A Soul Message with the Ancestors

I need to be very honest today. I'm dying.

Not actually dying. Not yet anyway.

A part of me is dying, a part of me is being composted in order to allow the full emergence of my next self.

I have an aching in my jaw. I'm exhausted. I'm learning how to walk again. All of it is painful.

And while a part of me dies, I get to hold space for more and more of you. I love it.

Yesterday, I brought curiosity to the merging of the pain and the sweetness. Through tears, I asked my soul and the ancestors, “What is going on with me?”

The following is a universal message:

"Sweet one, you are shifting. You are dying. You are changing your entire life.

You are not actually dying but you are experiencing the pain of rebirth.

You are allowing the grief. You are good-bye-ing every moment, like it's the most important ritual of your life because it is.

Will you move through rebirths again? Of course. But like the past, the future is not real. The present moment is what is real.

In the present moment, in your deep presence with life, your goodbyes are important.

The very fact that you can offer this kind of presence to this moment is a sign of how much you have changed, how much you have grown, how much you are ready for all the newness about to shower down upon you.

You're not trying to get by in this lifetime. You are trying to get free. That is the hardest work of this timeline. Getting free is the hardest work.

To get free, you have to make tough calls, feel hard things, take dark roads, make choices others may not. So it does this body a great service to be present with the grief.

While it may not be the only emotion, grief is present, grief is your friend, and grief requires integration.

There is never really closure without integration and unification. We never close doors. We simply let them turn into invisible ties that bind us, to others, to all-that-is, in this dimensions and all dimensions."
