You cannot build a solid foundation on shaky ground, but you sure can learn a heck of a lot from it! Draw strength from each lesson and rebuild. All is not lost. Time has not been wasted. ... The knowledge that you learn from each experience is a teacher. You are guided to the door by each lesson, whomever or whichever way you encounter it, but it is up to you to cross over the threshold. You must take that step! Cross the threshold. Own your wisdom. Own it. You earn each and every bit of knowlege because it is you that put in the work. You've got this. Xo

What happens when we let go of what and whom no longer serves us for our highest good? What happens when we put in the work and our energy shifts? When we let go of what no longer serves us, the weightiness of that gunk makes room for more light. This can apply to people, any residual energy...old habits...it can apply to all of that. When we change our vibration we al...so change what we attract and what is needed to boost us higher to our next lesson for greater growth. As our awareness changes, our perception also changes. That old adage about how others talk and treat others when they are not in the room is probably how they talk and treat you as well? As you grow, you will see that coming from a mile away and may even begin avoiding that energy all together, on a conscious or even unconscious level. You will feel..."this is not healthful" even if it may seem to be. You will just feel it with a deep knowing that something is not right. You are seeing through the lens of your heart. Trust this. As we rise and step into our own divine knowledge, our vibration shifts and lightens. This creates a falling away, as those energies that are no longer inline with our vibration will no longer be attracted. The scene (or scenes) have played out and it is time to turn the page. I find this happens most noticeably when we are clearing and working on strengthening the bridge between the solar, heart and the throat chakras. A lot of blessings in disguise seem to happen during this time of true transformation. Some pinch and sting while others make your heart sing. 😘 Simply put, once you find your voice, speak through the filter of love, speak authentically about what truly fires you up, your life will change in wonderous ways. Honesty first with ourselves and then shared with others is key here. This is the bridge. We must love and honour ourselves and our space in order to extend this to others. Once you rise, those that held "authority" over you under the guise of "relationship" will fall away. The narcissist doesn't allow a shared light. They will walk away. It's a blessing to arise 🎶with a new set of eyes🎶. It may sting at first but...that's a blessing as well. You are feeling through the filter of love. Let it fall away. Old patterns, often repeated in the past will now seem unnecessary. They will begin to fall away. Energy patterns, memories that would seemingly haunt will begin to heal fully and be seen through the lens of forgiveness and will be released. Whatever happens for you during this transition is perfection. Embrace this. When we step into our empowerment in all of its newness, it is a time to feel love and to honour this new space. This time is sacred and as such you should try to avoid the feeling of being pulled down by situations, others and...even yourself. Rise instead. While you will have people to support you lovingly, you will also have those who will view your shift with fear and judgement. They may even attempt to get you to return inward and in a way so obvious...just to get your full attention. Allow the falling away. Please remember that we function at our own level of awareness. Looking through the lens of love, we see without judgement, it may be better to not know why they are viewing through fear and ego. Just let it go. Focus on growth instead. Please remember that there is enough room for everyone. You are not taking up too much space. Your light is meant to grow and to shine even brighter than it is right this very moment! We are constantly evolving. Do not diminish or hide your sparkles! It is the divine that is encouraging and assisting in your blossoming and this is not ego driven. You are safe. You are loved. Arise and shine. You are divine. Xo Photo: Carrie Carter Bédard Everything that you need is already inside of your own heart. Did you know that the heart is the gateway between the lower and higher chakras? Sometimes it's our own self-talk that sabotages our very connection to our divineness and this can create a wee bit if a blockage. (Look up tri-fold flame meditations to help with this). Our own self-talk is unfortunately what can keep us from reaching o...ur full potential and from awakening to our infinite and divine truth. This is why we must "live" in our heart to filter and then transmute this nonsense brought on by fear. We must alchemize to create a harmonic balance. Fear is a beautiful teacher if only we first filter through the heart. Although challenging, we must rise to meet our fear. That is the lesson, not to live in fear but to rise to meet it. Stare it in the eye and reclaim your space. Owning your space will make your energy bubble around you larger. When we hit a lull and feel less than great about ourselves, our bubble is contracted and we literally take up less space around our physical body. This feeling of being small, no matter our actual physical size, becomes relevant to our perception of our own self worth. If we are grounded and anchored, we assert our space and are more likely to feel confident and present. This will make the energy around us larger. If you were to filter through your heart, you would better understand your own capacity for love...unconditional love for your very own person. We are already more than enough. We are all capable of unlimited