The Enlightening Soul with Shelley Young

Comments? We'd love to hear them!

Resistance is always an act of futility because it is continuing to engage with the unwanted. The old energies celebrated struggle and the no pain, no gain mentality which is energetically exhausting. The new energies are about flow, ease, and embracing what is supported in each now moment. Which one feels better to you? A wise human knows when it is time to give up trying in the old and when it is time to take a new approach. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

Shifting from resistance to acceptance allows you to move into a different energetic approach from where you are to where you would like to be. Think of a windup toy that crosses the room and hits a wall. It keeps bumping the wall over and again until it runs out of energy. That is what resistance does. It keeps you engaging with what can’t get you where you want to go until you feel completely worn out. Acceptance is acknowledging that the wall exists and that redirection is a necessity.

So rather than resisting, turn around and head in a different direction! Keep feeling around until you find a way you can go that feels roomier and supports your expansion. If you aren’t sure which direction to take, employ the divine combination of surrender, faith, flow, and trust, and before you know it you will have navigated beyond your blockage and will be in forward movement again. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

It’s Metaphysical Monday! Today we will be answering the question, “How can I move into acceptance when I don’t agree with what is happening?”

Acceptance isn’t an endorsement of what is happening. That’s what gratitude is for. Acceptance is a more neutral energy that notices what is. More than that, because it is born from the elements of faith and trust, it allows you to understand that whatever is happening must serve you in some way, even if you do not know how right now. It could be as simple as showing you what you do not want so you redirect into what is a better match for you.

When you accept that something exists for some reason, you move out resistance to it. Resistance is actively engaging with what you do not want which perpetuates its presence in your life. Rather than staying in a tug of war with it that gets you nowhere, you drop the rope, step back, and take whatever gifts it may have for you. Acceptance allows you to then shift your focus in a new direction that is more to your liking.

If you are resistant to something and decide to simply accept that it exists, if you pay attention you will feel an energetic shift and relief in your body. Resistance always creates discomfort. Acceptance will shift you out of that into a more peaceful energy in your body.

This does not mean that you are seeing yourself as powerless towards what you are finding difficult. Far from it! Acceptance is the power move that allows you to disengage and redirect. It puts your faith and trust into action, which will put your focus to much better use, which would be flowing towards what you prefer.

It might help to think of it this way. This is an analogy Gabriel gave me a long time ago and it always helps me and makes me giggle. Resistance would be seeing a food you don’t like at a buffet and deciding to stand there protesting it, yelling at people who choose it, “For the love of God not tomatoes!” or starting a petition to get the restaurant to remove it as an option. You would be so consumed with what you don’t like you would miss all the other delicious options!

Acceptance doesn’t mean you are going to eat the food you don’t like or make it a staple of your diet. It means that you understand that it can serve a purpose for other people who enjoy it but you don’t have to put it on your plate. You can acknowledge its existence and keep moving until you find something that is much more to your liking.

We spoke yesterday of how discomfort is a messenger. We understand it can be difficult to discern where the discomfort is coming from or what its message for you might be, so today we wish to break it down a little further for you.

Energetic discomfort from personal shifts, solar flares, astrological alignments, and earth changes, usually pass fairly quickly. Have you recently gone through a big personal discovery or healing? Are there events going on right now like solar flares, eclipses, or energetic spikes on the planet? Keeping a journal of how you respond to such events and what brings you relief can help you greatly in future instances. Feeling the energies is proof positive that you are truly in the throes of your evolutionary process. The discomfort you feel in these cases is asking you to move out of resistance to the shifting you are doing, listen to your inner wisdom, and give yourself what your body is asking for.

If you are energetically sensitive you may be picking up on the collective. If you feel like that may be the case ask, "How much of this is even mine?" Explore what is yours, and with your wisdom give yourself what you need. Then send love, comfort, and energetic support to the collective. That will allow you to shift into being the giver of energy rather than the catcher of energy. This will help move you out of resistance and doubt into a more empowered approach. These feelings of discomfort tend to come and go, depending on the overall conditions that may be affecting the collective.

If you are feeling discomfort due to being resistant to your own growth and evolution, it will be more persistent and tend to get more intense over time. That discomfort is going to get louder until such time as you take the time to explore it, take action if you are aware of what is required, or move into a willingness to discover where your soul is trying to lead you.

No matter what the reason for the discomfort, accepting through your faith and trust that there is a greater process of good occurring that is trying to guide you forward is key. Curiosity, love, and acceptance, whether it be for yourself, the collective, or the planetary processes that are occurring, are the magic balm you are seeking to help you navigate beyond resistance and move forward with much greater comfort, grace, and ease. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

If you are finding yourself in an uncomfortable place that won't seem to shift it can be helpful to ask, "What am I resisting?" Is your soul trying to lead you to some kind of growth or activity? Is there an issue or theme in your life that you know needs some exploration and healing that you've been putting off? Are you invested in things staying the same? If so, what fear is behind that? Is there something that wishes to be created by you, or are you being called to some kind of soul satisfying service?

Discomfort gets loud to get your attention. It is not trying to punish you or make you suffer, it is simply trying to make you aware of a different possibility that is a better match for you than where you are right now. If you can see it in that way, you can start to see that your discomfort is your friend, not your enemy, and it is providing you a great service. That by itself will move you out of resistance to the discomfort which will help you start to feel a shift in the energy and open the door to where your soul is trying to lead you.

