It is such a beautiful day here – bright and sunny with a slight breeze!
If I was not teaching today, I would put my focus on relieving tension, and then go to the beach, sit by the water, and allow it to wash away the outside world.
But no matter how peaceful these kinds of locations can be, when you find yourself in a space filled with lots of other people, as you might at a crowded beach, it can be very stressful and challenging. People have their own personalities and their own agendas for themselves – and sometimes for you.
With that in mind, how does one maintain balance in the midst of this kind of chaos?
For me, it is very much like weathering a storm.
The answer I received this morning was, “Don’t take it so personally. Remember, that doesn’t mean not having healthy boundaries. But it does mean allowing others to do their own acting out. Allow it to complete itself and settle, and then address it with clarity, compassion, and honesty.”
That being said, if you’re wondering how to handle tense situations, or looking for ways to relieve tension, then you’re going to want to keep reading.
Because in this article, I’m going to explore several strategies that you can use when you’re trying to relieve tension in your life.
Relieving Tension in Tough Circumstances
During a tense situation, or for that matter, at any moment in time, there are many things you can do to relieve tension for yourself, and it’s good to know that even if you can’t get to a beach, or some other serene location, you still have options right where you are.
But that does not mean striking back at the person who was striking out at you.
Removing yourself from the situation would help. But if you can’t physically remove yourself, there are many other options for relieving tension, such as:
- Closing your eyes and taking a couple of deep breaths
- Reciting prayers to yourself
- Saying mantras to yourself
- Singing a song to yourself
One of my favorite things to do in these kinds of situations is to sing an old-timey religious song. I know it might sound funny, but it works for me.
Similarly, you can find your own perfect song, and it’s okay if that song changes with each particular situation.
But regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in, here are some other things you can do to relieve tension in your life:
- Listening to a guided meditation
- Going to the park or the beach
- Taking a walk while focusing on nature and the peace all around you
- Listening to peaceful, spiritual music
- Sitting in silence (this can help you to find any answers you may be seeking)
- Listening to harp music (I particularly enjoy listening to The Violet Flame by Joel Andrews)
Whatever you choose to do, taking some sort of positive action is a great way to relieve tension, and it always brings me great joy, and quickly changes my energy.
Because when you carry that joy in your heart, there won’t be room for pain of any kind.
Searching for Spiritual Guidance
Another great strategy for relieving tension, and one that is often forgotten about, is that we can ask for help.
Aside from our families and friends, there are hosts of angels and Ascended Masters waiting for us to call to them. I often ask Lord Lanto, Master of Divine Wisdom, to give me the right words to say to someone who is being challenged.
In other circumstances, I’ll ask Mother Mary for nurturing, St. Germain for transformation, and Lady Porta for justice, but I never cease to be amazed by the power we have access to by calling on these angelic and masterful beings.
It might sound strange, but if you open yourself up to divinity and connect with these divine helpers, you’ll be able to step into new levels of oneness, just as I’ve experienced.
At any rate, finding a teacher or mentor to guide you through this journey is also something you can do for yourself. The clearer you become in your own personal being, the clearer your life will become, and this can also improve your ability to stay centered while allowing others to remain in their own space of chaos.
Another empowering option that’s great for relieving tension is to work with someone who is advanced in their own spiritual work or has already gone through what you’re dealing with, accepted it, and moved beyond it.
That being said, although connecting with someone who is in the middle of the same thing you’re going through, such as a friend, can be a support system for you, it is doubtful that they’ll be able to show you the way through and lead you out the other side of it.
I can offer this kind of assistance, so feel free to reach out if you’d like, but please take some time to research and find someone you resonate with, whomever that may be.
The Power of Crystals
No matter where you may find yourself, there are many spiritual tools you can use to relieve tension, including everything from singing bowls and chanting to drumming and even crystals.
Personally, I love working with crystals, as I feel they have tremendous power. I love them so much, in fact, that I have been wire-wrapping crystals for over 20 years to create jewelry.
Originally, I taught myself, but I also went to school to refine my work and take my jewelry-making to the next level.
The most unique thing about my jewelry is how it relates to the Akashic Records.
For one thing, I allow the flow of love in the Akashic Records to guide my hands throughout the design process. It is truly amazing to experience the development of each and every piece as they seem to just appear right before my eyes!
At the same time, each piece has a very specific energy and is meant for a very specific person, and it’s all about making the connection that will best assist you.
I find when a person is drawn to a piece, the stone tends to have properties that will assist the person with what is going on in their life, and this is why I also offer a 15-minute Akashic Records consultation to go along with each piece.
If you’re so inclined, please visit the White Tigress Vibrant Jewelry website, choose a piece that speaks to you, and then we can connect so I can explain exactly what the piece can do for you and your life.
And if you’re in need of any kind of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Much love to all,
Rose Marie Swanson
