“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

There is so much wisdom in these words from Albert Einstein. However, too often when we are faced with a problem, we continue on our same path and then wonder, “why is my situation not improving?”

A key part of healing anything — whether it be a relationship, a financial situation or a general feeling of being stuck where you are in life — is shifting your focus, opening to a more expanded perspective and consciousness.

Health issues are no different. A health challenge, no matter how insignificant or serious you perceive it or label it, is simply a call to grow, to expand yourself. Something within you — it could be a particular thought pattern, some unprocessed emotions, a lack of self-value, a need to forgive someone or yourself, a need to slow down in life — SOMETHING within you is limiting you. And your body’s wisdom knows this and is trying to lift you to new heights in your life.

This is a signal that a transformation is happening within you. That’s a beautiful thing! It may not seem that way to you right in that moment. You may be in a lot of pain — either physically or emotionally. What you are going through probably feels very uncomfortable, frustrating, and even hopeless. I know because I have been there. It’s that yearning to break free from the struggle, but not knowing how you will do it.

There is a way. In fact, there are many ways because all the solutions are within us, and within us is abundance — that is our true nature.

How are you feeling in times of transformation is a natural part of healing and growth. So guess what? You are on your path! It’s all part of the journey, part of your beautiful unique journey.

You are transforming. You are birthing something new…something greater…something beyond your wildest dreams…something your mind cannot imagine at this moment — but something your heart already knows is real. 

You are on the beautiful journey from chrysalis to butterfly…and you will emerge and fly free!

The first step is to stop fighting it. Let go of the resistance. Embrace it. Shower it with love and gentleness. See it for the true purpose it is serving, which is to move you to life beyond what you are currently experiencing –a life filled with an abundance of love, joy, peace, freedom, and all that your heart desires.
