Choose to Walk in the Light

Posted on April 29, 2013February 17, 2022 by Debra Taitel

Every day of your life you have the option to walk in the light or to take cover and hide amidst the shadows of darkness. Walking in the light doesn’t mean there are no challenges and everything is perfect. It means you choose to face your outer challenges by looking into your deepest darkest self to heal from the inside out.

When you walk in the light you must face your fears, uncover what is hidden and strive to ask questions which lead you to a deeper understanding of yourself. It takes courage and strength to truly walk in the light for you must forgive yourself for past choices and transgressions which you might not want to acknowledge. Walking in the light is much more than just ‘deciding’ you will be happy at any given moment because that moment will pass and then what? Your decision to be happy is a good one and is the start to shifting your energy but once that moment has passed if you haven’t uncovered and let go of what is deeply hidden you once again find yourself staring into the darkness.

Walking in the light means you are choosing to see yourself and at times you may feel vulnerable because as you shine your light others can see you. There is no hiding in the light. You cannot hide from yourself and you cannot hide from others. When you walk in the light you are choosing to boldly be yourself and show others who you really are without fear of being judged, ridiculed or invalidated. This is probably the hardest thing to do. We all want to be liked, loved and accepted and there are times we choose to walk in someone else’s darkness lest we shine our light too brightly when they are hurting or going through a challenging time.

As you walk in the light there are times you will feel alone and isolated but this is not because you are alone; You are NEVER alone. It is because as you clear out the old and transition to the new you need time to reflect and process. Do not resist what you are feeling and never give up. This is precisely the time to bring in the universal energy of love and forgiveness. There are many others who choose to walk in the light and the brighter your light, the more you will attract others who are doing the same.

When you choose to walk in the light you are consciously choosing to generate energy instead of constantly responding to the energy of others. You are choosing to forge a path and illuminate it with your vibrancy. You are choosing to stop blaming, judging or thinking you are better than others because those vibrations come from the ego self not the true essence of spirit.

Walking in the light is a path of self discovery and no one else can do it for you. In fact it is not about anything that comes from outside of you. Walking in the light comes from the inside. It is about you shining from within so brightly that your path is clear to you. Walking in the light is choosing is choosing to honor YOU and your own light.

Honor and behold the divinity in you and others. Allow your light to shine from within and illuminate your path. Choose light over darkness. I choose to walk in the light. Won’t you join me?~Shine Your Light Debbie

Spiritual Identity Crisis? It’s more common than you think….

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Debra Taitel

Why is it we seem to like placing definitions on things? Maybe it’s simply to give us a common word to describe a person, place or thing or maybe it’s how we try to make sense of an ever-changing world. What was once acceptable is now no longer “PC” (politically correct) and so we change the words we use to define those things and hopefully clear any negative energy or judgement which somehow became attached.

Definitions have a tendency to put you into “group” and do not honor the unique person you are. When you strongly identify with a “group” you tend to take on the energy and it is possible to lose a bit of your unique divine energy which exists separate from that group in the process. It’s not a bad thing to be a part of a group but it’s important to know yourself and not let it overshadow who you are as spirit. If you begin to judge those not in the group that is a sign you’ve lost your space to the group energy!

Who, what or how do you identify yourself? Is it words you identify with? Do you identify with a word someone else placed upon you? Does a “group” define you or do you identify most strongly with the spiritual part of you?

As we make the shift from an egocentric, entitled, body based world into a more spiritual realm many people stand at a crossroad as they clear how they view themselves and live their lives. What once seemed important now takes a back seat as they rediscover spirit. When body based energies and lies are released everything is questioned and those energies coming out seemingly create a whirlwind of chaos and drama. Inner journeys are very much like the blooming of a rose. As they are nurtured and nourished by light, earth and rain they slowly open until finally in full bloom; but keep in mind as the rose blooms the delicate petals are exposed to the elements and they open layer by layer. 🙂

Awakening to yourself as an eternal spirit and blooming is not easy because as you do you must take responsibility and ownership of the energies you matched and what or who you identified with in the past. Having a spiritual identity crisis is you beginningto make separation with all that is NOT you. If you’ve taken on an identity based on someone else’s perception of you, when you finally awaken to who you really are it feels a bit like your life is unraveling one thread at a time. The good news is you slowly begin to see and know the truth.

Here’s some food for thought to meditate on: Maybe transformation isn’t really transformation at all. Maybe it’s more about you returning to the truth of who you are as an eternal spirit in a human body. Maybe all you need to do is recognize your own vibration and bring more of it in. Maybe the crisis isn’t a crisis. Maybe it’s your energy shining so brightly you find yourself fixated on all that is NOT you as it clears. When you connect with your own spiritual essence and truly identify with spirit, life will still have its ups and downs but darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. Maybe all of this isn’t about transformation after all….maybe it’s about returning to spirit and living a spiritual life full of love, passion and the knowledge you are eternal.~Shine Your Light Debbie
