Dear
Happy New Year and welcome to 2020! Are you breathing? It's a fair question, as the last few months of 2019 took us on the deepest dive yet. I know at least for me, there were several moments of asking "Is life always going to feel like this?" I heard the little ones voice within fearfully ask about the degree of discomfort that I was experiencing. There were defiantly moments that more than anything in the
world, I wanted what I was experiencing to be about someone or something else. I wanted the feelings to just go away.
Then the Divine Mother voice within gently reminded me that I (and everyone else on this planet) have been invited to move from separation back into oneness. She also reminded me that the closer we get to the next iteration of our wholeness, the more intense it can feel. Then January 2020 arrived and a lightness emerged, as well as the wisdom that comes with meeting the dark and the light moments, as if
they both are in support of our wholeness.
Our return to oneness is not a metaphor. It it quite literally ALL INCLUSIVE, meaning that every single thought, feeling and or belief that creates separation within us is being invited back to the whole. Before we can invite anything back into oneness, we first must become aware that a separation even exist.
This reminder typically arises as physical, mental or emotional discomfort, The younger aspects of us often see our up leveling into greater expressions of Oneness as a threat.
I've heard so many people lately say that they are experiencing many feelings and aha moments related to their childhoods. Our inner children are rising up and it is reflected in the outer world as well.
How we meet what arises is actually more important than what arises. If we meet the energy of discomfort, with words that separates it will come back again for another try. If we meet it with love, compassion and the energy that bridges, the cycle is broken.
Before we go any further, a gentle reminder.... We are all made up of a community of inner aspects. Each and every one of these aspects makes up our wholeness. This includes our shadows and the light. The shadow aspects of us are not dark parts of us, they are simply the aspects that remain in separation as a protective mechanism. Our shadow aspects, have separation strategies that were develop to keep
them in the illusion of safety.
The beautiful thing about our current state of evolution is that their strategies for separation are no longer working. Meaning, we can no longer hide anything! We are being invited to feel what has not wanted to be felt and see what we did not want to see. As we do, a great sense of love and compassion can fill our lives, creating positive change in our lives and the lives of others.
We have many aspects or "voices" within us. Each voice is either part of our inner wholeness or is arising to be included. Each voice is speaking from its experience. It's common for us to hear these aspects of Self and also common to like the ones that are reflecting our brilliance and dismiss the ones that are reflecting our strategies. Thus the voice that is sad is perceived as a nuisance, the voice that is angry
is perceived as needing to be distracted, so it doesn't hurt someone, and the voice that reminds us of our power is held in high esteem.
These aspects of Self rear up all the time as part of our inner community, but rarely have the shadows been as present as they were through 2019 and specifically December. I know it can feel awful, but I also know that shadows do not arise until we have the capacity to integrate them back into the whole.
As we step into 2020, we are gifted with the opportunity to see and feel with 20/20 clarity. what has not been seen.. What matters most is how we respond to these aspects of ourself. Can we meet our inner aspects with love and compassion or do we condemn and criticize! If we want love on this planet then we quite literally have to start with our own inner community.
If you do nothing else during 2020, please be kind and direct with what arises. Parent all aspects of you with love.There is a Divine Mother within all of us that is wise and nurturing. She knows just what is needed. Call on her often. She may be a lesser accessed aspect of your inner community, but she is ready to be called forth.
If 2020 was the year for the feminine to reclaim her power, 2020 will be the year for the children to reclaim theirs. This will play out in amazing ways both internally and in the world at large!
Below you'll find a variety of options to move through 2020 with deep clarity, love and compassion. The upcoming changes are exciting for sure and in our love, clarity and compassion we will be supporting many others to find the same. We want to do this without getting burnout and as a model for what is possible when we live life beyond the strategies of our own shadows. This is currently humanities collective opportunity.
It's thrilling to me that we are entering a decade that we can move from surviving to thriving, as a collective. The outer landscape shows us that those that are artificially thriving, meaning at the expense of others, do not give up that position easily, so there will be a lot of unrest. Consider however that we are moving out of a time when shadow strategies run our inner and outer worlds Consider that we are moving into an amazing time where those strategies
are seen for what they are, separations. And most importantly consider that through all is falling apart, we are given the grace to come together in wholeness like never before!
With Deep Love and Care for All That We are Becoming,
Suzy
Please Note:
Below you will notice a new and timely edition of The Journey Back to Love. I cannot think of a better process to return to right now. Over this last year I have rewritten the experience to reflect the new awarenesses that emerged after my own "deep dive" into vaster aspects of my inner community over this last year. Registration will open January 5th!
For those who are interested in The Autism Integration Series, please contact me directly at [email protected]. I am happy to offer that course, with a bit of a twist toward working with our own inner
aspects to support the experience of those on the spectrum. The "kids" keep saying we are ready to go deeper so that is what I am following. See Jackson's message below under The Children's Sanctuary!
