 Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Sunday morning coffee with Bridget. Today, I'm going to share with you something from my journal this morning. I was journaling as I often do when I get up. I'll either meditate or journal or do both just to really clear some of the the negative that I've been feeling or the heavy thoughts of the worry and stress anxiety, etc. And it's been it's been working quite well. I'm keeping at it. It's a good practice. It's a bit like exercising though, you know, you've got to stick with it to allow it to help you. Well this morning I definitely got a channeling through in my writing if I'm going to share it with you. Are you familiar with Abraham Hicks? That is a channel Esther Hicks is an incredible channeler. If you've followed my work for some time, you've heard me mention her in fact at fairy grasshopper youtube channel I have a playlist of some of the best talks or question and answers that she has channeled. She channels a group of energy, a universal consciousness that is called Abraham. It's not one person, one entity or one deity. It is the collective of wisdom as you see with many other channelers. They call their their piece of the universe of their cosmic consciousness. They call it something. There's some kind of a name. That's a human thing. I believe to give it a name and so Abraham Hicks is this channeling. So I'm going to share that with you. I'm clearly hearing Abraham. And so let me share understanding the desire for things to be different is natural. So I was thinking about you know wanting change or how you know when we're in a place where we feel down and I was actually asking for compassion and for myself and not to be so hard on myself and to allow myself to feel safe and to let myself struggle and not take that as this is my life kind of a thing. And so what came through was understanding the desire for things to be different is natural. It is not intended as a punishment to show what is not what you are not. It is to know that life can be better because it is better. Choose better, better feeling thoughts, better things to see, to notice, sweet things like a bird, a cluster of clouds, colors, simple things to help guide your mood into better territory. It's not a leap. It is called the path for a reason. One step at a time. Notice where you are and look ahead with optimism. You find what you're looking for. It's best to be aware of the focus of your attention, your looking because you will always always find that which you are looking for. Then I heard Esther's voice enough and then she continued. Abraham continued, it is our promise to you that you were born in this body for a reason and the time is exactly right for your becoming. Do you trust the universe in its hour infinite intelligence to bring to you all everything that is meant for you? And in turn, will you allow your part of us to guide you into abundance? The life you've dreamed before coming into a body? Even if the connection is garbled and our signals between get mixed up, do you promise to remember you can trust in us, you and the process of unfolding because it is all the same alignment all parts are moving into and with the same intention to allow you to live fully the truth of who you are the whole truth not to pick and choose parts but the whole because that is what you are whole and complete filled with light. I mean, wow, that is powerful. That was the end of the message. And I just said, thank you, Abraham. And they said, you're welcome. And they said, come again for what inspires you also inspires us whole. I'm like, wow. Okay. So the part where they said, will you allow your part of us to guide you and then they talk about even if the connection is garbled and our signals between get mixed up what that is speaking to is our own inner guidance our piece of the universe inside of us that part of us that we call our soul or our intuition that's what they're speaking of it's we have to be part of this we're not separate from we feel separate from because of our thoughts that in turn create emotion that makes us feel overwhelming or pushes us away from that which we actually really deeply want which is connection and it can be difficult because we have to traverse some of these what is considered shadows which it's so hard to use that word I mean, every time I hear myself say it I go it sounds so creepy and dark like a horror movie it's not it's simply the nighttime versus the daytime so when we are walking through things that we can't really see everything it's not clear we're not sure what that really is is this metaphor for inside of ourselves the parts of us that are insecure and the insecure parts or the self-doubt parts come up because we are simply not connected fully in order to be connected fully we have to allow those insecurities to be present and to recognize that they are not the whole of us they are a small part of us and they are connected into some experiences some memories where we can let go of those things they've already been we've already had those experiences they're the past they're the past and not one event or even if there is a defining moment or defining event a tragic moment or an exhilarating event that one thing does not define us because we can't then look backwards and constantly compare our lives to that one moment in time the before it and the after it it doesn't work because there is a wholeness to our lives there's not separate sections even though it does seem like there is if you look at life linear in the body sense when we're young, we're a child we have other people that we depend on we become adults we start experiencing life we start making mistakes we start making our own choices some good ones too some really good ones we get into relationships some of us have children or families or we move we do all these things we have this life that we live and then we get into different stages of life where those children are moved out where they have their own families where we move then out of our homes and into something different that's more small that more represents where we're at in our life and that linear life we have less then we did in the time when everybody was at home and we were working really in the middle of our jobs working up the career ladder but in the ending