Uplift: From Pole to Pole in happy hues.

To uplift: A morally or spiritually elevating influence or simply the act of raising someone/something. Do you agree that mindfulness, awareness, and intentionality play an impactful role in our interactions with others? It's a practice to be mindful of how our actions can affect someone or something. At times we may be oblivious to how we leave an imprint, this is sometimes OK. Sometimes it was meant to happen no other way. We should learn from these experiences however, if the results have detrimental effects. It's a practice to do our best in our new found awareness each day. Mindfulness and intentionality to uplift can be a challenge, but also rewarding and strengthening in any interaction. Even with the best intentions though, we sometimes truly have no control of how things will shift between situations, circumstances and relationships with others.

We can only do our best to be positive with the people and environments we are in. However, our best intentions are not always perceived as uplifting, they may be hurtful and triggering somehow. It may also be uncomfortably frightening, but also necessary for the evolutionary change we will ultimately experience as a result of a helpful or what may seem an unhelpful uplifting nudge.

On our journey through life, we seem to meet individuals that from the moment paths are crossed, it is mutually and instinctively agreed on that it's for a higher purpose. That purpose may be unclear at first, even if it's momentary. They can bring joy and happiness, individuals who uplift us in a very obvious way. These same people, yourself included, can also stir up uneasiness, shift or trigger unexpected, but necessary change for growth. Something rooted within our core that impacts the energetic motion of our evolving self on our journeys.

180° shift here:

PLATE TECTONICS. Let's connect mother nature with our daily lives for some perspective.

"The Earth is in a constant state of change. Earth’s crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates. The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth’s mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet’s interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift."

"When two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, often causing one plate to slide below the other (in a process known as subduction). The collision of tectonic plates can result in earthquakes, volcanoes, the formation of mountains, and other geological events." [1]

If earth is in a constant state of change, with moving, colliding and shifting plates, how is it that we are sometimes surprised by the changes we see in our own lives which also hover over the possibility of constant change? Certain events in our lives may feel like volcanoes erupting and earthquakes rumbling. Heaps of pain and uncertainty may overwhelm us, but perhaps our core is creating new floor. The removal of old crust, our concepts, beliefs or subduction zones to make space for new awareness. Many of these events are connected to changes to life circumstances and relationships.

This is no truer now than ever during the unforeseen changes in all of our lives right now. It's as though the core of mother nature, shifted the focus of all of our plans. Whatever happens to us internally, we can try to do our best to understand and advocate for ourselves and others. Arguably though, we must also let it be, for it is a natural uplifting, from our own inner cores potentially initiated by those who cross us on our journeys.

We are creating a new floor to stand strong on and releasing/sub-ducting that which no longer serves us. Painfully so perhaps, like the friction of the removal of the old crust, we may experience intolerable anguish, but remembering it's just temporary helps and also necessary for the new floor.

In these current times, there are many of us around the world experiencing pain and suffering in a multitude of ways. From the horrendous treatment and murders of the innocent by those sworn to protect us to hundreds of thousands of deaths of families on a global pandemic scale. We send our uplifting positive energy to those affected and vow to do our best to help shift the world around us to a better/safer place. By intentionally standing up on the side that is working to recreate the world we want for our future generations. As difficult as it may be to utter, perhaps these events are the results of "plates" clashing, setting the stage for something more than we can conceive at the moment, and mother nature is creating a new floor for us to find a balance. This new floor may be difficult and challenging to stand on, we may not even recognize it right away, but uplifting each other to the best of our abilities from pole to pole is answer to a safer future until we do.

Trusting that the future looks bright for us all...let's mindfully uplift each other the best we can always.

Discovering Balance Together.

Life in rosy happy hues...
