What if we allowed ourselves to be held and parented by the Divine?
What would your life look like then and what are you so afraid of now?
Read below for 5 ways to gracefully take on life's challenges and break the cycles:

Get Messy with It. Healing is messy. Chaos is messy. Why try to make it pretty and seamless? Healing doesn't come from positive thinking or wishing your life was different. Healing and expansion is what happens when you’re willing to get vulnerable and messy. It comes from a willingness to roll up your sleeves and clean up the old habits that keep you in the same scheme. You can do everything differently but if you’re still vibrating on the same limiting channel, you will get the same limited broadcast! It’s time to do the work. Ask the hard questions without being afraid of the answers. Be willing to see things for what they are, not what you wish them to be. Get down (and dirty) to the root of what's blocking your expansion.  

Sit with it. Yup, that simple (said but not done!). Sit with it - with whatever is breaking your heart; causing anxiety, pain and discomfort. Observe it. Hold it like you would a lost child. Comfort it and when it gets unbearable and you feel like you want to run or freeze - bring in your resources.  The things that bring you joy, the things that feel like a warm and long ambrace, like the beach or nature or just fresh air, maybe it's your pet, your children, your lover - whatever lights your soul. Then ease back into the discomfort and sit with it some more. Observe it. Breathe life into it and it will breathe back into you, sweet notes of wisdom that ignite your growth. 

Cut it out. Literally, Whatever, whomever is not serving you and keeping you limited.  Cut. It. [Them] Out. Perhaps at some point this frame of thinking or person wasn't chaotic in your life, but now it is. You've changed. They've changed, Everything changes! Take time to examine what (or whom) is no longer aligned with your highest purpose. If there's something or someone dragging you down; If it's causing you pain; If it's leaving a sour taste in your mouth it's probably not serving you anymore. Cut. It. Out. I know that can sound harsh but when you begin to visualize yourself at your highest purpose, you begin to see exactly what you need more and less of in your life. Listen to that. 

Live the questions now. One of my most favorite authors, Rainer Maria Rilke once wrote, “Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” And I know sometimes it’s really hard and it can often feel confusing to not have all the answers, but the answer is usually already within them (the question). They (the answers) may not be obvious at first but I promise you, if you hold the questions and let them  live in your presence, soon you will notice the connections and the answers will appear in almost everything we do and touch. This is the result of being magnetic.

Be specific. A dear friend and fellow manifestor shared a story with me that truly captures the Universe’s way of manifesting. She wanted to win a work challenge where the grand prize was a trip to Bali. Everyday she would practice manifesting her dream trip to Bali. She stated it every morning as part of her intentions, she kept telling everyone she’s going to Bali, she envisioned it daily and she even added a picture of Bali as her phone backdrop. A few weeks later, she won that trip to Bali, but it wasn't because she won the work a challenge at work. It was through some other random contest! See what the Universe did there? In order to manifest what you truly want, you got to get to the core of the desire  first. Become intimate with your intentions. The Universe doesn't care about what you want; it's more interested in helping you manifest your soul purpose. Learn every detail of what you desire and why. Feel it in every crevice of your body. Vibrate it in your very essence. Then watch the magic of your life unfold.

I love you all ways,