Your discomfort is not you, it is a messenger. If you feel into the discomfort with curiosity, it will not get bigger or overwhelm you. It will finally be heard and have a chance to redirect you, and at that point its service will be fulfilled. It will begin to dissipate and you will be able to get back into a much more comfortable flow. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

It's Metaphysical Monday! Today we answer the question, "Is pain necessary for spiritual growth?"

Well, the answer to that one is, it is until it isn't. Let me explain.

You are in the body to grow and expand. As human beings, we can become somewhat attached to things staying the same, or get a little too cozy in our comfort zone. And sometimes we will do everything we can try to avoid healing and growth because we think it will be too hard or painful to look at what wishes to be healed.

Your soul will do everything it can to get your attention so you will begin to embrace your growth. It will do that through subtle bumps and nudges, and if that doesn't work it will begin to get louder until you pay attention. Resisting your growth will always create discomfort, and eventually the discomfort will become so great it will become impossible to stay the same and you will give up your resistance and true growth will occur. This is also known as surrender.

Sometimes you will come into the body with a desire to master a theme, or an intention to profoundly change the direction of your life or purpose along the way, so you will experience some kind of crisis for yourself like the death of a loved one or a major illness for yourself. This will also redirect your life path in a profound way that you likely would not have found had the crisis not occurred.

Whether you get there by a long, slow pattern that leads you to deep discomfort or a sudden crisis that pulls the rug out from underneath you, the pain exists to redirect you. It causes you to question, to explore, to prioritize healing and change, and opens you up in ways that never could have happened had the crisis not occurred. So yes, pain is often the catalyst to growth.

But once you truly embrace your evolutionary journey, pain becomes less of a catalyst because you are now moving willingly into growth and expansion. You can make huge strides on your journey much more comfortably because you are no longer resistant. So pain, in general, is a redirectional tool.

This is not to say that once you are on your spiritual journey, you are never going to experience loss or challenges. Of course you are, those things are a part of life. But you will also have more skills and abilities which will help you navigate them with a much deeper level of understanding which helps you move through them without getting stuck.

To be clear, walking a spiritual path is not about having no emotions. Far from it! It is about becoming consciously aware, honouring and understanding the purpose of your human feelings and experiences while also following the urges of your soul. And it is that willingness to explore and evolve that begins to make the path easier in general because you no longer need extremes to get you to move and grow.

So yes, pain is a necessity until it isn't. It can open you up in profound ways but it is not meant to be a constant in your life for all your days. Releasing resistance to change and working with surrender and the guidance of your soul can greatly reduce how much pain you experience because you will become adept at recognizing the subtle bumps and nudges and will embrace where they are trying to lead you long before they have to get loud to get your attention.

We understand that it can be difficult to believe that as much growth is going on within you as we assure you there is. It might help to think of a pregnancy.

You can be pregnant and not even know! Then you learn you are pregnant and may start to have some symptoms. Over time you start to see tangible proof that you are expecting because you start to see the changes in your body. But you still aren’t sure what your child will look like or when it will arrive.

You do your best to take care of yourself and give yourself everything you need to ensure the health and wellness of both you and your new baby. You know there are wondrous processes at work that you can’t see as your baby grows inside of you. You also know no matter how carefully you plan, babies arrive when they are ready and births rarely go the way you imagine they will. All you know for sure is you are doing your best, you are expecting, and the birth will happen at some point.

Do you see? It is the same with your enlightenment process and you are pregnant with your own rebirth. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

Your ego self, which works through the mind, is the part of you that likes to think it knows the speed at which things should be unfolding. It is also the part of you that can trick you into thinking things are somehow wrong. Your soul self, which works through your heart, is calm, centred, and confident, and can see the bigger picture. So if you find yourself in doubt and self judgement, at the very least take the time to connect and listen to your heart, too. Then decide which information is most supportive of your journey and most qualified to lead you. After all, a fair person will take the time to listen to all points of view before they can decide the truth of any situation. Doesn’t it make sense to do the same for yourself? ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

Is a rose plant a failure because it hasn't bloomed yet? Of course not! You realize every step of its growth has purpose and supports all that is to come. It is the same with you. Whether you consider yourself a seedling, a bud, or in full bloom, you are divinely perfect in whatever stage of beingness you are in. We urge you to start to see that all the phases of your evolution are beautiful and necessary and show your growth and progress. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

It's Metaphysical Monday! Today we will be answering the question, "Do I need to do something to activate my DNA or my lightbody in order to speed up my enlightenment process?"

Your enlightenment process is an evolutionary unfoldment. Your energetics shift to reflect your growth and your latest level of attainment. You cannot slow it down, or speed it up. It is an organic process that will move at the pace that is perfect for you. And you can't rush perfection!

Gabriel has told me time and again that there is no knowledge of the enlightenment process required in order to ascend. So should you take a class to activate your DNA or light body? Gabriel's simple answer is, if it will bring you joy. But it will not move you along any faster than you are ready for.

There is divine intelligence behind your enlightenment process. Rest easy, you aren't missing anything, or holding it up. Making your highest choice one now moment at a time and allowing your soul to lead the way is all that is required. Evolution will take care of the rest!
