Releasing What Doesn’t Align

Unlearning has been, and continues to be, an important process for me. I’ve found that the more I release, the more opportunities there are to return. Because once you “unlearn” or even recognize what isn’t aligned, then you have space to get curious and fill that space with what is aligned. I look to the Earth for example. To how the birds move and the sky sings. To how darkness and light only exist in relation to each other, and how endings are fertile soil for the new. There is so much in the Collective Experience that is categorically unsustainable. And yet as a whole, we tend to favor certainty over the unknown. We cling to what is - because we don’t know what the unknown may bring. We ask; what if it’s worse? And in this dance we end up staying exactly where we are, clinging to what “works” except it doesn’t “work” because it’s not sustainable. Once we notice the pattern, we can have compassion for ourselves and for how challenging growth can be and we can get curious.

I look to the Earth for example. I think alignment means a return to what has always been. So I hold my fear of the unknown when it visits, but I trust in the momentary discomfort that comes with not knowing. I trust my feelings to bring me information. I trust myself to navigate what comes. And I listen to something beyond what the ears can hear. Creation pulses with all the information we could ever need, all the templates and insights required already surround us. There’s no need to cling, not when we’ve chosen to remember. And this remembering is what invites us to consider that maybe we can greet whatever comes with presence.

Growing just as Creation shows us things grow.
