Let It Rise: Trusting What Emerges
Let It Rise: Trusting What Emerges
Every so often, a feeling rises without words, awakening something deep and true. These moments aren’t always comfortable. They often come with sensations we’ve tucked away. But what if they’re not here to disrupt us, but to transform us?
In this season of change, I’ve been practicing the art of letting things surface—not fixing, not rushing to understand, just staying with what’s rising. Sometimes that means feeling the feeling I’d rather avoid. Yet when I meet it with compassion instead of resistance, something softens. What was once buried becomes available. It becomes wisdom. And from there, I can choose again.
I imagine it like standing in the embrace of something greater, steady and timeless, holding me through change. Transformation happens not from force, but from trust in the unfolding. In that space, I remember I am a co-creator with Life itself, not by striving but by allowing what is ready to emerge. The old melts into the new. And I begin to see that some memories I once wanted to forget aren’t here to haunt me, but to help me return to wholeness.
This feels like a powerful moment to create new memories from the now, an invitation to walk in fulfillment rather than longing, to embody what I once only hoped for. I remind myself to have it, not want it. To live the energy of already having received. To celebrate the beauty of becoming, not just the outcome.
In that openness, I ask for guidance, and Life meets me with possibility and with miraculous relationships that remind me I am never alone. And with trust and tenderness, I gather momentum not to rush ahead, but to walk steadily into the fullness of here and now.
