Bubble Up: How to Stay Grounded When the World Feels Heavy

Have you felt that strange pull lately, that tug back into old versions of yourself, looping thoughts, or emotions you thought were long healed?
If so, you’re not alone. Many of us are feeling it right now.
The current energetic climate is stirring up deep emotional layers and highlighting the subtle cords and plugs that still keep us tethered to outdated identities and stories. It’s as if the light is shining directly into the corners of our subconscious, asking:
“Where are you still giving your power away, to the past, to distraction, or to patterns that no longer fit who you’re becoming?”
This energy is both confronting and clarifying. It’s here to help us release what no longer serves and realign with what’s real.
🌿 Themes Emerging in the Collective
Over the past week, in my 1:1 sessions, group calls, and even in my own reflections, the same energetic themes have been surfacing again and again:
✨ Unplugging from noise and returning to simplicity.
✨ Forgiveness as the final, missing key in clearing dense or stuck energy.
✨ The realization that over-consumption of media and spiritual content can actually cloud intuition instead of clarifying it.
✨ And a collective call for stronger energetic boundaries and spiritual hygiene as our sensitivity continues to heighten.
These are not random patterns. They are signals of where our evolution is asking for refinement.
💫 Recalibration, Not Regression
It’s easy to see emotional waves or fatigue as a setback. But what’s really happening is a recalibration. Every trigger, every surge of emotion, every moment of heaviness is your energy system saying:
“Something here wants your attention.”
When that happens, try this simple practice: Pause. Breathe.
Ask yourself:
👉 Is this mine, or am I plugged into something old?
Then forgive, release, and come back to center.
💗 Bubble Yourself Like Glenda
Yes, like Glenda the Good Witch. ✨
Each morning (or anytime you feel off), imagine yourself standing inside a soft, shimmering bubble of light. This isn’t a wall or a barrier; it’s a frequency filter. Set the intention that love, truth, and inspiration can flow freely through, but anything chaotic, heavy, or untrue simply slides right off.
It’s a lighthearted yet powerful way to stay clear and sovereign in your energy while the collective field continues to churn and shift.
🌸 Reflection & Practice
As you move through this week, take a few minutes to pause, breathe, and check in with your energy. These prompts are meant to help you explore where your attention and power may still be entangled in the old stories, and how you can gently return to your own truth.
Reflection Prompts for Awareness & Energy
What emotions or thoughts have been looping for me lately, and what might they be trying to show me?
Where do I still feel “plugged in” to something that drains me or keeps me small?
How does my body tell me when I’ve taken on energy that isn’t mine?
When do I feel most clear and grounded in my own frequency?
What habits or distractions pull me out of alignment most often?
Reflection Prompts for Forgiveness & Release
What situation, person, or version of myself still needs forgiveness?
What feels heavy when I think about the past, and am I ready to let that go?
How does holding onto resentment or guilt show up in my body or emotions?
What would it feel like to forgive completely, even if I don’t fully understand why something happened?
What does true forgiveness free up in me?
Reflection Prompts for Discernment & Simplicity
Where do I overconsume information, opinions, or energy in a way that clouds my intuition?
What does “simplicity” look like for me in my spiritual or healing practice right now?
When I feel confused, what helps me return to truth?
What does my “yes” feel like in my body? What does my “no” feel like?
How can I honour my sensitivity as a gift rather than a burden?
Energy Practice
Before you start your day, close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
Visualize your Glenda bubble forming around you, soft pink light expanding from your heart until it surrounds your entire energy field. Say:
“I am safe. I am clear. I am connected only to what serves my highest good.”
Then step into your day from that frequency.
🌼 Closing
This is a season of refinement, of learning the language of your own energy and remembering that simplicity is powerful.
Keep your practices light and true to you.Trust what feels clear.And remember, truth always feels like relief. 🌿
There is nothing more important now than learning how to recognize your own truth and choosing it again and again.
