I recently attended a channeled retreat in Costa Rica and it was incredible. Not only was the content exactly what I needed, but it was held in a space that’s beautifully immersed in nature and overlooks the pacific. It had everything from chameleons to howler monkeys and I stayed in a charming suite nestled in the trees with an outdoor shower and plenty of space. The food was delicious and super healthy, and the people are magical souls from all over the world. I was reunited with soul family members and have a profound love and appreciation for them. We’ve traveled together before on another road, and it’s like now we’ve come home to each other.
We’ve done deep Spiritual work together, and it changes things. The work we’ve done is about re-knowing ourselves and each other as what we All truly are. Seeing the Divine in each one present. We’ve seen it in each other and we’ve been seen by the Guides from a space of PURE love, adoration, and joy. It’s a feeling unlike any other- it is true, unconditional, impersonal love (impersonal is a great thing in this case- this is the goal!)
I also had the opportunity to ask for direct guidance. I’d set the intent beforehand that I was ready to shift and really, honestly, and truly let go. My goal is always to lift my vibration so that I can help others lift theirs, but for the last several months, I’ve been getting the guidance that I needed to be patient. I kept getting the message that something would happen around the Equinox that would be the catalyst for what’s next.
It’s wild because it had me feeling like I was on the verge of something-like being on the verge of a sneeze- it builds and builds pressure. Sometimes it tickles your nose in that really irritating way (lol). It causes you to pause and take a few sharp inhales in preparation-then after what sometimes feels like a painfully long wait in this state of unease, you finally sneeze. Sometimes it’s super violent- it explodes with force, shaking your whole body. It momentarily stops your heart and makes a giant mess. But that feeling is fleeting. After it passes, you feel a huge release and feeling of relief- ahhhh.
Ask and ye shall receive, right? I was cracked open, a bunch of stuff came pouring out in a cathartic rush, and my soul family has been helping me rebuild into something better. It was the catalyst I’ve been asking and waiting for, and it created a pretty big shift, or a new way of knowing myself and the world around me. This experience helped me feel what it’s like to truly be in what the Guides call the upper room, and I realized that the “what’s next” was a heart expansion.
We’ve been home for a little over two weeks now, navigating our way through and working on re-knowing everything and everyone around us, integrating with the expansion of heart energy because the work is to bring it into the world. And as we grow and expand- as we continue to shift, heal, re-know things, and lift to the upper room- we become capable of holding incrementally more energy. We grow and expand.
This growth is a vibrational adjustment, and as we vibrationally expand, we start to see that not everyone expands in the same way or at the same rate. Sometimes we find that ideas, people, or projects that were comfortable in one energetic accord (or chord) are NOT comfortable in another. As we expand, some people, ideas, and things no longer feel “good” to us because we feel out of alignment with them. There becomes a discord between ourselves and people we used to totally vibe with.
So what do we do with that?
I think sometimes when we can see potential, we try to pull the people, ideas, or projects along to where we are. Really that’s not our job, and I know when I’ve tried to do that before, it tends to make a giant mess. This is what Dr. David Hawkins calls Power versus Force. We can try to force things, but it’s never as good as when we create from a place of power. In these instances, I think our job is to hold our space and allow others the opportunity to expand into it.
Of course, not everyone is ready or willing to expand, and part of the lesson is being OK with that. I’ve always believed that people are in our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime and I feel like part of our journey is to acknowledge this and surrender to the idea. I don’t necessarily think there has to be a huge falling out (although sometimes we choose to learn in this way), but sometimes people just drift apart, and that’s ok.
I know that through my journey over the last several years, there have been many, many people who have drifted out of my life. I’ve found myself with straining relationships and have lost friends- some I thought would be in my life forever. I used to get really upset by it, but what I’ve learned is that each time someone drifts out, another person who is in vibrational accord is able to drift in (or in the case of this retreat, a bunch of people!). I think it’s vitally important to give ourselves permission to not try to hold onto these relationships, ideas, or projects. To allow ourselves the permission to go with the flow and Trust that all is well, all is in Divine Time, and that things are always unfolding to our highest and best.
Even if a vibrational shift causes discord with someone you are closely entangled with (someone in your home, business, or inner circle), I think we have to allow it- give other people the space to be as and where they are, while having the wisdom to understand the discord. I think the greatest favor we can do for them and ourselves, is to see them through the eyes of love, continue to hold our space, and surrender to the Will of the Divine (equivalent to saying “I let go, and I let God”.) I’m learning to allow the discomfort and get comfortable with being uncomfortable, to get comfortable with not knowing how it’s all going to work out (because I know that it DOES always work out). I’m asking myself to really lead from a heart space and focus on holding space for myself and others. To be in the NOW and enjoy the ride.
If you’re shifting right now, and not feeling in harmony with your environment or the people in it, my advice would be to adjust your perspective to one of an observer (remove the emotion and look objectively), and allow it to unfold from a space of trusting that the Universe has your back. If you need help with this, I am working with clients for one-on-one sessions.
And if you’re looking for like-minded people, be sure to check out the Creative Zenworks Spirit Circle, or there are a couple spaces left for our upcoming WooWoo 101 retreat happening in October. Whatever you decide to do, let yourself be led by your heart and know that it’ll work out to your highest and best (because it does!). The people & ideas that are meant to be in your life will be, and the rest will all be ok, I promise.
