Hi, I'm Joanne Cary. Welcome back to Embodied Soul podcast, a multidimensional space intended to support you in living, being and thriving as the embodied soul you are. In this week's episode, I’m going to talk about why everything is happening for you, and how this is such a powerful tool to claim back your power and to live from a freer state of being. So, if you're ready to jump in, please pull up a comfy sofa, invite in your Soul and be prepared to be open to receive exactly what you need to live, be, and thrive as the embodied soul you are.
So some of you may already be wanting to end this broadcast. “Everything is happening for me.” It's something that we often hear, and it is something that is so powerful when you fully allow yourself to embrace it. It's one way to fully reclaim our own power. And what this means to me is when, when we think that the external circumstances are happening to us, when we think that people are making our lives difficult or somehow controlling us or somehow manipulating us, we're focusing our energy out, away from us. We are giving away our power to basically control our.. how we experience our reality. When, in fact, we are these vast Creator beings, and we are creating our experiences in order to move to our next highest step.
The image the Guides gave to me years ago is sort of me as a Soul, being held in this hand of my Divine Spirit, and it's flowing down this river, and it's like rapids at times, and you're flowing around rocks and around trees and up and downs. But you're always knowing that you are being guided by your Spirit, and your Spirit knows everything that you came here to experience. Everything you wanted to learn, experience, is already encoded within the blueprint of you, your Soul's plan. Yet when we're in the density of form, within the frequency that we've been living our lives through, it's sometimes challenging to, to understand why we're here, where we're going, and to sort of navigate in those ways.
But when we allow ourselves to believe, trust and begin to experience that everything is happening for us, even when it doesn't seem like it's happening for us, because happening for us doesn't necessarily mean that it's the rainbows and unicorns, that it's the most pleasurable thing. But if we trust that every experience is taking us to the next highest step, it's revealing to us exactly what we need to see in the moment that we're in, in order to release something, have clarity, insight so that we can then take the next step, we can heal what needs to be healed, we can understand what needs to be understood, we will have a door open that we can then walk through.
But the challenge is, we have focused on needing to understand. Well, how is this happening? Why is this happening to me? Right? Why is this happening to me? How did I create this? Especially as we start to understand that we're creating our own reality? We can actually become our own worst enemy, because we spend so much time focusing on. Well, why did this bad thing happen? Why does this thing that I don't prefer that happened to me, happen? Like I must be doing something wrong. I must be thinking bad thoughts. I must be doing these things in order for this to happen to me and if you remember our previous episodes, when we start wondering and digging into well, why did this bad circumstance, or why did this bad thing go wrong? That's our perception of something. And then we start focusing on those things that are going wrong, that we didn't like, that we didn't prefer, and then that's what we're creating more of. Where, if we can…. and that's where we're giving our energy to right? So this is where our energy is going. Our energy is being focused into all the things that happened in the past. Even if it was just this past moment ago, instead of going, okay, I didn't exactly prefer this circumstance, or I'm not preferring this experience that I'm in right now, but I'm trusting that it's happening for me, and I'm trusting that as I move through it, I'm going to receive exactly what I need to know, experience exactly what I need to experience, in order to take the next step, and that next step is always going to be at a higher level when we're working from this energy frequency. And then, as we continue to take that step forward, we are continuing to move forward higher and higher and higher.
But if we remain, if we are in the circumstance that we're not liking, and we're continuing to worry about, well, why, how am I creating this bad thing? How am I creating this health problem? How am I creating this bad job? How am I creating this upset in my life? Why is my house filled with ants at the moment? If you are constantly worrying there, you are draining your energy when, in fact, you can choose to say, Okay, I know that everything is happening for me, and I know that my Spirit is guiding me with loving hands through these rapids that I'm going through right now. And instead of placing my focus and energy onto all of the reasons why this may have happened, I’m going to allow myself to feel all of the feelings. Don't try to repress them.
If you repress your emotions, if you repress what you're feeling, if you try to deny and say, Well, this is happening for me, so I'm going to like it. You're going to stick the energy in your field. It's going to get stuck, and energy doesn't want to stick. It doesn't want to be stuck in your system. It doesn't want to be trapped in your cells. And yet that's how we spent our lives right? We've spent our lives repressing feelings. When we were younger we didn't even know how to process feelings, and so we held them in ourselves. We split off parts of ourselves in order to keep us protected and that's exactly what's coming up for us now. So when you're going through something that isn't feeling particularly fun, pleasant, desirable, celebrate that. Why? Because it means that the energy has loosened, those things are coming up to be seen by you, to be transmuted, to be to be re-seen, to receive the insight.
And here's the thing. We don't have to go looking for the reason why it happened and so often, like I used to do this all the time, when I was ,when I was first learning this, I was wanting to know all the whys like, why did why did this happen? How did I create this through my thoughts? But here's the challenge that we have. We've been in such low vibration, which means slow vibration that from the time that we actually had the thoughts that began to create this manifestation of the thing that we don't like, it could have been years ago. Right? So we are not going to remember when this thing happened. So why place all of our focus and energy, and trying to solve something that it's almost impossible for us to, to root back to. And even if we can, through hypnosis or some other some other journey go back there, the Guides are so clear that we don't need to do that. We just don't need to do that. Every single thing that we need to see in order to move through it, in order to move to that next higher step, it’s going to be made very clear to you. If you need to know it, you are going to know it. It'll show up in a dream. It'll show up in a message. It'll show up in an email that you might get. It'll pop in as a brilliant insight an “Aha" moment. You don't have to go looking for it. If you need to know what it is, you will know it, otherwise, allow yourself to feel the feelings, the emotions, allow yourself to recognize those thoughts, those memories that come up because transmuting these things, releasing these things can happen so quick right now. We are being asked.
We're in this acceleration chamber of moving forward and forward and forward and forward, and faster and faster. Don't waste your time. Don't waste your energy worrying about what's happened. Say, okay. I'm choosing to believe that everything is happening for me. I know that it's happening for me, and it's leading me to my next highest step, even when I don't think that it is, even when I don't understand how it is. But I'm choosing to believe this. I'm willing to feel the feels that I'm feeling in order to allow the energy to move through my body, in order to move from my cells, in order to what's been stuck, to bubble up, to be released out and then expect the next step to be higher. Expect the next experience to be better. And as you begin to expect that, we're always getting what we expect and so when we're expecting it to always be the next best thing, you're going to see that it is the next best thing. And it may take us a period of time to see it right. You might need to take 3 or 4 steps down the way in order to understand why this was supporting you, but it will, and it is. Take my trust first, if you don't have it right now, and just try this out over and over again begin to affirm:
Everything is happening for me. Everything is happening for me, even when I don't think that it is. I'm always being led to my next highest step. I'm being guided by loving hands of my Spirit. These are all affirmations that will support you in this journey. They have supported me in moving through it more quickly, in beginning to just not waste my energy on the things that that I have no control over, and allowing me to move more fully into, with excited anticipation for all the great stuff that's coming. And it just keeps getting better and better.
So I invite you this week to really embrace the affirmation that everything is happening for me. Everything is happening for me, even when I don't know how it is, even when it doesn't look like it is.
