As we ascend, we are also growing deeper into our bodies and souls and may find ourselves experiencing new aspects to our personality. \u00a0This is wonderful but challenging.\u00a0 There are many different shifts happening, but I will address one in particular which keeps showing up in myself and with my students and clients.<\/p>\n
Many spiritually inclined people have tended to be more selfless than is optimal.\u00a0 But they may find themselves lately having periods of very strong opinions and attitudes, even throwing the occasional temper tantrum.\u00a0 What is going on!<\/p>\n
In a more perfect world, we would all grow into our power as children.\u00a0 At the early ages of two to six years old we would have learned how to express our feelings, opinions, desires and needs.\u00a0 We would have parents that would teach us how to do that in appropriate ways which are respectful of others as well as ourselves.\u00a0 But when many of us were children, we just learned to cope.\u00a0 We may have learned to comply, be invisible, live outside of our bodies to dissociate from stress or suffering.\u00a0 We might have given our power away, hoping to be loved for making everyone else important instead of ourselves.\u00a0 Ascension is helping us to mature, heal and ascend these parts of us into wholeness.<\/p>\n
There are also those who came to believe that they were more important than others, who as they ascend get to learn compassion and to care about the good of others and our world.\u00a0 These and other lessons of human maturity have to be learned at some point.\u00a0 They are on the agenda for self-actualization as we ascend.<\/p>\n
Ascending now, those who have given our power away in the past may suddenly find ourselves with opinions, emotions and reactivity that we have not yet mastered.\u00a0 Fortunately, though we missed the chance to master these reactions as children, it\u2019s never too late. \u00a0But it can be frustrating and embarrassing, especially if we\u2019ve gone through life in the past believing we had already mastered them.\u00a0 Well, we probably have, we just get to do it again on a deeper level.<\/p>\n
I have been working through this process in my own life for over 35 years — mastering a level of myself, and then finding I have to do it again on another level.\u00a0 The years of deeper grounding and empowerment seem to prove that there is always so much more of me to discover and empower!<\/p>\n
As we master these powerful energies of personality, it\u2019s wonderful to feel free enough to accept and express feelings and desires in more comprehensive and increasingly appropriate ways.\u00a0 I\u2019m personally grateful those close to me still love me despite my own learning curve! \u00a0And I\u2019m very grateful for each new increase of strength, courage, compassion, and willpower.\u00a0 I humbly honor the option of apologizing when I have hurt someone\u2019s feelings due to my lack of skill at these very human levels of reactivity.\u00a0 I sometimes imagine creating a tee shirt that says:<\/p>\n
Soul under construction \u2013 pardon the mess!<\/p>\n
As we mature to a new level of wholeness in personality and soul, we can learn to be grateful and live in unconditional love even on that deeper level of ourselves.\u00a0 Bringing unity with Higher Self and God into these parts we can choose not to judge the awkward learning curves.\u00a0 Loving and embracing and bringing them up to speed with our enlightened self feels so wonderful.\u00a0 We become happy and content but newly empowered, rather than impatient or pissed off at everything!\u00a0 Welcome to the new world 2yr. old self!<\/p>\n
In addition to healing and educating parts of us that were left behind in our childhood, we may also be welcoming new facets of our soul into this incarnation.\u00a0 There is an element of soul rotation that happens as we ascend.\u00a0 We release old stuck parts to go back to spirit where they can heal and join our larger body of soul that is always in spirit.\u00a0 And then other aspects of our soul, built in earlier lifetimes will join our incarnation as their gifts are needed within our lives.\u00a0 As we ascend, more of this soul rotation is occurring.\u00a0 Our abilities to hold more of our soul potential and gifts increases along with our rise in vibration.\u00a0 These new parts may also need help to overcome feeling frustrated at this crazy old-world experience.\u00a0 We can reassure these parts of ourselves that it\u2019s just how it is for now, and it\u2019s going to be okay.\u00a0 Then we can love these new frustrated parts of ourselves unconditionally and teach them to relax judgments and come into unity with Higher Self.\u00a0 Once these new aspects of soul integrate, we will find ourselves feeling much more whole and confident in our ability to handle whatever life throws our way because we are increasingly whole and stronger than ever before.<\/p>\n
