Don't Fight a Transition, Let the New Energy In w/ Gay Hendricks

Most people experience an injury or other setbacks as an enterprise of the universe working against us. But what if the setback is an important transition, a demarcation point between who we were and who we're going to be going forward? Maybe it's buried traumas we need to address, or physical healing that will make us stronger.

 

We're being given the opportunity for a completion so we can move into a deeper level of harmony with ourselves and others.

 

It's so easy to fall into the old programming of self-pity and sadness, but everything that happens to us is reality trying to tell us something important.

 

It's a powerful opportunity to rewire ourselves. We can give an open invitation to the universe to rewire and reorganize us in a powerful way. Instead of asking "why is this happening to me", we can ask "what is the deepest message this event is trying to tell me?"

 

How do we stop recycling old patterns and traumas and put something to rest? How do we step into new energy instead of trying to fight it?

 

In this episode, we're joined by Gay Hendricks and he shares what he's learned from a recent health setback. We also close off season 1 of this podcast by reflecting on lessons and powerful takeaways from this experience.

 

Give an open invitation to the universe to reorganize you in the spirit of how you need to be now and what would best serve you now. -Gay Hendricks
