Tidepool Transformations

Upon entering the hushed room, she began sobbing. She began wailing and emotionally releasing so much anger, sadness, disgust, devastation and empathy. Her heart wept, and everyone nearby came up to hold her through her grieving. For the next hour, she was held by an entire room of friends and allies, as she processed her grief through tears, weeping into a bowl filled with crystals. Her allies came and held her body, laid their body next to hers, simply to hold her through the intense release of energy. Today was a day like any other, but for her it was a day of transformation. A day of grieving and working through her deep subconscious emotional body, to process and clear her emotional energy body, to allow for a greater level of clarity to open.

In the wake of her grieving, as I sat and held space surrounded by a half dozen allies holding space in silence through her weeping convulsions, I had a realization. In moments such as these, it seems as though the most subtle of actions can have a reaction in someone else’s emotional energetic process. In certain moments, as I went into deep meditation and simultaneously elevated both a fork full of food, and a vision of her bright eyed face in my vision, she began another wave of weeping. In certain moments, it’s possible to feel an invisible psychic thread weaving one unrelated event – the event of a fork moving through the air, with the event of her emotional body releasing. The timing; simultaneous – and as the fork lifted, a bunch of sage was burnt and released into the room.

I sit here, in New York City, in the capital of the American financial industry, in one of the crucial centers of wealth and global imperialism, looking through the internet at the wreckage of the earthquake, in one of the many historically impoverished nations in this world. And I wonder, why are the the places that are the most in need, the places where the people have so much to lose because they had so little to begin with, the places where the poverty is so high, why are these places continually targeted by natural disasters? The last several major disasters that come to my mind were all regions where many numbers of impoverished people lived…. Haiti, New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina, the SE Asian Tsunami, the Hurricane in Guatemala………… (letting out a deep, sad sigh….)

Why, why why?
