I\u2019m having a shakti crash after an eventful week. In this context, I define shakti as the life force energy as I experience it within my physical body. \u00a0When I say a shakti crash, I refer to what I experience as a result of an overload of sensory input. \u00a0 Much of my personal time is spent alone in silence and I am someone who likes a lot of empty space, a lot of room between my molecules. \u00a0I speak with dozens of people every day and can feel easily overloaded with voicing and listening. \u00a0I like a lot of thought time after an experience in order to fully grok it. \u00a0I like a lot of still time in between physical exertion times. \u00a0I like slow, easy, quiet time spent with friends appreciating The Now. \u00a0When I don\u2019t get the quiet downtime, like when I choose to instead hang with fun friends doing adventurous things for extended periods of time, afterwards I get what I call a shakti crash.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For me it can come 12-24 hours later, after I\u2019ve slept a little and gotten a few hours of quiet alone time. \u00a0 This morning my shakti crash come on suddenly about 1:00am followed closely by anxiety, all in time for my last phone session. \u00a0Or maybe because of it. \u00a0Whatever, it was a vibrational match.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m aware when<\/span>\u00a0I do readings<\/a>\u00a0for people, that much of what I think and feel may be coming from them. \u00a0When I feel anxiety, I am aware it is always a message, I just don\u2019t always know what it\u2019s a message about, nor who it\u2019s for if it appears in between phone sessions with clients, as it did last night. \u00a0It was Mother\u2019s Day, a day when a lot of pent up emotion is at play in our part of the world and we all get affected by it on some level via the global mental plane, or the collective unconscious. \u00a0Until the hour long session was finished, I did my best\u00a0to detach myself from the physical body that felt anxiety and physical exhaustion, and just do the work the body had scheduled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afterwards, I felt suddenly wiped out. \u00a0I\u2019ve heard others through the years say that doing readings with some people drains them, but I\u2019ve never experienced that. \u00a0I usually get enlivened by the exchange. \u00a0But last night I felt wiped out. \u00a0I jumped into the shower and then did 20 minutes of breathing through my heart to moderate the intense energy flow. It helped and I have been doing it off and on all day as the waves continue to move through me. \u00a0The anxiety is gone but the heart rate and panting comes back around every 30-45 minutes. \u00a0I feel arm and leg muscles suddenly all shaky and depleted like I\u2019ve been running and just need to catch my breath. \u00a0It\u2019s interesting to observe as a watcher. \u00a0 The times in between are getting longer, so I know when I breathe, it helps me integrate whatever is happening. \u00a0When I meditate, stretch and do yoga, I feel expanded afterward, and more able to contain who I Am.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows, maybe\u00a0<\/span> are giving me delayed reactions. \u00a0 Whatever it is, it feels splendid. \u00a0I\u2019m in an uplifted and fairly euphoric mood but I will be glad once it has moved through me so I can get back to working without interruption.<\/span><\/p>\n

7:15pm ET update (12 hours later) \u00a0My energy feels back to normal, I\u2019ve had a few catnaps and done the breathing through the heart chakra every hour. \u00a0I\u2019ve done yard work outside that made me use my muscles and work up a sweat. \u00a0I\u2019ve eaten lightly, some sauteed veggies on top of a salad, and drank a lot of water. \u00a0 I haven\u2019t had a spell of panting and palpitation\u00a0for a couple of hours. \u00a0Yay, I love that I recover so quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 24, 2012:\u00a0I attribute the anxiety of the shakti crash I am experiencing today to a few incidents last week where I was concerned with dear friends in health crises. \u00a0I let my mind run away with worry and I began believing it. \u00a0My wake up call was \u00a0Sunday when a close friend began having classic heart attack symptoms and we called 911. \u00a0 The paramedics \u00a0arrived just in time they said and he was transported to the emergency room. \u00a0I followed and hung with him while they did all the poking and prodding and gave him a ride home many hours later. Except for the almost dying part, it was fun once he was stabilized. \u00a0It was a powerfully bonding adventure to share, and an initiation of sorts. \u00a0There are no accidents when people come together and mix energy and mix karma with each other. \u00a0I love it when friends are aware of what\u2019s happening on a conscious and transcendant level and we can discuss what we\u2019re going through.<\/span><\/p>\n

I spent much time afterward contemplating my part in the co-creation of the day\u2019s events. \u00a0I did much soul searching and also did\u00a0<\/span>Dr. Lew\u2019s Ho\u2019oponopono Hawaiian Healing Process<\/a>\u00a0since the premise is:\u00a0if you are aware of something happening to anyone, you have a part in the creation of it simply by virtue of your awareness of it. \u00a0It is my experience that is true. \u00a0So, today is a keep myself breathed up day, to stabilize the shakti as it makes its way ever upward. \u00a0That\u2019s how I recover, that\u2019s how my molecules settle back into their natural restful pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n
