Transitions

This past week, I finished a 3 week course called Transitions and to say it has altered my perception of MY life would be an understatement. One of the key points that came out of it was that we are all products of our beliefs, our upbringing, and our sense of our self. So many people have such a limited awareness of all that they are, all that they have been and, more importantly, all that they can be. We hold so much inside, for fear of what will emerge, that we hold ourselves back from experiencing all that we so dearly wish to have in our life. Through all the revelations of each of the Souls in the class, this I now know to be true.

It is important that we remember not to bottle up our emotions, and that we allow ourselves to receive any support that is offered to us. No-one travels through life unscathed. Emotional pain is one of the unpleasant facts of life. Yet it can also be seen as a gift as long as it is recognized and released and not held on to.

Mourning for what has been lost pierces our heart and opens us up to new and deeper dimensions of feeling. The process brings about transformation through an expansion of awareness. The most sympathetic and empathetic people are those who have the courage and strength to face, acknowledge and release their own suffering. Each of our personal experiences have taught us much.

Could it now be time to recognise this and to release the old with compassion, thereby creating the space in your life for new and positive energy to come in? I, for one, believe this to be true.

I find that throughout last night and continuing on throughout my day today, I have felt as if a blanket of acceptance has been gently placed upon me for all that I have gone through and all that I am currently experiencing. My wish today is that we settle into a place of compassion for ourselves and for all those who are also working through their own brand of transition.

It has been a powerful 24 hours for me. Oh and that other friend who was also considering moving....YUP....she is also leaving the downtown core on April 15th. But you know what, it just doesn't matter now. I am in a place where I am very ready to meet and embrace all that is new and all that is waiting for me.

Last night I participated in another meditation circle in a beautiful setting on the water. I saw myself standing on a very high precipice; arms outstretched, wrapped in a beautiful diaphanous cloak of pure white light. The sense of pure divinity and a brand new being emerging was very present.

I know that I feel much lighter today and the feeling that it is all DIVINE permeates my Soul. I sigh a breath of relief. I am here........aaahhhhhhhhhhh
