Beautiful Friends, we are all in the midst of transformation. We are moving through this on a personal and societal level. And sometimes, it’s not easy…
The events of the past few days have been so hard to navigate. I’m not sure I even have words yet about what happened in Newton. People have asked me to share a spiritual perspective on this tragedy but I don’t know what to say other than there will be things in this life that we many never comprehend through the confines of linear human consciousness. My sense is this was an act triggered by mental illness that caused the shooter to disassociate from his humanity and act out some horrific nightmare that was spinning through his consciousness. When I contemplate this, I do not feel anger, just immense sadness. I have found myself weeping on and off the past few days. As I do, I feel the collective sorrow yet also the waves of love from the angels and other beings of light who are with us in this.
On a personal level, many of us are moving through profound shifts. As we come to the end of 2012, the completion energies are strong. We are navigating what can feel like “death” of various aspects of our identity. As we go through our spiritual awakening, quite often aspects of the “false” self must die so that the authentic self can shine through. This can feel uncomfortable and frightening because we are in the emptiness of what is yet to be.
This morning I’m guided to share this Angel Message channeled through me many years ago. Over the years I’ve found myself returning to it especially during times of transformation and growth. As I read it today it seems especially poignant for what we are moving through. I share it today with love.
Angel Message: Precipice of Change
Right now you are standing on the precipice of change. And right now you may be feeling that it might be too much for you. But it is not. Too much. It is just the right amount to get you where you need to be. You may be feeling that the change is so big that it will swallow you up. But it will not. It is here to birth you into a new dimension of you that has yet to exist.
It is not easy to stand empty and waiting for the new to be born. We stand naked and afraid that this is all there will ever be. But do not despair, dear one. For you are standing on the great chasm between what has been and what will be. You are being called to create a new landscape to your life.
This journey is blessed and paved with both laughter and tears. They are both needed to give our lives depth. Do not fear getting lost for you are being Divinely blessed as you navigate this uncertain territory. For it only feels uncertain, there is a part of you that has already made it safely to the other side. And it is standing there lighting your way home. You will not be the same person when you reach the shore, you will be forever changed. Forever more yourself than ever before.
Birth can be painful. It can feel like certain death as we are being squeezed out of a place that no longer fits us. It can feel like darkness is all around us and we are blind to what awaits us at the end of the journey. But know that loving hands are waiting. And the light is bright on the other side. Breathe in the change dear one. Do not struggle against the building tide, for it will only serve to make you weary. Relax and release your grip on the old. Your new life awaits.
You are standing on the precipice of change. And a bright golden light is shining your way through the darkness. Follow it, for it is leading you home. Home to your heart. Home to your creativity. Home to your love. Home to your courage. And we are cheering you on. You are always surrounded by love. Always.
Remember:
- Change signals the gateway to a new adventure and Leaps of Faith are sometimes the only way into our dreams.
- Be kind to yourself in the midst of change. It may bring forward tender feelings. Love yourself well when this happens.
- The angels are with you, and they are holding you close always.
- These changes, they are answers to prayers you launched into the waiting arms of Spirit.
- Louise Hay has a very simply affirmation – I am safe, it is only change.
Affirmation:
With every breath and action, I am creating the life of my dreams. I am willing to change, and to allow change into my life. For I am always remembering that I am safe, it is only change.
Thanks Laurel for this beautiful message. Similarly to you I can’t watch news without tears in my eyes.
People are longing for change and at the same time they are afraid of unknown. Even wanted changes can bring discomfort, Angels’ message reminds about the support we have in the moments of change and yes, sometimes, Leaps of Faith are the only ways to our dreams.
Such a beautiful message thanks for uplifting and enlightening my spirit as I’m feeling the winds of change. Finding troubles with technology and crying over things that I typically wouldn’t give a second thought too. So nice to know I am not along. Love to you and your work. ♥
A lovely post Laurel. It took me 3 days before I watched anything on TV about the tragedy in CT. I prayed and held sacred space in my heart for the families and people of that community that were deeply affected with the loss of their loved ones. I really enjoyed the angel message. I love the new adventure and leap of faith that is there to help us get into our dreams. Blessings. xo
This is a wonderful post with so many valuable pieces. I love the affirmation and the reminders you have provided. The tragedy is overwhelming and I have chosen to not watch any media coverage and only read one article so I knew what had happened. It is just too much for me. The pain is so intense.
