Acceptance

Clearly what is meant to be IS.
The peace is always in that.
Gangaji

Over the past four months, the healing and learning process for me has come in thick and fast – But who am I to complain – when Archangel Azrael held his hand out to me before Christmas and asked “Are you ready” –my reply was “yes.”

I have learnt that although I had an essence of “self love” for myself, there was not an element of nurturing – of being my own mother. The gift of a baby, however brief that visit was, taught me this – an awareness of foods, an awareness of when my body needed to rest, the gift of fresh flowers by my bed, listening to soft, sweet music – I became my own mother. I loved parts of my body as never before – so much so that my hips and thighs seem to have taken a more fuller shape *smile* – And so the wounded child within felt safe to reveal herself and speak.

The rest we have already spoken of and I thank you with all my heart for listening to my words. To speak out to you and receive so much love and support back, was part of my greatest healing. I am blessed to have you all in my life as in return I pray my sharing of lessons over the past four years has blessed you.

The next step following “speaking out” I believe is the key I have been waiting for. A key that has removed the layers that no longer fit but also unlocked doors that have revealed such wonderful treasure.

The key is Acceptance.

The little girl who still hid away inside of me , all those years ago had took herself out of her body and denied all that was happening to her and around her. That denial remained within her for the next thirty odd years. A pattern of - any pain, hide it, deny it.
A pattern of not accepting any life situation that appeared “bad” or threatening – hide it – deny it.

Until now!! No sooner had I accepted the past and all that the “little girl” had to show me – with no ifs, buts or maybes, no excuses, no analysis, no who’s fault it was … I was given freedom!

It is no use to deny a situation or to fight against – what IS, be it current or past. The energy through the denial or even struggle against what IS, will only cause the current situation to last longer, creating a feeling of “no way out”, no clarity, no hope, no change. The cycle of life will not be able to move to the next cycle because there is no acceptance of what IS.

If it is non – acceptance from the past, it becomes an energy blockage resulting in constant patterns in your life of situations or people that bring out those same denied feelings. And they will come up again and again and again...

By accepting a life situation you are not “giving up” or blessing bad actions or behaviour of others or the situation you see as negative and painful - lack of money, stagnant career, relationship friction … BUT neither are you denying they DO exist be it in your past or your present. You are simply accepting what IS.

Life is a cycle of ups and downs. Everything and everyone has a cycle – the rotation of the planet, nature, the seasons, crops, the ocean, women, interest rates, businesses, the stock market – all have a high, all have a low.

We need the low to rest, to bring forth change, to discover what we do want to feel, have and experience. The lows will come making way for the new – no matter what. Even the rich, the wealthy and the most enlightened masters experience a “low”.

All lows bring a high and if you stop for a moment and be honest with yourself, you will see that at the end of your darkest times there has then been great light.

The high times, the great times move fast, they simply flow – they are joyfilled moments. The low times can move just as fast, if there is acceptance of what IS.

The low times linger because people either completely deny it is happening or allow themselves to get “wrapped up” in the negativity of it all – the drama, the discomfort, the want for something better. There may be a battle of trying to find solutions to solve this low time rather than letting it flow. Your mind may become obsessive about “the problem” and see this as your identity. This is the ego at work not your Higher Self. This is often when illness creeps in, even depression, literally forcing you to rest, to restrain you from action, so that you stop “doing” and just let life be.

We all know that if you fight against something or force a situation, it will just grow in energy from this power struggle. Mother Therese is often quoted as she stated that she would not “walk” against war but she would “walk” for peace.

And denial will just leave it stagnant in your body to feed an old pattern or even create a new one.

The sooner you accept what IS, the sooner you will receive peace, clarity and guided action. You will have entered the moment and allowed yourself to flow with life. You will have freedom from time and be ready to move on to the next cycle.

Just sit for a while in this already perfect world – the blue skies, the rich grass, the warm sun – Mother Nature just simply flowing with life, in and out of the different cycles as they come and go – no attachment, no denial, no struggling or force. Just divine, peaceful, acceptance.

Those childhood memories that were denied and so deeply hidden from the truth – have now been remembered, accepted, forgotten and let go of. My present is healed from the past and my future is freedom.
