The past few weeks I have been in a funk. I have eaten according to my mood — stuff I would not choose to eat. I have watched more Netflix in the past two weeks than in the past year. I am sleeping horribly. I am in a funk!
Then it snowed. Again. For like the 15th time this winter and I was stuck inside. My funk got worse and I yelled out the Spirit, “What is causing this funk?” I do not know what I expected. No voice yelled back at me. There was silence. I sat down on my couch defeated and closed my eyes. I sat there in silence.
Then I realized I had not sat in silence before the Sacred in weeks.
Oh, I had not sat in silence in weeks. So, I opened my eyes, turned and picked a SoulCard. I picked this woman who was standing in a prayer position. Red strands were going from Her up to Heaven above. Blue strands were flowing down from Heaven to Her, surrounding Her.
I do not think Spirit could have been clearer. I have been neglecting my spiritual self-care. My wellspring was dry. Hence the funk. That dialogue, that respect, that love, that grace, those blessings…all that I have experienced when I am connected to the Sacred was lacking. I was not taking the time to notice Spirit’s movement in my life; to send my love and respect to Spirit.
So, I took a retreat in my own apartment. I accepted the blessing of the snow days. I went deep into prayer. I sat in silence. I painted my prayer. I journaled. I journeyed. I reconnected!!
And guess what? My funk is dissipating. I have more energy. I am writing again. I am feeling like I want to care for myself better. I am out and about more. I am laughing and enjoying Spirit’s presence in my life.
It is important that we pay attention to our connection to the Sacred. It makes a huge difference in my day. I would guess in yours as well.
I invite you to be conscious of how you are connected to God. Make a conscious choice. Take the time YOU need to fill your wellspring. Watch what happens inside you and around you as a result of consciously connecting to the Sacred.