light. It's a shame that we feel unable to see the magnitude of our own capacity to love unconditionally. I suppose in order to see this, we must first open our eyes to it. We must awaken with eyes wide open to truly realize our full potential. Awaking to your own divinity is empowering. Growing roots and anchoring your own energy enables you to effortlessly connect with those around you. Let self-love become your anchor. Love, love, love xo Photo: Carrie Carter Bédard We are currently purging that reactionary part of us that we have stifled for far too long. It is now time to take that step forward. We are being asked to move past the illusionary threshold of fear. Any step forward in love is a divine step towards your authenticity. You are loved and you are safe! Each one of us is guided and cared for along this journey. Please remember this as you transition. As we heal, we may experience a few "dark nights" of the soul and remembering this may be especially helpful. We are never alone. We are being borne into a new consciousness. This process requires our energy to shift and we feel this emotionally, physically and spiritually. As we are experiencing a falling away of the old, we may experience fluctuations in body temperature, achy muscles and fatigue. Take this hint from physical you to slow down and to nurture yourself. We are purging supressed emotional hurts. For each of us it'll come out differently. Example: Are you "unable to" full on cry it out? Or, are you "unable to" get angry? Etc.. (All of this deep releasing is done constructively, of course). Meaning, have there been experiences that you have had where you haven't allowed yourself to react...feel to heal in a way that releases and creates balance? This is what may be bubbling up for you. Why? To clear the blockage and it's rooted deeply. This bubbling up may make you feel out of control. This is illusionary. You are in control. Give yourself the space to step into your power. Offer yourself forgiveness and then permission. Create a safe space for this release. Take your time with it and nurture yourself. You've got this! Xo Photo: Carrie Carter Bédard If you feel like something is on it's way out, let it fall away. Perhaps this is something that you find uncomfortable or even challenging but it most likely no longer supports the energy that you have risen to and that is inline with your souls true purpose. Let it go for there is something far more in synch with your energy coming up for you. Let go to make space for this new energy. Stay hydrated, rest when you need to and be gentle with yourself. Replenish. Little by little, we are being integrated into our divine purpose. We take baby steps as we awaken more and more to our authentic truth. This is a time of great change and integration. Take notice and embrace the newness that unfolds as what is no longer needed falls away. It is also a time of great love and beauty. Take note of what excites you, invokes your curiosity and sparks passion within you. This is guiding you one step closer... How any of us chooses to move through this energy is completely up to us. We are here to feel and feel we shall! However, try not to feel this transition through the lens of fear but through the lens of love instead. In order to be reborn we must first die. Let the old fall away and be reborn again. Peel back another layer. Photo: Carrie Carter Bédard 💖 This morning I am prepping for another full day of Reiki sessions! 💖 Below is a bit of information for those who wish to receive a treatment. What to do before, during and after a session. How best to prepare for a treatment (recommended):... 1. Beginning the day before your session, drink plenty of water, eat light and eat whole foods. Try to avoid, processed foods. Please refrain from alcohol and drugs. 2. Open your heart and mind to the session. "I am open to receiving". 3. Wear comfortable clothing. 4. Let the practitioner know in advance of allergies and/or intolerances to scents. What to do during a treatment: 1. Breathe. (No shallow breathing). 2. Relax. Very important as it helps move the energy in, around and out of the body. 3. Place arms in a natural and comfortable position at each side of your trunk. 4. Rest your legs side by each and do not cross them, even at the feet. 5. Communicate with your practitioner if you experience discomfort, get hot or cold, so that proper adjustments can be made. After care: 1. Drink plenty of water. 2. Most likely you will be hungry. Try to stick with healthier food for at least the remainder of the day. 3. Get a good night's sleep. 4. If you can, take a nice bath with Epsom salts. Healing continues after the session and can take anywhere from a few days to a week. Straight after a session you may feel energized but may also experience a drop in energy soon after. This is your body slowing down to heal. Listen and make that time for yourself. Go to bed a bit earlier, if you can. Be open to the emotional response of release. Who comes for a session? Those who just feel wound up and are in need of relaxation and to be helped back into alignment. Also, clients who experience anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, chronic pain relief and insomnia can get a lot out of a session(s). I have experience in treating all mentioned. A practitioner can show you the healing path and help you to begin the process, but the actual work is done by you. You have to open yourself and become aware of your own healing capabilities. This is done in your own time frame. This can be tricky for some at the start and if you need it, extra support is provided. I practice additional after care with those who come to see me. If you need to talk, I will make myself available for guidance, or just to listen. This is heart 🙌💜🙌 centered healing. This is Healing Energy-Painted Chakras and Stairways.
