271: Why This Is The Most Important Time To Find Your Light with Sahara Rose

Namaste, it's Sahara Rose. And welcome back to the Highest Self podcast, a place where we discuss what makes you your soul's highest evolvement. We are feeling all the feels. It has been a crazy couple of weeks. There's not a person on the planet that hasn't experienced this. We have seen all of our shadows coming to surface. All of the fears that we have had that have really probably been there all along have come to surface to be looked at eye to eye. It might be the fear of dying alone. It might be the fear of losing a parent. It might be the fear of not having enough money or enough food or enough supplies. Fear of being alone. Fear of never living your purpose, Fear of losing your job. All of these fears have come to surface and there's not a person on this planet that has escaped it. I know for myself, it has been a roller coaster. There have been moments that I have felt so good and there have been moments that I have felt so low, especially finding out that close family members of mine have tested out as positive to the virus. So I wanted to share in this episode why now? It is more important than ever to keep our energy high, to keep our vibrations high, to stay in the light. Now I know from a place of just deep sadness and despair, it feels so far away to be able to do something like dance or something like paint or something like walking in nature. It feels like I can't even get to that point. But the thing is, it's just like working out, right? We never wake up in the morning and see ourselves doing burpees. We warm up, we maybe we just roll around our neck. And then from there we start to twist our back and we see that we have all these aches and pains and we slowly start to release them. And as we release them, the energy builds up, the momentum builds up. And then maybe your first couple jumping jacks are hard, but you're feeling your should release. And then by the end of the workout, you feel so good you might not even want to stop. So this is really what doing any practice to allow you to come into the light feels like you know, a couple days ago for me, you know, when all of this stuff really hit me, a lot of my shadows, of losing my dad, of, you know, all of these different things really came to surface. I had to at that moment realize I need to do something to change my state. Otherwise I'm going to remain here. So for me, that started with just playing some music that I liked and lying on the floor and Then from lying on the floor, I started to naturally breathe. And then from breathing, I started to move my hips. And then from moving my hips, I started to want to dance. And then from there it became a full on solo dance party, which allowed me to let go of so much of the pain and the trauma and the tension that I was holding onto. So I definitely did not want to dance. I didn't even think I was capable of dancing. I felt so far away from that joy and vibrancy of dance. But I brought myself there and this is the opportunity that we all have right now. You know, most of us are not jumping out of bed feeling in complete joy at this time. Most of us are super unsure, which creates anxiety, which creates fear. We're all feeling it, but you staying in it is not helping anyone. And it's really not even helping yourself. Of course, we are humans. Of course we deal with different emotions. Of course it's important to go into them. But once we go into them, we must also find our way out of them. We must learn to become a channel for our emotions. Most of us are moats. We have the emotion come and it sits with us forever, and it stays. And the waters become stagnant. When really we are meant to be channels for, for our emotions, they come through us. We feel the fear, but it doesn't stay with us. We feel the anxiety, but it doesn't stay with us. We keep the energy moving, and how we keep it moving is we begin to choose a better thought. As Abraham Hicks says, you know, what is the thing that you could do right now that would make you feel a little bit better? You know, maybe it's calling a friend, maybe it's using your Oracle cards, maybe it's doing some breath work. But at first, you're not going to want to do any of those things because you're feeling so low. But as soon as you grab for them from there, you're going to be grabbing for something else, and then for something else and for something else. And you'll keep getting higher and higher and higher and higher. We can look for a million things to be scared about. We will never run out of the options. But right now, this pandemic of fear has been more deadly than the actual pandemic in itself, because fear kills. Fear lowers your immune system. Fear disconnects you from your body, from your truth, from what's before you, from all of the things that are going right in your life. Our brains, our reptilian brains, are essentially wired to so focus on the fear, because the fear is, you know, potentially related to our survival. For example, in, throughout history, if we were not afraid of the lion or the tiger, we could have been eaten by it. So fear makes sense. There's a reason why fear is here. I'm not telling you, become fearless. Go walk outside. I am not telling you that at all. I'm telling you, of course, take precautions. I'm on like my 10th day of my quarantine at this point. But what I'm asking you to do is to notice. Is this fear warranted right now? You know, there's a difference between acute fear and long standing fear. I don't know what's the scientific term for that, but the acute fear is like that fear in the moment, the running away from the tiger, you experience an increase in your adrenaline and essentially you get the energy that you need to run away from the situation. And that's not the fear that actually really harms you. The fear that harms with you is the chronic, the chronic fear, the chronic stress. So that's the constantly living in this point of tension, this point of, oh my God, I'm not okay, I'm not safe. And