The movies and horror stories show poltergeists as ghosts that invade your space and scare the daylight out of you. It’s true, they are scary.

But unlike in the movies, they don’t invade our lives. It’s more that we create our poltergeist all on our own.

The disturbances caused by a poltergeist are a powerful reflection of what’s happening inside you.

Just yesterday, I had a call from someone whose day was downright overwhelmed. I could hear the whirlwind gaining speed, becoming a tornado, getting ready to take on patio furniture, whole trailer parks, and a few rooftops, only to have them spew everywhere.

This person was creating a poltergeist of monumental proportions!

She was creating a scenario where it would all come back at her leaving her spewed across lawns for miles. Her poltergeist was threatening to make her a victim. And that always leads to dis-ease.

Slowly, she and I unpacked which of those things happening outside her were hers to observe and how many she needed to take on. Gradually, the tornado downgraded to a mild windstorm and, eventually, a mere breeze.

We all tend to create our own poltergeist if we don’t stop to take inventory. When is something deserving of our energy, and when are we chasing things in the name of helping or supporting that we can do without owning the situation? 

There is a crazy world out there. We can’t save it all. Notice when the winds are beginning to swirl uncontrollably. Turn the power of your thoughts to your own internal needs and extend your power thoughtfully and gradually.

Wishing you a calm weather day.
