Being authentic means being exposed and being able to stand in it – full power.  Naked Glory.  Shaking off fears, phobias, and fantasies of being driven back into our darkness because our raw, naked Truth is too much to behold.

And the ego will fight tooth and nail, sourcing demons of times passed filled with rejection and pain, as we begin to unfold in our wholeness.  Intentions will lead the way as we’ve been pushed to the edge of our cliffs of inhibition.  No more wiggle room to vacillate between the merits of being safely hidden and busting out into full realization of being alive.

The lessons have been absorbed and now they call for action as the beast of your truth becomes mighty and demands that full consciousness be spread throughout the kingdom of your being.

Any and all un-alignments will be raked through the bright light of recognition, clarifying what Is and what you’ve told yourself it might be.  Denial is overturned and we no longer have that ground to stand on as we sink into the new soil of awareness.  This change and shift in foundation feels scary and resurfaces primordial wounds and trepidation as we’re asked to forgo the ground and balance our weight on a cloud.
Irritation boils to the surface as we’re faced with the overturning of the bubbling beliefs that have kept our personal worlds in check.  Like a fledgling who has outgrown the nest, we must exit and say goodbye to our comfort zones and test our wings on the promise of joy and great fulfillment that expansion brings.

And as we open, we are blessed with the gift of a greater view.  Each time we take a step in the direction of our truth, we receive another glimpse of the possibilities that await us as we break free of the smoldering blanket of sleep.  We’ve been steeped in vast illusion- in a consciousness based on self-preservation and faulty beliefs. It feels like we’re awakening from a bad dream and we want to shake it, forget it, repress- but the memory and the melodrama of it lingers so that this time we don’t fall back into the slumber; so that this time we remain awake.

Create the space for release as the filament floats to the field of reflection and introspection. Large-standing change has been ordered and the shakedown of everything that’s created inhibition in moving forward has commenced.  The gateway to paradise has been guarded with gargoyles that have enlisted our fears and initiated the creation of a mounting psychological damn (ego interference).  But the levy has broken and now the waters flood forward and pollutants are flushed to the surface in order that we may purify and cleanse.

In cleansing is subtle discomfort.  But as we facilitate the breath to expedite the process and relax more fully into the consciousness we have claimed through our apprenticeship in self-mastery, we can step confidently into the light of our Being-ness and release the need to hide behind cracked masks and inner turmoil.  We can open to our greatness that lies within the cradles hands of potential, standing in our glory as we set aside the critical mass of resistance.

It is time for integration.  Time to walk the talk, to Be who we Are, and to step out onto the ice, even if filled with trepidation that it might crack beneath our feet.  Override doubt and align with the knowing that we do in fact have everything it takes to become completely connected with our highest potential, with our blessed inner-self, which will carry us forward in the direction of pure potentiality and peace.

And as we take flight, we will be showered with magical moments and wonder in turn, as the Universe bridges the gap between our truest heart’s desire and the manifestation of wildest dreams.  As we let go of what we’ve held tight to and step down from the platform of not-our-truth, the space created becomes filled with the unimaginable and the truest meaning of effortless co-creation becomes told.  We hold on out of fear of unknown, but as we release, we are shown that what’s been waiting for us all along and calls to us now to receive is completely within our reach( and that means setting down everything within our grasp -everything within our reality, and encompassing non-attachment and neutrality).  Then we can open our uncluttered arms (recently unburdened) to the everything that was previously unseen.

The seemingly unattainable is just a breath away.  Exhale the stale air and breathe deeply into a new reality that is yours for the taking when you step past the guard and breathe free. Deep breathes, strong inner knowing, and unlimited dreams to behold. This is the promise.  This is the product of the cleanse and the trademark of authenticity. Allow all to unfold as we follow our paths onward, creating evermore consciously in awareness of what strengthens us, mindful of what it means to be free.

Your evolution speaks. Listen to the calling and reach beyond where you’ve been so that you can embrace your fullest capacity.  You are greatness. Glory to you on high!

