Open Your Hearts to a New Beginning

The world needs our compassion

I feel that it is very important to maintain a positive outlook in life. I believe greatly that our outlook determines our fate.

I have been through a lot of emotional pain in this lifetime, the likes of which I don’t share easily, but that is by choice. To prove that I have earned a badge, so to speak, to share what I have discovered in my healing meditations, I decided to become a Reiki Master so that my words might become credible. But I can’t promise anyone anything anymore. These words will only ring true if you understand the difficulty of sharing emotional pain.

When we’re hurting, maybe we reach out to others, but I rarely did. I went to myself. I went inward. I dove down into the bowels of rejection, to name one of my difficulties, and reemerged as a much more enlightened person. Please. Take my word on this. Or not. I don’t often share the specifics (I even burned all the journals) because I have chosen not to, but this doesn't mean that what I teach isn’t credible.

This work comes from years of studying energy codes and healing modalities that bring equilibrium and Grace. We’re hurting. Every one of us because we’re without a sense of equilibrium. The way forward through the caustic lens, through which we have begun to see one another, is to take a step back at the end of the day and reassess the balance of power within.

Are you pushing, driving, and hoping to succeed? This is your masculine component. Or are you sitting back waiting for the world to serve you? This is your feminine component. To be in balance with both of these components within, each of us will first have to recognize the divine feminine/masculine drive/rest attributes that exist in us all.

We’re out of balance because we’re pushing the divine masculine to succeed, to be heard, to win. The more we do this the less likely we’ll win. We’ll collapse without maintaining the proper balance. Learning to recognize that we all have the divine masculine and the divine feminine within, will help us recognize why we feel so driven to topple one another or to let it all go and give up.

The spiritual balance of our divine masculine/feminine within is misplaced and the insatiable drive of our divine masculine, which is running amok, is ruining our psyches.

Take a word of advice from someone who has been working to balance this masculine/feminine component within. Build a bit of shade in your world and sit down long enough in it to rest. The world needs us to stop reaching reaching reaching. We can reach, and we can strive for success (the masculine), but without the rest (the feminine), we’re hardening our spiritual selves.

Grace is an important divine feminine attribute the world needs right now. Be a role model for yourself and others by learning to balance that which makes you an effective divine feminine/masculine contributor. The world needs healers and gentle souls willing to take a stand for Grace, for rest, and to be in this wisdom.

We can help be the ones to bring back a sense of balance in a world driven to push push push.
