An Opportunity to Expand

An opportunity or invitation to expand can come in many different ways. Usually, the emotions it emits comes up first. For example, it can come through as fear, excitement, jealousy, etc.

I'll give you an example. Say you see someone offering a service or doing something and it gives you a feeling of jealousy. If you reflect inward, what is this jealousy saying about yourself? It's not about the person doing the thing, it's your response to the doing that is important as people are just mirrors for ourselves. Maybe you feel like you can do a similar offering and you're jealous that they are putting themselves out there in a way that you wish you could.

This is an invitation to expand. Expand into the places where you are shrinking or not filling up to your full potential.

This feels pertinent to share going into the holiday season when there is more interaction with people; extended family members, acquaintances, etc and oftentimes leads to more scrutiny. This is also a good lesson in boundaries, but if we are thinking of expanding from hurtful or combative things people say (ie: so why did you get divorced?, you've put on weight since last year, why did you buy me socks for Christmas, you know I hate socks?) you know the typical comments. Not only are these a projection of their own patterning and "stuckness," but ultimately we have no control over how others perceive or react to us. It's not our job. Our job is to be so in touch with ourselves that external forces don't impact our own alignment. Not to say that it doesn't hurt or that someone has the right to say or do something, but seeing things from a macro point of view to see that this stuff isn't actually about me. Hurt people hurt people. And these instances are ways in which some hurt people feel powerful or more in control. By inflicting hurt onto other people - whether consciously or unconsciously.

In these moments, how are we being asked to expand and see ourselves better? If some comments still really hurt, there may be more opportunities to heal that part of yourself. Peeling back more layers to get to the root cause so that when things are said or done, it doesn't sting as much. Being so in touch with your body and knowing that it is just a vessel to the divine that comments about weight or appearance are just interesting to notice the value that person places on vanity. We've evolved or expanded past the consciousness and belief system that that person has so their opinion does not factor in. Does that make sense?

I am writing this on the Gemini Full Moon in December 2022 and it's so fitting that these words are coming out now. The Gemini moon is good for clearing your chakras, being grateful for all we have been given and manifesting for 2023. What are you needing to clear to be fully integrated and ready for a great start to 2023? What opportunities for expansion are coming to you that you can utilize going forward with this new awareness?

If you would like my assistance in doing so before the end of the year, I would be happy to help but please know that my calendar is getting limited so I recommend booking in as soon as you can.

I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season and I will see you in 2023.
