As far as I can see, the only thing that stops us feeling aligned is identification with what is not essentially us. And these identifications sometimes exist at great depths. Does this resonate with you?
I wrote the other day about the journey I’ve been on with my purpose, and how I’ve recently been clarifying that again . This has come after years in a post-awakening flow where purpose seemed entirely irrelevant. In that last post I shared the crux of what I love to do — helping people resolve repeating patterns by coming into alignment with who they’re here to be, while knowing who they really are.
But what takes us out of alignment?
As far as I can see, the only thing that takes us out of alignment is identification with something that isn’t essential to us, and then feeling scared of the feeling that creates.
Sometimes these identifications are easy to see
Like when I was identified with the idea that “any time in the morning that starts with a 5 is too early”.
Oh how I suffered in that belief until I saw that 5.01am was entirely different to 5.59.
I’d identified with an idea and taken it as a truth. Seeing the idea was nuts, I stopped identifying with it.
Then it went deeper. To see that I’d also identified with an idea that a certain time of waking automatically determined the kind of day I’d have.
Another idea that was discovered to be untrue, and I stopped identifying with it.
Seeing through identifications at this psychological or mindset level is incredibly impactful and really supports clearing the lenses and reminding you of the natural feeling of being in alignment.
But sometimes these identifications feel more entrenched
Like when I identify with the idea that speaking up will lead to me being hated and rejected and scrap-heaped.
With identifications like this ‘seeing the thought is untrue’ isn’t enough for their resolution. There are deeper dynamics at play. We need to go deeper.
It’s as though the idea is soaked into the emotional system, and the physical system, and sometimes in the etheric system.
None of these are as simple as seeing a thought as untrue. They invite us to go deeper into relationship with all these aspects of experience. To turn towards and include, rather than turn away and reject (which is what we’ve done for so long).
And so in this process, as these deeper identifications are loved, understood, included and integrated, it clears the way for our aligned expression to flow through.
Now we feel unhindered by the identifications that were scaring us and creating feelings of misalignment. And the repeating patterns stop. Their work is done.
They got our attention so that we would look. And love.
So what is asking you to look and love?
What seems to stop you feeling aligned?
What repeating patterns are playing out in your life that are actually inviting you to turn around. To love and include. So that you can feel the alignment with who you’re here to be.
Much love, Helen
I love going deeper with the more entrenched identifications. It is my joy and privilege to resolve and integrate these in myself, and with you. Are you looking for support and guidance with this? Book a call. I’d love to meet you.
