The Wisdom of Cycles

This week I experienced another round of healing a deep wound I didn’t know existed. Like the others, it was painful and emotional. I have written about my awakening process and the spiritual experiences I’ve had for five years. I feel ready for a shift.

Spiritual awakening is a growth process. More about expansion than elevation. It is a messy business at times. We grow through it. We learn along the way, and it helps us move forward in our lives.

For me it was learning to trust the process and go with the flow. It was also about expanding awareness to the aspects I couldn’t see. Feeling. Acknowledging. Healing. Growing. New Awareness. Over and over in cycles that echo over time and space. And my life.

In recent months, I have moved through more cycles that I thought possible. My awakening process has sped up. And I continue to expand my understanding of the process and of the energies.

The cycles I’ve moved through recently have expanded my consciousness and released illusions, attachments, and expectations. I have been able to apply wisdom and move through the cycles with more ease.

Lately, I feel I am moving away from the desire to write about my process. It now feels like I am being asked to share my wisdom. My writing feels ready for a shift.

The Wisdom of Cycles.

From my own experience, our awakening process is about cycles. The cycles of our lives, our thoughts, and feelings are examined in detail. We move through them as we grow. Each cycle brings its own wisdom. The wisdom of cycles.

Each cycle is interconnected. When we view our life as a whole, we see cycles repeating. They echo back at us until they are healed. We may not always be aware of what we’re healing until we move through the process. But in hindsight we see the cycles and patterns of the process and that is growth.

Each topic of healing is interconnected as well. One situation inspires an unexpected wound. Or we find ourselves in a situation directly related to what is ready to heal. Sometimes our core wounds are revisited later in life, allowing them to heal and allowing us to heal. Our wounds impact many areas of our lives and so does healing.

Trusting the process is essential. Sometimes it is easy to trust the process and allow it to happen for us. Sometimes the process inspires emotions, and our thoughts and ego want to fight. When we are unable to trust, we can choose to surrender to the process and call that trust. Or when it becomes challenging, we can call not quitting trust.

Many of our core wounds are based on illusions, unhealthy attachments, and/or expectations. Once we have awareness of our wound we can choose to step back from the emotion of it. We can separate our emotions from the wound and look at it with clear eyes. From a different perspective we soften the energy around the wound. And eventually find our way to healing.

Wisdom is gained through experience. With each cycle, we gain experience. Noticing the phases of the cycles, the patterns, can help us detach more from emotion, and focus on the process of healing. With awareness, we can step out of the suffering and notice the pattern of healing. We can choose to operate from our wisdom rather than our ego, thought, or emotion.

As we move through our spiritual awakening process, we learn and grow. There are ups and downs, changes and evolutions. Every part of it changes us. It is our choice, our free will to continue the process, or not.

Against perceived odds, I have chosen to continue my awakening process and spiritual path. I have also chosen to allow the shift to happen for me. A desire to shift what I’ve been writing about. I am ready for a shift and I’m allowing it to happen for me.

An Update.

An update on my housing situation. I have been offered a roof over my head and will have a place to live. Once this post is published, I will be moving house again. I am grateful to receive and be in the flow of material abundance.
