It is hard to deny the somewhat intense and deep sense of
shift and movement occurring at the current time, particularly on the planes
within. There is a profound wave of healing sweeping through layer upon layer
of consciousness as each of us begins to shed aspects of our Selves, our lives
and our paths that no longer serve a positive or life affirming purpose. Yet,
this clean sweep is not blasé or gung-ho in shape or form, as every single
thing we shed is significant and represents a willingness to create more space
within as we step back from the need to define ourselves by the past or by aspirations
of the future.
We have reached a stage of inner knowing where we feel ready
to embrace the true vibration of healing and that is to find balance and
empowerment through acceptance and love. Healing can often invoke a sense of
incompletion as we strive to be healed before we can live our lives, and yet, the
more we chase the state of ‘completion’ the more we realise that we have more
puzzles to solve and riddles to untangle before we can reach that promised
land. Therefore by seeking balance and empowerment through acceptance, we can
begin to let go of the cycle of chasing completion through a fear of being
incomplete and instead shift the balance towards love and wholeness. Although
this does not ‘fix’ us, it takes us away from the somewhat perpetual and
continual need to dig, probe and unravel in order to understand our Selves and
our paths in life.
Of course, we will always dig to some extent as that is a
part of being human, but there comes a time when too much digging keeps us
locked in the past and chasing the future. There is only so much we can learn
by what went before, and although the past helps to inform the present, it
doesn’t create it, as we do that. At the same time, the more we gaze longingly
into a future where we can feel Whole and complete, we diminish the value of
the present as we fail to give it power or definition.
Yet, present moment awareness is not really at the crux of
these shifts, it just helps us to become more aware of them. At the crux of
these shifts is a willingness to unify ourselves on all levels; bringing
together past, present and future, perfection and imperfection, fear and faith,
light and dark...
This inner unification is not about surrendering to the
‘dark side’ (if indeed there is such a thing) or giving up on our dreams, but
it is about taking a step beyond living conditionally and linear time to
instead loving what is, exactly as it is, now.
So many of us spend our lives defining ourselves by past events, past
choices and past decisions, and yet we also know that many of our experiences
in life are beyond our power. This begs the question as to why we continually
choose to define ourselves by such things even though they are now behind us in
the past?
Of course, it is hard not to let the past define us as it is
already grounded and set in stone; it has happened and is therefore a solid
reference point. And yet, we intuitively know that the present is our true
reference point as the past is behind us. We can therefore become tangled up in
knots trying to unravel this equation as we want to live now in a unified and
balanced way, but we cannot get beyond the need to heal, fix and find
completeness from understanding the past and shaping the future.
Such a conundrum seems all the more poignant whilst we go
through this current wave of shift as we are being reminded that we are vibrant
and awakened beings, connected to the Whole and an integral part of the bigger
picture.
We have long been seeking new ground beneath our feet that
feels solid and stable, but it seems that we are now ready to embrace a new way
of living and being that involves us letting go of the side rails and finding
strength from exploring unchartered terrain. Even though this new world may
feel strange and unfamiliar, it also intuitively feels like home as we let go
of the past, and of the clutter within, in order to take a deep breath of life...
