Native Americans have a concept called Rim Walking which refers to having a foot in both worlds. One in the seen and one in the unseen. The material world and the spirit world. This point of view helps us to see ourselves, events, the world and universe in general from a neutral space. I can’t think of any perspective we need right now more than that of neutrality. We are programmed by our families, our communities, our religious organizations and very powerfully by the media that we need to pick a side and fight for it. But, is it necessary to choose a side? Is it necessary to fight? To be angry at those who disagree with you, to judge them? To give yourself or causes you believe in moral authority? A much more productive way to approach any topic or situation is from the still point, the Neutral Zone. In this place, you can zoom out to a higher view and look at all sides from there. You don’t need to get sucked into an emotional roller coaster or even all the details. Once there, you can connect to the highest version of yourself who can give Unconditional Love to all involved.

This process isn’t about your personal feelings, its about rising above them to find a new place of love and desire for healing instead of allowing your thoughts to run to the negative or judgemental. When we judge we are contributing to the fabric of the problem, which is already tightly woven and needs to be loosened then unraveled. So I would challenge you the next time you pick a side on any issue, don’t allow your personal feelings to rule. Rise above it to see all the people or situations involved and feel love for them like you would your own child. Feel how much you love them and want the best only, which is their healing. Put your thoughts, which is your Energy and your Power, on their highest and best outcomes. Be in that space for as long as possible, and when you lose a hold on it go get it back. Not only will you save yourself a lot of stress and turmoil, you will be contributing your immense personal power towards a solution and not the problem, as we all have done unwittingly. Wake up to your Power and use it to heal.