what this does, over time, it deteriorates your immune system. So it actually makes you more susceptible to the very thing that you are afraid of. So, yes, there absolutely is a virus out there. Yes, absolutely. People are getting it and people are dying and people are suffering. And 7 billion people right now are suffering from the virus of fear. This virus is hurting them, it is causing them to be sicker than ever before. And we get the opportunity each and every day to bring ourselves out of that state. And it is a practice, it is work. It takes showing up, it takes, you know, for me, it's every day at 1pm, I'm doing these Instagram live dances where I'm inviting you guys to come dance with me. No matter what's going on, the moment you start dancing, you start feeling more joy in your body. And then suddenly you don't remember that article you read on CNN or what's happening with your uncle or this or that. From that state, you can then show up better in all areas of your life. You know, some people might say, well, now is not the time for dancing. Now is actually what dancing is for. We don't just dance to celebrate, but we dance to heal. And to me, that is actually the most significant aspect of dancing. Because when we dance, we're completely in the present moment. We're not remembering what happened. We're not future Tripping. All we are doing is being in our bodies in this moment. And if there's anything that the coronavirus is teaching us, it's how disconnected we are with Earth. Because we can see now, in just the weeks of this virus, with factories and travel and pollution slowing down, that we're seeing clear skies in China and we're seeing less pollution than ever before. And there are estimates that about 150,000 less people in China will die of pollutant related diseases because of the decrease in pollution related to coronavirus. So, yes, people are dying of coronavirus and more people are being saved by the lack of pollution. So do you see that there is always a silver lining. There is always a higher purpose. If there's any, anything that we can trust about spirituality, it is that we are always guided and always protected. Especially at the moments that we feel like we are not. Right now, we are in, you know, a huge shift like I talked about on last week's solo cast. We are in the most transformative shift that has happened to humankind in our lifetime. And it's scary and it's triggering and it's unknown. And this is the time that we get to have faith. This is the time that we get to trust that we are protected. This is the time that we take spiritual inventory of what's going on inside of us and that we choose a better thought. We show up and dance, even if we don't want to, knowing that we'll feel better after we dance. For all of the people who cannot dance right now, we breathe. For all of the people who cannot breathe right now. We create for all of the people who cannot right now. It is so much bigger than you, but is the energy that you are putting out into the world. You know, we've all said, oh, over there, I felt a bad vibe, or this house has bad vibes or good vibes. We are vibratory beings and we feel it. So right now more than ever is our opportunity to create positive vibrations, to use our bodies as the vehicle to spread that love. And especially because love feels so far away. That's why we must reach for it. We don't give up on love when we need it the most. It is when we need it the most that we devote ourselves to the practice of finding and finding again and again what will bring us back to love. Because if we don't, way more people will get sick. Way more people will suffer because the fear is crippling. The fear will make you get sick without even being exposed to anything. So if there's one thing you want to do to prevent yourself from getting the coronavirus, it's to get out of the fear. Find your medicine. Is it dancing? Is it breathwork? Is it oracle cards or tarot? Is it spending time with your animals? Is it gardening? Is it sewing? Is it watching romantic comedies on Netflix? Is it taking care of your plants? Is it writing your novel? Is it meditating? Find what works with you and what works with you. Every moment might be different. You know, there are some days that I'm like, woo. I got all the energy in the world. I can't wait to share this with other people. I feel so in the light. I want to bring other people up to this light. And there are other days that I'm like, oh my God, this is heavy, this is intense. What's going to happen? And I am saying this as someone who is a huge advocate for being in the light, but I feel the waves too. No one is immune to it. And I come back to my practice. I come back to showing up. I come back to my mat. I come back to my movement. I come back to my breath because I know if I don't have these things, these anchors that keep me sane. I don't dance because I'm happy. I'm happy because I dance. And we don't know where this journey will take us. We don't know what's going to happen next week. LA is on a complete lockdown at this point. We don't know how long this is going to be for. And we will drive ourselves crazy trying to figure it out. We'll drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out all of the theories out there, whether they're conspiracy or truth, we'll never know. We're not meant to. All we're meant to do is figure out what we can do at this time to bring us to a higher state. Because from that higher state we'll make better decisions. And from those decisions we'll align back into the light and there will be a trickle down effect that's as contagious as the virus, which is the virus of love. You know, there have been times that I have felt low and I talk to a friend who's in a higher state and that becomes contagious to me. I remember why this is happening for us. I remember what this is teaching us. And I reach that state again and there are times that some of my friends are in fear spirals and I'm in a higher state and I remind them to stay in the light. To stay