Hello, Hello, Hello. Good morning, Kim. Morning, Jill. Morning, everyone. Monday morning. Morning, everyone. Wow, we're starting us strong today. What is our message today?
Oh, okay. Flashing lights, right? Oh, coming. Coming to me. Flashing lights. And I see flashy lights all over the place. Every different sort of kind. I see like railroad tracks. I see like ambulances, cops, flashing lights. Then I’m also getting pulled back to when I was really young. I go to a roller skating place. I still have a strobe light, like fat flashing lights. Again, like all different forms of flashing lights in my head right now.
And I'm asking why the flashing lights and attention? We use them to get people's attention most of the time. So they're pulling me to your fire trucks or ambulances. You know, those types of things. They're like, yes, we pull them to get your attention. But in this sense, it's about— they're like, this time it's about your attention.
And in my head I'm saying, you just said that. But why is this one different than that attention? And they're sitting with it. It's like they got into a very calm state. This is interesting.
Okay, okay. Some of you— oh, okay— some of you get very disturbed with the lights flashing. Now they're pulling me to the strobe type light or any sort of light. You get distracted; you get fearful. Some of you may even create seizures; your brain may seize up with the flashing of lights or you might get fearful of flashing lights.
So today they want you to play with the idea, the concept of flashing lights in front of you—what that brings up within yourself. The flashing lights are only meant to give you attention, to bring you to awareness of something that is happening. It's not meant to be triggering fear.
But a lot of you are associating with fear or worry or stress. I see everybody's adrenal glands going crazy. And then you start to worry; you start to panic: Something wrong? Is that my loved ones or is this happening to me? I've actually seen people go into pseudo seizures over just a light flicker on a TV.
That is stress; that is an imbalance within your body—whether it's physically, emotionally, or mentally. We're not going into that right now—but they're like, that is a stress; that is not the light causing the culprit of your stress.
So if any of you are feeling annoyed or fearful with lights flashing or if you get some of those pseudo seizures—we're not talking about epilepsy here—we are talking about the stress seizures. There is a difference yes.
This is another thing that can tell you that the body is under stress. So what are you going to do about it? You're going to take it to your actions and say, oh, the light is trying to give me a message. Okay, I'm going to follow the light—the light within.
Let's try to get your light to open up: Attention! Attention! Attention! And for me, the flashing lights—to me—are funny and then like the rest; you know, the message is beautiful and yet it keeps filtering through me something I heard this morning about how our learning to pay attention to our body in the sense of—like put your attention say on your breath for 11 minutes while you're doing other stuff—or put your attention on your heartbeat—you know—or I don't know—maybe have some sensation in your left toe.
Yep! But it's the same; it really is the same message at its core: It's about bringing attention to your body.
Some people—it sounds like—maybe highly kind of distracted or highly irritated more externally—which is where I think I once was big time. I would say I was big time externally—like irritated by all sorts of stuff—and I didn't want to be irritated—but like lights would bother me—that's what I mean by irritated—you know? Yep! Sounds? Whatever!
And now it's just—to me—it’s very interesting and that the message more filtered into me of like inside of me and my own body—not what's coming at me.
So whichever way it lands off—it filters through anyone who's listening to this a different way—run with that! Yep! Yep! Tension is powerful though too—very—it is powerful!
Yep! All right awesome! Thank you everyone! Thank you Jill! Yes! Thank you Kim and have a wonderful day! Until next time!
