The Nines is a Soul Map that came to me through challenging life experiences as I discovered my passions in life & followed my heart. It is intended to inspire deeper reflection of our Soul path, to be true to ourselves, and live an extraordinary life.
How many times in one lifetime must we #Surrender? Iāve lost count :) From jumping off that cliff all those years ago, to the current timeline...surrender has become my āgo toā when nothing seems to work the way I want it to in life.
We are living in powerfully changing times not only in the outside world, IN our day to day world. All of our perceptions are being challenged as far as who we think we are, how the world works, what matters, what doesnāt matter.
Every single time I am triggered, I am pushed to grow into my potential. Which means I have to trust my own intuitions, ask for what I need, surrender everything I think I know, and stop playing small. I must listen deeper within to my own truth, and stand up for myself.
I used to know quite clearly what I wanted in life and āwent for it.ā I also used to be a big planner. When I realized I didnāt know what I wanted and was forced to step out of my comfort zone, I met Hell. Thatās when Surrender kicked in for the first time. I didnāt like it so much :) I opened up and said āDo with me as you Will, Universe...I have no idea what to do.ā I still remember the feeling of knowing I had to step into the unknown, with no set āplan,ā and just do it. I felt true fear for the first time. I discovered what itās like to not have any ācontrolā over what happens in my life. Or perhaps...my illusions that I ever did.
And then...magic appeared.
I became more of the observer in my life, rather than the orchestrator. What I once thought I had to āmake happen,ā happens without my control. I was offered help & opportunities. I tried out a LOT of ideas & relationships in a very short period of time. A whirlwind, really. Kicked my ass.
Now, Surrender isnāt so challenging.
What Iāve noticed is that I am more gentle with myself & others. My heart is more open. When I feel wanting, impatient & expecting, trying to āmake shit happen,ā I feel constricted, tense, and demanding. Itās uncomfortable. I am now able to recognize when Iām coming from fear or love by how I FEEL in my body.
As Iāve softened, I go with the flow more. I donāt even WANT to plan much. I love living in the moment. Living this way is so different, and I wouldnāt have it any other way. Itās made me more in tune with my Soul, my potential...my destiny.
Thereās a twin that goes along with the #6 Nine of Surrender. Can you guess what it is? Iāll introduce you on my next Be Your Own Hero Post ā„
