We Shed And Heal Together

The Time to Shed and Heal Has Come.

Spring is here. The cherry blossoms are in bloom. The birds are singing and soaring. Trees are rooting down further so their branches can reach even higher with even more lush abundance. 

Clearly, Nature is NOT on a "Pause."

We are.  In some ways.  And in some ways, we are not.

While certain things are in slow motion or at a complete standstill, there is a fast forward button simultaneously being pushed on our inner growth.  Our self realization is being accelerated.

We are being given an opportunity to take a Pause from the over-doing.  The overextending. The overconsumption. Greed. Arrogance. Narcissism. Pride. Hiding. Playing small. Underperforming. Competing. Worrying. Fearing. Overthinking. Depletion. Depravity. Lack. Guilt. Punishment. Shame. Perfectionism. Workaholism. Addiction. Aggression. Violence. Manipulation. Taking people and resources for granted.  Being the "know-it-all." Allowing thoughts of scarcity like "not enough"  or feelings of jealousy to create havoc. Living in doubt or insecurity.  The incessant need for approval and validation outside of ourselves.

These are only some of the shadows and energy that are being brought to light so they can be healed and bring us further into Embodied Congruence, Authenticity, Integrity, and Alignment.  

We are evolving into a more sustainable model of living involving collaboration, union, and harmony which requires global purification.  A great purge is upon us.

Mother Nature is currently in "tough love" mode...while still holding us and loving us unconditionally. She is asking for our cooperation and for more of a contribution from us that goes beyond recycling paper and plastic. She is asking us to dig deep within ourselves and face our shadows as they are not in alignment with the truth of who we are in our hearts, souls, and/or core essence.

The fact is we all have shadows.  It's within all of us. Healers, Thought leaders, Religious figures, Politicians, you name it.  There is no human on this planet that is the exception to this, nor is there any human that is immune to the process of shadow release. Everyone is included.  We are one.  This is the darker side of the spectrum of Oneness. We are one in light and love, and we are also one in "darkness."  

Healing our shadows will bring about greater peace, love, and brighter light within us, and around us. Knowing this, we can all take the blindfold off of ourselves.  We can all gracefully descend from our pedestals, high horses, and thrones of ignorance, together.  Turning a blind eye is just not an option anymore.  And neither is the option of spiritually bypassing the darkness within. It is not working.  We can take our masks off and stop pretending no matter how masterful our "game face" is.   

Shadows have a way of revealing themselves in some of the most surprising places.  For example, the thing I've heard the most in the last few weeks from people in all walks of life is "There is so much happening right now!!  What can I do?!!  I need to do something!!"

The most pure, innocent, and genuine desire we all have is to be of service. That is what we all have come here to do in some way.  But even in that, there are shadows that convolute the intention such as the need to control, fix, intervene, and save.  There's also the pattern of being the Martyr where you are forgotten or disheveled in the mix while others are being served.  And where does that road lead?  Burnout, breakdown, and resentment, which is not what you are destined for.

If you can hit the brakes and pause before you speak or act, you are creating a huge opportunity for yourself.  You are giving the wiring a chance to stop firing and creating an interruption in the pattern of behaviors which lead to dysfunction and poor health.

Which brings me to the question...What if the greatest service you can do right now for yourself, your family, friends, community, and the planet is to take an honest look to see what's being harbored within yourself...using the unconditionally loving and nonjudgmental eyes of Mother Nature?

This does not have to be an aggressive confrontation.  Look with curious, gentle eyes. Allow yourself to be the observer and allow this to be a quest of discovery for yourself. Find the darkness within and embrace it. It's been a part of you.  A part of your "successes" and "failures." There is no need to beat yourself up or punish yourself for anything you see or feel.  That would just add more to the shadows that are needing to be healed!  

Simply Acknowledge it, Thank it, and Breathe to create a space for this energy to move through you and out, into the ground.

Once you see it, it's no longer hidden or unconscious.  It loses its power to consume, elude, or sabotage you.

Give yourself the gift of silence to go within and see what wants to be revealed. Allow yourself to listen to the wise voice within which will help you remember who you really are, and why you are here.

As a reminder...We WILL emerge through this...Lighter, Brighter, and Mightier.

May you feel safe, loved, and deeply held in your process.  May you navigate through the Underworld with ease and grace. May you remember who you are.  And may you come out with deeper truth and clarity.

Sending you an abundance of love and blessings during your sacred release.
