Change, Faith and our True North
How can we let go of what was, what is, to create space for something new? Do we dare move onwards?
You are surrounded by powerful and Divine love: it is you and you are it. You can be assured of a positive outcome.
A fist held tightly closed cannot receive.
Nor can a mind that is filled with old beliefs.
How can we identify the beliefs that no longer serve?
Because they are being shoved upwards and into our awareness. They are the ‘sticking points’, the uncomfortable connections and situations that act to trigger old wounds and notions we accepted for ourselves when we were younger. These cannot be allowed to stand and our Higher Selves are working diligently to show us where our wounds and strengths lie. And I don’t know about you, but it has certainly been a time of invitation.
Is this enough?
Do I want to ‘call it good’ and accept the work that has been done so far in this journey to heal as good enough? I’m a healer, I’ve done this for years, my Ego reminds me. It tells me I can choose to be done. My heart is not convinced. Do I dare move onwards? Deeper. Beyond the Ego and into the Divine essence of all that is? Our physical experience always invites Freewill (the right to choose).
‘It is what it is.’
Well, to rest here requires that I accept this life I have created is how it IS. There is a certain resignation in this little phrase. It also presents a conundrum: everything in this moment is exactly as it should be. It is what it is. Even discomfort is right for this moment because it is an invitation to choose something better.
On the other hand, I know that all that exists in this moment has been attained through my past and current thinking. What I focus on I create. Am I satisfied to continue with my present state of Ego?
Am I done?
Am I
satisfied with the Egoic voice that comes unbidden, seeking to dismiss my emotions or the right to prioritise self in favour of others?
satisfied with the Egoic sleight of hand that passes comment on another’s choices?
OR
satisfied with the sneaky comparisons or criticisms?
The short answer for me must be ‘no’.
‘Really Michelle? Do you really want to play this game?
I know that we are One with All. One energy. One shared consciousness existing as powerful creators in the physical. This awareness stands true and allows me to correct the Ego when it appears by asking, ‘Really Michelle? Do you really want to play this game?’ Buying into the illusion of drama and the physical manifestation of our thoughts guarantees they will continue.
Cause and effect.
Thought and creation.
This small act is often enough to release and rise above the situation. And it is always done with love - for there are no stronger anchors to the Egoic self than resistance, denial, or hatred.
Anything our conscious Egoic mind brings that creates discomfort, trying to convince us that we are inadequate or unworthy is not who we are. The part of us that is our Divine fragment never seeks to judge or criticise us. In fact, it only holds compassion and unconditional love for this experience in the physical.
Which then, do I choose to align with? The Egoic mind or the Divine mind?
I am not my story. You are not your story. We are infinite beings having a physical experience that has required a mask, an Egoic form essential for this experience. Perhaps it is time to re-train the Egoic mind to know we are not our experiences and that it is merely playing a role.
What if all that is needed is to love and accept ourself exactly as we are? Imagine the relief in knowing that we are working our way through our Divine plan in exactly the right timing?
And what if, when we create this new belief, we not only correct our vibration but support the vibration of Mass Consciousness to also shift upwards?
Would that not be the greatest healing we can offer?
Will you join me?
If you feel ready, join me in practice. If you feel resistance or decide going deeper is not for you, I accept your choice with love and hope you do too. There is no judgment here - all things in Divine timing. If you have already taken the deep dive and are surfacing, please share your story!
Choose the Divine Path: Choosing to follow the first thought, or the small voice without overthinking every possible outcome will lead us along the Divine path.
Today I choose to have love and compassion for my self. With every unhelpful or uncomfortable thought, I choose love.
Remind the Ego: Every time my Egoic mind seeks to keep me small or uses fear to maintain control, I will remind it that it is not me and send it love.
Breathe: If like me, you tend to overthink, take a deep breath, consciously exhale and hold faith that we are here in the physical to have experiences, to grow, evolve, and not to shrink from them. Breathe the tension out.
Remember: Every experience is an opportunity to feel, learn, grow, evolve - there are no mistakes. Our experiences do not define us, they simply act as contrast to invite us to choose what feels right and to remember the Divine essence that we are.
I know I won’t always ‘get this right’ and that is okay. We create habits over weeks and years and each new day, each new moment is another chance to refine our skills in choosing what feels right for us. Our true North.
Look within: Finally, take a moment each day to look into a mirror and deeply into your own eyes. See the Divine essence within and thank the physical body for being the vehicle that is allowing this human experience. There is no imperfection, and nothing is accidental - you are a unique fragment of all that is Divine in your chosen physical form.