Let me explain what I mean by soul \u2013 As I understand it, a soul is the body of learning we have built through working through the opportunities and challenges of all our incarnations. \u00a0Each of us has a huge body of previously built soul that exists in spirit.\u00a0 Soul is the vehicle that allows our Higher Selves to incarnate and act within our lives. Each lifetime we contract certain aspects of our soul body to incarnate into our physical bodies.\u00a0 Our Higher Selves are then able to incarnate into those incarnate aspects of soul once they reach a level of enlightenment that can hold that unity.<\/p>\n
I love what happens when the newly incorporated parts of myself mature and harmonize within me. \u00a0Whether they are inner children or newly incarnating aspects of soul, as they come into harmony with my true nature, I once again feel wholly myself, only better than ever.\u00a0 I am by nature strong, joyful, and loving.\u00a0 It is hard when I feel the negative states of my less enlightened aspects expressing within my life.\u00a0 I feel like \u2013 Who is this person?!\u00a0 This can\u2019t be me!\u00a0 But as I work with my Higher Self to help mature and ascend these new parts, I love the greater wholeness and confidence it brings me.\u00a0 This is why I am grateful \u2013 so very grateful for this experience!\u00a0 Ultimately, I am just more myself than ever before and I love that!<\/p>\n
One thing I learned as I worked this process myself is to honor the right use<\/strong> of anger which I had to learn to accept rather than avoid. From an enlightened place it can be used in unconditional love to communicate something which won\u2019t be heard any other way, using just the right amount of force to get attention but not to damage. \u00a0Or it can be a wakeup call when needed. \u00a0That\u2019s a whole different experience than anger which springs from hatred and fear (though that can be a wakeup call telling us to do some healing and ascending of our old world self!). \u00a0Anger can also be used to help push through something for which we need more energy and force.\u00a0 If you are facing a huge task and find yourself being angry, it may be your way of overcoming resistance and fear and moving through what is needed.\u00a0 Knowing this we can use it for that, and not project it at others or blame anyone for it.\u00a0 It is just our strength rising up to meet the opportunity.<\/p>\n The limitations and challenges of our lives are always there for a purpose, though we may not immediately greet them with enthusiasm!\u00a0 I recommend learning to quickly refocus negative reactions into something like the following attitude:<\/p>\n \u201cEach circumstance is a timely gift for my soul growth so I can achieve what I most desire in my life.\u00a0 I am not being thwarted, I am being assisted to accomplish my true purpose and be fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>\n As we grow into the increasingly whole and ascended experiences of ourselves, we may find that the things we desired so badly at one time but didn\u2019t get, don\u2019t matter at all to us anymore.\u00a0 Trust your life\u2019s journey, there is a reason for the things in life which force you to grow.\u00a0 Learn to center within, access your inner wisdom and listen to the clear guiding message which is always there beneath our fears, judgments, and assumptions of life.\u00a0 That is your compass, and it always points you true north.\u00a0 Your Higher Selves true desire is hidden deep within you.\u00a0 Sometimes that message is so quiet it is hard to hear, but on some level, you know \u2013 you always know what you need to do next.<\/p>\n There may be times when your clarity will be clouded deliberately by your Higher Self, causing you to make a decision or go in a direction that is deeply challenging to you.\u00a0 Don\u2019t judge it or blame yourself.\u00a0 Once you are there, stay connected with Higher Self and centered in your strength as much as you can.\u00a0 Work to co-create the experience moment by moment.\u00a0 You will grow the muscles you need and come through stronger, clearer, and better than before.<\/p>\n One step at a time we find our way home to unity, wholeness, and the new world experience of co-creating life with our Higher Selves.\u00a0 It\u2019s worth the journey!\u00a0 I am grateful for your good work in your own ways.\u00a0 One person\u2019s success benefits all of us.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n Blessings and love to you each step of the way,<\/p>\n Eve<\/p>\n Resources for the Journey of Ascension:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As we ascend, we are also growing deeper into our bodies and souls and may find ourselves experiencing new aspects to our personality. \u00a0This is wonderful but challenging.\u00a0 There are many different shifts happening, but I will address one in … Continue reading \n
