CUP FULL - THE 1ST LEVEL OF THE CONSCIOUS EVOLVER

CUP FULL is the first of eight levels in the Conscious Evolver system, as seen in the diagram called the Octagram. It is connected to the Root Chakra, which is the chakra associated with feeling grounded in the Earth’s energy. Just like a tree cannot grow very tall if its roots aren’t strong and healthy, we need to feel grounded to be able to thrive and become the best versions of ourselves.

When we are in Cup Full we are feeling ungrounded. Overwhelmed. We feel like our internal

compass is broken and we are not sure where we are headed. We are spinning our wheels. We are spending a lot of energy to get nowhere. If we let this go long enough it can lead to feeling completely flatlined, getting up in the morning is too energetically

demanding. As we feel out of control of ourselves and our lives, we feel like gravity is pulling down on us more than it should. We might breathe in a more shallow way and hold tension in our bodies. For example we might hold our shoulders up to our ears. We might feel like we are drowning, that we are really struggling to get any air. Or that there is no light at the end of this tunnel that we are in. We can’t think straight anymore and are feeling frazzled.

When we are in Cup Full we struggle with letting go of the thoughts that are controlling us.

We may start limiting our sense of worth and our potential to the thoughts that are swirling

within. We feel uncared for both by those around us and ourselves.

Cup Full can come into our lives in a sudden way, like a tsunami wave hitting us out of

nowhere. You were having a good day when all of sudden you are given a piece of information that sends you into Cup Full. Someone might say something to you that you didn’t expect and feels very triggering. An event might happen that sends you into a state of panic.

Cup Full however can also happen over time. It can creep up as a repeating pattern that slowly escalates over time. A constant worry in the back of your mind that rears its ugly face every now and again. While it may not be something you have to live with constantly, it can find a way of infiltrating your thoughts and emotions, and you just can’t shake it off.

As we become aware of what we are experiencing we can start to understand that we are in Cup Full.

We are able to take that step back from the storm we find ourselves in. This is a critical first step in being able to remove ourselves from it and create an awareness that what we are experiencing is called Cup Full. We can then identify which area of our life is causing this state of overwhelm and insert it into the Octagram. Now we have the tools and power to create transformation and bring ourselves to a more peaceful state of mind and way of being.

We can ground ourselves, feel the Earth’s energy fuel us, and grow.
