Lesson 201: Holding Consciousness is...

…. Is holding a torch up in the up in the dark. It is about being awakened to things you never thought of before. It’s a deeper understanding of yourself and that of the world around you. Even the smallest of changes in ourselves can make a world of difference. You might notice how you touch others in this way and how your light can lead others out of their own darkness.

Today we are to think about the ways we have become illuminated in the past few months and tell of your story of having your consciousness expanded.

My journey is very much a continuing story from last years awakening. If I am to focus on the last few months and how my consciousness has expanded, there has been a lot more self-acceptance than I’ve ever had in my life. I think being able to just be myself in my spiritual path as a medium and witch, is something I used to shy away from others but I think the more people I meet that have a spiritual side, the more I feel comfortable in my own practises. The light of others have definitely let the light in me shine. If I didn’t have a community to share my experience, then I would just attempt things on my own.

I think I’ve expanded to be more accepting of others as well. I think everyone has a story and I am not quick to judge anymore. For example, if someone has a tell tale reaction to situations with anger, to me, there must be a reason for that type of reaction. I don’t want to be insensitive to people’s stories so I keep an open mind in this way. I try to think about what might be impacting them and why they act in this manner. I’m not quick to assume they are just being unreasonable. I try to think outside the box.

I also try to be a light for others. I think when people trust me enough with their stories and reveal the darkest parts of their soul, I feel privileged that they resonate with me to share such a deep personal experience. I want others to open up as much as I have in this past year. I think it’s okay to embrace the dark parts of yourself, as long as you’re working through it to shed some light on it. I try to encourage people to be open to facing these parts of themselves in order to grow.

I think a lot about what I can do to change the world. It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture but how I can impact people by leading a good life. I am currently in the works of making my spiritual learnings into a business and once I feel I’m in a good place, I need to expand myself out more. I got projects and ideas in the works and it’s all just about making it into a reality. All in due time!

Lesson 201: Reflections on Acceptance

Following on from the meditation, we are to use today for further reflection and complete the following sentences:

  • It is safe for me to accept and allow things as they are because______
  • The part of me that doesn't feel so safe accepting and allowing things as they are is______
  • One thing I can do when my resisting patterns bubble up and get in my way is______

-------------

My answers:

  • It is safe for me to accept and allow things as they are because, I feel supported and I have the self-awareness to work through things at my own pace.
  • The part of me that doesn't feel so safe accepting and allowing things as they are is my monkey mind that can sometimes feed self-doubt.
  • One thing I can do when my resisting patterns bubble up and get in my way is take a moment to close my eyes, breathe through it, feel relaxed and then take another approach.
