Have you felt
the shifts in relationships...in career...in health...well, in about every area
of your life? The old is no longer
working for us. But in order to grab onto something new, we must let go of what
we are holding onto.
Consider for a
moment that you are holding onto a lump of coal. You think by holding it tight
eventually it will turn into a beautiful diamond. But sitting in front of you
is a large gorgeous sparkling diamond. You watch as the light filters through
the facets sprinkling intricate patterns around it. You wish to pick it up, but
your hand holds the coal.
Eventually you realize that you must put down the
coal, as awareness reveals that it will never become a diamond. As soon as you
release the coal from your hand, you hold the diamond in your hand. You feel
the energy of joy surge throughout your body as you hold it close, entranced in
its beauty.
Holding onto
the coal has soiled your hands. In the past, your hands would never stay clean.
You find as you wash them, this time, they stay clean. This is because you do
not pick up the coal again. Instead you embrace the diamond.
Find something
in your life that you wish to release this year, so you can be open to the
beautiful new life that is waiting for you.
One thing that
is an issue for many, including myself due to my upbringing, is being critical
of others, situations, or one's own self. Right now relationships are being
tested as this critical spirit is raising its ugly head.
Friends are
feeling it is their job to tell their friends how to live their lives. Some
have decided they are supposed to 'call others out on their stuff'. This kind
of thinking is wrapped in ego. If a person has not asked the question, they are
not open to hearing the answer from anyone. One should consider that perhaps the lessons
that need to be learned are being given to that person by their own guides and
angels. We should not only keep our noses out of it, but our critical spirits
out of it also. Just saying we are only doing this to create a spiritual
awakening only feeds our own ego and critical spirit.
There is a
huge challenge with letting go of having a critical spirit, however. It is very
easy to fall into being critical of those who is critical! Lol! We have to carefully police ourselves. Always
ask where the energy is coming from. Criticizing someone for criticizing others
drags us deeper into the quagmire of lower energy vibrations and thinking. When this happens, as it will invariably do
so...just catch yourself and then look for the positive in the situation...wash
it with love and move on.
Life will get
easier as we stay in this energy of Divine Love and rise above the drama the world's
old ways of thinking. Know always the Angels are here to help and assist.
