Expanding Capactiy
One of the first teachings my guides began to instill in me years ago was the idea that what is desired already exists. They said, “Whatever it is that you wish for already exists in a specific plane of reality.” They used the example of asking for a million dollars. They continued, “When you ask for that sum of money, the path to it immediately opens up. The trick is to realize that then your work becomes removing anything that blocks you from receiving it.” Of course, from the human perspective, this is easier said than done.
Simple isn’t always easy.
The things that block me from receiving can be beliefs, old habits, cellular memories, expectations, soul contracts, social, and familial programming. The list goes on. Sometimes this work can be done quickly without much resistance, and sometimes it takes much, much longer.
Over the years, I have continued to dance with this concept. While it’s often challenging for me to wrap my head around, it has proven itself to be true time and time again.
Whenever I have arrived at a breakthrough moment, I am often struck by the sense of how familiar it is. Often proclaiming to myself “Of course I have finally arrived at this moment. I always knew I would!” In other words, most everything I have longed for, at some point, simply became the new normal.
Another iteration of this same teaching is that you already are what you long to be. This too has proven itself time and time again. When my work has pointed me to an internal exploration of my limiting beliefs or restrictive identities, I am always amazed, yet seldom surprised, at the realization that I have, in truth, always been the very thing I have been so desperately seeking. It's more about uncovering the thing that has always existed and excavating it from all the stuff that life has piled on top of it.
The way I find myself engaging with this understanding lately comes down to capacity. In the simplest terms, it's whether or not I am capable of embodying the experiences I want to create for myself.
Embodying something can be frustrating to understand. How I look at it is through the lens of sustainability. The ability to embody something comes down to whether or not I can sustain the version of myself in a reality that allows me to have it. Can I hold the energy and frequency of something within myself to the degree that I no longer doubt or question it? Does my own sense of worthiness support me in experiencing what I desire in the long term? Do my beliefs in myself and what I am capable of sustain the reality where I am able to inhabit a life of fulfillment, joy, abundance, health, etc.? Have I quieted the voices of self-sabotage and cleared myself (and my path) of anything and everything that might possibly convince me that what I want is not possible or available to me for whatever reason?
The majority of living the dream is an inside job. For me, it's easy to show up and put in effort. That's simply the hammer driving the nail in. The mental blocks that prevent me from deciding to apply the effort are the thing that can be tricky.
Capacity is an interesting concept. It reminds me of another lesson they offered me about the ladder. They said, “Life is a ladder. The rung you’re currently reaching for will inevitably become the rung you’re standing on. You just have to keep climbing.”
When I first stepped onto the path of building my practice in 2012, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I didn’t know where I was lacking skills or knowledge, I was just overjoyed at the journey of discovery. There’s a certain amount of bliss that comes from this state. It’s very childlike. It’s the Fool card in the tarot. I was a beginner, and since I didn’t know what my limitations were, anything was possible. In that sense, there really were no limitations.
When I was searching for answers post-awakening, I found a lack of spiritual teachings that were practical and grounded. After a lot of dead ends and frustration, I decided to do it myself. I asked my guides to help me figure out how to make these really “out there” concepts more real. This, of course, led to the journey of clearing out anything and everything in my path that stood in the way of doing that. The only way I was going to find how to simply and practically deliver spiritual truths and teachings to my clients and students was to figure it out in real time.
Healer, heal thyself.
When I decided to launch Awakening School, it was the realization of a dream for my practice that I’d had for several years. I was raised by teachers and have a background in training myself, so teaching has always been a natural fit. I always knew that eventually I would be doing a lot more of it through my practice, I just never knew exactly when that day would come.
Recently, I realized that Awakening School is also me stepping fully into the role of teacher and claiming it for myself. It’s shifted things for me in the most positive and powerful way. I also realized that although the path over the past few years has been really challenging and not at all what I expected, it’s all been in service of increasing my capacity. It’s one thing to teach a course that’s 1-3 days long. However, stepping into the 13-week program of Awakening School is a huge leap in my capacity to hold space for myself, for the big energies of the program, and most importantly for the people who will be a part of this inaugural launch.
Looking back, I see now that while I have been talking about doing a course like this for several years, I am only now at the place where I have the capacity to embody my role in it.
One of the most important questions we can ask ourselves is what we're no longer available for. The power of this question can lead to an understanding of what it's time to let go of. This, in turn, leads to clarity about what we really want and where we need to increase our capacity in order to be able to hold the kind of life we dream of. The magic of Awakening School is I know how to do all of this, and now I can teach people the same thing.
