The Spiraling Journey of Self-Remembrance
The beauty of human evolution lies in the constant renewal of the self. Every choice, every lesson, and every moment of courage contributes to the unfolding of a more resilient, enlightened, and compassionate you. *smile*
I often visualize the soul remembrance journey as a spiral.
There are layers and levels to the experience, lessons, and remembrance.
We may have believed we “healed” the wound of a certain experience or relationship, only to find ourselves journeying through another shadow of it, in a new light; from a different perspective.
FOR EXAMPLE
Journeying through my wound with my mother was one of the most interesting experiences. So often I thought I was no longer angry with her and had accepted her and our relationship for what it was.
Then something would happen in life, and I’d find myself frustrated that my mother wasn’t who I wanted her to be. That she wasn’t “mothering” enough. I wanted more.
Realizing that it wasn’t about her at all, but about my needs, I would then find myself back to the space of needing to learn to accept our relationship, while learning to meet my own needs.
At one point, healing through our relationship was about the dynamic of a mother-daughter and finding peace with our relationship being what it was.
In another season it was about me… remembering that I have everything I need. And when I am yearning for love or attention from someone else, it’s often that I forget that I have everything within me I need.
I’ve learned to be responsible for my needs being met, allowing people to be who they are, and accepting that I don’t need to try and FORCE more out of them, than they don’t actually want or can give.
MY PAINS are mine to deal with.
THE JOURNEY
It’s a constant unfolding, a journey through our ‘wounds/untruth,’ but a layer at a time. We not only address the pain or untruth but also unlock hidden facets of our true selves.
Every step in the journey is a portal to an aspect of our truth waiting to be remembered.
The journey is one of patience. One of a unique pace.
We get to journey through the layers of “untruth and wounds,” a leg of the journey at a time.
We deal with one aspect of the wound, we remember a part of ourselves. Then through that aspect of ourselves, we can uncover another layer of our truth.
Another aspect of us is then awakened.
And the journey continues that way.
Each time we remember an aspect of our truth is a portal to another layer or aspect of our true expression.
Each version of us is like a doorway to another.
Doorway to expansion. Doorway to remembrance.
If we can remember and trust that the version of us we are being in each moment has its purpose, it allows for a life of flow.
I trust that the version we are is the exact version of us we need.
Try not to fight against what is.
During the remembrance journey, you may recognize reflections of the past being expressed through you, but remember, you are not who you once were.
Embrace the fact that you’ll never be this version of yourself again.
Be grounded in this truth. With this knowing.
Observe the subtle shifts in your perspective, the evolving lens through which you view life. Each shift opens windows into new dimensions of existence, offering fresh experiences and the ability to see the world in a different light.
These moments serve as confirmations of your ongoing awakening — an honest and unique love story with life.
THE JOURNEY IS NOT LINEAR. AND NO ASPECT OF IT IS WASTED.
Be kind to yourself. Trust the unfolding.
I LOVE US
