\nDear Guides and Guardian Spirits, I\u2019m feeling pretty bleak.\u00a0 Please help me.
\nDear Jenny, we love you very much.\u00a0 You are feeling bad about yourself because you seem to get discouraged \u201cso easily\u201d.\u00a0 You are comparing yourself to someone who has a \u201cstrong and gay spirit\u201d who can \u201covercome\u201d the obstacles that you imagine are \u201cso petty\u201d.\u00a0 Dear, you fail to give yourself credit for how many wounds you have, how tenuous your foundation still is, how little support you receive from outside.\u00a0 For a highly sensitive person, who was traumatized in infancy, every day in this toxic culture is a struggle.\u00a0 To reaffirm your creativity in the teeth of those voices from childhood that say you are wicked and self-indulgent to spend time making art, is an ongoing struggle.\u00a0 You are too often in the position of the one who is pulling the others out of despondency – as you did yesterday, creating a good experience for your dancers.\u00a0 You had to carry the energy.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have enough experiences of someone else creating the container, choosing the activity, and carrying the energy.\u00a0 Dear One, you are an artist and a visionary, you are supposed to have a support team, not be spending energy trying to create one.\u00a0 Give yourself credit for all the hard work that you do, give yourself empathy for the visions that you are unable to bring to manifestation because you don\u2019t have enough support.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