May your most blessed wishes come true!

In peace and Love

As the new year has dawned, so has the momentum to move forward. For those that find themselves at the peak of a crossroad, know that the most conscious of choices are those that are made lovingly with your heart’s agenda, rather than the consummation of your head. Know that the wisdom in creating positive choices is always within you, and remember that change creates uncertainty o purpose. It wants us to forget a bit of what we know in order to open up to a grander view.

This is an excerpt from a reading I did recently for a dear soul, and she has so graciously agreed to have it shared, as it offers great insight for many on their paths at this time. Take from it what you will, and know that, by far, the greatest mistake is being afraid to make one in the first place. Much love and happy New Year!!)

There are many paths laid out before you, and none of them is the ‘right’ one to behold.  The energy of the lesson at hand is not about making the right choice, it’s about allowing yourself to make a mistake  You would go round and round in a circle a million times, circling a question, rather than making the wrong choice.  This is what confines you- your fear of falling (from the graces), your fear of failing, of making a mistake.  There’s great rigidity that surrounds your heart as you fail to embrace your humanness.  And the course of many lifetimes plays out simultaneously (carrying the great burden of pain and grief) as you search for redemption, for meaning of life with wanted spiritual, yes with pseudo-spirituality, in your pursuit of peace.  You are wanting to graduate from this way of being, from this repetitive cycle of search and destroy.

But the riddle’s gone wrong, in your search to perceive and abandonment runs deep as you chase away despair in your decision making- questioning why you must do it alone and who will catch you if you fall.  The pressure is high to succeed.  It’s your perspective that needs shifting in order to further your quest.  It is not the answer that’s important, but the questions in which you believe.  Try to separate yourself from you wounding- generational and several lifetimes worth.  Doing it this way- the ‘right’ way with great emphasis you’ve placed.  Open to the possibility that there is no ‘right’ way, and that encroaching on the wrong does not mean you will be defeated.

It’s not so much for you about the flight, right now, as it is the fall.  Setting all perfectionistic tendencies aside, allow yourself to do the forbidden and color outside the lines.  Let yourself make a mistake.  Without this option, you cut yourself off from  instinct and the ability to choose.  It is your humanness, above all, that need be embraced.  It is a love for self that must fill your agenda, that must weigh in over self mastery.  It is you that must pick your self up off the ground when you have faltered, and your own unconditional love that will be the balm for your wounded knee.  You cannot move forward, and have not for many lifetimes, because you cling to the impervious, to the vision of greatness that excludes any chance of mistake.

Mistakes are pivotal rungs on the ladder of life, for they teach us as no other lesson can.  And they carry within them a critical component to wholeness- the ability to forgive and accept ourselves wholly, as flawed, as imperfect, as fractured, as frail.  We have to bring all of it forward, not just the ‘good’ parts, not just the shiny, but the everything.

And in this, in scooping up our wounded parts, our pieces that we’d rather turn our backs on or hide, we garner tenderness, compassion, and freedom from the need to pretend, to soldier, to hide- from ourselves, from the world.  We set down our weapons and forgo the need to fight.

Release the role of drill-sergeant and embrace that of gentle mother- embracing you completely, daring you to look at the dark places- which are not the wrong or the bad, but simply misunderstood or mistaken, and very much desiring love.

Through this you will gain clarity, you will derive peace.  And you will be able to touch on your passion, find your presence, and bring forward with power of love (rather than forced resistance) the fruits of your flowering tree.

Do not forsake the forest for the trees, widen the blinders so that you can se a choler picture, a fresh perspective.

There is great sadness derived from an inability to push forward time and again.  You find yourself weakened, disparaged, weary, and tired.  All of this you carry within your body, within your bones.  And there is a strong element that this is life or death-warrior must save the land.  But the land you’re defending must be released in order for you to reach your salvation.  You must lay down your arms and sit in peace.  ( Meditation will help with reframing your heart and guiding you to fresh perspective and clarity.)

