When Resistance Arises
This week ushered in some much needed time and space to recalibrate. The hot and charged summer energy of Leo has had me living in a constant stream of passion and excitement which can also fast track me straight into exhaustion. I’m grateful for what I have learned about my own energetic needs and when to schedule in those balance breaks.
Often times these breaks really end up being the greatest revelations of my own healing journey, allowing time for observation and reflection. After a week of clients, I typically notice trends in the collective energy and this week was no different. Additionally, the past 8 months I’ve been accessing a LOT more energetic sensitivity into this universal awareness. It’s a true blessing to feel this connected with humanity as a whole.
In my last newsletter I shared about holding both the heaviness of current events AND the excitement of what’s coming. This week I became aware that the illusions and clouded storylines we’ve been living under are being lifted. We are seeing more and more horrors, injustices, pain and suffering come to light. People are telling their stories, revealing secrets and shedding light onto the inner workings of what needs to change. While these stories have always existed, they have intensified as we as a society are reaching our maximum threshold of tolerance. The number of people who are moved to action is growing by the day and it truly IS a revolution. Watching as our societal, economic, governmental and political structures are being dismantled is a not always a comfortable place to be. So much fear and anxiety rises up but, remember, these are rising up to be HEALED.
WE ARE WAKING UP, WE ARE FINDING OUR VOICES
In this time, it is vital to remember this point: what we see outside ourselves is always a reflection of what is within us. This week, my clients showed me evidence of a deeper level of this awakening. Deep levels of shame, regret, and self loathing are being lifted out of darkness. More than ever, people are seeking how to know their true and authentic selves. On some level we are all asking, “who am I and where do I fit into a world where the old structures are being dissolved.” The “unknown” is a survival trigger for the nervous system and ripples through our being and collective consciousness.
Are you listening? What are you hearing?
Thursday I personally worked with deep regret, fear and dread. Friday night I was surprised to notice how much self loathing I had tucked away in my body. It was years of unprocessed sadness, grief and depression that grew into a type of disgust in myself. I’m certain some of this belonged to others, from back in a time when I subconsciously sought to help by taking on other’s pain. However, in the end, it was all energy that I made the decision to own and carry. All hidden, dormant, unbeknownst to me, waiting for the right time to be seen and healed. EUREKA- what a breakthrough!
UNITY AND CONNECTION
What we do for ourselves, we do for others. As I witness the many struggles of humanity, I know that holding space for myself does help shift the collective consciousness on this planet. I know that when I see and hold space for what is hidden within, I do the same for all of Humanity.
When I heal my unmet needs of childhood, I heal the unmet needs of those around me.
And you do the same.
It may seem small, it may be subtle, it may be completely out of your awareness, but it DOES happen.
Our stories my seem different, our paths may seem separate, but we are all connected, holding space for each other’s healing.
WAVES OF RESISTANCE
One of the greatest indicators of growth is the arrival of resistance. Resistance can feel like everything is working against you. It can feel like falling apart, failure, fear, doubt and despair. It can feel like physical pain or illnesses that prevent you from taking next steps.
People are awakening to their own abilities to heal. They are learning about themselves, their own need to balance and what their triggers are. The number of people diving into deep self-awareness is truly astounding. All of them are part of this massive wave of elevation in consciousness.
It’s time to take it a step further. Armored with this deep understanding, it’s time to be aware that triggers are simply resistance. Resistance is what holds us back, what keeps us small, what keeps us in doubt and confusion. It pinches us off from our own power and our connection with our source. You may call it the Universe, God, the Divine, your Higher Self. They all translate into the Truth that you are connected to a power that is greater than just the individual, egoic self. As we all arise in this awareness, the easier it is to recognize the resistance, and move beyond it with the self empowering tools we’ve been honing.
What you do for yourself, you do for others. Removing your resistance removes the resistance of humanity and the planet as a whole.
This is a call for bravery and courage in the face of these strong waves of emotion. This time calls for us to really lean into and work with what triggers us. We need to face the old stories stored within the body and the ego mind. It’s a call for our deep individual and collective healing.
Thank you to all of you doing this brave work.
Thank you to all of you who are starting the journey.
Thank you to those who show up to be heard and seen, exposing the hidden wounds.
We are all playing our roles, even those who are holding the space of duality as part of the old crumbling systems.
Remember, we all have the capacity to hold the weight and heaviness of fear while maintaining the vision of the good that is yet to come.
