Phoenix rising
art story
The most important relationship that you can have is the relationship with yourself. You sometimes feel unaware of yourself, unaware of what your body needs, unaware of what your soul is asking, unaware of what your emotions are saying. Unaware. Or completely aware, wishing to just put it in a closet.
What you are seeking, lives inside of you. The door through your heart, into your soul, and beyond is a more beautiful and easier to access than the fight and war energy surrounding you.
Put down the energies that you do not need.
You are at a pivot point. If you go in the same direction, your horizon will remain the same. If you turn and peek around the corner, the horizon is filled with different opportunities. Some that will feel dis-familiar. Things that will not feel as they are part of your world, or part of your understanding, because they are not.
The gift of release is to open you up to something new.
There are things in your life, when we say a release, we mean shatter.
There are some things that are shattering.
And why must they shatter? Why must things shatter for you? Why must they shatter for anyone? It is because you would not let go of them otherwise.
The ruts that you get into can be so addictive.
And shattering can feel like such a dark knight of your soul. Such an existential crisis. Such a devastation.
And yet it is through some of the most intense fires that your friend, the Phoenix, arises.
