In my heart of hearts, I know that we never truly fall from our constant state of grace. I know that on the other side of the veil we are vibrant, strong souls here on earth to experience this thing we call life. However, I also know that as humans, sometimes we don’t always feel so empowered and vibrant. Sometimes despite our light and strength, we still experience fear and chaos. We do, from time to time, still stumble and fall.

It is at these very critical moments of fear and uncertainty that I want you to stop and take a closer look at the situation. And when you do, I guarantee you will discover two things. First of all you will discover that change is in progress; and not just any change but the changes you have been faithfully praying for and working to manifest. Just like the seasons of time, summer must gracefully take its fall. And just like a tree loses its leaves in preparation for winter, so too must you let go of anything no longer serving you, whether that be old belief systems, negative situations or fears. Do you think trees panic when they see their leaves are starting to fall? I don’t think so. I think they gracefully let go of the old and prepare for the new, always knowing they are taken care of and moving forward through their cycles of time.

Secondly when zooming into your situation, you will discover there is a safety net there to catch your fall. Just like a fearless trapeze artist taking another smooth leap towards their end goal, so too are you moving forward in your life. And in the same way, should your footing slip during a point of fear, distraction or even criticisms from yourself or others, rest assured you will land safely in the reliable security net of your guides and angels. These spiritual beings will gently catch you, wipe your tears away and encourage you to get right back up.

It is true, life here on earth is certainly not for the weak or faint at heart. It is designed to grow and strengthen souls who embark on this adventure with the will and courage to succeed in whatever areas they strive towards. Once we get here on earth however, sometimes we tend to forget just how strong we truly are. I am here to remind you! You are strong. You are courageous. You are resilient. You are protected. Even if you don’t feel that way today, free fall into faith anyway. Keep moving forward and embrace the falls. A fall is what prepares us for the new season ahead.  A fall is what makes us stronger. Every fall is part of our unique story. It is our cycle of time. At this very moment, faith may be all you think you have, but I promise it is also all you will ever need.

Namaste,

Lauren Heistad
