Are you making the choice to grow?

​
​Any fork in the road you encounter in your life is not just any old fork in the road. It’s a moment of choice between reinforcing your past self, your old self, a self you ought to have completed a single cycle or more ago, and birthing a new self, a more actualized, a more aware, a more evolved and integrated self.

You’ll know exactly what these moments are – they’re the moments that feel like a tough or difficult decision, they’re the moments that stir up a swirl of emotions within you, they’re the moments that incite mental turmoil and relational conflict within you and between you and others in your life.

If you’re experiencing anything other than flow, openness, embodied awareness, and a sense of ease, if you’re experiencing any level of contraction about something or someone in your life, you’re coming up against patterns within your own psyche and being that need to be resolved. You’re coming face to face with stories or narratives you formed at some point that need to be completed. Your waking reality forever remains a reflector of your own interior. Your outer world and everything that shows up within it is a mirror in service of your evolution.
​
Your own evolution shows up again and again as a fork in the road, as a pivotal moment of choosing between the old and familiar you and the new more empowered or more in-lightened you. Life and the moments it springs up before your eyes is continually beckoning you forward into your full potential, into your expansion. Life asks you again and again: who are you going to choose to be in this moment?

Are you choosing to reinforce the same familiar patterns in these moments? Are you engaging and re-engaging in the same behaviors and conversations in these moments? Are you running the same familiar emotions, your familiar biochemical additions? Or are you stretching out of the familiar into new patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving? In one path, you’re maintaining the same old synapses and biochemical addictions. You’re making use of the same word choices and postures. You’re rehearsing the same old internal narratives about yourself, your relationships and your world. “I don’t matter. I’m not good enough. This is so hard. I’m not like them. I don’t belong here. No one ever listens to me. They never let me do what I want. They’re always like this to me. Nothing ever works out for me. Life is such an uphill battle. Two steps forward ten steps back. What if they don’t like me? What if they don’t want me? I’m so frustrated with him. I’m so angry with her, she always does this. We’ll be lucky if we make it. It’ll be good if she sticks around long enough. Why is he always like that? I just don’t understand her.” You’re asking the same old questions and cycling the same familiar currents of energy and creating the same blockages and stagnation's within the layers of your being.
​
In the other path, you’re creating new connections in the brain and establishing new systems of witnessing and participating in your world. You’re asking different questions, questions that elevate the flow of energy in your being. You’re activating new constructs around yourself, your relationships and your world. You’re cycling new currents of energy and creating flow. You’re choosing new words and new level of expressions. You’re doing and being something and someone different. You’re being someone new. You’re birthing a new quality of self.

The evolutionary impulse of life is continuously trying to emerge through you in every moment of your life. Every heartbeat means to pulse you right into a new more expanded wave of expression. New systems of thought are trying to take root in your psyche with every relationship you find yourself in and with every cycle of growth you complete, whether that growth cycle is a few days, a few months or seven years. You are given the choice to evolve and grow over and over again with every situation, with every relationship, with every encounter. You are meant to release old patterns, old constructs, and stored emotions from your nervous system. You are meant to clear and purge your nervous system of murky stagnant energy. You are meant to be a clear reflector of Universal Energy so that your life becomes a reflection of your mastered self. You are meant to be in flow, have flow, and live from that flow.

Flow means that energy both within you and moving through you is circulating without losing momentum and without being dispersed haphazardly. It means that the downward currents of manifestation and the upward currents of consciousness expansion through your energy centers and channels are cycling through your being unobstructed. It means that you are remaining in your connection and awareness of higher perspectives while being grounded in your third dimensional experiences. Flow means being tuned in, tapped in, and turned on to Universal Energy. Flow means ongoing and continual growth in your upward energy movement from matter to expansive consciousness and in your downward energy movement from expanded consciousness into matter. Flow means the ongoing integration of spirit and matter, consciousness and form, in both directions.

So every moment is asking you to empty of the old and bring in the new. Every moment is asking you to grow and ground. Every moment is asking you to elevate higher and get rooted deeper. Ask yourself: how is this situation, relationship, event inviting me to grow? How is this situation, relationship, event calling me to look at the constructs, definitions, and patterns within myself? How am I responding to this – am I responding to it from old familiar perspectives, or am I responding to it with the fullness of my highest self? If I were to grow and expand here, what would I release and what would I allow?
​
Take everything that shows up and everyone that shows up to be an invitation for you to do just this – to shed the old, to release who you have been, to change your frames of reference to ones of higher quality, and to allow the highest expression of self and the highest interpretations of others and the world at large again and again and again.
