On The Other Side Of Your Biggest Contraction, Awaits Your Biggest Expansion
On the other side of your biggest contraction, awaits your biggest expansion.
This is something I say to my clients and students, but the real test came for me over the last year.
12 months of the most challenging times with my son as he transitioned from having a family of 3 to 4 and changing schools twice.
The details of this time are his to tell but I can tell you that this season stretched me beyond what I thought was my capacity.
Kind of like both of my unmedicated labours.
But alas, I am stronger than I know.
There were times where I lamented…
How could this be my life?
How can this be my reality?
No one knows what this is really like.
And then there was a deeper part of me that knew that there was something here for me.
I am not a victim of my circumstances.
This here is a spiritual assignment.
And what matters most is how I show up for it.
How do I choose to respond?
To feel?
To be?
If I sink into the discomfort and allow myself to get curious about what this is telling me about ME…
Since the day my son was born I could see...HE was my biggest mirror.
Immediately reflecting back to me my inner world.
Maybe he could be my greatest expander rather than my greatest challenge.
And wow…
What has transpired since has been nothing short of a miracle.
With the support of Carolyn McGuire, a Nurtured Heart Practitioner and parent/teacher educator, and Laura Mora, Master Reiki Practitioner, and the dedicated hearts of my husband and I…
He is back to being his confident, kind, hilarious self.
Relaxed in his own being.
Cooperative and a delight.
The best big brother.
And I…
I’m seeing him clearly through the warmest lenses of love.
It is safe to say, we are in the expansion.
And I am soaking it all in.
With love,
Diana
