“Worth repeating…”
I struggle, just like you.
Though my gifts are certainly a blessing, they do not release me from the lessons of my personal journey. No short cuts are given. No “free ride”.
The last few months have been especially challenging for me, personally. Hours spent in solitude working through my “stuff” have seemed endless – and sometimes fruitless.
But I know enough to know to keep at it. That things are happening beyond my conscious recognition.
I’d imagine myself not pushing away and shutting out love, and collapsing into darkness but instead transforming into a better, more open, more loving version of myself,
While begging asking my guides to help me utilize this opportunity for its maximum growth capacity and “learning opportunities”
(“If I have to go through this then let’s do it all the way”
…”Go big or go home”…
after all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger – or so they say)
Then this guidance came through.
With it, I was shown my heartbreak breaking me wide open.
The grief and the heartache actually increasing my own heart’s light and radiating it outward – with a greater force and a farther reach than ever,
while carrying the dark, heavy emotions outward with it.
Giving all the pain, sorrow, suffering… back to Source to transmute.
Giving it with gratitude for it being received.
I should be clear, I felt it, too.
It hurt. It was worse than “hurt”.
It was primal. It came out in tears, in outward cries of anguish,
…sorrow and pain that could not be contained.
Feeling so deeply that it seemed as though I may not survive.
Feeling so deeply to remind me that I am alive.
That this IS life – its beauty and its pain coming together as ONE in this thing we call “heartbreak”.
In its depths revealing glimpses of truth of a heart and soul with a capacity to love that is far greater than one can even know.
That if one can suffer for love so purely and so deeply, one can receive, give, know… a love far greater still.
The gifts of suffering.
One needs only to let it flow, let it go, accept…
with HEART WIDE OPEN
(HA! easy enough, right?)
As I let it out and let it flow I did my best to be grateful for the release, and those “gifts of suffering”
Inwardly whispering “thank you” as outwardly my cries echoed the sorrow that seemed to radiate from every ounce of my being.
Though it left me feeling raw, I understood that this was what was needed. {and would be needed on more than one occasion}
That this release created the space for the healing light of love to come back to. A stronger, bigger space to hold a bigger, more powerful love.
{This is also an example of honoring emotions. Being present with them. Feeling them. Releasing them. In a “safe” space. In a “safe” way.}
As I was guided to write the post “Heart Burns…“,
I understood I was also to share that personal guidance that came through.
And today I hear,
“It’s worth repeating – that guidance we gave to you
… and let them know your heart burns, too.”
And so it is:
Do not let the pain of heart break collapse upon you.
Do not let it shrink your capacity to give and receive love.
Rather,
Let your heart grow bigger and brighter as it breaks wide open.
Let it strengthen you, not to be tough but to be soft.
Let the experience teach you.
That you may be filled more deeply
and shine more brightly
And welcome love more fully and completely, than ever before.
