Episode 104

“Seeing and Understanding the Role of Chaos”.

Chaos is part of life on a small and large scale. It’s key to how we learn about ourselves, grow, and shift focus; to create what’s really in our heart, while developing a path to self understanding. Without it’s role as a disruptor, it would be easy to stay status quo and one dimensional – never really seeing beneath the surface of the self to learn and expand to a “dancing star.”

I can’t take credit for that comparison, however – that goes to Friedrich Nietzsche, “One must still have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star.”

We don’t always see or understand our inner desires and dreams clearly. So when chaos comes in, it offers us the opportunity to make dramatic realizations and clear out the fluff, to honor what’s most important for mind, body, spirit, and emotional health.

Even if chaos is inevitable, what’s essential is learning how to:

• Recognize it
• Notice what it triggers
• Understand how chaos opens up learning opportunities and new paths
• Stop judging it and the way it makes us feel
• Create a self care path that allows us to stay rooted

On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about the chaos effect, the different types, and what each reveals to better understand yourself, create a supportive self-care regimen, restore balance, heal where necessary, and understand it’s impact from a place of objectivity.

Lastly, I share tips and insights on the perception of chaos and how it serves as instigator, teacher, pathfinder and more. When we stop judging uneasy energy, and the way we handle it, it’s much easier to see its purpose in life and create a way forward from a space of insight rather than avoidance and fear.
