You are transforming. Let go of the past. Embrace the Light and Joy of this new day.
Today I embrace transformation. I have the courage to let go of the past. I will eliminate the negatives in my life and make room for all things positive and beautiful. I can choose to grow and I know it is I who must do the choosing. I give thanks for this new day, a new start, and a new life.
And the Gryphon added, “Come, let’s hear some of your adventures.”
“I could tell you my adventures – beginning from this morning,” said Alice a little timidly; “But it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
In this lovely moment, Alice is being asked to recount her adventures for the Gryphon who longs to hear them and is genuinely interested. Alice would love to share, too. But, she knows if she talks a great deal about what has happened and where she is from, she will never truly be able to move forward and find out who she is now that she has changed and is within the world of Wonderland.
The Gryphon wants her to share so she can be entertained, and perhaps get to know her a little better. But for Alice, the thought of reliving the past is no good, as it will not help him know her, as she has changed too much. And therefore, her history is not a way to true friendship. Perhaps this is the same for you. Focus on creating new memories, on sharing experiences, on getting to know someone and letting them know you in the present, through observation and conversation. Accept that you have changed.
As we change, the simple telling of who we were and what we did, is sometimes not as powerful as sharing who we are becoming and experiencing new adventures right in the heart of the precious present moment. Yes, we can share our past adventures and histories, but perhaps you were quite a different person then. So, consider adventuring forth and fully experiencing the present with people you have connected with. Your past will spill out of you, when the time is right for the sharing of such things.
You are more than your past. You have evolved and changed. Sharing your history is only to share who you once were. You are no longer the same person.
“It was much pleasanter at home,” thought poor Alice, “When one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole ~ and yet ~ it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!”
When we make life changes and take large steps into the unknown, it is perfectly natural to have a moment or two when we wonder whether we have made a series of mistakes! A light shines on the doubts you are having and asks you to accept these uncertainties as part of the process of change.
You are so very far away from where you once were, but you still have no clear idea of exactly where your path will take you, and you are filled with uncertainty. Instead of allowing dread to fill your mind, live as if life is a great adventure. Understand that as you change, there will be many ups and some downs to! It is not in your best interest to judge yourself harshly. Instead, anchor yourself firmly in the present moment and allow any regret and nostalgia for your comfortable past to wash over you … let it flow on by.
You are on a remarkable journey of change. It is one that will lead to wisdom, experience and adventure. You have made a wonderful choice, so take heart in knowing that all change creates waves and disruption. Do not make more of your misgivings than they are … they are a natural consequence of bravely stepping out of your comfort zone.
Second-guessing your decisions. Berating yourself for the choices you have made. Feeling regretful and missing what was. Nostalgia – living in the past. A focus on what is going ‘wrong’ or what could still go ‘wrong’.
The 12 universal laws can help many with everyday life Photo Credit: Getty
There are 12 ways to apply the universal laws to life:
Law of vibration: You’re in constant motion that can inform your lived experience. This means that if you are manifesting a certain lifestyle, you have to adjust yourself to that desired level. You can apply the law of vibration by participating in mindful practices that promotes good vibes.
Law of attraction: The most popular of the bunch. It is used for manifestation. You basically attract what you focus on. You apply the law of attraction by believing what you are manifesting.
Law of oneness: Everything is connected. It is the first and most foundation law of the universe. This is activated when compassion is exercised and the fact that we are all one is accepted.
Law of compensation: Whatever you sow, you will reap is the mantra for the law of compensation. This law is activated when you contribute to what you’re manifesting.
Law of gender: Relates to masculine and feminine energy that exists in all things. To apply this, you have to achieve balance between the two.
Law of cause and effect: All actions have a reaction whether good or bad. You might not experience the effect right away but it is sure to happen.
Law of relativity: Your reality boils down to perception. It allows you to understand life with a greater compassion and comparison.
Law of perpetual transmutation of energy: Your actions are proceeded by thoughts and tend to fluctuate. You activate this law by remaining positive regardless of surrounding energies.
Law of polarity: There is a positive and negative to everything. You can activate this law by uncovering what’s happening on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Law of rhythm: This law promotes fluidity. You should activate this law by acknowledging your inner rhythm and not fight against it.
Law of correspondence: If your life appears to be out of order or you’re content, it is a reflection of what’s happening internally.
