Navigating Transitions With Faith in Life's Wisdom

Can I be comfortable in a place of "not knowing?"

What is it that is so uncomfortable about being in what one would call "transition?" Who is it that wants to KNOW where one belongs, RIGHT NOW? As if in the waiting there is not something of value to be gained or learned. It is often this place of discomfort that leads us to new awakenings, ideas and solutions, but can we allow ourselves to be patient, and wait? How can we know where we are going if we have not fully accepted where we are in the present? Often the wish to move on from where we are is our misunderstanding that we have completed the work we have been given on a soul/heart level. If we are experiencing a calm acceptance and deep understanding in our being, chances are the inner work is not finished. It can often look as though we are finished with a state of mind, a place of living, a relationship, a career or body image, etc. but if we are suffering or in significant discomfort mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually, perhaps we have yet to heal our heart and this particular issue is still teaching us. This is not about "perfection," or all the "ducks are in a row," it's about being connected to, and listening deeply to one's self, and feeling grounded in our next steps before we take them.

When we are in a state of transition, let's use it to come to know ourselves deeply and fully. States of transition can feel as though they are empty and stagnant. The challenge in this is to become quiet with the emptiness, for under this feeling is the seed of what we are asking our hearts to unveil. Often the silence will reveal what we are struggling with, and have not yet accepted. This quiet space allows an unfolding and an awakening of what is true, and allows the map forward to come to life.

Possibly the greatest gift of transition is our relationship to Faith (trust); Faith in ourselves, others, and that which is bigger than ourselves. Faith that Life knows what It is doing, from a soul energy level. Faith that where we are in this moment, what has happened or what is happening now is for our Benefit. Are we open to releasing our ego's preferences and having Faith in our Soul's purpose and path, by trusting the quiet wisdom of our inner Soulic energy, which will surely lead us through our transition and into our next adventure.

Our journey is sacred, engage all aspects of this life, and enjoy your beautiful selves.