The authority you need bring forward is not in configuring life or something out there or proving that you are right or good- it is in surrendering to the truth of what you’ve been, embracing, and then gathering the will to defeat your won limiting perspective.

If your foundation is not solid, it will crumble.  You have to tear down your castle before you can build the kingdom of your dreams. Your fear of failure inhibits your ability to succeed.

There is this Mother Mary aspect presenting for cleansing of judgment of self, of life, of others.  Distilling control and the need to know, as well as perfectionism as means of acquiring acceptance and love.  You cannot love or embrace another until you can fully love yourself. You cannot love your life until the love within encircles your own self. You no longer need to run or hide.  What your highest self wants for you is to stand still and be seen.  For you are the star of the ages.  The light within shines so brightly for all to see.  But will you continue to shelter it in the shadows or will you open to the gift of release?

~ ~ ~ ~

After relaying this information, we worked together on creating a better understanding of how these aspects had played out within the parameters of her life and how the energy blocks that ensued had limited her from the destiny she desired. I also facilitated some energy release work to help her let go of the outdated and painful ways of seeing and being that were inhibiting her from moving forward. So often these blockages are deeply embedded and very unconscious and create much confusion when we don’t realize that we live our lives based on their agenda. We become attached to them, and to a way of being, because it is comfortable or familiar, or because on some level, we feel it is our duty to carry on a certain through/emotion/behavior in honor of the generations before from who we’ve inherited it. By creating the space for fresh perspective and new awareness, we open not only to more possibilities, but also a way to move freely into the dimensions of what we long for, and a clear path to all that we previously couldn’t see. May you create new space and bring forward long-standing dreams in this new year, and in all the new years to come.  If you would like help in discovering greater awareness of your inner motivation- what stands in your way, as well as what desires to move forward- please visit me at awakeningthedivine.net and get a fresh start with your dreams.

Many blessings and abundant light,

Tune into your inner dash board and notice what is directing you. As the year comes to a close, we are being asked to relinquish what’s no longer working and to deconstruct what stands in our way. If we have not found alignment with our peace, the warning light will be alerting us to this indiscretion and the radar of our internal navigational system will be directing us in the way we need to go in order to bring old chapters to a close. Your radar will send you warnings in the form of unease. If you’re feeling out of sorts, it’s because you have business to attend to, and what’s been pushed aside or neglected can no longer be overlooked as your soul leads you further on the path of integration and closer to the highest truth of who and what you are meant to be. Irritation and anger are our guides right now.  Frustration is lending itself and it’s electrical current of unrest to get our attention and focus us in on what’s working and what needs to go.

How to shake it down….come closer.  That argument you’re having with yourself; that script you’re rehearsing; that tight grip of contention you’re holding onto for dear life- none of it gives you power.  You are not strengthening your resolve, or yourself, by splurging or overindulging in defense mentality.

But shutting it down, per se, doesn’t work either.  Just getting out of your head is a bit more complicated than it seems. Only though, until you realize how simple it can be.

Ok, so stay with me as I guide you through the steps.  First, you’re going to set up your awareness radar.  You’re going to notice frustration, irritation, and anger as a radar- an area of focus.  Next, bring consciousness to those areas of sensitivity so that you’re not reacting to the soarce and perpetuating the cycle.  If the fire alarm is going off, you need to investigate the situation. So, awareness-check.  Consciousness injected-check.  Now’s where you’re going to have to bring in a little self-discipline.

That story you’re telling- the one that doesn’t serve you, the one that’s bringing you pain- put it down.  Step away from the story. Notice your resistance to this  We hold on tight to this inner dialect and drama because we think (key word) that it’s going to show us the way to feel better.  We hold on because we believe that we need to defend ourselves if we’ve been wronged or misunderstood. We think we have to resurrect ourselves, right the wrong, balance the equation.

