Dear Guides and Guardian Spirits, I’m feeling lost and a little scared about my recent inability to stay on top of the Neskaya administrative stuff. Please help me!
Dear Jenny, breathe, relax, you’re doing fine. This is a passage, and part of letting Neskaya go into other hands. You know what to do. It’s OK to ask for help. More meditation, yoga, and walking outdoors during the day will help. Taking care of yourself is first priority. You are not here to do the administrative work of running Neskaya. Nor are you here to keep the building clean. You are a visionary and an artist and your job is to be caretaker of the special energy here at Neskaya, of celebrating diversity, of inclusivity, of co-creativity. We support you in dropping the physical level part of the job and putting your effort and energy into the invisible energetic part of the job. We love you. Relax, dear, there is plenty of time to work this all out.
Dear Guides and Guardian Spirits, I’m feeling really discouraged about the state of the world. Please help me.
Dear Jenny, it’s important to keep on keeping on. You know this, and it has already strengthened your heart. We remind you that what you are already doing is enough: maintaining this healing sanctuary, supporting the practice of celebrating diversity, making creativity and Spirit the center of your life. Like the algae who helped re-balance the Living Machine, your doing what you do is an important part of the whole. It is not the whole job, but you can’t do the whole job. Doing your part is enough. Taking care of yourself, supporting yourself, so you can keep doing your part, is where you need to be putting your energy. Dear Jenny, we love you and we surround you with loving warmth. You are doing just fine.
