Out of Darkness

Something that has been troubling you, something dark within you or in your life, is about to become something else. You won’t see it coming, but when the time is right (and it soon will be), out of darkness will come new life.

A seed of new life is growing. Perhaps you cannot see it or feel it because the seed begins its journey to new life in the darkness, hidden, away form sight and away from light. This seed is destined to being new life to a situation that might seem to be dying, a fresh perspective to a stale problem.

When the time is right-and that is fast approaching-the seed will push through, rise up and reveal itself. It will no longer be just a seed, but a shoot will grow into a plant and can then flower and bear fruit. It is not a question of whether or not it is going to happen. It is going to happen. It is just a matter of time.

Whatever struggle or challenge is in your life or in your heart right now, trust that it is going to work out. Not only that, but the very thing that seems to be darkest in your life, the most troublesome, is actually going to be what brings forth a beautiful gift of new life.

In a strange way, it is actually trying to help you. It is assisting you in begin ready to receive and experience new life, for something new to be born in you and in your life. This might be the realization of your own inner strength, your courage, the development of belief in yourself, confidence to trust your instincts or some other gift yet to be understood.

In time, you’ll see that those gifts-developed in order to get through the darkness-helped you step out of the darkness and into a whole new life. Soon you’ll see there was an opportunity and even a blessing hiding in the troubles of your past, just waiting for the right time to transform itself into light and life.

Healing Trick:

To help you take the wisdom offered and put it to best use in your life now, do this healing trick to clear obstacles to putting tis guidance into place.

Crouch down in a little ball or lie down, curled up, as small as you can be.

Say aloud: “The seed starts very small and in darkness.”

Then as slowly as you can, allow your spine to straighten as you uncurl yourself. Eventually you will rise up to standing, legs straight and arms open, head up, shoulders back, chest feeling open rather than concave.

You will say aloud: “The seed grows into a strong, healthy plant! It brings forth new life in perfect time, and in the perfect way.”

Still standing up, place one hand on your heart and say aloud: “I am loved and protected by the universe. As the darkness holds the seed of new life safe, until the moment for birth is upon it, new life rises up through me. I rise! I rise! I rise!”

You have completed your healing trick.

Affirmation:

Say the following affirmation aloud to boost the power of this message and to integrate it into your body, mind and soul. You can say it morning and/or evening for a few days, or even a few months if that feels right for you, or just at the end of your healing trick.

“At the perfect time, and in the perfect way, I conquer all with love and life! I rise! I rise! I rise!”
