When we teach, we also become the student. For every lesson taught, a new experience awakens for us and we are better able to reach our next level of awareness. When we enter into the contract of teacher/student, we simultaneously teach each other and learn from each other. There is no hierarchy. No matter the subject, class, course or attunement. In every instance, we are always both teacher and student. Just as some lessons are learned in the light, it is enevitable that some, if not most are learned in the dark. We must become our greatest work and move through the dark matter, whatever the density, to bring about the brightest ligt possible. At the same time, this travel is not for the faint of heart. Soul work is hard work. We must be gentle with ourselves and others. We must be aware of not only our own energy but also be conscientious of the effects of our energy on others as we move through this dark matter. All energy workers should be responsible and aware, as both student and teacher. I know that for every lesson I have taught and have been taught, I have received valuable information as part of that energy exchange. I grew as a person, student, teacher and as part of the healing collective. With each lesson, my awareness increases and my vibration is more fine-tuned, heightened and strengthened. For each lesson, I am grateful and continue to push forward. We must all push forward, even if sometimes we are meant to take a few steps backwards. It's like a spiritual cha-cha-cha! We will outgrow some of our teachers, as we learn from the lessons taught. Our paths are never meant to be the same as those we learn from, even if for a time we were mirrored. After the exchange, we are meant to move on to the next experience, the next lesson...we march to the beat that our soul drums for us. With some healing work, we awaken to this drumbeat and learn to dance effortlessly to it. In the beginning, some of us may run and some of us may walk to this drumbeat. We all travel on our healing/learning path in our own time, sometimes needing to repeat the lesson with or even without the same teacher. The trick is to keep on moving and to move forward with love. Always with love! That is what helps us to attain that highest soul truth. Hopefully, as lessons are shared, there is strength to be found in this bond as each individual healer grows. This bond, this love is what heals us collectively. Although, sometimes the lessons are presented and the roles reverse. If the roles reverse than the perceived reality was that the learning was not simultaneous, perhaps one thought that there is a hierarchy? Sometimes when the teacher becomes the student they are not yet ready for the lesson. This creates a shift. Whomever coined the phrase "shift happens" was right. Shift happens and it's not only okay, it's healthful! The lesson will reappear again and when the student is ready they will enter into that contract with free will. When something is no longer in line with our vibration, it falls away. There is a lot to be learned from each and every experience at each check point, and it is pointless to look back in angst, anger, regret or fear. Each experience has brought you to the divine soul that you are in this very moment. You are perfection. We are all perfection. You are a culmination of many moving parts. Never forget that and always be gentle with yourself! What inevitably will divide teacher and student is fear. Fear that the student will surpass the teacher. Fear that the student will have something better or more to offer than the teacher did. Competition and ego may even creep in as the "me first" mentality. This is a real shame. It's a heart breaker even. We are meant to lift each other up and not push each other over to reach the front of the line. If we can move past fear (competition/ego) then there is no divide. There will always be a shift. However, we must be fluid and move with each shift. We must always move forward as we stand in the present. We must stand together. In order to stand together we must first be honest with ourselves. Honesty requires you to search within and to acknowledge that just as we are light, we are very much dark matter. It isn't my intention to sound all doomy and gloomy, because that dark matter is actually pretty important. That's the shadow and that's where the lessons for our highest healing reside. We must learn to work with our shadow parts, learn to dance with them and to learn from them. All fear stems from ego and that is an aspect of the shadowy side. We all have it. There is no denying it. I want to share a secret with you. That drumbeat that I spoke of is your heart. If you listen to it, when you feel pain, or when you are elated...you are better able to heal all of these moving parts. The rhythm you feel is meant to move you to dance, dance with all of your many pieces in varying states of healing, the good, the not so good and especially the shadowy parts. We are meant to dance our darkness into the light. We all have darkness. Perhaps some would prefer not to share this, but if we do share, we can all learn and benefit from each others experiences. If you are listening to your heart and awakened to its rhythm your throat chakra is healthy and active. Feel it in your heart and then talk about it. Don't keep it in. Share. Be open. Dance that darkness into the light. That may not always be the easiest, not everyone is prepared to hear your truth let alone their own, but if done from a place of love and trust, it is always the right path to choose. If we are open and honest, we are honouring the energy centers below the heart and we will as a result create an open channel to the higher chakras. This keeps us in alignment and healthful. If you feel the sensation of heart hurt, that aching emotion, it's important to move through that pain. Do not shut it down. Communicate it. Express it. We are in charge of how we react and it's important to be both tactful and kind as you move through this pain to remain open. Don't hold it in. We are here to feel. Move through it and take the steps needed, your heart knows, to put you in a better place. Someone may perceive your openness as weakness. Although your reaction to heart pain may be to feel hurt and an openess to discuss, it may even be misinterpreted as anger. Even if as you communicate your hurt calmly and with love. Your reaction may be labeled with how they would feel in given situation or experience. No matter the surprise, stay open, stay strong and work through that pain. Don't ever hide from your feelings. Own your space. Feel what you need to feel. We feel to heal, remember?! Don't allow someone else to narrate your reaction. Also realize that your perception is also your reality and yours alone. In the end, your level of awareness is your perception. Live, breathe and move from love always. Especially as you heal. Healing is a journey to oneness. The journey first begins while learning to love yourself honestly and healthfully. While we move through each lesson, healing and feeling, we must all remember to be mindful of how we process this deep emotion. Thoughts, words and actions/reactions are all very powerful. They transmit, manifest and all apply to the Universal law of cause and effect. We are all caretakers of our own energy but should also remain aware that we absolutely affect those around us, whether it be intentional consciously or unconsciously. We must move forward in each moment with conscious intent. It is our responsibility as light workers to be aware of how we emit both light and darkness. Just as it's important to get it all out there, it's just as important to not dwell in that lesson. Do not allow your healing to be stagnated. Take the time to heal and then move on. Work at it honestly and it will transmute. Be your own alchemist. You have the power to heal as you awaken to each new level of awareness and to your highest truth. Remember, just because you receive a healing session, or take a class, course or receive an attunement, it does not necessarily mean that you are there. It means that you have been taught the bare bones of what may assist you in your healing. You still have to apply the lesson learned. You must take the time to heal to move forward and as you do so, be gentle and contentious with the energy that you emit. Also, be honest with yourself about the energy that you are putting out there. Anyone can take a class or receive an attunement. You must walk the walk and well...you see where I'm going with this? It's necessary that while walking this path that we dance with shadow. That's where the highest truth and highest healing are and they are waiting to be brought into the light. That's why it's so important to move forward in love. In love and light xo Find me on Facebook: Healing Energy - Painted Chakras and Stairways Photo: Carrie Carter Bedard