anchored and continue to embody the sun. So we're all really here just supporting each other. Even though we are physically isolated, we are more spiritually unified than ever before. For the first time in our lifetimes and in modern history, truly or actually really ever, has the whole entire world been going through the same thing at the same time. You know, I just got an email from my sponsor daughter in Cambodia that her school is shut down. You know, the fact that I am experiencing the same thing that my sponsor daughter in Cambodia is experiencing, that this woman in Italy is experiencing, that this person in Nepal is experiencing, et cetera, is a huge unifier. And now we get to take this huge unifier of collective fear and turn it into collective love. It's time for us more than ever before to share that love. And yes, we will trigger people who don't feel it at that time. Yes, there will be people who will say, how can you be so positive? People are dying. Yes, there can be people who are so resistant to your light because at that moment they have a hard time finding their own. We don't get triggered by them, we don't get mad at them. We have compassion because at a certain point we were that person next to someone else. And it's going to be this great shuffle dance that we all shift. And sometimes I'm up here and you're over there, and we keep moving and we find our place and we find what works and we find what practices continue to bring us up. A huge opportunity that this sacred universal pause is giving us right now is to really take that time to find what practices are work for us. It has been so inspiring to see all of my friends and teachers and facilitators offering their medicine for free right now. Whether it is through breath work, whether it is through pranayama, whether it is through meditation or financial advice or business advice or whatever it is that comes naturally for them, they are offering. So this is your time to dabble. If you don't know what is that thing that brings you up right now, this is your chance to try. And I can guarantee you they'll all actually bring you up in different ways. And some practices might be more resonant with what you need right now, and others may be for a different part of your journey. One thing that I think everyone needs right now is to get back into their bodies because there is so much psychic noise going around related to this fear, related to 5G, related to the shift. And if we don't anchor back into our bodies, we Will go crazy. If I didn't dance and, you know, have my practice, I would go insane. You know, I do it to stay sane, y'. All. So it's so important right now for us to get back into our bodies. It might be Pilates or yoga. It might just be holding onto your belly and feeling it rise and fall as you breathe. It might be placing your hands on your heart as you meditate. It might be jumping up and down. It might be shaking, it might be rolling. It might be being sensual. It might be being playful. Whatever brings you into your body at this moment, let your body move you. Because when our body moves us, we have to be present. There's no other choice but to feel present. We can't go off in the stories and the this and the that when we're connected to our physical vessels. So this is your call right now to get back into your body. There are so many incredible workouts available for you on YouTube. There are so many people doing free IG lives again. I'm doing IG lives every single day of dances on my story at 1pm Pacific Standard Time. But please, get into your body and shake, release, let go of what is not serving you. Because I guarantee you, there are a lot of empaths, any empaths out here? Yeah, we're feeling it. So there are a lot of us that are not only feeling our own stuff, but other people's stuff. And also fear is contagious. It's a domino effect. So when one person kind of fear vomits on us and shares all of the fears that they have and how sad they are or the conspiracies that they believe in, et cetera. Again, it is valid and it can take us into that state too. If we're not doing our practices and then we want to text five people, we know that they're going to cut off our Internet and this and that and whatever the story was, and then that's going to be the thing that we begin spreading around like rapid fire when instead, it should be our light, it should be our love. We should be so fusing with love, oozing with love, that we want to text five people just how beautiful it is that the sun has risen today. How beautiful this opportunity has been to show us what really matters, how more connected we feel to strangers than ever before, and how we know that through this breakdown will be huge breakthroughs, that our planet will never be the same. And we don't know what the exact shifts are, but I guarantee you is bringing us into the light. Because I believe that everything happens for us and I believe that everything even happens through us. I believe that we were a part of what is happening right now. That all of the times that we have begged and said, I wish I have more time at home. I wish I had more time to cook. I wish I had more time with my kids. I wish I had more time in X. Yeah Y, Z. Eventually the universe granted us our wish. Maybe it's definitely. It's not the situation that we want. But if you are healthy and you are safe, then take this as your opportunity to have a staycation. Take this as your opportunity to finally do the things that you've been too busy to do. Be the person that you've been too busy to be. If you are healthy and able bodied, there is a reason why. Because you are meant to show up and share your medicine to heal others. Because we need you more than ever before. Because there are many people getting sick both with the disease and both with the fear. And we need you aligned into the light to see those people have complete compassion for what they're feeling. And choosing not to give into that same story. The story of lack, the story of scarcity, the story of not