Are We Safe?

This is a question that a client asked me a few weeks ago, at the end of her session.  “Are we safe?”  (I assume that she meant humanity as a whole.)  My response was “Of course!”  This is the explanation that I gave her.

Safety is strictly an internal attitude.   It has nothing to do with one’s external situation.  Certainly I acknowledge that there is such a thing as a “dangerous” situation that might generate feelings of fear, but that does not automatically mean that you are unsafe. 

Here are a few basic spiritual universal principals that I believe are true.    First of all, we always create our own reality.  100%!  Our reality is generated from within us, and may come from belief systems, traumas, early childhood issues, past life hold overs or genetic patterns.  That is why it behooves us to be vigilant as to what issues come up for us, and do our best to transcend those issues.  If awareness is not brought to them, they tend to repeat over and over. 

Years ago, I learned the phrase that said ”The universe rearranges itself to accommodate your version of reality”.  Offhand, I cannot remember where I heard this, but it is entirely true.  What we carry within us will always be reflected in some fashion in our outer world.  This is also a basic tenet of my healing practice.  I assist the client in shifting their inner map so that a new environment will appear surrounding them. 

Unfortunately with some world situations  as they are, and excess news reporting of numerous tragedies, fear based people are triggered into more fear, and are bound to feel unsafe, even if these events are not near them or do not involve them at all. 

Like attracts like.  What we have within us will attract the same without.  The person who feels unsafe has an internal issue about safety, and will manifest external situations reflecting that.  How about a person who is victimized over and over?  Is in multiple car accidents, or has their phone stolen several times.  These are not random events.  They are meant for that person, as it is a part of their life plan. These events are a heads up to the experiencer so that they can wake up and do something about the inner patterns that are generating them.

What about the “mirror” effect?  All of our life’s experiences are mirroring to us our inner state in some fashion.  If the same thing is shown to us over and over, that means that we have that inside of us, and it is time to do some work on what is out there that triggers us.  Currently, there are a multitude of situations going on in the world that we would deem as unsafe, but not everyone is aware or bothered by those situations.  If you are one of those who are triggered, I encourage you to go within first of all to try to resolve your feelings of being not safe.  Please do not expose yourself excessively to the news, as all of that information is slanted, and I dare say, to trigger your emotions.  Remember that the dark side feeds off of our fear, and you do not want to serve up a tasty meal for them! 

So to recap, some of you reading this may be in unsafe situations.  That does not necessarily mean that you feel unsafe.  For those of you who do, do some work around this.   Remember that safety is an internally generated state, and you can feel safe in the worst of situations!
