After The Pain, New Beginnings Await
For so many years, I struggled in relationships and wondered if I’d ever stop repeating unhealthy patterns and finally attract the right partner in my life. That day would eventually arrive and I’ve recently been married. The months and days leading up the ceremony were not easy. Frustrations and old ways of thinking rose to the surface and became amplified so that I could heal emotional patterns deep within myself that have been with me since childhood. Yet as I faced the overwhelm, as the discomfort of my own shadow consumed me, a new beginning emerges.

Similarly, the impending passing of my beloved grandmother weighs heavy on the spirit, although I’ve managed to somehow hide away the grief so that I don’t have to feel the pain. While visiting her in the hospital, her old, frail body was tired and her soul seemed as though it was ready to be released from the earth. It was amazing to see my grandmother, in much pain, still greet us with a heartfelt smile and with kindness in her eyes. She is and will always be my shining example of grace. In fact, in many ways Maxine was like a mother to me.
The Meditation
In my hour of meditation, I’m ready to make a change. I feel the sadness as the gentle rhythm of the drum begins. Underneath the sadness, pain and grief bring forth tears as memories of a beloved family member come pouring in. Yet through the overwhelm, a voice emerges that brings me back to center. The message is clear, just as you surrender and feel your pain, a new beginning awaits.
This is the teaching of your human experience that will guide you to redemption, give you insight and be your ally on the path towards a fulfilling life.
A Song For New Beginnings
For the best audio quality, listen with headphones
I invite you to play the song in a quiet, relaxed space where you won’t be interrupted. Take a few deep breathes and open yourself to receive whatever messages are wanting to come through for you.
Afterwards, it might help to write down your experience as this will help you ground the insights, thoughts, memories, emotions, visions that come to you.
Wishing you all the best on the journey ahead!