enoughness. Because there is a lot of that story happening and the mainstream media is choosing to focus on that story. Because by the way guys, guess how they get paid? Your clicks. So if all I share as a news channel is that there isn't enough food and there's not enough toilet paper and there's not enough xyz, guess what's gonna happen? Everyone's gonna go to the grocery store and buy the those exact things. We create the paradigm. What we see on tv, we then mirror. So if the media wasn't showing a lack of toilet paper, we wouldn't have had everyone rush to the store and buy more toilet paper. The showing that mirrored the response. So we get the opportunity right now to be our own mirrors. To shine our mirrors at our highest selves and see what would she or he do right now? What would my highest self do? Wwssd. You know, that's the new thing. What would my highest self do right now? Would my highest self go down this fear spiral with this person? Or would my highest self be like, honey, I see you and I know it's scary and we're gonna get through this and it's gonna be okay. And I don't have the answers, but I know today is a sunny day and we're meant to celebrate. You choose. Because life is always Going to be uncertain. This isn't the first time. Did you think your life was certain before? Because it wasn't. It never has been. Every time you've walked outside your house, every time you've gone into an airplane, every time you've ate of food, there's always a potential for risk. There's always a potential for something bad to happen that's always been there. Finally, now we are able to see how fragile this life is. How nothing is guaranteed. Truly nothing. This opportunity has actually just made us more aware of it. So how are you with the unknown? Are you trying to hold onto a reality that has actually never existed in the first place and now you're just aware of that? Or are you dancing with the unknown? Are you giving your full trust in the universe, saying that anything that is supposed to happen will happen? And I'm committed to anchoring myself into the light because I know my light is my greatest protection. I know me in a high vibrational state is the ultimate vitamin C that I can have. I know that if I want to enhance my immunity, yes, I'll take the oil of oregano and the colloidal silver, and I'll find whatever the fuck it is that puts a smile on my face, especially after I've been crying. You're allowed to have multiple emotions at the same time. You're allowed to be laughing and also have some fear underneath it all. In fact, we always do. The truth is, as humans, we are always feeling all of the things. There's a part of us that's enjoying the moment while there's a part of us that's nostalgic for the fact that it is ending. Finally, now we're able to be aware of that. We're able to see what our true fears really are. Fear of death, fear of the unknown, fear of uncertainty, fear of other people. And now we can fully go into them. What is the worst that could happen? The worst that can happen is we all will die one day. We all will die. If this is news for you, I'm sorry. We're all going to die one day. So instead of panicking and spending the end of our life panicking about a guaranteed inevitability. My Grandmother died yesterday. 94 years old. Of course I knew she was going to die. And I wish that she got to live more of her life. So are we going to choose to wait until we die and look back on our lives and saying, I wish I spent more of my time focused on love, focused on what feels good, focused on creating My own light instead of being mad at other people for being in theirs. What do you want to spend your time with? Because we're all going to die. Who knows? Maybe this is the end for all of us. I don't think so. But who knows? Knows. I don't know. No one knows. So how do you want to spend your time right now? I want to spend mine in creation. I want to spend mine in love. I want to spend mine in movement. I want to spend mine in flow. I want to spend mine in beauty. I don't want to spend it on cnn. Yes, our minds want to know the facts, but the facts are ever changing. The facts aren't really facts. The only fact that it is a fact is that you get to choose. You get to choose your story, and you get to choose your state. And that is regardless of what is happening to your body. There are people with cancer who are still choosing love. There are people who have lost their jobs, who are still looking at the silver lining. It's not about your circumstances, but it's how you look at them. Again, I have immediate family members who have the coronavirus. I am not speaking from a place of complete dissociation from it. And I am choosing to be committed to the Light because that is the only reason why I'm here. So I want to share this with you because I feel like a lot of us have felt guilty about being in the Light. A lot of us have felt like. Well, because there's a lot of turmoil and death happening. Am I allowed to be happy? And I want to say that not only are you allowed to, but it is the only thing that will change the situation. Your happiness is the medicine that the world needs. Your happiness from an energetic level, uplifts the vibration of the planet, and from a literal level, is contagious to everyone that you interact with. Every text message that you send, everything that you post on social media, which has a ripple effect upon thousands and thousands of people. So if you care about helping others or if you care about helping yourself, choose to come back to what makes you happy, Especially when it feels far away. This is your dharma. This is your homework. This is the big mission that we've been granted right now. How can we, regardless of what is happening in the world around us, create our own vibrational state from within? This is what has allowed the Tibetan monks, who are literally being tear gassed by the Chinese government, to stay in meditation in that process. This is how the single mother who's dealing with divorce, who has three kids and