Letting Go of Control

Letting go of control is the beauty of life’s dance. It allows you to flow freely with what is and accepting of what is to come. It’s those moments where you’re not worried what the next sentence will be, because you are falling in love with the one you’ve just written.

A lot of us have grown accustomed to believing that if we don’t have control on our lives, all will go to hell and we would go bat shit crazy. We have decided to reside in a space confined within the chambers of our own fear; and deny any fret from our fleeting hearts. Sometimes, we may not even realize we’re doing this. It seems so natural. “I woke up 20 minutes late, now I don’t have time to get ready!!”, “So and so canceled, NOW what am I going to do??”, “My cars not starting, how am I going to get to work?!”

LET GO.

Let go of all those little voices in your head telling you that whatever you’re facing is bigger than your own will.

Let go of all those times something didn’t work out the way you wanted, and allow yourself to see what has come from it.

Let go of the boxes you order your life within, and allow your soul to be free of the baggage, free of the burdens of an unknown tomorrow.

LET GO.

Now letting go should not be confused with giving up or pushing away, which all come from intents from our wounded ego; letting go comes from liberating our soul. I am not saying that by letting go, your life will be “perfect” and you will never be late or never have a quick change of plans. But I am saying that those experiences won’t affect you as they may now. You will not be attached to any particular outcome; and therefore not one can trigger you. You may not always know what’s coming next, and that can be scary at times. But once you let go of the need for things to happen a certain way, you allow new and exciting things to lighten your days.  

The world at large is going through many changes, and just as many are going on individually. And it can seem like you are walking through life with a blindfold at times, unaware of what’s coming next or what steps you need to make to get to the “next.”  But I promise you that it does not matter what is to come, for what is to come doesn’t even exist. What does is right now. And when your right now is an open flow of possibilities, that’s how many will enter.

So let go and let be… and watch your life unfold in a beautiful symphony.

The Galaxy Within / Without

Within me is a galaxy I have explored many, many times. Within me is galaxy in which holds all life. The galaxy within, is the same as the one without; only I have the power to Love inside and out. 

                Earlier this week I talked about what it means to show up for ourselves and putting in the energy into nurturing our souls and showing ourselves the love we yearn for. To add on to this topic, I want to go more into detail about the internal aspects which alter once we have done the shadow work and cleared some of those lower emotions and how it affects the whole. 

                Once you begin to awaken to all those essences within that were trying to be heard, you sometimes feel a sense of vulnerability, and nakedness. Like there is nothing left of you… but yourself. And the bareness you feel from within, to without; is the same vastness of the universe you feel and see.  It is the micro and macro, the all infinity. It is complete nothing, and absolute everything. It is where not only your truth resides, but universal truth as well. This is the galaxy within us.

                The more you tap into to your internal universe the more the external will match it. It all begins from within to without. This is how you create the world you wish to live in. You create your sacred space within, and expand it out. So that whatever you do or whatever you create, it is an extension of that sacred space. It is a part of you. A part of the whole. This realization is life-changing; for the self and for the whole. We realize our power and sovereignty of being able to change the world, just by altering the one we live in.

                Speaking in terms of this type of vastness is what leads us to the reality that we are all One. It shows that if what is in our external reality is but an extension of ourselves and the galaxy within, then literally we are One with what is in front of us at all times… it is US. Whether that be animal, human, or plant, it is all an aspect of ourselves; it would not be in our reality if it wasn't. This is The Universal Law of Oneness.

                So we not need to BECOME enlightened or BECOME a better version of ourselves. We must UNRAVEL. Until all that’s left is the Truth. And the truth shines like a million stars forming cosmos around our veins and into our hearts. It awakens the galaxy within us that knows these divine principles, and knows the power of creation and acts upon with loving intent. This is how we bring peace on earth.  We are ALL and We are ONE.

Namaste xx

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.
