Dear Ones,
Life is always changing and nothing stays the same. And so constantly we have to balance different parts within us. On one hand we are eternal spiritual beings on the other hand we are also for a certain period of time human beings. And so we have physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs and aspects to our being. When all of those aspects are in balance we thrive and there is an undeniable feeling of wholeness and joy within us.
The way to navigate this seemingly complex and ever changing internal and external world is to allow ourselves to be authentic. As when we allow our inner truth to be the compass needle and when we allow ourselves to be transparent everything simplifies and harmony is a natural byproduct. We realise that each of us is like a unique puzzle in the eternal game of the universe and if we allow ourselves to be the exact shape we already are, we naturally fit with all the other pieces of the puzzle creating the beautiful whole. It’s only when we try to be what we are not, nothing seems to fit and life becomes a struggle.
This often goes against our conditioning. As most of us received – often unspoken – messages that we have to somehow adjust to the world around us, to people, to jobs and to the already existing structures and agreements of society often to the extent that we compromise, deny or suppress our own true identity.
But the evolution of each of us personally and also collectively works actually the other way round. It is about letting the external to take shape according to the internal. So as we grow, evolve and change internally the shape of our personal and collective lives changes with it. If we allow it…
Especially if we didn’t receive this natural wisdom in our childhood, it’s important to be gentle and supportive towards ourselves as we are learning to trust that inner compass of our truth. Lovingly supporting ourselves while learning to discern and acknowledge when something doesn’t resonate with us anymore and also learning to give ourselves complete permission to embrace the new which now genuinely calls us.
It often means letting go of overthinking and overanalyzing and also of the need that others always agree with us and our choices. As beautiful and supportive it is to have trusted loved ones to whom we can talk about our authentic truth and hear their opinions, the unavoidable step towards true maturity also means to allow others to have their opinion while at the same time following with complete trust where our authentic self guides us…
Are you ready, dearest One?
I look forward to meditating with you.
Lots of love, Jana x x