Law of inspired action: Similar to law of action, you attract what you want in life. You activate this law by creating a space for internal guidance.
“After a fall such as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!”
Alice is brave. And so are you. With everything that has taken place in your life of late, you have often felt overwhelmed, challenged and uncertain of whether you could cope with very much more. But you have shown great courage, and perhaps even more wonderfully, you’ve developed so much resilience. Because of the extreme nature of the events and experiences you have been working with, you will now be able to deal with all manner of circumstances with great calm and stoicism. And this is no small thing!
Being challenged in quite radical ways can see some people retreat entirely from life. But you, like Alice, can see one of the aspects of working through adversity is realizing just how much you can do. You have been stretched, pushed and gone right to the very edges of what you know about yourself – and you have come to know yourself far better, far more deeply, than if you had not had these great and sometimes rather terrible adventures.
Most of all, please know these truths: You are strong, you are brave, you are resilient. You have been dignified, graceful, and remained curious under the greatest sorts of pressures. This has been, in many ways, your finest hour. And you will be able to set an amazing example when life returns to something just a little closer to what most people call normal!
You have been tested. The development of strength and resilience through courageous meetings of challenges. The demonstration of great character. The acknowledgement of how much you have learned. The ability to cope with so many little things, due to a great ordeal endured with grace, dignity and humor. Testing times shows true character.
And the other night I saw names sort of attached to a stalk, like brussel sprouts. The names were being drawn away from the stalk, some came lose, and some snapped back to the stalk, magnetized … vibrationally linked.
Manage your energy.
Keep your thoughts light, your heart happy and your energy clean. Purge negativity and fear, do not let it reside in you.
“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still playing a little, “You’d generally get to somewhere else – if you run very fast for a long time as we’ve been doing.”
“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
The lessons of your life are taking place at a fast rate – far to swiftly for you to process them!! It seems you are only just keeping up with all the changes coming to you! You must work very hard to make any discernable progress, for now. You have been trying to get ahead, and yet you always seem to be in the very same place. This could be in almost any aspect of life – your finances, career or success. At this point in time, the answer is to work even harder.
You will not have to do this much work, with this much effort, perhaps ever again. But the only way out of your current situation is to accelerate, get intense and push for the breakthrough that is just ahead of you. You will need to devote more time than you would wish, and sacrifices will need to be made. However, if you do this, you will push through the resistance and explode into the next stage of your life.
Put all your effort into surging ahead and watch as you begin to move, in the tiniest of ways, ahead of where you have been. Once you take that lead, stay focused on where you are going and you will begin to leave the place you find yourself in now. When you push through, others will recognize the incredible dedication you have to your own life. This will inspire them to push forward with their own dreams, too. One thing is for sure, the intensity of your approach brooks no resistance. Your movement and energy will drive away all stagnation. Now go!
A time of very hard work. Getting ahead. Determination and resolve to push through into the next stage. The urge to improve your status and be rewarded. Moving quickly, with strength and stamina. A great deal to process and integrate.
“Dear, dear! How queer everything is today! And yesterday things went on just as usual, I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night?”
Sometimes, we change slowly. A little change here, a small adjustment there, tiny shifts day by day, and over time we grow into a very different version of ourselves. But at other times, we feel like we have been changed in the night. Our day might suddenly, without any warning at all, be very queer indeed. For Alice, and perhaps for you, there is a sense that so very much has changed in an instant, that the world has quite suddenly been turned upside down – or right side up! And, we have not had a moment to grow used to this new reality, the way we now are or the rules of the world we find ourselves inhabiting.
When a time like this comes, we can be in shock, a little numb and have trouble finding our way back to the center of ourselves. If you feel you may have been changed in the night – that your life has changed quite dramatically, quite suddenly – then take a moment. Remember your values, your feelings, yourself. Look about you, steady yourself and breathe in deep. You’ve been rocked and your sense of self, and of reality, is going to take a little time to resettle.
Continue to connect with your core self, be good to you and take it easy, but steadily. Remember, you are finding out who you truly are. Until this moment, you only knew who you could be when faced with certain, predictable circumstances. Now that so much has changed, you will find out so much more about yourself, and in time, this will enrich you so very much.
Sudden, unexpected change. A shock. Unexpected news. Adjusting to a new situation. Finding out more about who you are. Inexperience and uncertainty. An identity crisis due to changed circumstances.
