The world can't keep waiting for you.
This tough love message is specifically for the healers, the teachers, the light workers, the caregivers, the wisdom keepers, the guides, the providers, the witches, the earth angels, the coaches, the mentors, the leaders. Everyone has been called to awaken. And that includes you. (Don't worry, it also includes me.)
We are at another critical mass tipping point. The energies are pushing out of the seams as we are all out-growing our old ways of being.
I know you feel this. Can you see it too? In some not-quite-right-but-you-get-the-point kind of metaphor...I'm about to equate this to Tetris. The new information is falling at a pace that will not be stopped and it is up to us to respond quickly enough, to change shape, to integrate and embody the healing. We need to create more space.
There is more information, more people waking up, more people needing healing, and also, naturally...there are more healers.
This isn't about competition. In fact, I would argue that competitive jealousy is exactly the kind of ego-based behavior that is on the chopping block. So is hiding, fear, self-doubt, laziness, apathy, and more... We all need to be better at what we do. We all need to rise to the occasion. Because, if we are talking about the big picture, we are already up to our ears in tipping points.
The first step... ask yourself....What is the biggest block that is holding me back from taking up more of my role as a guide? Be honest. There may be a few of them. That's normal. But if you can, please, commit to working on one block. And if you can, please, commit to working on the biggest block you've got. It's okay to not know exactly what it is. But please, commit to finding out.
What if you are tired, depressed, confused, overwhelmed, sick, struggling?
Yes.
I hear you.
And.
We all are heavy in some way. This is exactly my point. These wounds are ancient. This healing is essential. It is a call to action to find what YOU need for your healing so that you can begin to feel better. Because we need you to feel better, to help more people feel better.
What else can you do? Here are some places to start.
Explore your limiting thoughts and unconscious resistance around you as a healer or guide. These are often ancient and layered but look specifically around the ideas of exposure, abundance, change, trust.
Level up your skills by focusing on a specialty, or by learning something new to incorporate and diversify.
Invest in healing your shadow, your family wounds, deconstructing your ego-self, and overcoming self-sabotage.
Be honest about your coping mechanisms for stress-management and avoidance. And skip the self-judgement. Your inner-critic will only slow you down.
Strengthen your channel, your body, your energy body, to withstand your empathic sensitivities, and the rising tide of grief and trauma that is coming up to be healed.
Take an inventory of your relationships and nourish the ones that nourish you and practice boundaries with the ones that don't.
Commit, again and deeper, to your personal practice, ie, walk your talk.
Sign up for an anti-racist training and listen to voices that are not of your cultural, racial, socio-economic background and be honest about how our healing, and our healing practice, is interconnected, and requires that we pay attention and honor the experience of everyone else around us. Commit to deconstructing the way that you have also been a part of oppression.
Find the guides, healers, teachers, and mentors that are able to help you level up. Invest in your healing, education, and growth.
Connect again more deeply to the sacred, the current, the thread that binds your soul to it's path. You will understand more of what you are here to do if you listen.
This list is cursory and brief but we need to start somewhere. Please let me know if you would like to hear more information about any of these suggestions...there is surely lots more to say. But I also want you know know that it can be simple. A simple choice. An act of doing that is different. Sometimes all it takes is one decision and one action to turn things around. Sometimes it is a deep topic with unseen layers that unfolds over time.
No matter what square you are standing on, everyone needs to take one giant step forward. So whether this means that you are just beginning to hear the call of your soul, or that you are being asked to fully embody nothing less than your I AM Presence in the world, one thing is still true at all levels. It will become increasingly uncomfortable to remain the same.
Let's do this.
I am with you.
I love you,
Alicia
