Allowing Your Path to Unfold

                Sometimes it can be difficult for us on our journey’s to trust the path ahead of us. Life has a way of making us feel like we are on this continuous rollercoaster that is always turning this way and rising that way. So determining what’s coming next in our lives can make us feel doubtful and anxious. Most of us tend to like definite answers, especially when it comes to matters of our own lives. We see the signs and the clues the universe is sending us but still search for a more concrete answer as to which step to make next, or which direction to turn. We as humans have a tendency to enforce so much control upon our lives, thinking it is the only way to live a civilized one, and completely disregard all trust we have in our path unfolding in divine flow without all the extra anxiety and sleepless nights.

                Personally, an aspect of flow I’ve had challenges overcoming is not knowing if I made the “right” choice or not. The roads I have traveled overtime and recently have been ones not usually taken by others, so I didn’t feel like I really had a platform or any reference points on which steps to take next. The path ahead looks like a blank road, which is enticing in the sense that it holds so much potential, but nerve wrecking in the sense that you don’t know what the hell is going to come from that infinite possibility.  I think a lot of people around their twenties can relate to this feeling. It’s around the time in our lives when we naturally start thinking about our future and the steps we need to take now, to get there. It’s the time where most people have a pretty good idea of who they are and what they want and are in the process of transforming their life to match. This also happens to be where we get a lot of flak from our peers and the people around us if our path happens to be an unusual one, or something completely different than the one we were previously on.

                Going through this process of creating your life and making your dreams come true can seem like a lonely one. It may seem as if you don’t know what the hell you are doing with your life and if you’re making the right choices but you must TRUST the process. Not everyone is going to agree with you and see your vision but they don’t have to, it’s not their life you’re living. The feeling of loneliness you may get is only your soul nudging you to see the authenticity of your being, and to not seek within others. The less we input so much control on our lives and let them naturally unfold, the more miracles will begin to occur.  It is the moment where we put our hands down and trust our power as Creators, when our life turns into everything we hoped it would.

                So the problem is not whether or not we are on the right path, or that we are at a crossroads and aren’t sure if we should go left or right. Our soul already knows these answers, it is already telling us them too. The reason you cannot hear the voice of your soul is because the voice of your fear is louder. Quiet the mind and you will see the path is not one of ups and downs like the analogy of life tells you, but a spiral spinning inward, returning home.  And then you’ll see that it doesn’t matter which step you take or which direction you turn, for each choice will allow you to see the alignment of your soul, and takes you closer to home.

So let go of everything holding you back from complete trust and let your life flow as a divine river of love

Showing Up For Yourself

                A lot of the time we don’t want to face what’s in front of us. We don’t want to see what our soul is telling us. We don’t want to confront these feelings of fear, doubt, anger, and stress and see what they’re about. And that very act of pushing aside our feelings by means of telling ourselves that we shouldn't feel a certain way is what brings upon those same feelings of shame, judgment, and fear. It’s an ongoing cycle until we break apart from the cloud above of us and feel the sun within our soul.  Not allowing ourselves to be with our feelings and presence completely and ask ourselves why we’re feeling a certain way, sends a message to our soul that it’s not okay to FEEL. And that the only emotions that are OKAY to feel are the ones of joy, laughter, and love. We push aside those darker feelings of fear, anger, and sadness as if they don’t exist.  And by invalidating the existence of the dark, we are invalidating a part of ourselves because we are all made up of the dualistic forces of light and dark.

              

                  When we aren't fully connected and integrated with those messier, scarier aspects of ourselves, we aren't fully whole. And we use spirituality, or other uplifting mechanisms that make us FEEL good and ignore the parts of us that make us feel like shit. 

                At this time a lot of people have gained the wisdom and knowledge of ascension and the world around us, but there is still an awakening journey within. The infinite nature of the universe can be easy to get lost within. We gather all of this information and experience all of these events but keep it in the mind without fully integrating these experiences with the body. Because that’s where the dirty work is. That is where all the shit we have piled up all of our lives is and it looks pretty scary and tiring to clean it up. 