of that time in the career and we're looking toward retirement and not working as much and then there's this slower time life kind of slows down and then the health becomes something that we focus on because we're aware that our body is losing its momentum and so our attitudes the value of the relationships that we have and the simple things like watching the birds out the window or our favorite TV show or a call from a friend I mean those are like the things we live for and life just gets kind of slower at that time and when we look at that it makes sense that we would have this frame of reference because we're in a human body to process and work through life but there's more to it and now we are transcendent the spirit is always the same age and is always eternal therefore there is always that inner guide that we have our spirit might have different voices from different parts of our lives from different experiences to give us wisdom or knowledge but it's never to pull us back into the feelings we had then or to re-experience what we had and even if it's good stuff even if it's happy memories our past is over it's done it's done and what is important is this understanding and this connection to this higher evolution this universal consciousness this some call god some call higher self some call god self some call spirit it's really quite profound it's really quite profound and it makes sense then and it's definitely in a state of confusion conflicted feelings emotions because we know that this time span of the body is short and then there will be a time where it slows down and there's also this feeling of needing to not miss anything and take everything in and missing out on an opportunity or something then it's just gone and it feels like oh did I make a mistake and then the mind steps in and then it is this kind of judge critic to help help you make the best choices and it means well but it can overpower and then we can be so afraid and almost paralyzed by fear of making bad choices that we don't make any choices and we all well know that when you don't make any choices you're making choices so really instead of thinking about action think about the connections and the relationships and just really wow I'm just looking at this like how it is our promise to you that you were born in this body for a reason the time is exactly right for your becoming and then there's asking of trust do you trust the universe do you trust God in its hour and then they corrected in its our infinite intelligence to bring to you all everything that is meant for you and I'm like wow trust that's a big deal isn't it trust in the infinite wisdom within yourself trust that you are eternal you are more than your body and then they ask though for something in return because in relationship you must be in balance that's perhaps where the conflict is right we seem like we're do-do doing well how are we receiving then unless we slow down to actually receive we're doing we're putting out action but how we receiving we're not focused on that so we're missing a piece so right away we're conflicted then they ask will you allow your part of us so your spirit to guide you into abundance the life you dreamed of before you came into a body even if so then they talk about even if the connection is garbled so even if we don't hear clearly we don't understand exactly in our souls we don't know if it's our intuition or our mind and they say our signals between get mixed up do you promise to remember that you can trust in us you that we are you and you are us and you can trust in us and the process of unfolding because it is all the same alignment all parts moving into and with the same intention this is so powerful I hope that this inspires you does it does it feel inspiring to you today I hope so for more information about this go ahead and check out my playlist on fairy grass opera YouTube channel it's called Abraham and this again is inspired by Esther Hicks she does channeling with a group of energies called Abraham and I've been listening to them for many many years now probably all five or maybe even more than five years now yeah probably more than five years oh yeah it's probably been more than five years and so it was really sweet when I actually connected in this morning because I was just writing for myself I was actually journaling and thinking about I have a counseling session today and what I wanted to talk to my counselor about and I was talking about the self compassion piece and making some notes before my session today and thinking about this and allowing for healing then so when you think about something and you can bring it up and you're willing to let it be present with you then it's then it's easy to heal it you're bringing it into the light it's not stuck in the darkness it's out into the light and then we can see the truth of it we don't anticipate it's so much worse than we it's so much worse than we anticipate it to be no it's usually the opposite we anticipate it so much worse the anticipation is so much worse have you ever seen a kid get a shot my kids oh my gosh one of my kids especially like he would run out of the room like oh my gosh I have to get a shot run out of the room I'm like oh come on I mean I'm not crazy about the needle situation either but I mean he would literally run he's like you know 13 running out of the room and get a shot it's like the anticipation of it is so much worse than that one second that it is there it's done it's over it is oh it's done like I remember one time he was like what it's done and we're like yeah you're too busy screaming and freaking out and telling us you don't want a shot that you already had it oh so the anticipation is actually worse so the shadow anticipation of how bad we really think we are it's so much worse than the reality of who we are because who we are is light regardless of what you've done or you think you've done or you think how bad you are how bad thoughts you have or how heavy your your heavy heavy heaviest deepest of emotions are you are light remember that you are light you are filled with light because that is what you are as this channeling says whole and complete filled with light this is Bridget thanks so much for listening if you're looking for me on social media and want to connect check me out at
