Open to receiving
One of the things I’ve experienced through the Akashic Records is more openness. I’ve been encouraged over and over again to be more open to receiving, to allow things to unfold naturally over time, and not to close myself off to opportunities because I think they may be something other than what I want.
Fighting vs open
I’ve also seen this in my clients. There are those who will fight with the messaging that comes through and have firm beliefs and expectations. There are others who are completely open to hearing the message and take it on board with an open heart.
Funnily, my readings for the latter flow so much more easily than for those who are closed off. The information pours in rather than being bottle necked. I used to think it was me and that I wasn’t connecting well to their Records, but I’ve since discovered that it’s more about them than it is about me. Because they have certain expectations, anything outside those expectations struggles to come through. It’s like a tap has been turned to a dribble rather than a full flow.
Resistance
So when I’m being told through the Akashic Records to remain open and to let things unfold, I listen. I was told the other day to let go of my fears, and that I could identify my fears by the amount of resistance I was feeling.
Quite often we don’t realise we actually have fears hiding in the background. Personally, I think I’m quite an open person and yet there are still fears lurking away and it’s only when I identify where I’m resisting and delve into that, that I can discover the underlying fear.
Losing myself
One of my fears is losing myself in a relationship. I’ve done this very effectively most of my life, and it has taken quite some time and effort to regain my sovereignty. What this means is that I’m resisting the possibility of any new relationships entering my life.
Right now I’m happy with my own company and am, in fact, revelling in it, but we are at the beginning of a 9 year cycle and the decisions I make now may influence the rest of that cycle, so I’m being encouraged to remain open to receiving.
I’m being told to be open to exploring how a new relationship might help me to expand and grow in unknown areas, and how new opportunities will arise because of that openness.
I have also been told that:
Opportunities will not arise if you are not open to receiving them
Hmmm. Food for thought. If I’m closed off, the opportunities won’t appear. If I’m open to them, opportunities will arise where I least expect them.
Allowing opportunities
This goes for any area of our lives. I’m using myself as an example here, but if we are closed off in any particular area, then the likelihood of new and wondrous opportunities is limited. It just can’t get through.
We want these amazing experiences, and we often see other people experiencing what we want and wonder why that’s not happening for us. We feel like we are doing everything right and yet things aren’t working out how we want them to.
Where are you resisting?
So the question is, where are you resisting? What are you holding onto that is closing off the tap, pinching off the flow, and stopping opportunities opening up for you.
Once resistance is identified and brought to your attention, it is easier to see and understand what beliefs are holding you back and stopping you form reaching your full potential. You may decide that you are happy with the way your life is and don’t wish to make any changes. Kudos to you if you have achieved that already! But for those of us who feel there is something more, and you want to reach your full potential in this lifetime, then it requires us to dive into the beliefs that are in place to see whether they are still serving. If not, it’s time to shed those old beliefs and put new ones in their place.
Changing beliefs
So where I have a belief that I lose myself in relationships, I need to change that belief to one where I know a new relationship can support my sovereignty and build on that in a beautiful, unencumbered way.
It’s quite the mindset shift but it also brings with it a feeling of expansiveness. Just sitting here writing this and thinking about the two mindsets, I get a sense of contraction when I think about my belief that I’ll lose my sovereignty, and then I get a feeling of expansion when I think about building on my sovereignty in a new relationship.
Better than you could imagine
Things, people, events or situations may not turn out how we wanted them to be, but if we are open to the possibilities they allow, they may be better than we could have imagined. Sometimes our expectations place restrictions on us rather than allowing us the freedom to receive in a different and unexpected way. Our expectations close the tap rather than open it.
My intention for this year is to be open to receiving, to allow, to let go of expectations and let things unfold. I will look back with interest at the end of the year to reflect on how it all came together and how being open allowed possibilities I never anticipated.
