“God will not give you more than you can bear. Just when it feels like your back is breaking…the weight is lifted & you can stand straight again. He knows just how much you can carry & you find out that you are stronger than you thought. You have also built muscles for the future.”― Sanjo Jendayi
Oftentimes when we come upon a mountain disguised as trials and tribulations, we try to move that mountain the hard way by putting our hands on it. In our minds, we think if we push hard enough we will move this mountain. Let me make this personal. Whenever I have been in the middle of a “situation” I go into fix it mode and try to “fix” the problem. I try to make sense of the situation, why I am there and then immediately go to put my hands on the mountain; exhausting more energy than necessary and quite possibly prolonging the lesson.
During my last storm, it took getting soaked in the drama before I went to put my hands on the mountain or someone. No, seriously. A part of me rose up that I had laid dormant some years prior. My inner hood chic still exists and she had no problems arising to defend me. In the heat of anger, I was gently reminded that I had the power to move mountains without moving a finger, without anger and without seeking vindication. Letting go isn’t as simple as just saying it…you have to put in the work. Instead of reaching outward, I took all of this inward and resumed working on me because I am the only one in this situation that I can change and self-work is continual.
I asked myself, “How can you change what you believe about this situation when the experiences you have had has convinced you otherwise?” The simple answer to that is to create a new experience. The best way for me to get that new experience is to meditate about how I can change the way I respond to what happens.The new response will create new results, which I will then experience it as a new reality.
To get back to my happy place, I had to believe everything that happens to me is the best possible thing that can happen to me. Meditating to help turn a bad situation into something good can be as easy as: 1+1 = 2. Believing that I was right where I was supposed to be in life and what is happening isn’t by accident but the best possible thing that can happen at this time helped me to see things more clearly.
GOD is THE GREAT BALANCER and knows exactly what I need and when. During meditation, the GOD in me became my counselor and I began to see so many times that I was pulled from the fire with minor burns where there could have been major damage or an all consuming flame totally destroying me. BUT GOD! I had all of the tools to work with for healing within myself and now, I have to continue the work.
When you are convinced of the truth that everything that happens is the best thing that can happen, you no longer push and fight against those mountains in life. You do the self work necessary to release, refresh and revitalize self thereby opening a new channel to happiness. All you need to know when meditating is happiness is there, waiting just for you. Meditation helps me to really understand that it isn’t the mountain that I must conquer but self.
It is not necessary to have all the ingredients of the outcome in hand at the outset. They will come at the appointed time. It’s only important that you move forward with becoming a better you until that appointed time comes. With the energy you create through meditation by moving forward as if you had all that is needed, you actually put into motion a start of events that will lead you to your success; be it self-healing, becoming a better person, career goals, etc…
Your actions create an energy that draws in the necessary ingredients of your project you have ventured into. Everything that you need for your venture is, in actuality, already there, waiting for you.You only need to draw in what is needed. There is really nothing more to all of this other than just you remembering to keep an open mind and find that peace that is buried deep within you.
The results that come with meditation cause you to experience peace within, which then proves to you that this is how things really do work. This leads you to soon believe that everything does indeed happen for your benefit. When you realize that is true, the deep sighs of relief will come. Meditation can certainly help you see the light.
The internet is a really great place to find out all of the information that you would need about meditation, in case you are interested in learning more about it for your own benefits. This is very important for you to consider doing because it will relieve you from so much stress circulating throughout your life each and every day. Try practicing meditation as often as you can because it is really beneficial in connecting you with your higher self and the truth that resides within.
During this time I am beginning to move mountains by faith. I am re-training my mind to my “new normal” and instead of seeing loss I am seeing my Angels guiding me and sometimes pulling me out of situations that did not serve me. Although, sometimes painful in the moment, hindsight always shows me the greater good. Today, I have decided to cut the energetic cords that bind me to certain situations. First, by ceasing any frivilous talk about the problems and second by completing a series of energy body work (Reiki) sessions to balance my chakras. THAT is how I will move mountains. I will completely heal and be the best person I can be, impacting the world around me authentically. The “Little Girl Lost” simply smiled and held my hand as we walked forward. Our muscles are getting stronger.
