How do we handle things when plans go awry?

About Weekly Alignments

Weekly Alignments offer tools to get you present with your Self in the now.

At the end of each weekly session, I do a live facilitation to help someone get clarity about or even overcome an issue in their life.

Weekly Alignments include a lot of channeled material coming from Source as I receive it in realtime, depending on questions and comments from the attendees present.

Today I saw a woman feeling frustrated with a small child crying. She was griping at him as he was crying.

I watched for a bit from a distance as she was like しょうがない！ママ 一人からしょうがない！(It’s too bad! I’m alone, so too bad!)

I sighed and walked away. I could hear him crying so I turned back, praying for some insight on how to help. I saw her riding the bicycle, but then she stopped and got off to engage the boy again. I found myself walking toward them.

I put my bag to one side and gently walked up to her. I put my hand between her and the child in his bicycle seat.

I invited her to breathe, and I just held her with my eyes. I reached out and held her hands for a bit. I hugged her and she seemed appreciative.

After about 30+ seconds of hug, I reached my hand back and gently touched the (coat sleeve) wrist of the boy, who was still crying.

After a bit, I held both of their hands at the same time, intending to act as an interface to help them reconnect.

I said in Japanese 私の日本語は下手ですけど、怒ってることを聞こえます。 (my Japanese is bad, but I can listen to your anger.) In English I said “I can handle it. He is very small.”

I gave her my card and invited her to bring her anger to me.

I hope I helped her reconnect with her goodness as a parent.

When out and about, I like to allow plenty of time between clients so I can be relaxed while in transit. Today I took it a step (ha) further by walking quite slowly.

After slowing myself down physically, I noticed a sense of peace come over me. An awareness of joyful awareness like a tautology of being happy because you’re happy.

Time lost its meaning as I simply walked step by step, aware of the surroundings like being there for the first time. I was practically on vacation on my way to work.

There’s so much to see! Each leaf on each tree has a story. Each brick on each wall is unique if you look closely enough.

Walking down a walkway I have been many (!) times before, I noticed something new that I hadn’t seen before.

Each shop has its own design (and they clash like wow)!

What happens for you when you walk slowly and breathe?
