Share Your Gifts
There has never been, nor will there ever be, someone with your unique way of being in the world. This is the moment to let yourself shine.
Sharing increases the energetic flow between the souls involved. There is an opening, a transcendence, that supersedes all else and together we create something entirely new. Thus, the most beautiful way to accelerate your own transformation is to honor your gifts by bringing them into the world of form.
When your focus shifts from what you can get from the world to what you can give, joy emanates from your very being. Your light begins to spark awareness in others. Your journey of awakening becomes an inspiration. Your laughter, a healing balm in a world that is often filled with uncertainty.
Each of us has a specific role to play in the expanding consciousness of which we are all a part. Let love guide you and honor your unique way of being in the world.
Honoring Your Feelings
Taoists teach that tears are the “first sign of ice melting” and that they can be a powerful movement of Qi energy.
As we awaken to our exquisite beauty and divinity, there will be times when the illusion of separateness creates feelings of fear, loss, lack or anxiety. The veil of tears is a sign that indicates a breakthrough is at hand. Feel whatever it is that you are feeling, then go deeper. Look for the story that you have come to believe and then see beyond it to the truth of the present moment.
Within our awareness of temporary unconsciousness, we are actually becoming more conscious. Awareness is the first phase of transformation. So, do not reject feelings that arise – use them as the doorway to new insight, meaning and purpose.
Bless the moments of paradox when they arise in your experience. There is a blending of mind, body and spirit that is occurring and ultimately it will lead to a new level of understanding and peace.
Acceptance
Acceptance, at its highest level of expression, is unconditional love.
When you operate from a space of acceptance, ego involvement in your daily experiences decreases. When you choose to interact with a lack of expectation or judgment, you create a space where others feel safe while facilitating the opportunity to have an authentic connection.
Practice non-reactive listening and ask questions that bring you a greater understanding of alternate viewpoints. We have so much to learn from one another and there is nothing to be gained by triggering others’ defensiveness.
Acceptance allows life to be more simple and meaningful. Rather than focusing on what needs to be fixed or understood, practice being okay with what is. Operate from the assumption that everything is unfolding in the perfect way for your soul development and move forward from there. Acceptance must begin within. Tend to your own needs and be aware of your state of consciousness. When you are in balance, your capability to bring peace, acceptance and grace to your life situations increases.
Be the Change You Wish to See
As we change, the world around us is transformed.
Those who are able to see life from a higher perspective often feel that they live just outside of commonly held beliefs and ideas. Part of the old soul experience is learning to be okay with being different. We walk in the world as students and as teachers, ultimately discovering the joy of being.
Many view old souls as simplistic because they have learned to see beyond the intricacies of drama to a broader viewpoint knowing that, in spite of appearances, all is well. And because of that, there is nothing to be “fixed”, instead they seek only to view and respond to life as objectively and compassionately as possible.
Each of us has an incredible impact on the world around us. Strive to be a loving example of what you wish to see in the world. Let your life be your message. Your kindness plants seeds that will eventually take root and grow.
Be Different
Strive to bring a vibrant, authentic version of yourself to all of your interactions.
Your purpose is to discover your passion, your joys and your truth and live them fully. Just a spark of your beautiful energy is enough to awaken light in others. When people respond to you, they are responding to the echo of their own divinity. Set an intention to be a loving reflection, helping those you encounter to see aspects of themselves to which they may be blind.
There is no one special you need to be, no specific level of consciousness to attain, no need to worry about not being enough. Just be your authentic self. Let joy guide your actions while you walk gently in the world.
Freedom
Awakening allows us to break free from mind-made prisons.
The path of transformation is a process by which we systematically break free from self-made bondage. As we awaken, we become more aware of what we perceive to be blockages. This awareness begins the process of ruthless observation, authenticity and conscious action (or inaction depending upon the situation).
Give yourself credit for how far you have come. The slow, subtle process of your spiritual evolution is always in play and as we awaken it’s important to remember that the ego becomes more subtle. It may demand your perfection. It may tell you that you should know better or that if you were really conscious, such mistakes or reactivity would not happen; however, nothing could be further from the truth. We often revisit old triggers and challenges for the express purpose of seeing that we now handle them far differently than we would have in the past.
Create freedom in your experience by treating yourself with compassion and loving-kindness. You are a child of light and nothing matters more than your state of consciousness in this moment. What is more important than your joy?
The Journey is Sacred
All those who grace your life play a role in facilitating the lessons you wished to learn in this incarnation.
Karmic relationships provide an opportunity to experience and examine both sides of a situation and learn compassion for the other in the process. We tend to get the most growth by interacting with those who are our opposites. The flow between the two opposing polarities ultimately becomes neutral when the karma is complete.
Some relationships are simply loving and supportive. Rather than accelerating growth, they offer a foundational, consistent experience that allows us to feel safe while processing through other, more challenging interactions.
Other encounters may be brief but life-changing. Someone comes in like a whirlwind, inspires you or pivots your course in some way and then exits once their karmic role is complete.
All of these interactions weave together for your benefit. As your consciousness expands, you’ll play a more active role in recognizing soul connections when they appear, understand the lesson more quickly and move through the process by utilizing the tools you have cultivated along the way.
Seeking Outside Validation
It’s time for you to recognize your own magnificence.
Peacefulness comes from living in alignment with your true nature, honoring your strengths and insights, learning from your challenges and knowing that your path is sacred and unique.
Many people defer to their inner critic, typically seeking to please others based upon childhood imprinting, parental or societal expectations. The tendency is to put aside their own joy and they walk through life striving to attain outside validation.
As we awaken, we come to understand that life is about being an authentic and conscious expression of the Divine. The illusions which surround us become less important as we discover the value of experiencing happiness and fulfillment in the present moment.
Respect your vision and trust that your inner guidance will lead you to see yourself clearly. When you live in harmony with your true nature, your life will become your message and you’ll make a difference in the world.
Now is Evolving
The dance of awakening expands with every step you take.
In every moment we encounter limitless possibilities. The tendency of the mind is to to stay locked into the known; however, there’s nothing to be gained by playing it safe or repeating old patterns. Our purpose is to awaken, expand our perceptions and discover new facets of being.
Even when interacting with familiar people and circumstances, we can bring in new energy and vitality by making conscious choices. Expect the very best with the knowledge that those who grace your life are also in the process of expansion and renewal.
When we seek only to learn from and love one another, something miraculous occurs… there is a blending of energies that creates something entirely different. And from this new place of compassion, insight and experience a world of infinite potential opens and we can step through the doorway with an open heart.
