Yesterday I spoke of the light and dark energies around us, and today I’d love to share a little more into the dark phases we experience on a personal level throughout our lives, and how they are necessary for growth. Honestly, I never thought I’d be speaking so positively about such dark times from my past… There’s a constant dance between the light and dark. It’s easy to see this all around us, but that dance is also within all of us too. I had a revelation recently and it has changed my whole perspective on my past dark times. I would usually look back with a cold shiver and a desperate hope to never ever find myself back in that place. But now? I appreciate those times, and even welcome them back in to my life as and when the time is right; I trust the divine timing of this ebb and flow of life, and I trust myself that the darkness arises for a reason. The turning point for me was realising that we all have dark & light energy within us, in the same way we all have masculine and feminine energy. In other words, we all have a shadow side. And that’s ok. It’s human. I choose the light 🪽, but I recognise there is a balance and harmony of light and dark within us all. And the dark often arises with a message. The dark phases we go through can be seen as a death processes to allow parts of ourselves that aren’t serving us to die. Much like the season of Winter. Speaking of cycles, it’s not too dissimilar to the bleed of a menstrual cycle. I’m sure if you bleed, you understand why I refer to that as the darkness! This should not be feared but instead revered. After death comes life. After Winter comes Spring. After a bleed returns energy. And so… do you see where I’m going with this? After darkness finally returns the light. And doesn’t the light feel so much brighter? Like the light at the end of the tunnel. Trust the light will always return. I now experience a euphoric sense of gratitude and my heart floods with love when I’m experiencing the light. I know how dark times have been, and I pinch myself to remind myself how beautiful life can be. ✨ Continued below:」11月1日 21時31分
