The Way Forward is Inward
Posted On 15 March, 2022 | Posted By Erin Ann Barcellos
Have things been feeling intense lately?
Do you feel like you’re on the cusp of major change, but are trying your best not to go into panic mode, because the what, when, and how of these upcoming changes continue to elude you?
Are you ready to move into what’s next in your life, but a lot of the outside factors have yet to fall into place - leaving you feeling stuck where you are and unable to move forward?
This is happening for a reason and the universe has a very important message for you!
You heard me right.
Things are not flowing in your life on the outside because there is very important work that needs to be done first - on the inside.
We are so accustomed to getting things accomplished from the masculine energy of doing, action, goal-setting, procedure, and to-do lists - and in many cases, it has served us well.
However, these are not the tactics that are working at this time. To-do lists and timelines aren't making things fall into place any faster and the universe wants to divert your approach in a different direction.
You are being asked to step back from focusing on the future, and instead, focus upon inner mastery and completion - right now.
You are in the process of becoming a whole new and improved version of you, and the new home, job, career path, relationships, or clarity about your future are sure to follow.
You see, 2022 is the year where we begin our quantum leap into love.
Part of this “quantum leap” means that we are truly leaving the heaviness of the past behind and beginning anew in our long-desired reality of love, happiness, and fulfillment. The life you’ve always dreamed of is where you’re headed, but in order to truly get there, there are many parts of the old reality that have to be let go of first.
Imagine that making the quantum leap into your new life is like taking a hot air balloon voyage up to a new plateau of your intended reality.
In order for the hot air balloon to fly and take you to this new paradigm, you first have to release the many, heavy sandbags that are keeping the balloon from flying. These sandbags represent aspects of your being and consciousness, or aspects of your past, that need to be let go of and released in order for you to truly fly.
These can be any areas of your life that need healing, forgiveness, resolution, or completion. It might mean saying goodbye to painful memories, completing old projects, or letting go of old thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you.
It’s time to put those heavy sandbags down so that you can be lifted higher into the frequencies of love. It’s time to do your inner work and clean out all of the closets from the past. This helps your hot air balloon to be as light as possible so you can flawlessly make your way to your new beginning.
Everything will fall into place, very soon, lighting your path forward in the most miraculous ways.
But for now, the way forward is to go inward.
Deep inner work and faith are required. Release your sandbags with attention, love, and care. Spend intentional time completing the old, so you can make way for the new. You must take steps now to become the new and improved version of you, so that you don’t end up dragging any of the old, heavy baggage into your new life with you.
This inward process of emotional healing and spiritual transformation can be uncomfortable as you travel the depths of your own life and soul.
It’s vulnerable, uncomfortable, messy, uncertain, and requires an immense amount of trust and faith. This is an inside job as you are truly transforming from the inside out.
And it’s absolutely necessary.
It’s led by the mystery and love of the universe. Even though it’s full of unknown, you can trust it without a doubt.
You are a beautiful expression of Divine love, as a soul put into a body, as you, in this lifetime. You are fully equipped with everything you need to heal, transform, connect to your inner wisdom, and prevail into your quantum leap.
The life you’ve always dreamed of is your life purpose. And your purpose at this time is to do the inner work that needs to be done in order to get there.
This is not a time of making a to-do list and getting to your desired circumstance by checking all the boxes on your way there. Yes, it’s important to implement practical strategy when able - but right now the forward-moving magic is in the messiness.
You’re in the process of deep inner clearing and inward manifestation. Your job is to follow it with a fierce dedication and a knowing-ness that by doing the inner work, it will bring you to the new reality your soul deeply longs for.
Remember that LOVE is who you are and it’s who you are becoming. It’s love that is guiding your journey, and it’s a life of love that you are claiming.
Make sure that you are continuously willing to surrender your plan and go with the flow - even when the flow is not rainbows and butterflies. Yes, you might charter some stormy waters as you complete parts of your past and heal old wounds, but continue with faith on your journey. Know that life will reveal the pathway to your new horizon one step at a time.
Have courage and faith as you journey inward. As the beloved Martin Luther King Jr. said,
“Take the first step in faith.
You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Always rooting for you.
