Everyday is an opportunity to say Thank You.
Thank you sunrise. Thank You Body.
Thank You breath in my lungs.
Thank you for the love in my life.
Thank you for the lessons… ahhhha… this one… this one can be tough.
This is where we may start to feel our edges, and want to retreat, retract or run in the opposite direction.
Meeting our lessons, our edges, requires faith, sometimes leaps of faith, great patience, and compassion. Without the willingness, we may continue to loop, spiral and repeat experiences where we are being prompted to meet our shadow and hold ourselves accountable, but instead, choose to abandon avoid, suppress, repress or bypass.
That prickly edge you’re meeting is hinting to your soul it’s time level up, and that there is medicine here for you. Whatever you’re facing in that discomfort, it is here to teach you something, (sometimes for what seems the 100th time) to facilitate your growth and ultimately INTERGRATE the lesson you are here to learn.
The lessons, the challenges, the things we want to avoid, and lean away from — are all here to expedite our evolution.
You are already whole. If you’re moving through something right now, it’s gonna be ok. But by getting honest about it, and asking yourself if you’re meeting the edge, or perhaps choosing to hold back from expressing as only you are here to do.
We all have muck to move through, karmas to burn, and we all make mistakes. How you choose to hold on to the stories and patterns that are providing you the opportunities to grow, will only slow your process of expansion.
Don’t worry, your expansion is inevitable… but it’s only by letting things contract, die, and drop out that your transformation,re-generation + blossoming can occur.
Tis the season of shadow + alchemy. Lean into the lessons, my love. Love yourself at the edge + take the leap of faith with the gratitude you get to choose in favor of your evolution.
Need tools, community, or guidance on moving through it all?
I’m here for you, my inbox is always open to explore how I can support you in your unique essence.
love, SJ
