The Secrets to Awakening

I want to share what I have learned about awakening through the ascension process.  The two major areas of awakening is facing our fears or overcoming ego, and learning unconditional love for ourselves or self love. There are other areas as well, but I will focus on these two key areas.

During the past two years as part of my ascension work, I have had to face many of my fears, and overcoming ego.  My parents left me as an infant to relatives, and then my father abused me after reuniting with my parents when I was eight years old.  I have had to go back emotionally to face the terrifying fear of this childhood abuse and abandonment.  By working through the pain and hurt of my experience, I was able to release this pain and emotionally unburden myself, forgive my father for what happened, overcome the fear of abandonment, and take responsibility for my rage and blame of my parents for many years afterwards.

As a result, I unblocked my sacral, solar plexus, and root chakras, and transmuted my energy field several times to a higher frequency.  The resulting energy transmutation also changed my need for and dependency on this love that I failed to receive from my father.  I also changed my perspective and fears about men in my life, including trust, intimacy, and compassion.  The biggest daily change in my life is the significantly reduced monkey chatter in my head or ego’s constant negative voice.  I am now working through issues involving my mother in the hopes of the same success.

The next part is learning unconditional love for ourselves or self love. Self love is giving ourselves what we need to nurture, protect, and care for ourselves.  When we seek this from others, it is called dependency that is not love at all.  When we get our needs met from others, we take from them, while love is giving freely to others without expecting anything in return.    Many times when we do or get things for or from others out of obligation or guilt, we resent it anyway, and eventually they stop.

Self love is giving ourselves what we need to thrive, and to give ourselves compassion, kindness, and care, but this is not selfishness but being true to ourselves.  This means to take action for ourselves by finding our purpose in our lives, finding what we love to do, and finding others who will support our new lives.  We also must be willing to give up people and situations that no longer serve our spiritual life.  Since before we are able to love others, we first must learn to love ourselves.

Once we let go of the pain and wounds from our past, we must fill that void with love from ourselves.  As a result of learning self love, I experienced a heart opening, and transmuted my sexual energy to love energy.  I feel bliss and fullness in my heart every day giving love freely to those around me without expecting anything in return.  This is the way to heal thyself.  May you find healing and love for yourself. ~ Brooke (Copyright 2013 Burrowing Owl Press/Brooke Chang with All Rights Reserved)
