When the valley becomes darker and the peak seems so far away. When the sadness of betrayal sets in and all that you’ve worked so hard to “become” is challenged. When you just don’t want to forgive because you are too angry or too trespassed or too humiliated, this is your moment to breathe more deeply. This is the moment to let ancestral tears run their course through your veins. This is the moment to not berate yourself for not being who you think you should be.

The brighter your Light, the darker the energy you magnetize. That is the nature of balance. Your power lies in your ability to observe and not react. Your power is in the breath you take so deep it burns and causes tears to spill innocence out of your jaded eyes. Your power is in your willingness to feel it all and become still so that when you do move, it is a movement full of grace.

When the teachings disguised as torrents swirl through your peaceful life – because they will – don’t rush to remain serene or to forgive if it isn’t a natural response. It is inauthentic to your process as a human being. Feel it all. And remember that you are not defined by your thoughts or your emotions. Your actions are what determine the quality of your character. Allow yourself to grieve and repeat these affirmations to carry you through to who you really are:

I am willing to forgive

I am willing to heal

I am willing to see this situation through the eyes of the Divine

Your willingness will set you free…..
