When
I began to write about Grief and the Law of Attraction, I anticipated a few
paragraphs would appear on the page not 4000+ words! But this very magic is one
of the reasons I love the process of writing.
It’s taken me years, but now I know to get out of my own way and allow
imagination to fuse with creative expression.
When you release resistance and “ride the wave” it often manifests in
the most unexpected flow of images, ideas, solutions and relief. What shows up on the page or the canvas or
from the block of marble or in the mind and body is mystical, magical alchemy
of our Spirit-Source-Self in the process of transformation. Abraham-Hicks describes it this way,
“We
want you to get your hands in the clay of your life, and we want you to like
molding the clay. We don’t want it to be
about getting to the result; we want it to be about the process of
alignment. We want it to be about the
Energy in your belly. We want it to be
about the emotion that you can improve.
We want it to be about you then recognizing the evidence that comes to
you because you did improve the emotion.”
The
13th Century Sufi mystic, Rumi, wrote a poem that speaks of this
journey. Learning to fully process grief
and “let it go” remains one of my life’s most challenging assignments. Yet, I know this: By cocooning grief in compassion and gratitude,
we open the higher portals of understanding and emotional intelligence. I believe, to my core, the emotional
experience of being human has been sent as a guide from beyond. Inevitably, at many points in our lives, we
find Grief to be an unexpected visitor in our Guest House.
THE
GUEST HOUSE
This
being human is a guest house
Every
morning a new arrival
A
joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some
momentary awareness comes
As
an unexpected visitor
Welcome
and entertain them all
Even
if they’re a crowd of sorrows
Who
violently sweep your house
Empty
of it’s furniture
Still,
treat each guest honorably
He
may be clearing you out
For
some new delight
The
dark thought, the shame, the malice
Meet
them at the door laughing
And
invite them in
Be
grateful for whoever comes
Because
each has been sent
As
a guide from beyond
-Rumi
