“But did you die?”
I won't sugarcoat it. We're feeling intense fatigue, coupled with the knowledge that stopping now is not remotely an option. Many of us are in a very intense initiatory death portal and we're being asked to double down right at the moment where we're not sure whether we have anything left in the tank.
This intensity may feel like pure brutality. It may feel like we're being punished, dragged unwillingly through our own trauma, and we may even be under very real psychic attack as energetic power structures shift on a systemic level and malevolent spirits scramble to find their next meal.
It's a big ask, but we have the opportunity to shift our perspective to the ways that we thrive under pressure. When we feel triggers, repressed emotions or spirit interference start to drag us down, we have the opportunity to slow down and see the alchemy that's being asked of us. We've done the work and we have the tools that allow us to stay grounded during those trials and even collect data on our own unique vulnerabilities.
This week feels like the type of workout that makes you truly question whether you're going to die. It makes us confront all of the ways that we want to externalize our pain, blame others or make excuses for why we can't do it. But we persist, and we find ourselves reborn on the other side.