                But it doesn't have to take till your 50 years old and have a mid-life crisis and you realize you really don’t know who you are and what you want because you never gave yourself the option to think about it and choose. Don’t look at doing the inner work as this horrible process that’s going to take years to get over everything you've been through. Look at it as nurturing your Self. As putting the energy into healing yourself because you love yourself enough to do so. Sometimes all this takes is sitting with yourself with no distractions and letting yourself know that you are HERE. And that it is okay to feel whatever you may feel. The more you visit that little sacred space within, the further it expands and the further you embody the Sacred Self and the divinity within… and that's when it will start to become your external reality.

Love, Wisdom, and Power

                The three essences in which we live by and expand are the ones that make up the Threefold Flame. The three flames that form this trinity are love, wisdom and power. By experience, we are continuously expanding and transforming this threefold. We go through heartbreak and learn a little more about love, we explore the unknown and in turn gain more wisdom; we go through sacrifice and learn more about power. These essences are that which make up our life force. The desire within us.

                We ignite the pink flame of Love by knowing what it feels like to love without any conditions. We love without attachments and learn the virtue of love that is free and boundless. We see that which others call true love is all love in itself. We learn that compassion doesn’t only comfort but it heals. And that the love beaming from our souls is a love that sees no limits, and no labels- only that same love in return.

                We spark blue flames of Wisdom when we allow our soul to speak. When we merge and integrate the higher heart, with the higher mind. Our hearts have been on a journey and have let go of every part of it, but the wisdom gained. And we use that wisdom not to input it on others and force it into their truth, but to light up our own. Words do not need explanations when you are speaking from whatever truth is in your Now. They will be effortlessly understood. And living in that space of openness and understanding, allows you to not only be a clear channel for your higher self and divine wisdom, but allows you to understand what others are saying without judgment or confusion.

                Wisdom fuels the fire to your Power. Your soul sparks vibrant yellow flames of integrity and empowerment. We see that true power comes when we have stood in our integrity and lived by the words of our soul. This does not mean we never fear, it means we walk through fear untouched. Unattached. Because we know our power isn't within our fear, it is within our Love and Wisdom. And we live by Love, Wisdom, and Power not as laws in which we abide by, but as essences we are.

                This trinity speaks upon that which fuels our desires. We all want love, and have our own ways of receiving it. We all wish to be intelligent and have different means of stimulating our minds. We all strive to be self-assured and feel empowered in different ways. Embrace whatever Love, Wisdom, and Power means to you and watch your fire grow. This is our driving force, the flame that ignites enlightenment. The holy grail. All which we seek is within us. There are flames ready to be sparked!

Transforming Your Life

           

               I would like to take a moment to say hello to LIFE and appreciate all that is at this exact moment right now. Hello to all that we are surrounded by right at this moment. To feel nothing but joy and love from all that we have done in our lives up until now. All words ever spoken. All thoughts ever thought. All roads ever took. LOVE what has been. Love is the purest form of transmutation. It heals. It sets free. So by loving what it is you are and what it is you have been, you break yourself free from any fear or doubt of what IS. You have no attachment to the past and no attachment to what will be. You are free. And the awareness of that kind of freedom allows you to swim through the vastness of abundance and fly through the airs of possibilities. So LET’S FLY! Let’s let go of whatever it is holding us back in any way and open ourselves up to all that is. All the infinite amount of possibilities we can tap into instead resurfacing ones that don’t feel good to our souls. Let’s stand in our power as creators and KNOW that whatever it is we want, no matter how broad, or how vast it may seem,  is in no way a tall order for our soul’s. Our soul already knows its power; it already knows what it wants and what it can create. All that’s left is integration. To integrate all you have done in your life up until now, all words ever spoken, all thoughts ever thought, and roads ever took and to sit with that feeling for a moment. BREATHE. And release.  And know that what has remained is the purest essence of your soul. And that you are ready to BE that essence.

                Let that feeling wash over you. Let the abundance and joy of life light up your would. And know that not only are the Grand Creator of your universe but you are the Grand Receiver as well. Let your heart reside in that knowing. And watch your life transform.

Affirmation of the day:

I Heal.

I Integrate. 

I Transform.
