What's your vibe?

A year has passed since the initial COVID and lockdown news…and looking back on it - oh what a ride it has been! 

Some months have felt like years and in some way the year has felt like one long month… It felt like time had collapsed and folded in on itself, fast forwarding the feelings and motions, although the hand on our watches was still busy counting the seconds with the same consistency it has for years.

This year has made us question who we are, what we want and what we are doing here on this strange earth. And our theme for March could not be more apt in exploring how what we think, believe, say and do impacts on the world. 

What is your ripple effect?

Our Tel-Aviv chapter asked us to be brave and take the time to explore the depths of our world. To dare to plunge below the surface and invite deeper connection in.

We are quick to forget that one voice can inspire a movement, a single act of kindness can save a life and that no matter how minuscule it may seem in the moment, what you do matters.

In chaos theory, we also learn of the butterfly effect where a dependency on conditions that may change minutely can result in massive differences over time given a nonlinear system. 

Our world operates on simple rules of life but as we all know, our universe and its workings is all but linear and predictable. But for one thing. 

In all the chaos, we at least know this… when you make a move, the universe shifts - internally and externally.

We may not always know how to change the world and we might feel like we are small in our efforts and contributions but when you think of the quiet movements of Mother Theresa and the profound impact she made on the world, her famous quote shows she deeply believed in the ripple effect.

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

Next time you are taking a bath and releasing the chaos of the world. Breathe in and let a drop run down your finger and watch the ripple effect in the body of water you are immersed in… 

Breathe out and allow yourself to feel the comfort of being part of this wonderfully intricate body of water we call life. 

And then smile knowing that in just being your beautiful butterfly soul in that moment of gratitude, you are making massive moves in yourself that ripple along for all other energetic beings to feel.  

We can hear the Beach boys bopping to “Good good vibrations” reminding us that if we respect that place of power in ourselves, we will see positively powerful things start happening all around us.

Until next time… enjoy the vibes!