doesn't know how she's going to take care of them. Continues to make funny voices and play cartoons with them and have a birthday cake for them, even though she doesn't even know where she's going to get her electricity bill from. You don't have to have a perfect life to be happy. But I guarantee you, if you want your life to be closer to your version of perfection, you start with choosing happiness. This is our mission right now. We are here to raise the vibration of the planet in every which way. We are here to be so mindful of our words, because our words can be poison or can be medicine, depending on the state that we are in. And you can't help it. Whatever state you are in is the state that your words are gonna come out. You can't fake that shit. You know, when you get a text, you're like, I know something's going on. You can't fake that shit even on a text. So what is it that's going to make you happy right now? Is it taking a walk? If you're somewhere that you're able to walk outside? Is it calling your mom? Is it reorganizing your closet? Is it writing in your journal? This is your greatest form of spiritual activism at this time. So I encourage you to honor it. Honor it like you would a CDC statement. Right? This is really what they want us to do. And I agree. Don't stress, don't panic. I know, easier said than done. But just choose again. Choose the higher Vibe thought. Choose the higher vibe activity. Every single day, I'm dancing at 1pm If I wasn't doing it at 1pm, I probably wouldn't be dancing every day. So I'm so grateful that I've set myself up to dance on Instagram Live every single day. Because no matter what I'm feeling, I'm gonna show up for that. So maybe you create something that you start to show up for. Maybe every day you're going to go on your Instagram or Facebook and share something that you love. Maybe it's a poem or maybe it's some cool gardening tips or whatever it is that you really love to share. Maybe it's with your kids, maybe you call someone, maybe you do a zoom call with some friends. But I think having something that we show up for, that we serve other people, is the ultimate way that we're going to show up for it. So it could be micro or macro. You don't need a big audience. Even if you can help one person, you're doing your job. So I just wanted to send my love at this time. I know the journey has been challenging and has been confronting and it has been extremely enlightening for all of us. We get to trust that we are protected. We get to trust that no matter what happens, it is exactly as it is meant to be. We are going to take precautions. We are going to have one foot in the 3D, one foot in the 5D, and we're going to choose to stay in the light because that is why we're here as sun workers. We're here to embody the sun. We're here to share warmth and love and livelihood and community and possibility for everyone who are raised touch. So keep being that sun that you are by first finding that sun within yourself and then naturally you will be beaming it out and allowing other people to remember the sun that exists inside of them too. Thank you so much for being on the sacred journey with me, for being on this planet with me, for incarnating at this pivotal time in human history with me. We chose this for a reason. We are ready for it. This is the initiation that we signed up for. And now it is time for us to shine our lights. If you haven't checked out last week's solo cast all about why the coronavirus is our greatest opportunity for global awakening, be sure to listen to that after this episode. It was two episodes three episodes ago. Episode 269, episode 270 I did with Dr. Jess, who's an incredible doctor and friend of mine. We really go deep into what the coronavirus is all about, etc. So I really want to be supporting you with both scientific information as well as spiritual downloads to support you again on all dimensions because we are humans living this experience and souls living in human bodies. So take care of yourselves. Love yourselves. Join me on Instagram Live every single day at 1pm we have a hashtag going, hashtag dance your goddess. Take a video of yourself dancing. Any kind of music you want. Use hashtag dance your goddess. Tag me at I am Sahara Rose. I will share it. I will celebrate with you. I will dance with you. And this is how we heal. You know, after the Rwandan genocide, when after everything settled, the US government sent the top psychologists and psychiatrists to work with the people of Rwanda who have been so affected. PTSD after seeing this horrific genocide and after a couple days, the people of the village, they came and they said, oh no, I think you sent us the wrong people. The government's like, what are you talking about? We sent you the Top psychologists and psychiatrists, they're like, no, no, no, no, no. The people you sent us took us away from the village, put us into a dark room, and then had us sit down and keep talking about the problem. The US Government's like, yeah, that's what we do. It's called psychology. And the people of Rwanda said, no, no, no. In Rwanda, the way that we heal is that we gather with our community in circle and we sing and we dance and we drum under the sun. We don't separate ourselves and keep talking about the problem. No, no, no. That would drive us mad. We focus on the light. So this is my invitation for all of you to gather in virtual circle with your friends, with your family, with me, and dance. Dance for the known, dance for the unknown. Dance for it all. We've been dancing since the beginning of time. This is how we've healed. If you look at any animal after they go through a fight, they shake it out. And that shake actually resets their nervous system and removes the nervous energy from our bodies. When is the last time you had a good shake? We're holding onto so much. So much tension, so much trauma, so much uncertainties. So we get to do our part to restore our vessels and just dance it out. Thank you so much for being on this journey with me. I love you.
