Alchemizing The Dark Into Light
One of the truths that has landed deeply for me over the past year, is that we have enormous power over the outcome of our reality. While this seems like a simple statement, it's riddled with challenges and 'work'. Many of us have studied the Law of Attraction and manifestation techniques, but this goes beyond those teachings.
Consciously building your reality is a practice that has roots in our belief systems, our mindset, our experiences, our karma and our cosmic origins. This is the inner work that we've been tasked with shifting, especially over the past two years.
And it's been crazy hard, speaking from personal experience.
It means going to places in your Being to clear stuff that has eons on this current reality. It means feeling things that don't make sense in terms of this lifetimes and sometimes navigating crazy making thoughts and endless mind loops.
Just to clarify, this is not a gloom and doom post meant to bring you down as we enter this new year, but more of an "I got you" for those of you who have found the shadows and releases to be, well, just plain hard, fast and maybe even relentless.
I write this to let you know that I SEE how hard you've been working, even if we haven't had personal contact in a long time. I see you because as the law of entanglement and the observer effect shows us, I am You, and You are Me.
This is the phenomenon of the Collective Consciousness; that what we're feeling, exploring, releasing, healing and experiencing is US, and yet, it's everyone else as well.
So if you've been feeling like me----spent, exhausted, on an emotional roller coaster of epic proportions, dealing with stuff you thought you had let go of--again, and feeling things so intensely as you never had before---please know that you're not alone, and that you're working not only for yourself, but for the rest of the planet as well.
This is the deepest, darkest shadow work we have ever done in the history of the planet, and its happening because the energies coming into the earth are completely new and unprecedented. This means that the light coming in (solar flares and electromagnetic waves) are causing and supporting our expansion and growth in a way that was not available before.
There are times when many of us can barely hold the shift---it's incredibly painful to feel for ourselves and ALSO for The Collective. It can be gut-wrenching, confusing and just plain exhausting. Many feel ready to give up.
If you've just begun a path of deeper spiritual exploration, you may be wondering why the excruciating moments are so much more intense, or why you cry at will one day and feel in love with the world the next.
And with all of the shadowy, dark parts of ourselves surfacing, our minds become attached to these negative patterns. This is where working with our reality or in our own quantum fields becomes so important.
As we begin to allow and understand these old energies, the next step is to see them as simply a 'story' that can be re-written:
1. Dive into the heavy feeling and sit with the discomfort. Try to stay with it as it goes deeper.
2. See the feeling as a story and remove it from you as you would a piece of clothing.
3. Visualize tossing it out into a huge field of blinding light.
4. Take a full deep breath and say "I'm reclaiming this {feeling, story, belief, thought, experience} and all the power it had over me.
5. Imagine that power alchemizing into positive, life-giving, joyful energy.
5. Feel the power of consciousness (or the heavens, cosmos, etc..) surging into you from all around you.
6. Take another deep breath.
7. Stay here until you feel calm and centered.
Remember that this is a practice that creates freedom from the external and a remembering of who you really are---a powerful, centered all-knowing human being. Our own healing is our biggest gift to the world and those we love.
Infinite Blessings to All,
