Coping with Stress (Part One)
By Elaine Seiler
We all experience stress at one time or another – for most of us, far too often. It takes a toll on our bodies, our minds, and most of all, our energy. There are many “methods” of dealing with stress. But I believe the most efficient way to cope with everyday stress must start with a person perceiving it differently.
Let me introduce you to the world of energetics, the world of vibrations that make up everything in and around you. Neither your body, nor your environment, are solid; they are made up of rapidly moving molecules, dancing through space so quickly that you cannot see them. All of humankind has agreed to perceive these objects as solid; in truth they are not.
And now that we know this to be so, let’s deal with stress from this energetic viewpoint.
What causes our stress? Often, this time of year it is the many and fast-changing demands on our time, money, and energy. Winter has come to an end, spring is here – and suddenly our to-do list seems endless, and often costly. The closets need cleaning; the spring clothes must be located; the kids need new sneakers; you need to plan your partner’s birthday party, the car needs to be serviced, it’s time for dental and medical check-ups. The list goes on and on and you just can’t imagine how you are going to do it all, and in many cases, afford it all. Despite the improving weather outside, you feel overwhelmed and depressed.
What can you do? The answer is to shift gears, just the way you would shift gears in a car. Shift from a low gear to a high gear, shift from a low and limiting, negative state of vibration to one that is higher, lighter, more joyous and more fun. This is a state in which the feelings of frustration, depression, anger or self-judgment cannot exist.
Negative feelings like anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, and fear have low, slow, and heavy vibrations. Positive feelings like joy, happiness, fulfilment, laughter, hopefulness, harmony, and peace have high vibrations. When you shift from negative feelings to positive ones, the negative ones just disappear; they simply cannot exist in the vibrational field of the high vibrations. It is a bit like placing a cube of ice into a cup of hot water. The ice will not, and cannot, continue to exist; it melts and becomes one with the higher vibrations of the warm water. So, if you shift gears and slide into a state of higher vibration, you will feel less stress, and also feel as if magic is happening around you as everything around you shifts as well.
Now you understand the “why” of such an energetic shift, my next article will be to learn the “how”… How you can leave stress and angst behind and walk joyously into the future.
