The Shedding

When life crumbled and my world came crashing down (and not just once, may I add), it was a sign that the life I was leading had to change. What could I do? Be afraid, fight it, deny it?

No. I had to embrace it with open arms. I had to feel the fear again and again. I had to surrender to the pain and anger again and again. I had to accept what had happened again and again. I had to shed and release what was holding me back again and again.

I have been on a difficult, deep, soul-healing journey for a while now. I know that my soul has chosen to be here at this particular time and I must let go and trust that it wants me to live the life meant for me.

After moving through very tough times, I found the world of energy healing. It blew my mind. I was very open to different ways of thinking, to different ways of dealing with stress, burnout, grief and pain.

I learnt that energy is powerful and that we have such a big energy field. I learnt that my life events, family and ancestral choices, beliefs, behaviour patterns and events can have a negative impact on my energy field and energy bodies.

I explored further and chose to acknowledge what was happening in my inner world, past and present, in order to move forward. I had to be open, vulnerable, accepting and forgiving. 

I had to dig deep and find the belief and understanding that the universe knew what was needed and I had to trust in it and believe that whatever came my way was meant for me. It didn’t happen to me, it happened for me and what was meant for me would never pass me by.

Keep an open mind here. I found out that before we come to earth, we sit down with spiritual guides and discuss what we have to learn about, overcome and achieve here on earth. There is an agreement about what we will experience here, whether it is good or bad or both.

Sometimes, it can be hard to hear as my mission here is a tough one. Yet I chose it. I had to experience events and situations that have been filled with death, pain, anger, resentment, mistreatment, neglect, happiness, excitement, love, joy, worry, stress, intimidation, fear and ridicule.

I found my way through the pain by delving deep within. I had to remember that I am here to learn and overcome. I harnessed the fear, many times, and I found the light that guided me back to show me all the wonderful things and all the tools that I had forgotten would bring peace to my mind, body and soul. I had to acknowledge, forgive and release a lot of things, many times, in order to expand and grow.

I will continue to peel away and shed the layers that no longer serve me so that I can grow and expand into my most authentic self. There will always be light to guide me. I need to trust and look for it.

With love and gratitude
