As you are well aware spring is upon us, and welcome it is. Nature everywhere is showing us signs of new life. Spring is a time when after the cold winter months we look to new ideas, rejuvenation of the soul, new eating habits, excersise and so on, all in the hope we will find motivation to continue on our path.
To do this we need to shed the winter coat, and thats not always easy. What is the winter coat?, it is an energy , a way of thinking, a way of being that has kept you warm and protected through the winter months. When it is time to shed that coat we dont always recognise the signs, so sometimes it takes longer than necessary before we can appreciate the beauty of a new season- spring. Some may recognise time for change, and start 'cleaning out the cuboards' etc. , thats the external world acknowledging the work youve done to change internally- and if you follow that intuition then it can only lead to new beginnings.
But, sometimes we don't recognise change coming, even though we've quietly been pursuing it internally, until it is upon us, then the best and most productive option is to accept that change until it passes. That change can come in the form of job changes, relationship changes, and ill health- or dis-ease. To work through this with as little conflict within as possible, is to accept that it is a good process that is happening, as hard as that is, because it wouldn't be happening if change wasn't needed for your spiritual growth and evolvement as a concious being.
The difficulty we have is 'being concious'- most of the time we are 'unconcious' meaning we are not being aware of our thoughts and actions, instead we are just continuing on doing the same old and wondering why something out of the blue hits us and we are forced to change.
I recently went through an episode of this. I have spent the last 2 years conciously working on letting go of past hurts and expectations. I then had the urge to let go of some work situations, and then more work that I'm passionate came to me. So i'd done the work mentally, recognised the signs in the external world to let go, but forgot about the physical part. Without warning, so it seems, I was stopped in my tracks, with ill health, 5 weeks it has taken for me to get back in the driving seat again. Of course I recognise this is the body shifting after the work I'd done internally.
The worst thing you can do though is try to discover 'why'. I was having a ball, enjoying every aspect of my life, some say "oh you just picked up a bug,",,others ,"you were to busy",. Intuitvely none of that felt right, so this is when we just have to accept the change, go with it and know the answer will be made clear. For me through my writing I discovered it was yet again another sign of the internal change I'd done, my body was just saying, "stay still while I detox, all that isn't needed anymore".
When I started to feel better, I noticed my intuition urging me to 'throw out' what I didn't need anymore, so out went 9 pairs of shoes:)-I believe that was a sign that I no longer will walk the same path as before , and changes in the home that have created more space- another sign of the internal change, being reflected in the external world.
What ever is challenging you at this time, be the best you can be at any time- dont ask anymore of your self,be patient with your self and let the process happen, and you will see the signs that you are moving forward.
In Love and Humility
