Grieving the old, as you inhale the new

As we grow, and raise our vibration, as we work on ourselves, parts of our lives don’t seem to fit the way they used to. Sometimes it is a slow coming to consciousness, an evolution, if we are lucky enough to be afforded the grace of time. We may wake up one day, and just see life very differently, and just know the changes that have to be made.  

“And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~ Anaïs Nin
 


Sometimes, it happens in one fell swoop; the loss of a job, or a partner, or a long-term friendship, for example. It is one of the side effects of doing all this energy work! It helps to know that these changes have actually been slow in coming, it was your energy field changing; your spirit evolving, the physical changes came after that.

It will figure itself out, in time. Our attachments are so rooted, and our resistance to change. It could even have been a change that we wanted! An attachment is something we have a strong emotional connection to that has nothing to do with our survival, or even our truth. We may think, or feel that releasing the bond will destroy us, but it won’t. A job, a relationship, a belief system, a behavioral pattern, an identity, a city, an addiction, So many of our attachments are based on fear. Getting out of our comfort zones, fear of change, the “what if’s”. And yet, change, is the only constant in the universe, it is the only thing we can rely on. Being flexible, even amused about your flavors of resistance can really help!
Even if you have made a good change in your life, there may be an undercurrent of grief, and you may need some time to acknowledge, mourn, and grieve your loss, without that person, or that old you.
 

 In our process, there must be space for the transition to occur, including time for grief, and loss.

There are different types of grief, the loss of a person we once knew, the loss of a person, the loss of an identity that we once had. There is even anticipatory grief:  the loss of a person we haven’t yet lost. Grief isn’t always about death. It can be about attachment, and separation. It helps to mourn. Your feelings are valid. It helps to be heard, and to allow all aspects of your “selves” the space to talk. A friend, a counselor, someone with conscious listening skills can help enormously. Being acknowledged in your grief, or while releasing old parts of your life, can be validating, can be healing, because not everyone can see what’s going on with you underneath your wonderful transitions.
 
We are being urged yet again to rise above our old structures, our old selves (energetically), and to let go of what no longer serves us. Remember, that we have already done so much of the preparatory work in this; the manifesting on the physical plane is the final part. Let them go. Once they are released fully, it gives us more space energetically to create the new, in present time. It is a risk, yes, and yet so worth it. The new you is waiting for you to let go of the pieces of your past,
Do take the time to be conscious in this, to ask for help in the release of what no longer serves us, to be conscious of the patterns, of fear, addiction, etc, so that we can learn from it. And grieving is tantamount in this process. Listen. There are many parts of you, of your inner landscape, and all parts of you have something to say, and want to be heard.

Breathe. Take in the new, fresh, present time air.

Feel. What needs to be heard? What needs to be validated?

Exhale. Let go of some of that past. It is gone

Know, that you are taking the correct next step for you, right now.
Validate yourself. Breathe in more light, and let it fill up all of the cells of that wonderful body of yours!

Breathe in more light, fill yourself up with light, with love, and validation, let it expand through all your cells, even the spaces in between your cells. You are a luminous being of light. Divine, powerful.
Be that.
Releasing what does not work for us anymore is part of our evolution. It does mean getting out of our comfort zone, even if we have been growing, and changing and lightening up, all along. It can still be hard in the beginning. You may need time to grieve. You may need to talk with someone you trust, even a support group, to feel heard, or acknowledged, and you definitely need to keep checking in with yourself, while you are taking action. You are like a phoenix, rising up from the old you, to greater heights.
 
Go gently, and if you can’t go gently, go as gently as you can.
