Today I pulled a card as part of my morning practice (as I usually do), and while reading the transmission there was a line that really jumped out at me.
"Give up your attachment to past experiences of rejection and abandonment so that you can open up to how much the Divine loves you and can help you."
She continued, "Practice feeling the confidence and unconditional trust in a higher power, knowing it is stronger than all else." (Alana Fairchild's Earth Warriors deck)
“Attachment to past experiences” rang with an echo in my consciousness.
Our feelings are the chemical response to the experiences in our life. When an emotion has a strong enough charge or, is felt repeatedly, we end up overly identifying with it. It becomes our personality, our story.
Something that the ego likes to do is have an identity to claim, to relate to. I am “this” I am “that.” It NEEDS to have a sense of individuality and place in the world even if that “place” is a position of someone who identifies with abandonment or rejection.
The Soul, on the other hand, resonates with unity consciousness - that is, the knowing that we are all one. The Soul receives nourishment from oneness.
The ego is threatened by support because it is threatened by giving up control, the Soul knows that in receiving support you can open up in a greater expressive capacity.
In this practice of putting your trust in the Divine, in a Higher Power, it is important to recognize this - you are not putting your trust or giving power to anything outside of yourself.
Stop thinking of the Divine as something separate from you. This “higher power” is your Higher Self, the aspect of you that has never left Source/ God/ Creator/ Creatrix. This higher power is the aspect of you that hasn’t fallen into the illusion of separation or disempowerment- into the amnesia which is the human experience.
This all sounds mystical and great right? But when it comes down to it, how do we actually bring it into practice? How do we actually release these attachments? Through practice. Daily practice. Reminding yourself of this simple yet penetrating truth and committing to the change. Remember, change happens on a moment to moment basis. It's in the moments we decide to act differently, to choose differently.
Here is an affirmation you can say everyday to get you started
“I am willing to learn to let go of my past experiences and embrace a life that includes ________” fill in your blanks (support, safety, self love & acceptance, community, etc).
