Creating Bridges: Spirituality & Philosophy:
Awakenings:



The Battle of Resistance
by Karen Johnson
As we come to the end of a cycle, it can be advantageous to recalibrate our vision. In the surge of old ideals coming into the consciousness of today’s citizens is the need to address the impulse of resistance that plagues many in their spiritual pursuits of actualizing the type of life they want to live.


Stepping onto the forefront of one of the biggest battles in our life; we desire change and do everything within our power to manifest change. Yet, housed at the bottom of this belief structure is resistance.


So many unawakened souls are sleepwalking their way around the planet encumbered by a veil of resistance. Whether this is light or heavy the result is the same, it stops you in your tracks from achieving the possibilities that life is presenting you.


Under the veil of resistance we may resent our families, friends, loved ones, politicians or even our spiritual nemesis, but it is within ourselves these battles take place. No one is to blame, the conflict lies within.


The option of moving into a zone of clarity and alertness does not even exist for those embattled by this internal conflict. It paralyzes, leaving them forever in a continuous circle of ‘why or what if’ instead of allowing them to embrace their own internal truth and make headway in the mechanisms that keep them moving forward helping them to achieve an internal state of harmony and balance.



US AND THEM

These beings have lived in a cycle of deprivation, feeling deprived of their rightful place in the world and for the most part subscribing to the ideology of “us and them”. When they are first able to turn the corner in this paradigm, their whole world begins to expand; possibilities enter where there was no room for possibilities before.


They learn about accountability for themselves and for others in their life. They discover truth within themselves and start to have the same expectation of the world around them, and so it begins to be delivered to them.


You are no longer merely a player in your world; you become a leader. Your emancipation has begun.



EMANCIPATION

There are many processes we go through on this journey. For some it will be arduous and others, easy, almost random. The steps that lead us to our own personal emancipation can look big or small from the outside, but what is intrinsically important is what happens on the inside. In order for individuals to gain their own emancipation it is important for them to follow the intrinsic laws of the universe. These are the laws that govern all life forces on the planet. The laws are somewhat simple and basic. It is when we deviate from these universal laws that we begin to muddy the waters and lose our sense of clarity, sense of self and sense of purpose.


We will need to affix our belts and tighten them. These are not belts of restriction or limitation, they are elements of creating frequencies and impulses of freedom, something that we can hear clearly with our inner hearing or inner vision.


Our systems sometimes inadvertently repel the songs of freedom that play within our cells. It is through listening to our own heartbeats and the heartbeats of others that we begin to see with real vision and understand the universal wisdom unfolding. A true visionary can see the heartbeats of the universe and feel them in ways that our current human language cannot yet translate.


Our belief systems can be corrupted by the tyranny of an internal dictator. It can weaken us on a self-esteem level. How we experience the world and our environments. We are no longer able to see the people around us as who they are, it is now merely a shadow of the corrupted image and it taints how we experience life.



THE END

How do we move beyond these familiar fears? How do we learn to embrace the love that lies within and around us? How do we succumb to the richness that the world holds for us?


We no longer squander time and energy on meaningless pursuits for we finally realize there is no such thing as ‘meaningless’. Everything we do and pursue, no matter what it looks like on the outside, has a deeper meaning to our development. Whether it appears trite and superficial to the outsider, there is a reason this experience is unfolding for you and that’s where the learning lies.


Learning to access spaces of inner stillness that lie within us. No one is devoid of these inner spaces although some might put a lot of energy into distancing themselves from these spaces. They can be uncomfortable. We learn to release and relinquish control and the self-recriminations and diminishing behaviours that hold us hostage. We believe in the richness that the universe holds for us all. We start to live moment-by-moment and be present in our own life.

Karen Johnson, CHt. MHt. founder of Awakening Heart & Soul is an internationally renowned and respected expert in the field of Human Potential Development an area where she has been a leader for the past decade.


A well known Spiritual Teacher, Certified Master Hypnotherapist, Past Life Regression Therapist, Specialized Kinesiologist, Energy Medicine Practitioner and Metaphysical Healer. Balancing her private practice with teaching, research and writing, she has published numerous articles and is in the process of writing her first book.


Karen believes and teaches that intuition or psychic abilities are inherent within us all. This sixth sense or creative spirit can be used as a source of power. Karen guides her clients towards opening up and accessing this wisdom: expanding their lives and realizing long lost goals.


Also running an international Intuition Consultant business, she consults and mentors individuals and small businesses. Her mandate is to empower and enlighten the individual.


Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1987, she overcame MS and discovered her own innate healing abilities. Throughout her healing journey, she encountered many profound spiritual experiences propelling her to look at the widely accepted belief that healing takes a long time.

She firmly believes that healing can be immediate, if we are willing for it to happen. She has chosen to concentrate her work on helping others heal: spiritually, emotionally and physically.


A guiding principle of her work is recognizing that we are governed by universal law. These are the basic tenets that we all follow and are the foundation of life.

Continually challenging the boundaries and moving beyond the status quo...


Remember, any journey always begins with that first step. We have all the tools we need, the answers are always within us; we simply need to relearn what we've always known but somehow forgotten...