And some of this is right- to a degree.  We are not totally off the mark.  But our approach needs a little tweaking.  Let me offer you a fresh perspective.  Any pain within your being is alerting you to imbalance ( and yes, this includes discomfort).  This signaling, or alarm system, is alerting you, as king of the castle, to bring order to your realm.  We tend to react to these triggers, to freak out or run away.  Alternately, we’ll zoom in (real hard) on what’s troubling us, but end up spinning our wheels as we never move beyond the surface of the pain.

You have to move away from the source of your pain, distance yourself a bit, in order to go deeper.  Neutrality gives you perspective  in the higher sense), and allows you to be more objective so that you can turn off that damn fire alarm and bring to your kingdom order and peace.  That’s your job.  Become clear on that first.  Setting someone else strait, defending yourself, lashing out, withholding your love- al of the above are just a temporary fix created in defense.  They may serve to disengage the fire alarm temporarily, but they don’t put the core flame to rest.  You have to go to the source of the pain.  And the source of the pain is within you.  No one can trigger a reaction so deep that it sends you spinning unless there’s something within that needs resolve.  The source of your pain is not someone or something else.  The source of your pain is your story- the one you’ve been telling yourself.  The one that’s been bringing you pain.  And the only way to find peace is to put it down.

As angry or irritated as you may be at someone else- this isn’t about them.  They are simply a player.  They are simply pointing you back to what desires to be healed within you- to the warning light that’s blinking. Does knowing this lesson your grip any?

Here’s where integrity comes in.  Time to be honest with yourself.  Time to pull out of the tantrum in your head and look at it more clearly.  You have to let go of your belief in the story and the notion that it’s bringing you power in order to find real strength.  We hold on because we think it is charging us.  We think it is ammo.  And that argument we’re rehearsing in our head or that wrong we’re righting will become more potent the more it’s rehearsed.  Or so it seems. This is an old way of being- one we’re ready to leave behind (hence the discomfort).   How can I be so sure? – because I’m certain you’re ready for peace.

Here’s what you need to know, and this is the key- Retaliation and retribution will not take you where you need to go. Though they will promise to defend your honor and define your truth, they are mistaken.  Your truth is not found there, in defense of yourself.  Your truth is love, peace, and joy.  And your job is to align with that, at all costs.

The warning light sometimes serves as a distraction as we get lost in the details and fail to get the message.  And the message, if you listen closely, most often is that you’re out of alignment with you truth.  You are spindling into a much lower vibration because you’re ruminating in a story that no longer needs to be told.

So zoom in.  What’s the story?  What’s the theme?  And ask yourself from a heart place if it’s really true, if it’s really serving you.  Loosen the grip.  It may have been part of your identity until now, part of what you’ve played out and pretended to be (and you’ve done it well).  But it’s time to put it down now and become new.  Yes, it is that simple.  Be firm.  Let go.  And when you loosen the grip and watch it fly away, you’ll see beneath the surface.  You’ll see what it’s been showing you about who you’ve been.  You’ll recognize how you’ve played it out forever on the time table of your existence and how you’re ready to wipe that slate clean and really get to the core of your truth.

No more playing out karma.  No more living through the lens of drama (and really, that’s what this all is).  In letting go, you move forward, you fly higher, you realign with your true design.

Try it on for size.  The other way’s not working.  It’s dragging you down.  And maybe, just maybe, the lesson isn’t what you think.  If you haven’t found clarity or peace with a played out story so far, then come to it with a new perspective.  Release the need to hold tight and you will become lighter.  You will become clear.

Your story does not define you.  It confines you, and sentences you to certain death.  It’s a distraction and it keeps you from your peace.  From here on, you define what Is by realigning with your Truth (peace and love) and disengaging from any and all that is not that.
Have compassion with you and let it flow out to the players who brought things into focus.  Release them, release you, and move forward.  There you will find resilience to turn your back on what seems to be, and turn your attention to moving into a higher vibration.  (Actually this will happen for you just by creating the grace of letting it all go.)

