Hello my dears!
I hope you have had a great start to the new year. Although every moment is new and untouched, and you can start fresh at any time, the turn of the year nevertheless carries a special magic that encourages a new beginning. Do you want to make use of it?
Over the last few years, as I have been so intensively engaged with the path of awakening, I have come to learn that the same principles are at work everywhere, regardless of which path you follow and what your intention is. What do I mean by that? Whether you wish to be enlightened, own a larger house, be more loving and patient, earn more, have a better job, finally draw the man of your dreams into your life, or understand your parents better, etc. The goals are very different, but the principles that “bring you to your destination” are always the same.
What principles are those, then?
1. Clear Intention
It all begins with your clear intention and a decision to embody or put that intention into practice. In my practice, for example, the best successes are achieved when a client comes in and says something like: “Right. That’s it. I must and will tackle and resolve this issue now, no matter what it takes!” Regardless of what it is in the individual case (overcoming a destructive pattern, finding inner peace, finally standing up for oneself, finding a long-awaited partnership, etc.). So it takes this energy of: “I am truly ready and willing to commit to my growth and do whatever it takes.”
2. Research and Gathering Material
Now you get an overview of how you can approach the issue. What do you need? What helps you? Who can support you? Are there people you can team up with? Are there books, courses, videos that help you? Can/should a professional accompany you? What have you already learned in the past that helps you now? What resources do you have (within yourself and externally)? An inner inquiry is also necessary: what has blocked and held you back so far, what are the trigger points, when do you break down, how do you behave in the process?
3. The Plan
From the results of your research, you now put together a plan. The plan should be sensible and realistic. And depending on the topic, it can look very different: suppose you want to embody the soul quality of peacefulness. In your research, you have figured out, for example, that person XY easily pushes your buttons with 3 different behaviors. In addition, you have found 2 books that you will read and work through, including the exercises contained within them. As an inner resource, you have recognized that with persons A, B, and C you can actually always react peacefully, and you reflect on why that is and what you can adopt from it. Your plan could now look like this: you write down 10 new behavioral options that you can practice when person XY pushes your buttons again. E.g., take a deep breath, create some distance first and leave the room, be grateful for what XY does well, breathe peace in and out, etc. In addition, you can schedule a daily 15-minute peacefulness meditation. Who could be your role model regarding peacefulness that you can think of when triggered and that gives you strength? (Examples could be: the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddha, etc., or perhaps someone from your personal circle). The important thing is that your plan is concrete and not vague. What should it look like precisely, what actions are necessary, and when will you implement them.
4. Implementation in Small, Consistent Steps
Everything starts with the next, clear, small step. As mentioned, your plan should be realistic and consist of steps that you can implement day in and day out. What you need is staying power and consistency. Integrate the steps into your daily life as a new way of living. If you want to start meditating, for example, and you are completely new to it, plan to meditate for 10 or 15 minutes a day rather than 30 minutes every single day right away. So choose small increments. (Conversely, if you have been meditating for a long time and want to expand your practice—having meditated for 30 minutes previously—it might make sense to go to 60 minutes, etc.) Adapt the steps to your life situation!
5. Fully Commit to the Process
While you are consistent and engaged on the one hand, a “higher power” (your soul, or whatever you wish to call it) takes over the guidance of this process. At the same time, you are allowed to let go and completely surrender control. Perhaps you will be led into new situations or challenges that you did not plan or wish for, or you will be asked to step out of your comfort zone in other ways. Keep going, trust, and surrender. Reflect and be open to higher insights. Over time, the steps may also change; you are allowed to be flexible and do not need to follow your plan rigidly in the long run. (However, do not switch too quickly—that is a defense mechanism many people have, where they stick to nothing and say, “my inner guidance told me to,” when in reality it is just a pattern of constant distraction they are following.)
Yes, that’s it ;-) Actually quite simple ;-)
From the bottom of my heart, I wish all of us that we embody our highest intentions in consistent, small steps in the here and now!
Light and love, healing and peace, to all people, all beings, all existence!
May all beings be enlightened!
With love, Awen Lucia
