Endings are Invitations ~ 1

When we meet and fall in love, it’s because we are open to receive it and we easily flow with new experiences to explore. But not all relationships last forever. When the relationship ends, it now leaves us open, once again, to move into new experiences to explore. However this movement of change is not always easy to transition into because it’s not as joyful as falling in love. Nevertheless, we can assure ourselves that this ending has come our way because we are meant to experience it, to feel it, and to grow from it.

What if we look at ‘endings’ as an invitation?

·      An invitation to accept where we are, by surrendering to whatever uncertainty lies ahead.

·    An invitation calling us to look deeply inward, to uncover inner resources that will help navigate the process of renewal.

·        An invitation to find the courage to forgive others, and the strength to love our-self as the ultimate elixir in rebuilding a new beginning.

·         An invitation to embrace change as a rite of passage on our journey of life.

To face this invitation, is to trust the process of life that is fated especially for you to experience. This requires a willingness to be vulnerable to confront any hidden, unpleasant, and unspoken emotions that you may be holding on to. If you instead avoid those emotions, you are only handing over your power to them and now they own you in an unhealthy way. Only by facing your feelings honestly, without guilt or shame, can you allow your emotions to move through you so you can reclaim your power.

When we take the time to honor endings, explore our emotions, and heal the split within, then we are open to receive a new beginning, liberated from the past. It all starts while standing at the crossroads of the past - the life you knew - and the future - the road of uncertainty.
