Transformation Series Part III: The Abyss
Sometimes, despite our best efforts to cope with the loss experienced through change, the space created can feel like a black hole. This space feels seemingly endless, void of emotion or meaning, and unbelievably lonely. We are faced with the notion that we are utterly alone in our journey and that no one can truly understand what we are going through. We may feel the urge to retreat to the old ways of doing things or connect with people from our past because toxic or draining is, at the very least, familiar. We can become attached to the idea that we may not find connections as deep, or a lifestyle as exciting, as those we are moving away from. This is fear. This is a scarcity mindset. This is your Ego, the voice of can’t/not worthy/not good enough.
As we evolve and grow, our Ego fights back and works to protect us from the unknown. When we submit to Ego, we fall right back into our old way of thinking and doing and never rise to the occasion to create the life we are worthy of living. Being ruled by Ego means we are leading a life ruled by fear. It takes courage to talk back to this voice and begin courageously stepping into the unknown and embracing The Abyss. When we ask Ego to take a backseat, we realize the truth; The Abyss is a place of limitless possibility.
When we shift our scarcity mindset to an infinite outlook, suddenly the world turns right side up. We realize the feelings of emptiness and loneliness are our Ego’s way of making sense of this infinite space of possiblity. We realize leading with fear is clouding the way forward. When we shift to the positive, the Universe has our back and the New can finally begin to take shape.
Ways to Welcome the New:
Reminding yourself moments of fear are part of being human. Allow it to pass, remind yourself you are worthy of this path, focus on the infinite potential in-front of you.
Bring more focus to the areas of your life that bring you joy. What we give our attention to grows.
Rather than working to control your world, accept The Abyss as an opportunity to manifest rather than build. When we try to bend the Universe in the direction we THINK we want, by building with a narrow vision, we miss what is truly meant for us. Look for signs, listen to your inner voice… that gut instinct is pointing you in the right direction.
Fear in the The Abyss is a temporary state. This will pass, the Universe has your back, trust that there is an even greater plan.
Love & Light,
Sarah
