“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus
Ah, yes, change is constant, but that certainly doesn’t make it easy. In today’s society and due to evolution, the pace of change is fast! Therefore, it is vitally important to allow and accept change. The downside of a fast pace in society is the risks associated with change; humans have become inclined to resist change more than ever.
This can become a real problem on many levels. Living a life where there are no risks or change leads to complacency—being complacent means that you are satisfied with how things are and do not want to try and make things better, which prevents you from trying harder. It is usually accompanied by unawareness, and complacency can be dangerous for safety. It will further disconnect you from society and the reality of the world you live in. And while some people are happy with that, if you do not embrace change, you are bound to lose ground and stagnate. The stagnation of energy, growth, and personal evolution is never healthy for your body, mind, and soul. This can leave you feeling no desire to expand yourself or your horizons.
When you allow and accept change, you will experience more flow in your life due to less resistance. Initiating change yourself is also hugely beneficial. Firstly, you want it, which is powerful because there is already an acceptance of the change. And secondly, you become less fearful and more resilient, adaptable, and capable of the ups and downs of life.
When you are resistant, you will often find that you will procrastinate, leading to a negative cycle that is hard to break. Resisting change and stagnation is one of the most common issues that many of my clients face. And whilst it is essential to embrace change and take action, it is critical to look at the energetic blocks that can keep you stuck. Remember, you are a physical, spiritual, and energetic being. Therefore, treating and healing all aspects of yourself is crucial to creating new habits and patterns that allow you to expand. And that in itself is change.
Many of my clients who resist change often deny that they need to change or are unaware of a problem. They sometimes find other alternatives that help them with these issues but continually fall back into the same patterns. Therefore, feeling the need to either add or be drawn to try something completely new. This can lead to alternative and holistic therapies such as energy healings like Reiki and Forensic Healing.
Negative patterns can reoccur because, although things may have been addressed mentally and physically, their energy also requires stagnation and blocks to be removed. Your energy holds every experience and emotion you have lived on this earthly plane, and it can get comfortable and cozy too! It needs to be shaken up to release stagnation and old patterns to allow a more natural flow and new awareness that allows the change to become the norm.
Changes can occur in the simple choices that we make. If you decide to try Reiki therapy and that is unfamiliar to you, you are already choosing to change something. The key to trying anything new is always to keep an open mind, have no expectations, and allow yourself to be 100% present to the experience.
This is important, especially for energy healing, as your state of mind and thoughts directly affect your energy. Letting yourself trust and surrender to the experience allows clear information that needs to come forward for you; it will enable newfound awareness to occur, enabling the release of the blocks and stagnation in your energy field. This is needed for your energy to shift out of old patterns. This creates space in your energy field to integrate the new awareness and information about yourself, your life, and your patterns. And finally, you then have the clarity of seeing when you fall back into those patterns and making a choice to stop them. The reason you can do this is that you will have gained an understanding and know where and why that pattern occurred and how it affected different aspects of yourself, relationships, your life, and your energy. This is an empowered choice and change.
The changes that healings provide are profound and many. As they shift your energy, you will feel more energetic, which motivates you to do more and do what is necessary because you feel lighter and more connected to yourself. You become more flexible and adaptable. You also find renewed hope and faith that your life can be different because you begin to believe in yourself and back yourself to change what isn’t working and create new patterns that do.
All this can occur because when your energy shifts, so too do your energetic vibration. Many describe this as being a higher vibration. What is happening is that due to your energy flowing more freely, the revolution at which your energy vibrates increases. Therefore creating the feeling of “vibing high”.
Some benefits of change are:
- Personal growth
- Flexibility
- Adaptability
- Healing/Awareness
- Strength/Resilience
- Progress/Opportunities
- New beginnings
Change. You can resist and avoid it, but change will enter your life just the same. You have the power to turn resistance into acceptance by going with the flow of change. Knowing all the benefits of how change can evolve and transform you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually affects and changes your life.
So there is only one question left to ask. If not now, when?
