The Gift of Anxiety
And what it can lead to
Anxiety is something that happens when we suddenly feel disconnected from the Universe, from our Source. We can deep-dive into that anxiety or we can see it as a message to reconnect to that love that flows through us AT ALL TIMES from the Universe, from our Source. We can drown in anxiety or see it as a gift, a red flag, an indication of our disconnection.
I have never known anyone who is totally anxiety-free. Have you? I am most certainly not anxiety-free. But I don’t get sucked into anxiety as easily as I used to. I have lived a lifetime of anxiety and recently I got tired of it. I got tired of getting the same message — and all anxiety comes with a message.
Anxiety is a guidance system. We have body anxiety, mental anxiety, emotional anxiety, and even spiritual anxiety. Every time it is a message to get back into the flow of love; the energy that keeps us alive and flowing. And the way to get back in that flow is through surrender.
Anxiety makes us scared to death of surrender. Unconditional love transforms all things and anything that keeps us from surrendering to it is a condition that keeps it from being unconditional. Our minds and emotions and bodies have an endless list of conditions that keep us from surrendering. There are endless reasons to not let go of anxiety, the chief of which is fear.
Anxiety shows us our fears so that we can walk through them. The greater our anxiety, the greater the fear is that blocks our surrender.
Can anxiety be a good thing? Can it help us evolve? Can it help us go beyond everything that blocks our personal path?
I guess it all depends on how we look at it. Is it a tool to help us identify our fears so that we can move through them? Or is it something that traps us and prevents us from moving through our fears?
Does our anxiety lessen or grow as we get older? Do we surrender more easily than we have in the past? Is it impossible to surrender as long as we hold on to anxiety without seeing what it is trying to show us? Is anxiety about death the ultimate anxiety? Is that showing us our resistance to surrendering to life?
Do we ever express gratitude for our anxiety? Or do we curse it? Can our anxiety be transformed by unconditional love? Is it an opportunity to do so? Can it be a gift? And how can our life situation change by seeing it as such?
