Conscious Awareness: The Trinity of Trouble

Fear, Doubt and Worry: Are the enemies of every deeply held dream, of every good intention made, of each vision we hold for ourselves that has not yet become our reality. Who among us has not succumbed at some time to this invisible trinity of trouble?

In this brave new world we are facing today, with climatic, political and economic chaos all around, it can be the most natural thing in the world to give in to these feelings of fear, doubt and worry. It can seem impossible not let this trinity of trouble have its full head of power in our lives.

• Our minds can be our dearest friend and our worst enemy. As we go about our daily business, the mind can fill our heads and our hearts with doubts about our deservedness to receive that which we intend for ourselves.

• Thoughts around our ability to pull off such a task, doubts around the resources we need becoming available or fear of failure (or success) can dull our energy, causing us to stumble in our progress towards that which will undoubtedly come to us if we just hold firmly to our vision and commitment to it.

Everywhere we look right now we see trouble, confusion, dissent, aggression, pain and suffering – even the Earth seems hell bent on making our lives more difficult with drought, flood, storms and the threat of earthquake and eruption being reported by the media on a constant basis. No wonder people are feeling shaken.

When you become a being of Conscious Awareness you know too that for each event in our lives there is a balancing energy present. We may have to seek it out but we know without a doubt that it is there. The media don’t pick it up because it’s often not dramatic enough, people don’t gossip about it very often because its not ‘gut wrenching’ or gritty enough but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

The internet is full of stories (true or imagined) of great feats of kindness, of loving actions, of small miracles.

These stories spread across the net of our existence with fire like rapidity, filling a need for access to this energy of kindness, love, gratitude and hope. But this is merely a scratch upon the surface of the reality of which I speak. You can find your own sources to use as an antidote to fear, doubt and worry and when you discover them for yourself you can cultivate them, share them and plant the seeds of Love, Gratitude, Kindness and Hope in the lives of others.

Ways to discover and then cultivate these balancing forces in your life and then spread them throughout your family, friends, community and ultimately across our entire planet are many, however I can recommend meditation as a way to find the space to allow the seeds of Love, Gratitude, Kindness and Hope to germinate within you.

• My personal efforts include meditation, being in nature, gardening – especially growing my own food organically and in harmony with the Earth.
• Writing this blog and many other articles, writing another blog bringing awareness around living an Alternative Lifestyle to the one being pushed to us by media and business interests which don’t have my best interests at heart.
• Learning Yoga,
• Doing one unnecessary, unexpected act of kindness for someone each and every day,

It’s not always easy, I sometimes forget who I really am and begin the slide down into helplessness and fear. But I am surrounded by resources and sources of inspiration, hope and love are sitting on my bookcase waiting to inspire me, they are on the end of the telephone listening with Love to my voice and they are held in the hearts of many of the people who surround me if I only reach out and connect with them.

I reach out to you with Love, Kindness, Gratitude and Hope as an antidote to our current world situation. Cultivate these seeds of companionship as you would a precious plant and then share them with all you encounter.
