But what we resist persists. And when we don’t yet know how to extract the wisdom from and then release the painful residue of past relationships and situations, that energy becomes stuck within us, affecting both the quality of the new experiences we draw into our lives, and our ability to manifest our hearts’ desires.

And so, it may be a beneficial time to begin asking yourself, what part of your life are you currently railing against? Is it some part of yourself? Are you frustrated about, locked into opposition with, or feeling heartbroken by another person? Are you dreading or fearful about a particular situation or experience you’re involved with?

The first step to transforming any situation is to stop trying to suppress, deny, or obliterate it, and to simply acknowledge the emotions this contrasting situation is triggering within you. It could be a “hot” emotion, like rage, frustration, embarrassment, or shame. Or maybe you’re feeling the icy emptiness of anxiety, terror, abandonment, disillusionment, powerlessness or isolation. While painful to feel, these emotions are simply blocked energy. Sometimes we’re able to release it on our own, and sometimes we need the support of a qualified professional to help us release the blocks in our energy fields and create our lives anew, from a higher spiritual vibration.
