Today on I Am Rising,
Through the darkness and into the light.
For quite some time now,
We have been experiencing a new awakening as a planet.
And with this awakening,
Comes many changes.
As spiritual beings living a human experience,
We are faced with obstacles,
Challenges,
Hardships.
As we move through these painful experiences,
We grow,
Develop,
And unfold,
And often look back and see that we're better for it.
In retrospect,
We have a new understanding of why things occurred as they did.
We learn from it,
And we see and feel how our soul evolves.
After all,
We do live in a world of duality,
And so in order for us to fully experience the light,
We must go through the dark.
However,
Lately,
The energy has been extra intense.
And it seems that everywhere I turn,
People are struggling more.
They can't seem to get out of it.
They feel stuck and emotional,
Wanting to crawl out of their skin.
Other things I've heard are that they're tired and depleted all the time.
Anxious,
Depressed,
Irritable,
The list is endless.
Even I go in and out of these phases.
It's like being on a roller coaster ride,
Not knowing what the next turn is going to be like,
And wondering when the ride is ever going to end.
So as I always do,
I took this into my meditation.
And I asked my angels and my guides why things have been so difficult,
Why so many of us are having challenges on a regular basis,
And what is happening as a whole that we are stuck and at times just feel unable to move forward.
And why does it seem that even when things appear to shift and open,
Another obstacle seems to present itself?
And this is the message I received.
Dear one,
You are conflicted because you aren't completely connected to your higher self.
Because of what you have been told by others,
What you have learned,
You are being swayed and tempted by the things of this world,
And as a result,
Are twisting and turning in a confusion that is often self-created.
You bought into a belief system that no longer serves you.
It is a pattern that has existed before,
And has become manifest again and again because it hasn't been cleared and released.
Its symbolism lies in your addictions or attachments to the earth plane as well as your human ego.
When you can see it for what it is,
When you can break free from the false belief and the weight that it has on you,
You can begin to open up to not only clarity,
But an unconditional love and passion deeper than you could ever imagine.
You will discover a space and experience your true freedom.
This difficult time,
As you call it,
Is actually an initiation into a higher level of your being.
The more that you react and resist,
You keep yourself in a holding pattern.
Dear child,
Let go.
Surrender.
Embrace and feel all emotions fully.
Don't hold back or tuck away your feelings.
Allow yourself to open up and accept this as a necessary part of your journey.
Keep seeking higher.
See through the appearances and trust in the higher and divine plan that is always being revealed.
Don't give up just before the awakening because of how you are feeling or what you are thinking,
Because you are not your thoughts or your feelings.
You are so much more.
Your thoughts and feelings are merely an experience moving through you.
And as you let it all occur without judgment and overreaction,
You will begin to see and feel the light at the end of the tunnel.
So focus on that light.
Fix your eyes and your heart on the illuminating light and the seeming darkness will dissolve.
This cannot be figured out or thought or decided on the mental plane.
This cannot be felt on the emotional plane.
This is an experience from within the inner dwelling sanctuary.
An elevation of the spirit and an evolution of the soul.
Dear love,
You must slow down.
Quiet the mind.
Commune with your soul.
Ground yourself in nature.
Become still and listen.
Align with your highest and beloved God Self.
Your highest and beloved goddess self.
It is the only way.
They see in order to change what is happening on the outside,
We must change what is happening inside.
And the way that we do this is through prayer,
Meditation,
Self-reflection.
So I invite you to take a few minutes and just turn inward.
Go into the silence.
Listen to your breathing and feel your heart opening.
Visualize your angels and guides all around you.
Because they are.
Heart to heart,
Connect with them.
Offering up a prayer of gratitude.
As you feel that gratitude,
Know that whatever you are going through right now,
It's going to pass.
And you are going to come out on the other side,
Refreshed,
Renewed,
Revived.
Feel each in-breath and out-breath,
How powerful you really are.
And know that you are not alone.
Honor yourself right now for having the courage to sit in the midst of the chaos and find the stillness in it.
To stand in drama,
Uncertainty and struggle.
And find your center by simply breathing and remembering.
And from this inner plane of unconditional love and truth,
You are beginning to build a solid,
More stable foundation.
You are shining in a shield of light,
This light is who you are.
It is the very light that you forget about when you're in the darkness,
Because it's you.
You are the light.
And you as this light can overcome anything.
So just feel,
Believe,
Listen,
Receive.
Trust in this higher light that is shining through you and as you.
Have faith in this deeper love that is expressing as your very heart.
This is how you move through the darkness and into the light.
