AWAKENING - A Whole New World

I remember the first time my Soul woke up- I was jolted awake from a somewhat peaceful slumber.

I did not understand what it was at the time. As it passed along through my body, I felt it shake me to the core.

It was an Earthquake in my body. I wasn't afraid though, I did not run. I stood my ground, but I was confused.

Confused on what was happening to my Soul. What was this experience I was living through?

As my Soul continued to shake and move, I searched for an answer. Eventually, I found the answer I was seeking.

They call it- An Awakening. That was exactly what it felt like. It made sense to me.

I would describe it as when somebody shakes a tree and they let the older parts of the tree, the low hanging fruit, fall to the ground.

I was shedding parts of the Old Me that no longer served me to my Highest Good. I was releasing all of the toxicity that sat inside me.

Desperately, I held on as tightly as I could. For I did not want to leave this part of me behind.

But I had to realize- I could not take these parts of myself along. I had to bid farewell to the Old Me.

While she was a pleasure to be around, she was destructive many a-times.

A rebellious soul of sorts, they would say. Yet, the most fun and carefree one of all.

I said 'goodbye' and let the Old Me fade away. I am still learning this New Me.

Opening up is the hardest part- but it feels nice to meet the Higher Version of Myself.

What kind of adventures will She take me on? What will She show me? What new opportunities will She present to me?

I grabbed her hand, she squeezed it tight. She smiles and says "Hope you are ready."