The truth is so much bigger than what we could ever imagine and so much greater than what it’s been limited to through our current perspective.  Expansion means opening to that possibility and not needing to have all the answers, all the why’s and what’s, and not needing to seek justice.  Create the space for this expansion within your experience and you will find yourself floating away from your story and into greater ease.  Create a story defined by grace, ease, and peace and let the warning light direct you not distract you.  As you align with your true story, and integrate it into your being, you will cease to attract to your life a reflection of the old story that’s played out and it will quit coming up for review.

Be gentle with your self and open with a new way of being.Soon you will be free.

Great blessings to all,

~Rhonda

It’s been a year of growth and change.  And as we lean towards a new year that promises more of the same, it’s good to take a little inventory of what we’ve learned and the tools we’ve gathered along the way. The insights we’ve gained into ourselves and our world have served as valuable lessons. Nothing has been in vein. Along the way, we’ve gathered strength and we’ve acquired new ways of being that will continue to serve us as we become more of who we are. The new ways of being are tools, and the tools we’ve been harnessing could quite easily be considered virtues.  Virtues are proof of alignment.  They are attributes to our character which will heighten our experience as we move towards a life of greater peace.

So let’s take a peek at what we’ve gathered. A year in review…

We’ve climbed many mountains and weathered many storms. And through it all, we have delved deeper into what it means to be alive, divine, and on purpose. And though at times, we felt like we were in over our heads, there’s no doubt that at this point we are more.  By staying the course, we are coming into greater alignment and we are well on our way to the other side of the rainbow. As we’ve maneuvered through our journeys, searching for our Way Home, we’ve no doubt acquired, or have at very least begun to touch on the heart-based qualities that are helping us to become more complete.  We’ve discovered perseverance; embraced honesty as a way of life; pulled out unlimited supplies of courage; developed greater compassion; created pathways to faith; renounced obstacles to becoming one and allowed for loyalty.  And none of this could have been so without self-discipline.

Over and again, we have reclaimed our strength and resolve as we’ve tripped and fallen, certain we couldn’t go on, no less overcome the obstacles along our path of growth.  Time and again discovering what we were capable of achieving as we stepped into newness. And through this we’ve acquired perseverance- the ability to continue onward, to pick your self back up again in the face of defeat.
As we’ve become more truth-filled and have embraced more authentic ways of being, reaching ever more for alignment with essence and realizing that in doing so our reward is peace, we’ve come to a place of greater honesty, with ourselves and others. Becoming more clear and real about what works for us and doesn’t and learning to live more whole-heartedly from integrity.

Courage has been no stranger (though we don’t always give ourselves the credit we deserve) as we’ve been facing our shadows, overcoming old ways of being and continuing forward, even when faced with adversity.  For many, the journey has had everything to do with going toe to toe with fears and surmounting them one by one with bold acts of loving our selves forward, forgiveness, and changing the way that we ‘see’. Without courage, we would have given up long ago.

As we’ve opened our hearts that sometimes very much wanted to stay clamped closed, we’ve found new love for ourselves and our brothers and overall, a new way of being.  We’ve become gentler in this nature, less rigid in perspective and all the more open to receive. We’ve touched on the graces of compassion as a way of life and we’ve opened to the knowing that in many ways this aspect of love is undeniably the key.

Faith has been our foreground as we’ve reestablished our footing, overcoming self-doubt and wondering relentlessly in our times of darkness if there really was a reason to continue, if this process was indeed real, and above all, as we’ve bucked the limitations of separation, if we are indeed supported, surrounded, and celebrated by greater forces unseen.  As we’ve learned to allow and surrender, we’ve had to place our faith in a power beyond our own, let go of age-old control-mechanisms in place to keep us safe, and allow something more knowing and powerful to meet our needs.  We’ve also begun to trust in our own abilities to create fulfilling experiences by stepping aside from the outcome and honor a deeper knowing or belief in divine timing and not always knowing (or needing to know) the big picture, as not everything is as it seems.

