral and my sisters and I were laughing in church. I remember feeling guilty for laughing because it was supposed to be sad. All of the adults were somber. I chalked it up to a nervous laugh. But as I reflect upon it now I’m not so sure. Perhaps it was my child-like knowing that wanted to help the situation. Maybe I wanted to connect with my Inner Being who saw Dede totally with God or something.

Have you every been around a family crisis or death? Were there children around? Do you remember how you felt looking at the lightness that those children brought to the situation? Can you remember how it felt to distract yourself for a few minutes from all of that sadness?

Major events in the world like the Haiti earthquake that take so many people’s lives, leave thousands of people suffering and homeless is so confusing. So many emotions come up of sadness, anger, guilt and powerlessness. As humans it is natural and important to feel compassion and sadness for others in such turmoil.

But what happens when the world comes together in those emotions? What happens when masses of people hang out in the energy of fear for a long time? I imagine the Law of Attraction takes over, for that’s what it does… responds to the energies we put out into the universe.

There’s no wonder why it feels so yucky.

The next time you see the devastation of the Haiti earthquake being talked about on Fox news or CNN take a breath and close your eyes. Ask your Inner Being how this feels. Check in with your inner guidance system.

I bet if it doesn’t feel good when you focus on the devastation and watch images over and over again of the suffering, then it is an indication from your higher self. I believe it is your inner wisdom telling you God doesn’t see it this way.

I think we have become a culture where we let media and popular thinking become our inner guidance. It tells us how we are supposed to think and feel. It tells us we are supposed to cry at funerals and get depressed in devastation. It’s the politically correct thing to do. If we don’t, then something is wrong with us. We are insensitive. We are heartless.

I actually think it’s just the opposite.

I think it’s irresponsible and almost selfish to dwell in sadness. I think it contributes to the problem.

Why? Because when we are hanging out in those low vibrational emotions we are disconnected from our Inner Being. We are disconnected from love. And from that disconnected state, how can we contribute to the healing?

Abraham-Hicks describes unconditional love as… regardless of the conditions, we remain connected to the love that we are. It is feeling good, feeling the love that we are, regardless of what event, tragedy, or horrific thing is going on around us.

And how do we get into that state of love? We look around for anything that can make us feel good. We look for any excuse to feel good.

So what can help us feel good now?

Have you texted “Haiti” to 90999 (Red Cross) yet? Now that feels really good, huh? Knowing that there is a mass of people that can so easily and effortlessly chip in is pretty freaking cool. Money is energy. When we put our energy into healing efforts it feels good.

Or you can text the word “HAITI” to 52000 to automatically give $10 to The Salvation Army’s relief efforts.

Imagine how it would feel to hold a prayer in your heart for those in Haiti that is of their recovery and health, as if it has already happened. This is different than “praying for” them in a way that “asks” for their healing. Instead it is praying in joy and gratitude for the healing that has already happened in your mind. How does that feel?

I’ve been fortunate to know many people who have experienced tragedy and triumph of the tornado that wiped out Greensburg, Kansas. That story feels really good.

And of course there’s always the chance to look into a child’s eyes and feel instant love.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your suggestions and comments about all of this. Any advice of how we can feel good would be so appreciated.
