Depending on your level of spiritual awareness, you may or may not be aware that we create our own physical and mental reality; unfortunately, this also includes our suffering. The cause of our struggles, conflicts, sadness, or discontent is manifested within our own consciousness.

Though most people are led to believe the opposite, we must strive to consciously be aware that these things are not an effect from a cause in the external world.

While we are here third dimensionally, on planet Earth, we all possess an ego. Life here is in the form of duality (light vs. dark, day vs. night, etc.)

The ego

However, our ego contains a lot of the instinctual thought processes and judgments – a lot of which can hinder our spiritual growth. It is driven by our natural, third dimensional, “animal” instincts; these instincts are founded from a bodily and sensory-based perception, a reaction to our environment and all in the physical realm around us.

 The ego possesses the quality that creates a natural assumption that our suffering is caused externally.

But we are not our ego. We are much more – our spirit and soul being aligned with our divine Higher Self.

If we look inward, we can much more accurately decipher where our suffering is coming from. 

It could be that you leave yourself vulnerable to negative vibrational energies, as most empathic people do. Sometimes, the feelings we cannot explain that we feel, simply are not even our own! However, more often than not, we all have self-work we are here to complete…lessons of this incarnation’s soul contract. When we are not in alignment with your souls path and life purpose, it can manifest as uncomfortable feelings toward the necessary challenges essential to master those lessons. It causes spiritual friction, disturbing the high potential of our inner peace.

Acceptance

Accepting situations presented to us with a positive attitude and looking deeper for the underlying message. We will find opportunity in every adverse situation, because every situation comes with a lesson from the Universe or our Higher Self. It becomes much easier to accept  what comes forth and stop to consider what it may be attempting to teach us, behind the veil. There is no law that says we cannot love those who resent you, or that you cannot be peaceful in the face of anger. So, go ahead and give unconditional love all those who dislike or hate you. They too, are facing their own life lessons, and you never know what challenge they are facing…possibly causing their internal struggle with “you.”

Bringing Awareness

When challenges and troubles present, it is coming into our awareness to show us that something is off and needs to be healed. And most importantly remembering to forgive ourselves for all our past mistakes; all mistakes are redeemable. As living free of all our guilt and blame is tremendously freeing otherwise we will remain stuck in the past.. Therefore, by using every obstacle as a prop to evolve.  Living in the attitude of forgiveness at all times we then will be resonating constantly with  higher energies. Forgiveness-energy releases you and others from all unhealthy bonds.

We cannot be influenced by negativity when we have resolved to live in the Light of God / Source. The power of a human’s free will choice lies with us…and only you. Our free will gives us the option, a choice; at every moment to create our own reality that we seek.

Responsibility

The moment we decide to take charge and be responsible for our life, we will discover our inner strength, which will empower us to overcome the engulfing challenges. The Light is our guardian and protector; radiate it out in the world.

You Are The Captain of Your Ship. 

Steer your vessel in and toward the Light, always. Become aware during the unexpected and inevitable nasty storms of life. Keep your wits about you, and handle each situation with grace and poise to prevent your vessel from capsizing. Anchor it firmly in the core of God’s Light of unconditional love and forgiveness or else it will drift away in the turbulent waters where the dark, roaring waves will toss it around, and thrash it against the treacherous rocks that lie hidden beneath them.

As a captain, you need to be strong and courageous. Tackle all situations with equanimity and higher understanding. Just as you need the skill to manoeuvre your boat in the raging seas, similarly, you need to exercise your conscious-awareness or presence of mind to maintain peace and tolerance when things get tough. Only a good, hardy captain can bring his ship home safe and sound, at the end of a harrowing voyage.

If you need assistance in finding where an issue first started, (or insight into your current soul contract and progress), an Akashic Record Reading can assist in accelerating you to resolve the issue. Additionally, if there is an issue within a relationship that you are unable to resolve, a Relationship Reading will give you the insight into what dynamics are at play, providing clarity and healing insight.
