Why Rest Is So Important

I hope you are riding the wave of the energies that are helping us clear what no longer is needed so we can move into higher states of consciousness!

 

I had a great conversation with a few lightworker teacher friends just today about how we are really moving into 5th dimensional frequencies more and more (the way of the New Earth of unity consciousness). And yet, we still need to remove whatever gunk could slow us down from getting there. Like water flowing over debris in a stream, the debris is surfacing to our awareness (in the collective and individually – as within, so without) to be healed.

 

I have experienced this firsthand as I’ve been guided this week to really slow down. I blocked my schedule off and gave myself a few days to just rest – I actually read a book (for pleasure!), and spent lots of time meditating in the woods. My body has telling me it’s time to rest more and more, and I’m finally starting to listen. (Sometimes we really need a few days to reset our bodies and hearts for healing and spiritual connection – the May retreat I’m offering next month will help to do just that!).

 

Isn’t this true for so many of us?

 

We’re often so hard on ourselves. For those Type A workaholic personalities like me that like to take action, there can be a part of us that really doesn’t want us to slow down – like an inner slave driver.

 

For me at least, this part doesn’t really want me to spend too much time tending to my own needs, rather more to the needs of others. It seems altruistic on the surface, but it actually has been harmful to me!

 

This is the inner work I often do with clients, experiencing this firsthand myself.

 

Becoming aware of the protective part and what it wants (or doesn’t want) for us is the first step. And maybe it’s trying to meet a need for us. So we ask our higher guidance how we can meet its need in another way And then it’s about actually making it happen in reality – taking action

 

For me, it’s about rest, healing, self-care and filling up my cup first (so I can then even better help others).

 

Bringing in balance.

 

As I was meditating in the woods the other day in the Akashic Records, I picked up on a past life as a pioneer girl walking a covered wagon train with my family. I was trying to help my family get food, but my sister died. I was blamed for not doing enough to save her. Walking enough or moving fast enough or something like that.

 

After my death in that body, I blamed myself. And I carried into this life a subconscious belief that I need to work a lot to prevent something bad from happening.

 

With this information, I helped to comfort that girl and then to let her rest. I let her rest as my adult self stood guard at the doorway, protecting her while she slept, read and played. I committed to regularly connecting with that inner part of me and continuing to let her rest whenever she wants.

 

I came out of my Akashic Records and then started walking back to the house through the woods.

 

But then I tripped on a stick (which I almost never do). I landed right next to a big rock with moss that had some beautiful quartz granite on it.

 

I lay there on the ground and just gazed at the rock. Something told me to put my body on the rock. I felt very powerful energy as the energy of the rock and the crystals within began to help heal me.

 

I’ve never been spiritually guided to something like that before that literally I fell into (or next to)!

 

Nature is and has always been my greatest teacher.

 

This is all very interesting as I am preparing for a three day hypnotherapy workshop on exactly this! Past life regression and inner child healing.

 

I was guided to do the work so I can better help others do the same.

 

This has been my experience for this week. (I was going to launch a new free hypnotherapy class this week but I gave myself the week off to rest. But stay tuned for that class coming up!)

 

Learning to be more instead of “do” more.

 

Learning to flow with the energies with my heart rather than the intellect of my mind (which can come along for the ride later). It’s a process to move into higher ways of being, as no one has ever taught us how to do this!

 

I hope that my story has been helpful in some way for you. It is a true blessing for me to work with resilient souls like you in this inner work. I am doing it right alongside you.
