Transitions: Releasing
by Karen

Copyright © 2008
Transition is the process of changing
from one state or condition to another. In some sense we are always in
transition, whether it's obvious change that occurs in our life or less so like
the smooth movement of one season to the next. This in fact places you in
transition for most of your life as you grow from one state to another
continually.
Transitions are never to be feared:
they are actually to be coveted. Whether they come with sorrow and pain or
laughter and joy, they always allow you to remain in the full spectrum of change
and evolution.
Change does not always have to come
dressed in crisis or chaos; change can come in lightly and we can learn to
embrace it since it is a constant companion on our path. As you transition
from one moment to the next, one day to the next, one year to the next, it can
bring with it monumental change and a shifting of consciousness that you have yet
to experience..
Each transition will bring you closer
to the ideal goal of embracing freedom in your life and the freedom within
yourself.
LOSS
When we lose something we gain something else. Be it an experience, a
person, or an expansion defining our own characters. Whenever there is a
closing there is always an opening: one cannot survive with the
other, it is just so.
When I lose something no matter how
trivial or deeply heartfelt, it cannot simply be replaced by putting something
else in that exact space or form. When I lose something it creates a
vacuum, a hole of sorts, and you must allow the energy to define and create
itself and allow something else to take its place.
This cannot be a forced or
calculated movement. There is an organic flow to developing a new
passageway for the energy to express itself.
CHOICE
So what has gone before cannot be created again. That energetic makeup
still exists and co-exists with you. No matter how much you want it, you
cannot and must not attempt to create that same energetic signature. It is
time to honour and release any holds that exist.
The pain that you feel is frequently
rooted in an overabundance of will wanting the universal blueprints to submit to
your own will and desires. Frequently at these points our own vision is
crippled by the need of keeping everything in a status quo type of world order.
We are yet unable and unwilling to
release our own very human needs and accept the ultimate world order which has
been put in place to be of service to all. Although part of you might feel
there was some incompetence at play, for surely you understand and know how
things work for your best order. There is a strong need to befriend and
allow yourself to release, and in time, accept this new order.
This is where the freedom lies, not
in the safety and security of things rendered and belonging in the past.
Those things still exist and still take form, but now dwell entirely in other
shapes and other realms. The relationship continues it has just expanded
beyond the limitations that reside here for us who dwell in this physical realm..
Without a doubt you must allow the
energy to come together in its typical 'scientific' fashion and quite magical
disposition and .create an entirely new crystallized formation to come into
existence.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
There are so many who are consciously or unconsciously clinging to fragments in
their past. They believe they are moving forward and have yet to
understand why it is so difficult and sometimes such an arduous path to move
even a few steps ahead.
Why is their journey being barricaded
or taking so much effort for so little end results? And once they get
beyond the drama and the scenario 'it is not to do with me it is to do with
them' thinking process, they still have difficulty in seeing it's
what they're unconsciously holding onto at some level of the mind. The act
of refusing to let go of what is creating the chaos or turbulence they're now
experiencing is preventing them from moving forward.
THE BIG PICTURE
You begin by starting to release the resentment which feels, at times, like
you're being forced to release it anyway...resentment at those around you, at
your higher power, at the universal structures, and even at yourself for needing
to hold onto the old and much cherished energy.
You're looking to create a new way of
moving ahead. You understand what you're doing is not working. You
are starting to get the bigger picture: you just don't always understand
what the steps are or in what order they need to occur.
Nothing is ever forced. There
is sometimes a pre-designed rhythm to the movement of the energy. We do
not always see the bigger plan, and as we continue to evolve sometimes we get
out of sync, and it takes a while for our very human hearts to catch up with our
spiritual consciousness or vision.
No one ever said they
mystic's road would be easy, but it is always without a doubt
interesting and expansive.
