How to honor the relationships that have ended in your life
The energetic exchanges we call relationships are one of the most important catalysts for growth in ourselves and others lives. We meet people on our life path that we connect to and develop these special bonds with to enjoy life. I always say that each relationship in our life does something different for us. Its up to us to honor that and discover it within that relationship. We never know how the path of each relationship is going to go and often times we have the highest expectations for the people that we come to love. The unfortunate and fortunate part is that not every relationship is meant to remain on the life path as you continue to walk forward. It can be extremely difficult to handle our emotions when there is a break in this bond we came to value. It’s healthy for us to surrender to how life presents itself. Our egos have a difficult time understanding this and it’s really our soul that knows of our highest good. It’s so hard in the moment to follow through on our highest good because we are human. With continued growth, you will have an easier time letting go of those not meant to stay because in the growth you learn to come home to your soul and trust the purpose of life.
Each season of our lives, while we are here on Earth, was designed to help us get to this magical place of alignment and alchemy. In these seasons, people have a unique purpose in our lives and we only truly gain this by reflection. Its important to be mindful of how our ego will get in the way of our soul’s reflections and that is why my advice to you is to be very intentional with your soul’s growth. Actively choose to take the time to reflect and honor the place you are in because of that unique relationship. We are all truly mirrors for each other with an important purpose to reflect things to each other.
On a true spiritual level, our souls know each other before even getting to this place we call earth school. It’s a school of powerful learnings and it’s in our relationships that we learn the lessons necessary for our souls evolution. The ultimate goal of our soul is to evolve, grow, love, and teach. If we keep this purpose in mind, we can honor the relationships we’ve had in this lifetime that didn’t quite make it to the next chapter and the ones that align with our soul and continue to walk down this path with us. Even the souls that transition back home continue to walk with us down this path. You chose to connect with each person in your life for a very special reason in this life. Don’t define it as positive or negative, simply define it as a way to evolve.
You first need to honor your emotions because it is a necessary step in moving forward with grace and acceptance. Most importantly it will ground you. We need to stay grounded to be healthy emotionally. When our emotions are completely dysregulated, we tend to make poor decisions and feel out of balance. The key here is to honor your emotions and stand in your power, not allowing these emotions to control you. Let them come in and flow effortlessly until they have served its purpose. Release with grace and continue to reflect.
Acceptance of what is your current reality vs what you wanted to come of it, is key here as well. This is a skill I have yet to master and I am aware of how it will help me be happy. Knowing that we are all on our own individual journey joined together at the right perfect times in life will help to separate yourself from others. We all have our own learning lessons and it’s your responsibility to acknowledge yours and not internalize other people’s actions or take on other people’s stuff. Other people’s options, life choices, feelings, etc do not define you. Again, that’s our ego taking over when our souls knows our truth. If a situation presents itself where you need to forgive someone, begin the process. Yes, it’s a process. It’s not something that we can do immediately and naturally, we need to be ready and it is a necessary step to take. Forgiveness does not mean acceptance. It means peace of mind and soul for you. To hold on to those negative emotions means to be giving someone you have no control over, the power. You do have control over your peace of mind and soul. Take that step for you. You deserve it.
You need to flow through these steps in order to get to a place or peace and gratitude. In this place you will be able to honor these relationships and people who helped shape your current reality. Don’t hold on to pain, resentment, regret, and anger. These emotions will only hold you back from being who you’re meant to me. Write a thank you letter to the people who have left your life to continue down their own life path. There is no telling that they are not meant to return or maybe they never will. And it is okay. Thank them for your learning lessons. Thank them for your growth. Thank them for bringing you closer to your authentic self. Honor these relationships and honor yourself for going through the steps to embody true inner peace. Do it for you.
