“The more we speed up, the more reality slows us down. However, circumstances prevent us from retreating.”~Leo Horoscope by Jeff Lawler

On my journey of healing I seek to find answers in all that I see and experience. Lately I’ve looked at the energy of those dreams I wish to manifest and the “fantasies” or illusions which hold my attention and take up the space where my REAL dreams could manifest IF there was a space for them. As I read the words from my horoscope (quoted above) it occurred to me what a great answer they hold.

In spirit there is no time or space and during this time of rapid shifting of energies, it may feel like reality is slowing us down or nothing is happening. We may be feeling stuck, stagnant or as if for every two steps forward we are pulled four steps back. Let me assure you nothing is further from the truth! There is truth in the words “the more we speed up, the more reality slows us down” and I don’t know about you but I’ve felt the effect of those words for some time. Everything is in motion, I feel like I’m moving forward then WHAMO the energy hits and it feels as if wasn’t going anywhere after all or more to the point, it feels like I was yanked back to square one. I’m sure at one time or another you have experienced your own version of what I described.

Is ‘reality’ really slowing you down?

As with all things to do with energy and healing there are several explanations for what you are feeling. The meaning for each of us will be completely different. One person might be experiencing control energy. For another it might mean there is more to heal before they can take their step. Regardless of the meaning it’s important to know what is really happening; You are growing and changing as spirit which knows no time yet your body exists in time and needs time to catch up! It’s not that you’re slowing down as much as you are incorporating and integrating the spiritual changes into your body. When you feel a slow down or you get hit with a massive growth period as more energy clears there is often a tendency to go into resistance to the slow down itself. It’s important to remember that any time you go into resistance you really will slow the process and possibly get stuck in it.

Go With the Flow!

Time is an illusion created by man. What’s the rush? If you are in a place of feeling like you’re not moving but you are meditating, releasing, taking the steps to heal, and grow and expand as spirit with the intent of bringing it into the body; Instead of focusing on the delay, shift your focus to the small things that are moving you toward manifesting your goal. Shift your focus to the space you are creating for yourself with all the release. Allow the growth period that comes along with any and all growth to simply BE. Notice it without resistance and begin validating yourself for the steps you are taking. That small shift in focus helps to clear the resistance to any delay.

When you are doing spiritual work you cannot take back or retreat from what you put in motion. It doesn’t always feel good but know this; The moment you find that uncomfortable place you are in EXACTLY the right place to heal it and create space for your “reality” to change. Is it reality really slowing you down or are you in a growth period? Is your reality really reality or merely an illusion of time?~Shine Your Light Debbie

In life there are events that have a profound transformational effect on our lives. It could be an illness/disease, an injury, an accident, sudden death of a loved one, a major upheaval or uncovering truth about a person, a relationship or situation. Often times these events are traumatic and take years to recover from and heal.

The tendency when a major event happens is to ask ‘how did’ or ‘why did’ this or that happen. Sometimes we dwell on it or become a victim to it and other times we pack it away and ignore it altogether because we are just trying to put the pieces back together, make sense of it all and return to a ‘normal’ life.

It’s important to remember that the cathartic events in our lives are pivotal and lead to true healing and transformation. These events hit so hard that you have no choice but to open your eyes to the fact that you will no longer be able to live your life ‘business as usual’. They cause you to change direction and more often than not this reality shift is very positive even if it doesn’t feel like it while you are going through it.

Once you have acknowledged and accepted what has happened and you begin to see the ‘light at the other end of the tunnel’ it is time to embrace and honor the enormity of what you just went through. Letting go and then taking back your energy and power is only a part of the healing process. Honoring that you’ve just been through something, allowing yourself to process and feel your feelings about it is just as important as letting go and moving on!

It’s not so much about honoring the experience in detail but that you’ve actually come through something SO big that it rocked your world to the very core. This is precisely the time to be extra gentle with yourself, rest and meditate more. You may need to forgive yourself if you blame yourself and think it’s your fault for not being able to control the situation or that you somehow could have prevented it from happening in the first place.

Cathartic events are gifts! They open your eyes and make you realize what is really important to you! They offer you a chance to see with clarity how strong you are! They give you the opportunity to know you can persevere, change and heal those things which you have control over; Your energy, your thoughts and how you live your life.

If you are in the middle of one of these major life changing events remember that it’s always darkest before the dawn and this too shall pass. Once it has passed, honor that what you’ve been through has forever effected and changed your mind, body & spirit. Decide to move forward with renewed strength, fortitude and the knowledge you’ve just received!~Shine Your Light Debbie
