Anapausis

Do not give up, but allow your heart to disengage from your struggles. Give yourself much-needed rest. You are in a phase of recovery. If you have been off your path, you are going to come back strong. You will regain your spark of passion, inspiration, and devotion. A certain order of events needs to take place for your soul path to come to fruition. Commit yourself to your sacred journey, trusting that the right thing will happen at the right time.

The Greek word Anapausis refers to the sensation of work, so one can regain strength, renew vitality, and heightened creative productivity. It is a rest for success. The Oracle of Anapausis advises physical, emotional, and psychological rest to reset yourself. That might mean, switching off without fear or guilt. It is likely to mean giving up worries, and the constant replay of anxiety ridden speculations. Find some spaciousness and pleasure within and around yourself so you may experience healing and renewal. If you have been considering working with a healer, this is confirmation to pursue such a path.

The Oracle also recommends finding spiritual rest, even if you are still working hard. Spiritual rest happens when we take Sanctuary in the sacred. We give up trying to become something or other and instead tend fully to the task at Hand, completely engaged in the moment. When we do so, we are trusting that the universe knows what it is doing, and that we are part of a greater unfolding plan.

In modern culture, we can aspire to become ‘someone’ – someone visible, someone influential, someone powerful, someone important. Yet, no matter how much worldly or even spiritual power a person may appear to have, the idea that one person is more important than another belongs to the realm of ego. Spirit loves and respect all beings equally.

What our world needs are more people who are spiritually connected to their hearts. As you become such a being, others will seek you out. You don’t need to set yourself up as being anything at all. You can enjoy the relief of giving up any obsession with appearances or external validation. Instead, deep dive into the nourishing in a realm of your own soul, with trust in all that is, and all that shall be. Free from distracting and disempowering pursuits, you may connect, rest and restore yourself with a real sense of your spiritual beauty, value and presence. And the space of restful immersion, you realize you were enough.

Anapausis brings special guidance for those who have been going through deeply challenging struggles of mind, body, and soul. Perhaps you feel exhausted, confused, and afraid. Even if you are still going strong in the outer world, you have a need for spiritual convalescence. You are encouraged to allow yourself adequate rest and to engage in activities geared toward healing.

This Oracle recognizes there is something you have been working hard to bring it to being. With a little more trust in your spiritual connection, you’ll find the way easier and more joyful. You don’t need to push yourself so hard. A Spirit can sustain you through your devotion and commitment, so that every effort you make is more than matched by the inflow of spiritual grace. Don’t allow your mind – or the deranged ways of this world – to create awareness and yet another drama. Take rest in the spiritual light of love, rest from fear, rest from anxiety, rest from needing to work it all out right now. Even on your most confusing or most productive days, you can find renewal in Spirit. It is always available to you, even right now.

Healing Process

Imagine, feel or intend that you are being bathed in radiant white light. It gently but effectively removes tentacles of attachment that your ego has generated. It allows you to effortlessly release, false viewpoints, or misguided interpretations of events. It gently cleanses and aligns your visions and desires, so they are in harmony with your heart and the universe. This brings you back to your true self.

You can relax and allow this realignment to happen naturally in the spiritual light. As you surrender the restlessness of ego, you can settle into the inner loving ground of your beautiful heart. There is much for you to receive. You need not chase after anything or anyone, nor is there a need to fret or worry. Now is the time to rest in a place of love and trust. Rest for as long as you need, then ground yourself with a deep breath in and out. You have completed your healing process.
