Women who are on the path of growth tend to go through intense phases.
One moment we are in our sweet spot, feeling aligned, attracting our desires towards us with magnetic ease.
Then the ease begins to slip, we find ourselves feeling tense. The magic isn’t flowing and we wonder “what is wrong”?
Perhaps at some point that “non-ease” might spiral down in a deep depression-like funk that has us feeling edgy, stretched, anxious or utterly exhausted for days on end.
These phases of growth can have us experiencing bipolar-like swings in energy, emotions and state of mind.
For the uninitiated or unguided this unstable state can quickly blow out to overt-anxiety or overt-depression.
So naturally many of us fear these phases of growth.
We resist or ignore them.
We lie to ourselves and pretend everything is okay (when it’s really not).
We find it hard to surrender to the less-than-perfect phases of our spiritual growth.
As the year comes to an end I, like many women, am both reflecting and getting prepared for 2017.
2016 is and has been an EPIC year of growth for me personally and professionally. The level of investment in myself (living in over 6 countries), my relationship (asking the man to move to Australia), business (spending over 5 figures in professional & spiritual development) and audacity sometimes had me questioning my own sanity….
I’ve experienced more periods of non-ease than ever before in my life – because my soul has placed me on a rapid trajectory of growth (as has yours).
You & I both know when we wake up and begin to search for something “more” in our life, our leadership, our love – our soul begins to whisper.
She whispers sweet feelings, knowings and insights of our souls’ truth.
She whispers pleasure is productive…
She whispers surrender to my plan…
She whispers you are incredible…
Yet after years, and lifetimes, and generations of NOT surrendering to her whispered guidance, our habitual mind takes over and responds with…
… ignoring pleasure in favour of working hard
… ignoring divine timing in favour of control
… ignoring surrender in favour of fear & doubt
… ignoring abundance in favour of counting the pennies and wondering how will this work?!
We all know this state of being. Where the soul whisper is there (even if faint) but we can’t quite find the way to embody it and trust it fully.
The more I hear my soul’s whispers the more I see how absolutely critical our physical body and nervous system are in embodying & living our souls’ wisdom.
When our nervous system and body is soft, open, receptive and in a state of flow – we receive our soul guidance with incredible ease. It can make its way through us, into our reality.
Soul > Nervous System > Body > Reality
In theory this system is great: Open the nervous system and body to receive your soul and manifest it here.
In reality I, like you, have years and generations and lifetimes of disempowered habits that also live in my nervous system and body…
When our soul alignment meets these disempowered habits within the nervous system and body – war breaks out, tension builds, tightness develops and frustration sets in.
It’s the phase of our spiritual growth that is that non-ease, deep depression-like funk that has us in a state of feeling stretched.
It’s not fun.
But it is essential.
And it doesn’t mean you are broken.
You are not broken if you are not embodying your soul’s wisdom with radical ease right now.
You are not broken if you are taking a while to integrate the upgrade.
You are not broken if you are (still) living a disempowered habit.
But perhaps you are reading these words because – like me – you are ready to lose the struggle.
I know when I resist the pain in my neck (literally) there is no chance for it to loosen up and be liberated from the system.
I know when I ignore the weight on my shoulders and the low-grade sense of anxious energy I feel within my body – there is no ease.
I also know that these symptoms don’t mean I am doing something wrong, they don’t mean I’m not embodied enough or not spiritual enough.
They are a signal, a signpost from my nervous system saying >> Upgrade Required Here <<
My practice of upgrade is embodiment.
To allow all the things that feel good, and all the things that don’t feel good to be opened, expressed, embodied & thus liberated from my system.
When we open to the things that we fear, we find the love within us to liberate them.
And in that liberation our nervous system softens, our body relaxes and our channels open wider to receive more light from our soul.
We return to ease (until the next upgrade kicks in).
Right now I’m upgrading my capacity to surrender into a new level of wisdom as I teach. I’m expanding my capacity to take (more) wild holidays and trust I’ll be provided for. I’m being asked to let go even more (yet again).
The growth is triggering me, stretching me. I am only human after all.
I am remembering, just as every woman who is on a path of growth – no matter which phase she is in – must always remember:
- Resistance or discomfort doesn’t make you broken, it means you are expanding
- Working hard on yourself & your spiritual growth isn’t the solution – you have to practice what your soul preaches now in this moment (embodying ease, surrender, trust)
- Upgrading can be done with ease when you tell yourself the TRUTH of what is going on
- Liberating your disempowered habits happens most easily when you allow yourself to open & embody them
