When you are trying to live a life of balance and peace, there is nothing more challenging to deal with than a crazymaker.
Julia Cameron used the term “crazymaker” in her book The Artist’s Way, when she wrote about how chaotic personalities can derail artists. However, crazymakers are equally destructive for all of us sensitives, empaths, intuitives… all of us who feel everything all the time. As sensitives, we empathically feel the energy of a crazymaker, and this energy does not make sense to us, because its vibration is chaos, and sometimes it is chaos mixed with darkness. There are crazymakers who aren’t dark: they’re flaky and inconsistent and self-absorbed, but they’re not malicious: they’re just off in their own little world. These types of crazymakers are annoying, but if you have good boundaries, they won’t affect you much. You might feel slightly anxious or even nauseated when you’re around them, but it’s not intentional. They’re not trying to hurt you. But dark crazymakers, often lumped under the broader categories of narcissists and sociopaths, are another story. These folks work hard to bring chaos to your life. For example, some politicians are crazymakers; they’ve learned to use crazymaking as a tool to distract from what they’re really doing. There are crazymakers in your own life who also take delight in creating chaos: maybe a family member, a partner, a friend, a colleague. The thing is, crazymakers love empaths, sensitives and intuitives, because we’re so easy to tweak! Empaths, sensitives and intuitives are often way too nice for our own good; we put up with the bad behavior of others because we are too polite to say “no.” Yet there is no reason any of us have to be in energy that is chaotic, destructive, demeaning, dark, or evil. If you haven’t said “no” yet to the crazymaker in your life, today is a great day to start. Much love, SARA When was the last time you got naked with yourself?
Not naked with someone else, such as in sexuality. Not naked at a wild and crazy festival where this is sometimes common. Not naked in nature, where there’s no one around. Just you, naked. Not paying any particular attention to being naked. Not involved in any big naked activity. Just you, not wearing any clothes. Nowadays, we aren’t naked very often. Unless you’re in a warm climate or maybe have a beach lifestyle, most of us keep a steady pace from shower to towel to clothing: it’s not that we mind being naked, it’s just that it’s our habit to put on clothes quickly. Maybe we have to get to work. Maybe there are others in the house. Maybe it just doesn’t feel right. Maybe we’re not comfortable in our bodies. And this idea of not being comfortable in our bodies, of not being comfortable in our own skin. Wow! Why, this is very skin we are born with, the skin that covers our organs and muscle and blood, the skin that has expanded from baby to our current size and been our boundary, our living protector of inside from outside, our whole lives. Being naked isn’t some crazy weird thing you do with body paint at Burning Man. It’s your body, without one vestige of cultural conditioning upon it. It’s your body, as you were born. Accepting our bodies is one of the ways we accept ourselves. Much love, SARA A while back, Vogue magazine ran an article on natural hair: hair that isn’t treated, colored, curled or straightened. Hair that just does its thing, without artifice or control.
As a person with curly hair, this made me very happy! It’s not so much that fashion, which often uses artifice as art, is a bad thing: I personally think fashion can be an amazing way to express one’s uniqueness. But, it’s nice to see authenticity showing up as a trend, instead of conformity. This idea that who we are is enough, no further changes needed. You know, curly hair (and probably straight hair or any kind of hair) does its own thing.Every day is just a little bit different due to the shims of the wave, and no amount of gel or mousse or spray, or even the most diligent application of heating tools seems to make a difference. After fifteen minutes or so, it’s back to its regular curl pattern. And this to me, seems the ultimate sign of the Universe: if something wants to curl, needs to curl and does curl… why on earth would we struggle against it? To be in Flow, is to wear our hair as it desires to be. Long, short, curly, straight. Blonde, brown, white, blue. Dread. Shaved. Heishi knot. Spiritually speaking too, hair is often deemed our spiritual antenna: one of the ways that we easily tune into the energies of the Universe. As you can see in this photo of my daughter and me years ago, my hair had some crazy antenna that day! What I notice is that when we allow ourselves to step out of conformity and simply be who we are… then that’s when we’re more in tune with the Universe. Much love, SARA |
