The way we perceive ourselves and the circumstances in our lives is key to living the life we desire. “Telling a new story” is a tool that I use to move through undesirable or painful situations and memories. It ensures that I am perceiving my life in such a way that actually creates and perpetuates more and more of what I want and less and less of what I don’t want. It is a creative and powerful way to shift consciousness. Telling our story, to ourselves and to others, literally rewires our neural pathways! By transforming our thoughts and beliefs, new perceptions and attitudes are created which then lead to new circumstances, new choices and an unleveled life we love!
When something unpleasant or painful happens in your life, it is important to allow the emotions to come, to allow the waves of fear, pain and despair to crash on the shore of your heart. When you are experiencing your emotional storm take care of yourself. Validate your feelings and get the support you need, whether that be from a practitioner such as myself, a psychologist, doctor, medication, or family and friends. It is important to support and love yourself as you are moving through painful circumstances. Don’t resist the crashing waves, ride out the storm with the support you need. And remember, emotions flow; they are not static nor are they your Reality. The Truth is you are maintained and sustained by a Love and Light energy, Spirit. You are “moving through” this, and at your own speed.
There is always a moment, however, in the midst of it or after the storm when the tide of despair naturally recedes and you’re standing upright on the beach, dry and feeling the sun on your back. It is at this moment of choice that you can either build a house in that painful energy or dive into the calm, warm ocean of Reality and create YOUR story.
It’s true, disaster, loss, illness and trauma can serve us. Even the darkest of experiences happen for our highest and best. Whether you can see it or not at the time, everything in our lives is a blessing, an opportunity for growth and the evolution of our Spirit.
“Telling your story,” not only assists you in changing your perception of the circumstance and your life, it can eliminate trauma as a way of evolving spiritually all together. We don’t need suffering and trauma to grow and evolve. It is important to process the emotions that come from painful circumstances; this is not meant to be a spiritual quick fix or a band-aide. However, it is equally as important and necessary to acknowledge and claim our birthright as Divine Beings. The qualities of Spirit—Joy, Harmony Love, Wholeness, Freedom, Grace and more—these are your True Reality.
