Lesson 292: Sweep Your Way To a Solution

“I want to be with this moving on, moment to moment...”

— Gunilla Norris, Being Home

Today is to think about something in your life that may be rattling you or making you feel stuck. The idea today is to pick up a broom for a minute and sweep a room. The idea is to invoke a fresh start and clear the path for a solution. It will create mindfulness and calm your mind.

This is something that’s actual down in witchcraft and I realise the benefits. We make besoms aka brooms, that help in the ways of protection but they can be used to sweep away stagnant energy through intention. It’s a good way to move about the energy in your home and have you focus on something else to free your mind.

Sometimes in the simplest of tasks is where you gain moments of clarity. What have you got to lose really?

Day 292 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - The Other Entities...

Lesson 292: The Other Entities...

“The other entities that cross path in our layers and levels of consciousness don’t have the human experience. They see all past, all future, all as energetic. They see contraction and expansion of energy, beyond particular experience.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about what an entity such as an ascended master, an angel, a guide etc would view the human experience. What would their thoughts be? Do you think they could handle being a human? Are there things that they would want to change?

I actually had a moment of guidance from some higher beings the other day. They were telling me that we tend to shroud this world with darkness upon darkness rather than shedding the light on situations. It’s something that sort of plagues the human experience but not for everyone. There are being here awakened and trying to spread the light and it’s about everyone being touched by this light. We don’t have to be negative but it’s like this vicious cycle that spreads throughout society. For example as a woman, there is so much standards when it comes to beauty – you aren’t skinny enough, you aren’t beautiful if you don’t wear this dress, if you don’t have a thigh gap, then you’re not sexy, if you don’t have a curvy booty than you’re not a real woman etc. Some may be over exaggerations but that’s an example of the negativity our society creates through unrealistic expectations we place on each other. Why can’t all women just be considered beautiful? Why do we have to comment on them at all?

Another message that was prevalent through my channelling was to do away with ego. Think about all the ego in the world. If we didn’t have this, what would the world be like? I think human ego is what tears us down. It’s our weakness. It stops us from having compassion. We are judgmental because we have ego. We don’t necessarily form connection because of ego. Those in power exercise ego that also controls us. I think any of those entities would want us to do away with ego because it doesn’t actually serve us. We should be doing much more to be kind and helpful towards one another. I think there can be such destructive behaviour with our ego and when we do away with it, it’s like the blinders will be off.

I think the human experience is a challenge that we place on ourselves. Whether or not an entity wants to understand or accept it, is a whole other question. I think they would want to spread light so people can awaken to themselves.

Day 291 - A Year to Clear - Be Patient

Lesson 291: Be Patient

“Dear sir, Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now see the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. Perhaps you do carry within yourself the possibility of shaping and forming as a particularly happy and pure way of living; train yourself to it — but take whatever comes with great trust, and if only it comes out of your own will, out of your inmost being, take it upon yourself and hate nothing. . .”

— Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet. Translation by M.D. Herter Norton. New York: WW. Norton & Company, Inc., 1954

Today we are to contemplate the words of poet Rainer Maria Rilke. It serves as a reminder to relax on what you need to know.

I definitely have accepted that I do not need to have the answers to everything. I think I used to be quite impatient and would like to know the answers to everything, but I like to live with a bit of mystery in life. I don’t need to control every situation which I believe is part of impatience. If you let things be, they will work out the way it’s supposed to. You continue living without having the answers to everything. You can still make decisions and life continues on. It’s about acceptance that sometimes things are outside of your control whilst others aren’t. You don’t stop living just because you don’t have an answer to your life. Sometimes it’s all about trust and letting go to let the Universe unfold it for you. We just need a reminder from time to time.

Day 291 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - We Do Not Fear Death...

Lesson 291: We Do Not Fear Death...

“We do not fear death; we fear the end of this lifetime. The souls we have met, the great feast of experiences we have enjoyed; these have challenged us, taught us, filled us up. This particular life time is overwhelmingly beautiful.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about the gift of being human and write down 10 ways that reflect that.

I believe in these 10 gifts of being human:

·         We live to experience from all situations both big and small

·         We get to learn what love is

·         We get to establish true connection

·         We live and learn

·         We see how other people and cultures live

·         We always have unique experiences through our own perspective

·         We get to establish our own journey and steer our own ships

·         We can touch other people’s lives like how we touch theirs

·         We get to share experiences with loves ones in our life

·         Life is what we make it

That was actually harder to think about than I thought it would be.

What do you think is so special about our human life?

Day 290 - A Year to Clear - Be With Not Knowing

Lesson 290: Be With Not Knowing

Sometimes things in life don’t make sense. Sometimes we feel like we can’t figure things out so situations feel unresolved. Sometimes we are just boggled and can’t find the right answer. Today is about being okay with discomfort. That in the discomfort of not knowing, that we can find clarity as it will also reveal itself. What’s something that has been providing discomfort lately or an issue occurring in your life that you don’t really understand why?

For me, I think that the major thing that has brought questions of why, is my mum telling me she has a growth in her breast. I find out soon if it’s cancer. I have been trying to process it. It’s one of those things that you don’t wish upon anyone, especially someone you love, but it’s a part of life. I had a good cry and let the emotions flow through me. What makes me uncomfortable at the moment is the waiting game of further tests to confirm. The wait is the shittiest part of all of this.

What it has allowed me to think about is why it’s important to allow challenges in your life to flow through you. Get upset, take the time to process and then think about the way to move forward. What it teaches me is not to wallow and allow my emotions to consume me. I believe that it’s about embracing the discomfort and learning from it. There may be roller coaster moments of emotion during these challenges, but that’s all part of building resilience. We become strong through things we haven’t faced before – sometimes because we have to. I think it’s important to not solely face on what’s going wrong, but what positive thoughts and actions I can bring to the situation. It’s about how we overcome adversity and how that experience can assist another.  Sometimes it’s just about having to think bigger than ourselves.

Did you find clarity within something in your life this week?
