Following on from Episode #57, which introduced us to total silence and stillness, today we unpacked why silence and stillness is so important to us.
When we receive our intuitive or creative spark, it's like we lit a flame. A tiny flame that we can't just make bigger with "more flame"...we learn that to fuel this tiny flame into a bonfire, we need to nurture our tiny flame and fuel it with RESISTANCE!! That's right! Resistance!
Often when we have our creative or intuitive spark, we snuff it out by going to our egoic will rather than being patient, nurturing our tiny spark and waiting for the next intuitive step from our divine will. Between those intuitive sparks are...can you guess??? That's right...RESISTANCE!
How funny is that?
We often think that when the resistance comes, we "made a mistake" or our "idea wasn't any good" or our lack or limitations start to arise. Basically, anything within the field that isn't aligned with that creative spark will show up in our lives through our fears. It's then that we often stop or we ignore, or we give up or we start to get angry and resentful...BUT...that IS the gift! That resistance is the fuel for our fire.
So, let's be with that resistance, however it may present in our lives. It will come to us through strangers, our children, our partner, family members or external events or signs. Start to listen to what that resistance is showing us exactly at that moment. Watch as that resistance is the exact fuel for your tiny spark to nurture it into the bonfire.
We now start to look and hear and feel and sense between the words. The silences reveal what we couldn't see when we were attached to the noise, the drama and the chaos. It's like we are taking our focus off the material world and allowing the wholeness to be our new way of being and doing.
We'll feel the agitation within. We'll feel the anxiety, tiredness and pull of the material world desires - that's the resistance. So instead of reacting to it, allow it to be there, feel the emotions and stay focused in your stillness and silence.
What comes after that resistance when we sit with it, allow it, even love it (if we can!!)...the next intuitive spark... and around we go again! Surely we can smile at that?!? The universe is so cleverly designed even when it feels really hard with overwhelming emotions.
Life will bring intuitive, creative, expansive ideas, people, events and then we'll be met with resistance. That is our path of growth and expansion and it leads, paradoxically, into greater and more through our path of inner truth.
It is the exact path back to our heart. Our heart is where our home is. If you feel called to come home to your heart, let's love and trust the whole process of remembering who we are.
Learning to love resistance is like building a muscle on the inside louder than the outer noise. If we can be with our resistance, knowing full well it's fuelling our bon fire within, then we can smile as it holds hands with our creative intuitive sparks.
Stay soft, stay gentle, stay kind.
With an open and grateful heart,
Melissa
