Sit in the Fire of your Own Truth...  And be in Allowance of the Flames to burn you to ashes..   Having Faith in the Universe ..  That it will rush in with a gust of Love so uplifting..  That your Soul will be rebirthed as a Phoenix of Hope and Inspiration.

Have you ever had one of those days?!  Where you would much rather pull the sheets up over your head, and stay in bed all day.   Filled with anxiety, heartache, depression, or even a perfect storm of all three, the mere notion of facing the day seems UNBEARABLE.   I sarcastically call this Morning Yoga.  I mean it usually does consist of various bodily contortions, trying to find a moment of inner peace, while still finding a way to BREATHE with restricted air flow from under the covers.  Right?!?!  LOL

However, if not careful, for too many of us, Morning Yoga, can morph itself into Afternoon Yoga, and then finally, Evening Yoga.  Not..that...I would know ANYTHING about that. :0)

The tidy little acronym from above came to me one particular such day, when it seemed like my Soul desired No Thing less than to escape its earthly constricted form, and coalesce back to its SOURCE.  It felt constricted and caged up. Like I literally needed to crawl out of my own skin!   And the pain, Aye Dios Mio....the PAIN!  As renown Pastor T.D. Jakes says, “Know when your space is too small for you..And you must be birthed to the next level.”  But couldn't Spirit just send us an email instead?! Just sayin'.......

Our suffering is often our Spirit calling for a lifeline into the Soul's version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.  It's a powerful, albeit often excruciatingly painful sign a miracle is looking to be birthed through you.   In order for the AMAZING, stupendous, disruptive calling you came to manifest to occur, there needs to be a larger gateway for SOURCE to work through.  You need to be rebirthed into the ‘The Greatest Vision of the Grandest Version’ of yourself!  And as all moms know, the birthing process is an arduous one.  It forces us to stretch and grow.  Often without having a single idea what might be waiting for us on the other side.  Tough stuff!  No doubt!  (Moms inner monologue..“YOU...have NO idea!!”  lol)

And as Joseph Campbell declared, “We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”  But that can be a Journey that sounds scary, overwhelming, and many of us refuse the calling.  Once we start down this path, life will never be the same again.  And somehow, we know it.  Letting go and having the courage to transform from the caterpillar into the beautiful butterfly takes a lot of faith and persistence,   not to mention the absolute willingness to allow the rebirthing process to occur.  And do you know what happens, if someone assists the newly formed butterfly, as it fiercely fights to break free from its cocoon?  It fails to gain the strength its wings need to fly, and it dies.  It actually MUST suffer in order to thrive!

I hope this little breakdown of suffering can be a constant reminder to you of the miraculous manifestations that are looking to breakthrough, allowing your CALLING to be of service to us all!
