Expectations can hinder you.

Love can release you.

I recently had a healing session to untangle my Mind so that I fully align with my Heart. (again). 

I was shocked at how hard my Mind struggled for control during the session. And, after what seemed like hours of negotiating with my Thoughts, my Mind finally relaxed. With that relaxation came a deep, peaceful sense that I was home again— present in my Heart.

It is not the first time I have worked to untangle my beautiful I-got-a-plan-so-let’s-get-things-going-Mind. That’s a repetitive pattern for me — to get all knotted up and lose track of my Heart's path. Then to get untangled, feel in the flow, and get happy again............ until...... I get tangled up again, and the cycle begins again. (at a different level)

We all have a few patterns that derail us from our truth. And little by little, we explore those patterns in various ways, giving them space to share their lessons with us and then untangle them. (Think of the many layers of an onion. As we allow room for healing, we untangle one layer at a time)

It can be disheartening to realize that patterns repeat and

that we have to work on them over and over to disempower them.

Those patterns we hold on to so dearly have a story attached to them —be that a limiting pattern or the wow-I-feel-amazing-blissed-out pattern. Our expectation of the outcome is what can hinder our transformational healing.

After that healing session, I found myself pushing for a “good” outcome: to know and get going on the next step. After a month of trying to make the outcome clear, it dawned on me that this impatience was a pattern, too, and it was sidetracking the healing. 

So, I asked myself, what if I step back and allow space for the gifts to surface? 
As I asked that question, I felt ease flow into my body-heart-mind and, with it, a sense of Love for myself and the healing journey.

Only Love can release expectations.

Love in the form of curiosity, gentleness, and giving some space to just BE- with what is— is how we genuinely transform. (And yes, to be present with Love each time that pattern shows up in its next iteration too) 

Loving where you are in this moment is how you grow, expand and connect to your Soul's guidance.

One of the most potent ways to be present (and loving) with a "block" is to follow your inner (Body) guidance and express what you feel through the language of your Soul. Creativity
