Hi everyone
During a recent meditation, the message of Life Cycles came up strongly and wanting to share.
The universal principle of cycles is whatever rises must fall and whatever falls then rises again!
In my own life, I have been feeling that I’m pushing way too hard, similar to wading through thick mud. I finally worked through this and acknowledged that I have been in my WINTER SEASON Cycle and needed the past 3 months to be patient, rejuvenate, silently learning and growing.
I acknowledge now that it’s impossible to be on the RISE constantly.. We are unable to be in our Summer and action phase ALL year round! It’s ok and natural to be in a falling cycle and hibernate and await for my Spring Season to come along… The past few weeks, I have been meditating daily; learning, reading and writing ideas down that come to me.. My time to rise again is coming and I’m ready… Whoo hoo!!
Understanding that life is made up of many cycles, and each year is also made up of our four seasons that we can relate to our own life experiences. This has been a massive learning curve for me… Although, I already knew the information, to fully experience being in winter but trying way too hard within my own life in every waking moment with minimal results has been a huge lesson for me. It’s very ok to not push so hard… and to await for the passing of winter and the next season to come along…
As the Chinese Proverb states “Patience is Power, with time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes silk!”
Life is made up of a series of cycles. For example, nature exists within massive pattern of cycles that occur automatically such as sunrise and sunset; the passing of our four seasons; new moon (waning) to full moon (waxing) and the ebb and flow of the tides.
Life for ourselves move in a series of cycles, spiralling towards our own awareness and growth. Similar to the BLACK SPIRAL below and imagine another spiral next to it on the right then another one and so forth. Every 9 years a complete cycle ends then another begins. We are always moving and as the spiral moves in each cycle, we are working towards finding clarity, direction, insights and conscious awareness in our life experience. This allows us to move from one Life Cycle to the next Life Cycle easily and an acknowledgment of challenges and barriers in our life and the connection as to why they are presented to us. All of us are only tested on the challenges that we can deal with.
Also, the challenge/situation/event will keep presenting itself in different scenarios until you have learned your soul’s lesson.
Within our own life span, it is vital to move through as many cycles as possible to learn, grow, evolve and experience life! This means, we need the ability to be able to manifest and move forwards within our lives – i.e direction in your life.
10 TIPS to enable us to move forwards in our own personal and spiritual growth!
1. Within our lifespan; we have many cycles and each calendar year brings the cycle of the ‘seasons’. We also are in 9 year life cycles (not seven). Acknowledging that the passing of the seasons is a full circle. This gives us a feeling of security and a sense of timing. If we allow ourselves to wait and be patient and prepare for the opportunity then most opportunities come around again!
2. Work out, where you are in your life cycle for the year. For example;
a) Winter (hibernation and patience),
b) Spring (planting the seeds, creating and re-birth),
c) Summer (brings on ripening and continuation) and
d) Autumn (harvesting your efforts and labour – reaping your rewards) then back to Winter again = FULL CIRCLE!
3. Know that there are times in your life cycle for greater action (rising) and to express fully and be heard and there are other times to be still and to be silent and a time for calm reflection (falling).
4. Understand that when we know where we are in our cycle and what to do, we are able to create good timing and more success, growth and movement for ourselves. There is nothing worse than an awesome idea/project/business being actioned at the ‘wrong’ time or in our winter cycle. OR being stuck and stagnant and ‘struggling’ in your life experience.
5 Asking yourself; “Were there times in my cycles of working, personal, relationships life that were of ease and others during difficult times, constantly pushing/working hard in every area of your life?”
6. As this calendar year is ending; reflect upon your four seasons of your life cycle and whether in times of
‘Winter’ – did you slow down and have patience; learning and quiet times/reflection? Or did you rush, being impatient of the upcoming Spring?
7. During Spring time, did you start to plant the seeds for this new beginning? Or did you ignore this planning and creating time?
8. In times of Summer; are you making it HAPPEN and in ACTION? OR are you procrastinating and being stagnant and stuck?
9. During times of Autumn; are you letting go and allowing the action to continue and not forcing or pushing too hard?
10. HONOUR what Season YOU are in your yearly cycle; Consistent Action (even if it is only 20 minutes for the day); TRUST; FEEL AND LIVE LIFE EXPERIENCING ALL IT’S LESSONS.
LIFE AND IT’S CYCLES ARE OUR PRECIOUS GIFT!