Self-discipline. Garnering consciousness has meant breaking out of old patterns and unconscious responses and it’s meant holding ourselves responsible for the choices we make rather than continuing to let old programming play out out of habit.  We’ve had to break habitual patterns, become ever more aware of the consequences of our behavior, and hold ourselves responsible for our actions in order to break free of the chains that have bound us and the belief systems that made it hard to be in alignment.The pay back has been greater integrity, strength, and flexibility as we’ve embraced a more solid approach to life and a more conscious way of being.

We’ve had to remain true to an undying (though at times shaky) resolve to commit to the journey, to our selves, to our greater good, and to the shift of the whole.  We’ve chosen loyalty by knowing what we embarked on mattered, talking ourselves away from the defeat and ever reaching forward as we’ve gained greater awareness into our own truth, stronger allegiance to supporting our integrity, and determined to ‘stay the course despite the cost’ as we’ve shifted our perspective to incorporate Oneness, wholeness, and integration of All That Is and All that can be.

This year wouldn’t be what it was without resilience.  Allowing for the nature of the process as we’ve bounced back from seeming set-backs, ready to face the day new, ready to come to the page with fresh perspective, and determined to push forward in the birthing of our being, despite labor pains or slaying of illusions that kept us locked in worry, doubt or fear.  Time and again, we’ve popped our collective heads back out of the sand and have risen above whatever had seemed to bring us down, gathering up lessons, embarking on new territory, and all the while, becoming a brighter version through our strength and perseverance of what we originally knew ourselves to be.

Through the year and through the loving grace of where we’ve been and where we’re gong, there is overflow of what we’ve become. Virtues are acquired strengths, they are aspects of wisdom, and they are the gifts that you have given yourself by holding fast to the power of truth and love.  It is no small feat to have acquired these virtues or to have incorporated them into your life. Take your toolbox forward into the new season of your being, knowing that your blessings will be magic and that the more aligned you become, the more your success is guaranteed.

Blessed Be.

Lovingly yours,

Rhonda

Are you allowing the moment to guide you in the direction you need to go?

Choose action over reaction. Feeling guilt or regret?_ Do the thing you wish you would have. Now. Do it how you wish you would have.  Write a new page.  Extract the lesson, become responsible, take charge, and implement what you’ve learned.  Here you will find resolve.  Here that inner calling will be heeded. Chock one up on the scoreboard for conscious choices, for reflecting on your heart’s wisdom and following it.

This is what we’re being asked to do in these moments of growth- to walk the talk-to integrate the wisdom and live it.  This requires that we pause in our everyday experience and reflect on what is being requested of us.

As you lend yourself to the moment, you can better moniter your responses and refrain from frustration, anger, irritation, or conditioning,  You can begin to anchor into a new way of being without needing to defend your reactions or later contend with regret.

This means, and this is very important, that we become one with the moment, the present, the situation-whatever that may be.  Neutrality.  So if you’re feeling frustration, notice it. Be with it. Use your faculties to discern the bigger picture ( or wholeness of the situation ) and you will be able to come from an expanded place- which is what you desire anyways.  It’s just going to take some time, some retraining, as with any new way of being.
So incorporate your knowing, the tools you’ve garnered throughout the year. Incorporate awareness, so that you can operate from a broader view.  Factor in allowing, so that you can learn from what you’re feeling, from what’s presenting, and honor it and grow. Remember, resistance to resentment of what is only exacerbates the learning and holds it off for another day.  By avoiding what is, you’re avoiding the lesson and bloscking yourself from moving forward because you haven’t advanced to the next level of solving the clues.  Remember it’s all just a game, so try not to take yourself too seriously.  When contemplation comes to the plate, exercise compassion for yourself and override contempt for your seeming failure to ‘get’ what’s being presented.

