Grieving for Our Loss

deep-change1

Through every transformation, there is giving up of an old life that you lived before the transformation.  It was something I never really thought about as I have been transforming on my spiritual journey for the past three and half years.  As we heal our past emotional pain, we shed our old selves to transform into a new version of ourselves like a caterpillar into a butterfly.

For a butterfly, it is the natural progression of things, but for humans, we have awareness of what is happening to us.  There is a grieving of this past life of who I was, what I experienced, and the people in my past.  This grieving is part of the transformation process.  I cry frequently during my day as I let her go, and watch my past fade away.

It is not that I want to hang onto that past, but to acknowledge that I had this past and it is time to move forward in my life.  It has been a difficult process for me, as letting go is very hard for me.  In letting go, I move forward without the expectations of my past, without the judgments, without taking on others burdens, and without holding onto my past pain.

In grieving for this loss, I will be able to let go of my past in peace.  For I surrender to what is intended for me in my life as I shall finally shed the skin that no longer fits me and as the new version of me comes into view. (Copyrigh 2014 Soul Awakening with All Rights Reserved)

    Hello,
    Your blog caught my attention as a lot of what you talk about I can relate to. I started opening up in 2004 after a Reiki taster session which had a profound effect on me and led me onto the attunements. My life changed dramatically and I came to the realisation that in order to find the real me I had to let go of the me that I had always known. As you know, this requires great sacrifice and is a very painful process but once you take those first steps you cannot go back. For me this process started nearly ten years ago and I can still feel changes and growth, sometimes this is fast and surprises me whereas other times it feels slow and I wonder what I’m doing or not doing. I try to trust that things are unfolding as they should be but in those slow times I can feel frustrated.

    When I think back to the old me, I recognise her as someone that I know but she is so far removed from who I am finding myself to be and that it almost feels like a miracle! I chose the name chrysalislight after it came to me in a dream and it fits perfectly because of this ongoing transformation. I had felt niggled about starting a blog but was reluctant to do so but the dream and a few other gentle nudges gave me the push I needed to make a start and I’m glad now that I did. It was hard to put down the words but it has proved to be therapeutic.

    I wish you well on your path.
