Acceptance (Mental) vs Embracing (Emotional)

In life we all go through times of difficulties, hardships and sorrow.  Yet, how we handle these situations is what tempers us into being a 'strong' person, a person who realizes they can handle anything they create or comes their way. 

The Hanged Man of the Tarot, as he hangs upside down, has always represented Acceptance to me. Acceptance of things as they are. To me the Hanged Man as being No. 12 is an aspect of No. 3 the Empress, the Law of Love, which I always see as being part of acceptance and forgiveness.

A short while ago I heard a talk where the speaker delivering the talk spoke of Embracing the difficulty, the situation and while I sat there listening I realized something. Acceptance is the mental approach, (which is where I tend to hang out) while Embracing it is the emotional feeling approach. After being to look a Embracing situations, I found myself being able to dig a little deeper. Not just accepting, but totally embracing what is occurring.

Recently I had a client whose bottom line came up (the same one as I had) 'I'm not good enough". This is the mental approach.  I then explained to my client that the 'feeling' of "I'm not good enough" is "I'm unlovable". 

Now we are in the season where many of us have emotional difficulties with the holidays....either our families are gone, or we have had disappointment which we have not let go of. It is a time of embracing the situation, of not approaching it from a mental approach of acceptance, but embracing it, understanding it, forgive yourself and others and allowing the LOVE to grow within to embrace it all.

This season, embrace it all. The Love, the feeling of forgiveness, and enjoy the magic of it all.
Enjoy the season - embrace it.

Sorrow / Grief into Light

A few months ago I began taking some new vitamins and I can honestly say I am beginning to sleep better which means I have more energy. So instead of being absolutely out of it by mid afternoon, I often find myself having energy in the evenings wondering what to do with myself.  This is a change from the last few years. Hopefully, this will transport itself into me being able to write more in this blog.  I'm also right now working on what workshops to facilitate in the New Year, plus looking at where to travel and facilitate workshops there.

The other day, I was working on a Transformation Clearing with a regular client and she asked me about her daughter, when I discovered the daughter's soul was carrying such sorrow.  Not sadness, not grief, but deep sorrow.  As I looked deeper, I realized she had been on a planet which had blown apart. This is not the first time I have come across this, where a planet explodes.

The horror of this happening to the souls who are on the planet when this happens is quite devastating, but we must also realize that the soul is energy and therefore, as with all things (body included) it goes on.  The body will transform back into the basic molecules and atoms etc, while the soul will go and progress to 'somewhere'.  This could be another planet, a healing space, or a dimension.  As I am looking at the soul here, in present time, it means that the soul eventually arrives in the 'earth' realm.

Back to sorrow.  Sorrow is deep, it is not as movable (transformable) as grief or sadness. Only through connection to the original source does it make a big shift. This I was able to do through the Soul Origin work....by going back and tracing all the different experiences then the soul can let go of this horror as it remembers what originally came.

This particular daughter also had a complication that the soul had split when the planet exploded, and that needed to be rejoined together, and integrated.  Quite a difference to the soul, which can shine light now.  Darkness gone!

Sorrow can be changed into Light!
