There are times when things get so tough, we wonder if we will get through it. It simply feels impossible!

It seems like there are no issues, solutions, or hope! The events may be sudden or gradually escalating and to us, incomprehensible.

The impasse can be concerning a relationship, the loss of someone, something meaningful, or of health nature.

I am often asked: “What should I do? I am in shock. I don’t think I can get through it or it will get better.”

And in the moment that is OK to think so.

So, what to do? And I will say, NOTHING for the moment.

You heard right.

At times, when all seems confused, upset, baffled, perplexed, puzzled, and basically THINGS are just not happening as we hoped, or at least thought. So we get stuck.

This is exactly what happened to a friend of mine. She worked real hard to prepare all-important details to make a significant move and a fresh start. Everything looked great. But when she finally got there, the expenses exceeded her goal, the car deal did not get through and a car was real important, ...
... the apartment was not ready as expected, a meaningful business relationship got sour and the list adds on. Overall, it was just too much all at once.

For a moment, the panic took over and nothing made sense.

She could not get in touch with me, but having worked with her, she remembered my saying that in those moments, all you can really do is sit with it. And that is exactly what she did.

She allowed all the emotions to be lived totally, all the thoughts to freely pass by in the mind and all the feelings to burn. She created a space to be silent or may I say to not intervene with all the blah blah…. After a short while, things calmed down and the feelings of uneasiness subsided. Then, she regained her strengths and courage to evaluate the situation and take the appropriate actions or not.

In moments of fear, guilt, anger, sadness, panic or any other emotions for that matter, our capacity to truly look at our needs and come up with clear solutions is temporarily fogged up.

That is why, I say, just sit and watch! Wait, and sit and watch. Wait long enough and you will see. Your mind and heart will clear up and you will be able to re-connect and naturally move on.

An appropriate essence for this type of experience would possibly be Millennium Journey since it deals with transitions and anxiety about changes.

Depending of the nature of what creates the emotions, you may also look at natural healing the Heart for relationships, Guilt and Forgiveness for decisions we make for ourselves and possibly disapproved by others, Life Embrace for feeling alone and depressed.
