My beautiful, inspiring readers,
First of all, I hope that you have all had a lovely, joyous Holiday break, filled with bucket-loads of love, laughter, and tasty food… x
I was blessed with the most perfect gifts over these last few weeks, particularly between Christmas and New Year’s, through the sharing of conversations and relationships, which has pushed me and challenged me, resulting in filling my soul with knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, gratitude, love, and growth. And I need to use this time now to reflect to you all that these words have been pieced together with so much love and gratitude from the deepest depths of my heart; everything is perfect…
Needless to say that while I am blessed to be able to reflect back on this time as a beautiful, inspirational journey, which, essentially, I had set-up for myself to shift me into an even more loving, gracious, and balanced state, these times can consequently be the most exhausting and challenging spaces to experience and move through. So it is therefore important to be gentle on yourself and set aside any judgement that we so quickly and easily cast upon ourselves when we feel that we are not handling these experiences with the wise, positive, and gracious outlook that we have worked so hard to embody and embrace throughout every step of our journey.
My greatest lesson throughout this time – and I am sure will continue to be evident in this current journey of mine – is to create balance for myself. I need to balance my actions for other people by also setting aside time for doing things for myself that contribute to my well-being. I need to balance being a sensitive soul and taking on board the different energies from those around me by disconnecting myself from their space, meditating, working on my own energy whenever it begins to feel unbalanced, and also learning to say “no” with love and gratitude. I need to acknowledge when it is time to stop giving to others and using my gifts as an inspiring healer, and listen to my heart, nurture my energy, my heart, my mind, and my soul. How can I give love, light, compassion, intuitiveness, and gratitude to others when I have not stopped to give myself time to refuel and reenergise?
Having lost sight of these balancing words of wisdom that I once had, and have now once again reconnected with, I have spent a large amount of my time over the past few weeks – whilst surrounded by beautiful, inspiring souls – feeling fatigued, exhausted, and I am yet to recall the last time that I have had so many tears release their way out from me.
However, we must also take note that on some level we set-up each experience that unfolds for us, and we never create anything for our self that we cannot handle, move through, be inspired by, and grow from.
And while at the time we may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or angry – and perhaps even light body symptoms such as heart palpitations, ears ringing, and absent-mindedness – you deserve the time to disconnect from the situation at hand, find a sacred space for yourself, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and place your hand over your heart and fill your heart space with a beautiful, green emerald light; imagine this light growing from deep within and pouring out from your heart to as-big-a-space as possible in front of you, sit in this space, and repeat, “I love myself, and I trust that (this) is occurring for the greater good. I send everyone in this situation love and gratitude, and am thankful for the lessons that are currently being learned and embedded within me.”
Balance these situations, too, though, by noticing when you are happy and when you do feel balanced and grounded. Be gentle on yourself; you are a constant inspiration to those around you, so it makes sense to spend some time giving inwardly so that you can feel that love, light, and amazing-ness that you so very much deserve. Release, surrender, let go, and feel whatever feelings come over you, cry whenever you feel the sensation to cry; the more deeply you embrace these feelings, the more quickly you can move forward into that beautiful, nurturing peace-of-mind.
“May your joys be as bright as the morning, and your sorrows merely be shadows that fade in the sunlight of love."
~ Irish Blessing