Operating from a heart-place will take some adjustment and we will need to be patient and endearing with our souls as they shift out of the ancient embedded grooves and release into a fuller way of being.  Surrender daily, moment-to-moment, or as often as it takes.  Moving forward takes grace.  Afford yourself with the momentum that comes from simply being.  This is a vital aspect of co-creating.  When we allow our selves to step aside and let it be, et God, let go and lend to the unfolding of what Is by stepping out of the way and removing our resistance ( which sometimes comes from pushing too hard) and overextending, over-analyzing, or juicing it ( working it to death).
Presence.  If you’re here you’re clear.  And the next time the situation, or lesson to be learned, presents itself ( and it will until you learn it, or do it differently) you can be prepared and pro-active.  You can move it to a place of smother operation and facilitation of life experiences rather than feeling like you’re continually caught off guard.

Expect a ripple.  As we shift in our experience, the experience of those within our world will shift as well.  We’ve heard this often, but what we fail to remember or realize is that the impact plays out in certain ways.

So as you dislodge in preparation for experiencing the new, and experience emotional outbursts and physical symptoms- so too will others in your world.  Know that their own individual expression of this is unique, though often a reflection of the shift you’re mastering, it’s important to honor and respect their expression and hold compassion (avoid reaction) as they too find their way through.  This is part of supporting the whole.  And as we usher in awareness of this process and bring consciousness to the ripple of our effect, we will begin to see how our environment is seeking to match the vibration of our awakening, and we can further ease the duration and confusion of what they’re experiencing and absolve ourselves from re-learning lessons we’ve learned but are just needing to put into play.

Much of what we’ve learned simply needs to be integrated and acted on.  A lot of the ‘lessons’ playing out are more about teaching us to reflect on what we know and put it to use in our experience.  We’ve come too far not to be who we are.  And part of what we are is the combined lessons of our experiences.  So reach deeper- into your beingness.  Relearn how to live from consciousness and discover that your progression into a life of joy is only about opening to the tools that you’ve excavated along your way and executing the master status that you’ve tasted from time to time.  It’s about going from temporary to permanent.  From knowing to being.  Wear the new hat with confidence.  Absolve yourself from not being able to achieve.  Bring presence to your moments and integrity to your choices, and great momentum you will see. There’s freedom in finding a happy medium- balance is always the key. Acclimating to what’s becoming new in your life by leaving behind and detaching from what doesn’t serve you.

Shalom, bringer of peace. Invoke love as your compass, and from karmic retribution you will be set free. Be sovereign in your shift, heart-based in your life, and resolute in your conviction to break free of anything and everything that serves to hold you back from fully embracing your greatness. Become a master of your experience by mastering the tools that you have gathered and stepping fully into the moment of your now.

Be the fullness and truth of who you are and bring it to everything that you do.

Many blessings,

Rhonda

And for those who stand on the threshold, wondering if this time those doors to the past will close, and if this time, you will finally find your way home, I tell you now to sink into your heart and love you there.  Love you through this moment in the matrix of your becoming, because that light you’ve been searching for, that joy you’ve been told of, is what waits for you within the bubble of your love.  And it’s the very thing that will save you from your self.

This time is that of long-winded story telling as the sagas of your identity roll out into clearer view of consciousness.  And it is for you, dear ones, to decide if these are indeed the stories you cherish most.  When you find yourself replaying such messages again and again for review, take heed, for there is a moral to the story.  And that moral, quite simply, is whether or not you want to continue to replay this tale in your life, as your point of view, as your opinion of yourself or of others.  And you have everything within you to walk out on that story right now, if you will open yourself to the obvious and wipe away the unclear.    The only thing left to learn is whether or not you’re ready to put it down and let it go.

It’s interesting to discover just how attached you may have become to a recurring theme or a harsh judgment.  Think of one thing within your realm that you’ve held fast to and ask in this moment if you question it’s validity.  Question from  a heart-based perspective.  And then ask yourself what you need to do to be free of that limiting belief or way of being.

