New space = More opportunity

Hi beautiful beings,

I have been writing on my own, yet it is not until this moment I have felt called to share. With so much unfolding in my life, stepping into a physically new space, grounding in my new home, and acclimating to all the change, I have not seen the opportunity to authentically show up to share… until now.

Grace and new space are the words flooding my mind.

I moved to the North Shore of O’ahu, and once I fully accepted and calmed the excitement and shock that is my dream being my reality, I also began to panic.

My family is far away, I am on my own. I am officially out of the nest.

Yet I am in my favorite place, surrounded by untouched beauty, the ocean at my fingertips, and amazing beings all around me. How exciting! Going full force, I was filling my days with anything and everything I love to do. I became tired and frustrated that I did not have the energy to do everything - how silly I know, but I almost got too excited. I lost myself in doing things, in missing family, and honestly distracting myself from being present in all the change.

Once I took stillness, accepted all the change in my life, I felt grateful for the exact moment I was in. A moment which flooded my mind with the truth. Through faith in the unknown, the flow of life naturally reveals itself through blessings, lessons, and authentic experiences.

This means many things, yet none of which have been revealed yet — until today.

Today I learned how to give myself grace, along with recognition of the new space. I became aware I was trying to pull my old habits, ones that once felt like bliss and peace, into this new life as if I was trying to fit a triangular block into a circular hole. It simply does not fit, but it is not meant to.

This is where life gets cool. This is where I have found the result of acceptance and surrender to what is to bring the highest peace.

When moving into a new chapter of life, a key is release of old habits and likes from one’s old chapters. Because when one tries to pull those things into their new scenario, it may not fit. Of course, this is where awareness comes in. Being aware of what is best in the situation. However, in my particular situation, I found my old habits, my recent ways of living - which brought me peace back in New York - were turning into limiting beliefs and attachments. These only detoured myself from showing up in the present moment.

So, what does that look and feel like?

When one is doing something, overthinking something, or craving something that feels forced, it may be due to a habit or belief that does not serve anymore. This is natural because as humans we are ever evolving. We are evolving of course on a grand scale of the human race, but it starts individually. It starts with each one of us.

Change feels uncomfortable, especially when it is discovered first in our minds and not physical life. We are given choice:

Stay comfortable and force what does not serve anymore. Keep in mind, when habits become a limiting cycle, consciousness is lost. It is difficult to break these cycles, and if not broken for a long time, incoherent brain waves expand to the physical field. I have found this to show through mental or physical health struggles.

OR

Embrace your inner strength, release old versions, and surrender to the new unfolding. Become excited about what you will learn about yourself when you have faith in the unknown rather than fear. By tuning into intuition and living intentionally, the flow of life will unveil endless opportunities.

Breaking it down like this makes the choice easy…right?

Nothing is easy, but life through a lens acceptance, gratitude, and love makes it clear why the uncomfort in situations is worth it. On the other side is growth, and growth leads to a peaceful life of faith in the natural flow of what simply is.

By allowing yourself to evolve and change, you are not only setting yourself free, but your are expanding a light energy that impacts the rest of life on earth.

On this last day of July, I am thankful for this gift of discovery about myself. My theme of August is to take stillness before action by showing grace for myself as my new space is filled by the synchronicities and opportunities that are ahead. By realizing this, I reground myself.

There is no rush, for you are exactly where you are meant to be.

Moving into this new month, I encourage you to find stillness within yourself by checking in on what truly feels good for you, what may you need more of, and in what ways can you show yourself grace?

Take what you need, Come As You Are.

With love,

Ra <3
