Nothing is Going on!? Not True!
When you plant a seed in
the ground - you water it and then wait. It can often take several
days or weeks to see a sprout emerge. While you wait, it is easy to
doubt the process of germination, question your ability to garden,
wonder if it has the proper amount of water, or maybe ponder if the
seed was bad and will never sprout. Then one day, a little green
shoot appears, providing proof of how something was evolving,
growing, and occurring – even if it wasn’t visible to the naked eye.
It is easy to demand instant gratification and results - losing
sight of how fully formed growth takes time to develop. It takes
time for new doors to open, time for manifestation to become
reality, and time for progress to become results. These things are
usually not obvious to us or are not done in steps that we can bear
witness to. This is the cycle of growth and of life. It is important
to trust in the process of creation.
We are all called upon
to trust the process of our life and the power of our intention -
our creative process. It is critical to trust whether the process
seems to be moving at light speed or a snail’s pace. In fact, the
speed of the process may be a message for you – a reminder to remain
grounded or an opportunity to rest and regroup before the next surge
of activity arrives. Perhaps things are moving slowly because you
are being called to learn, heal, or grow. Maybe something you
created is in its gestation stage - much like a seed that must first
create firm roots before appearing above ground.
All is in
Divine order. Be filled with this knowing and walk this path,
trusting it to be true. All will be revealed, and sometimes that
clarity occurs in retrospect.
The great Mother, the keeper
of cosmic balance, has been awakening many over the last several
years. Her energy is intense and is often expressed as the Void - as
an emptiness or nothingness prior to manifestation or renewed
activity. Sometimes it will express as your inability to act,
physical exhaustion, or a general feeling of being blocked.
For many, being called to embody the Void is a frightening and
challenging experience. To embody this nothingness and to be at
peace with it is a part of the cycle of existence. Do not fear that
you are blocked, stuck, or that you are a failure – understand that
it simply might be the time for you to experience being the Void. It is
a period of rest to facilitate the birth of something new for
yourself and for the world.
I recently felt frustrated that
nothing was happening in my little part of the world. As my
irritation continued, I had an accident that laid me up for a while.
I was told in my meditation work that if I had allowed the
experience of nothing – the Void - and embraced it, there would have
been no need for an accident that forced me to do/be just that!
The truth of this resonated with me. I totally surrendered to
this part of my journey and allowed it unfold as it needed to. As a
result, I am in a better place within myself. I have a clearer
understanding of where I am headed spiritually. And the best part
is, I am totally at peace.
‘Void’ experiences are a part of
every Creation and Manifestation journey and every person’s
spiritual growth journey. To hold that energy within yourself is to
embody the Great Cosmic Mother. It is a powerful creative force and
a powerful teacher.
When nothing is moving, please don’t
fight it. Instead try to embrace it and to allow it to be how it is
- until it is time for that experience to change. You will be glad
you did!
