Dear Joshua,
Recently I have been bombarded with a lot of challenges, primarily around family issues. I'm working on letting everything be and allowing everyone to be who they are and everything to be what it is.
It's interesting how the old habits pop right back in and I've even found myself feeling very anxious about the upcoming weeks. With Thanksgiving coming up and Christmas just around the corner, there will be a lot of opportunities for me to grow.
I am setting intentions and pre-paving like crazy. I'd like this to be the most joyous holiday that I've had in a long time. I am definitely in a better place than I was last year!! Do you have any other suggestions for me on how to work through all of this and keep my allowing/aware practice going?
With Love and Gratitude
~ Wendy
Dear Wendy,
Let's imagine that this year you became an allower. What would that look like? From your place of allowing, you see everything and everyone as right. You look at the people in your lives and you do not react to how they are being, you embrace them for who they really are. You look past the facade that is orchestrated by their persona and defended by their ego, and you simply see the true essence of who they are.
As an allower, you drop your attachment to any specific outcome. You don't ask for this to be the most wonderful holiday ever, you ask for yourself to allow it to be whatever it is and you will choose to see it all from the higher perspective. No matter what happens, you will embrace it and know that somehow it is for you and you will derive great benefit from it. That's all you need to think about.
The moment you see yourself trying to control the conditions in order to achieve the outcome you believe is best for you, you start resisting once again. Instead, flow with the energy of the moment and just be with those around you. We promise you this; if you can remain free of fear, you will easily don the stance of ease and from this position it will be so much easier to go with the flow. The fear is always what introduces dissonance into the situation. When you think people should be different than they are being, it all stems from irrational fear.
Adopt the stance of curiosity and just pay attention to how people are behaving. Look for their fears and notice how it alters their perception of what's really happening. If you can ease their fears, rather than adding to them, you will see things go much more smoothly and easily. The big thing to remember is that you must lose your attachment to any specific outcome.
We want to stress to you that your future is unraveling perfectly based on the vibration you are emitting. The universe knows what you want and how to bring it to you in the most elegant way imaginable. All you have to do is get out of the way and go with the flow. It may seem like things are not working out the way you want them to, but this is an illusion. In reality, everything is unfolding perfectly. Trust in the system and go with the flow and we assure you that youʻll have the most wonderful holiday season in a very, very long time.
Season's Greetings,
We are Joshua