Decide if it couldn’t be as simple as a choice- a choosing to become more, to expand, to outgrow, to leave behind what no longer fits.  And if this is truly your heart’s desire, then you can back it with your integrity.  You can support your forward movement by drawing the line and deciding, making a conscious choice, not to cross it- by declaring that you’ve crossed to the other side- to the side of completion.

Once you make this declaration of peace within yourself, this resolution to resolve rather than regret where you are or where you’ve been, you create the space for all possibility and are no longer disabled by the boundaries of what’s been. You become free to move within the cabin of your creation, no longer harassed by the ghosts of who you’ve been.

So, as the spirits of your beliefs and experiences arise, rather than fear their presence, know that they are meant to be put to rest.  But first, as with any soul, the soul of all of the songs you have sung or were meant to sing, must be released.  For as long as you hold tight to a truth (or a glimmer of a life) within that aspect of you, as long as you resist it’s passage and try to keep it alive, you will struggle with a feeling of being caught between worlds.

Let go and allow for the release of what remains and needs to go.  Allow yourself to open to the next window of opportunity.  It is all in perfect order and perfectly divine.  Be blessed in your next endeavors.  Be loved by yourself above all.  And be courageous, for this is your time of glory.

You must ask yourself what has held you back and continues to stand in the way of your bliss.  What’s not working? If you’re tending to wallow in reflection of what’s been or swallowed by guilt or despair, it’s time to recognize the opportunity to stop the ride and get off.  It’s only making you dizzy. Swimming in your thoughts and paralyzed by what’s not working doesn’t serve you.  As long as you are submerged in what’s not (working), you fail to see what is.

When we bring this current repetitive lesson  (train of though) to a close, to an end, at whatever cost, at whatever mustering of strength, will, self-love, we will be delivered into the opening and new beginning- the release we so long for ( and God knows, we deserve!)

A particularly difficult lesson that we have been schooled in is to be more conscious in our choices.  And as we have asked to become more conscious, we have been given many circumstances in which we could choose from a higher place.  Many times, we have stumbled and fell and the lessons became painful, as in the aftermath we would be submerged in the review which became a maze (and a madness) of regret, guilt, and frustration with ourselves for not getting it right).  All of which, at times, felt completely consuming, and for many, not reflective of where we felt we should be on our path. We felt we had grown and resented the ‘drop back’ into these ‘lower’ emotions.  We sought to distract ourselves so as not to feel them, and consequently, we failed to get the lesson one more time.  When we embrace the lesson, extract it’s essence, and choose to move into the present with resolve, when we say to ourselves “Ok, I get it, I’ll be more aware. I’ll take the time to be more mindful in my decisions rather that react based on old beliefs that were running my way of being”, we can stop dancing in circles and revisiting the same old pain.

On so many levels, we continue to give away our power in pursuit of approval.  And for many, this is such a long-standing conditioned response. Most often, we fail to have compassion with our selves each time we choose ‘automatically’, in favor of what we ‘should’ be doing rather than following our hearts.  And even though we know the lesson, we continue to react in these moments again and again the same old way.  Each time, becoming more painful.  At some point, we began to realize that we can’t afford to do it that way anymore.  But to shift to ‘Organic Choices’, choices that come from an intentional, conscious, place, we have to bring that awareness into the present, into the moments of growth where we can choose to do it differently.  This means becoming mindful, becoming present, so that when the lessons do present, we can stop, drop (into your heart and allow it to advise you rather than respond via autopilot, a.k.a age-old conditioning), and roll with the situation in a forward movement rather than create another opportunity to learn the same old thing again.

Reflections of what needs to go are teaching us, not torture, when we step out of the emotion and into conscious awareness of what’ s being presented.  Everything’s a gift.  These things are not a measure of who we are.  They are a measure of where we are on our path, and of what we want to dislodge, transmute, transform-in order to go further, higher, and obtain peace.

Many blessings to you, dear ones. Ascend in grace and live from your heart!

Love,
~Rhonda
