Find new connections

Break free from old patterns and let your light shine

Connection. By definition, it is something associated with another. A relationship between two or more things, objects, or people. Like peanut butter and jelly.

I feel that it goes deeper than that. Especially since I am a true believer that love is always the root of everything, or should be. Connection is more than pairing things together that we perceive to go together based on traditions, rituals, rules, and ideologies often rooted in archaic thoughts.

I am not a big fan of PBJ’s, to be honest. However, I love peanut butter. I have even come to a point where bread is no longer an interest of mine, but I found organic rice cakes that I enjoy. Sometimes I feel like jam, sometimes I don’t. I have the freedom to decide.

Peanut butter comes in many types, textures, and consistencies. We all can search for what feels right, what tastes right in life. In a world filled with endless choices, we have the freedom to have what innately suits our individuality. We have a voice. Our feelings matter.

Gone are the days where we must do only what the norm tells us, or what we perceive to be the norm. Gone are the days where we must do something simply because it was done that way for years. Are you stuck in ritualistic patterns for comfort? Are you stuck because it is what you have always done? Are you stuck because it was someone else’s fear and you have taken it on for yourself? What is your connection to the thought patterns that form your day? The only thing that is real is here and now. The imprint exists but it does not have to be your reality.

I believe connection is deeper than something perceived to go together. Thank goodness that globally we are moving forward from some of those old and worn-out beliefs. Joining, link, bond, influences, relations, and assemblies are a few synonyms for the word connection. All these words have a deeper meaning past being just a word. It is our invisible thread toward oneness.

It is that feeling when we meet someone and they instantly feel right. They feel like us. Before you know it, you find a link far past having children in the same class or that you work for the same company. The bond is knowing that someone supports you and honors your emotions. Maybe they had served in the military and experienced similar events. Maybe they had difficulty breastfeeding with their newborn and appeared at the right time to help you. When we trust our inner voice and honor our feelings, the joining of like-minded individuals appears. Yes, back to like attracts like. Being receptive to friendship and unity opens the path for inner child healing. I find that as we grow in our experiences, we attract the influences that promote the release of old wounds along the way. Hence why it is vital to be within your inner power, your connection with Spirit.

We want our connections to taste good, your idea of peanut butter and jelly. Along the way, friends may come and go. They may no longer fit into our ever-growing state of divine power. We can fill that space with gratitude that we were able to grow to the next level of awareness of self.

Surround yourself with the ones that empower your courage and bravery. Link with the ones who will assist in forgiveness and understanding rather than sit in commiseration. One mustn’t remain stuck in old patterns just because that is what our family and loved ones did before us. One can only know what they knew at the time. You know more now. You represent the healing of this Earth.

Connect with the higher vibration. In a world that has been fear-based, shine your light. A unified beacon will burn bright. You are not alone. Open your heart to the connection. It is ever protecting and safe. Open your heart and assemble. Do not get caught in the semantics of what cannot be done at this time and space. All it takes is your heart and mindset to join.

Connect yourself with your holy love. Your light will shine, and others will surround you in a beautiful force creating inner healing. The power of healing within unity clears the path for dreams to become reality. Choose to connect and step into the life that you were meant to have. Your inner healing will empower the Universe’s healing. United we stand.
