April Scribe - 27.04.08

Embracing change...

I sit to write this month's scribe poised on the edge of change. I can feel the change looming. The deep stirring in my soul that tells me we are on the move, that we are shifting towards something much better, much more aligned to who we are. I tell myself that there is no use pretending or fighting it any longer. It is time to embrace it and allow the heart felt transformation to begin.

The weather compliments this journey. The blustery wind, the upheaval and chaos that is before us reveals this change I feel so deep within my soul and I am mesmerized by it. I look into the sky and I see a murky pink glow - a type of sky that can fill you with an uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach with no reason why. It's just a storm. Yes, it's just a storm I tell myself and yet somewhere deep within me understands what this is really about. The energy behind the storm is what my soul connects with and remembers.

The way a storm lifts and shakes everything, the way it makes everything go dark and the way it forces people inwards is not unlike many journey's I have had throughout my life. A storm is just part of the cycle of life. Our cycle. And..just like us, the storm brings in the rain to cleanse and to clear and to make the darkness so much lighter. I know for myself, I always feel much better after I have had a release, whether that is through tears, or talking, or going for a walk - just to blow some cobwebs out. It also helps me release, cleanse, and express whatever is happening so I can move on.

So, as I sit to write for the time before us I receive messages about hope and renewal. I receive guidance from the heavens that we are all transforming, that we are learning to embrace the way of the heart and all of these times when we experience 'chaos' - it is all part of the journey.

When we have times of confusion and chaos, when we aren't able to make out the trees from the forest, just know that order will come in. Just like the storm, it will pass. We will find balance and stillness once more and slowly, gently we will learn to connect with that part of us who watches on and guides us through the darkness. Slowly, slowly we will begin to trust that part more and more as it shows us the way.

We will also learn that we are not separate - you and I. We are one. We will learn that what is in you is in me. Those times when your heart hurts. So does mine. The reason we have the ability to relate to other people when they experience 'life' is because we know what that feels like. We understand the chaos, the uncertainty, the confusion and slowly, slowly we will remember that our heart holds all of the answers. All of the time.

As we begin to journey with the winds of change, remember to be kind to your self. Remember to be gentle and do what is right for you.

The transformation is coming. The heaviness we have had for such a long time is being balanced out, but first...the chaos and confusion needs to shake everything up, just like the storm.

So...when the rain eventually comes, embrace it. Know that you are being offered an opportunity to clear away beliefs, emotions, values, people, 'things' that no longer serve you. Know that you are being blessed with wisdom to see through something that currently brings pain to you and you are being given a chance to release it so the healing can flow in.

You see, a 'storm' is never really just a storm, it is a true blessing from the heavens when we open our hearts and embrace it.
