You Can’t Force What Is Not Meant To Be

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Nature has a way of guiding us.

Teaching us to let things be.

We can’t force anything that’s not meant to be.

Man has a way of wanting to control.

Nature shows us that we must let go of control.

There is a process of how things are.

No matter what you do, if it is not for you, it will not work.

You can try to push it.

You can try to pull it along.

But how far do you need to go, forcing what is not meant to be to try and fit where it doesn’t belong?

–

We all go through changes.

This is life.

Part of being human is continuous evolution.

We don’t stay the same.

So when we try to stay all and continue to do the same routines that are no longer fit for us, it’s going to become uncomfortable.

Just like wearing clothes we have grown out of.

Or working at a job that we are over qualified for, because we have taken classes to move beyond that position.

When it’s time to move on, we will feel it.

And if we continue to try to wear those clothes, or stay in that job that no longer fits us, there will be big signs that force us to move on.

Have you ever worn pants that spit up the… backside? – I have…. Not fun!

If you’re feeling pushed to move on, listen.

If you are feeling the need to find a new place in life, go for it.

We can’t stay small if we have grown bigger.

We can’t expect to fit into places that we have been working so hard to move away from.

So go.

Get out there.

Make room for your new growth.

Re-pot, re-pant, re-job, or re-locate yourself.

There is no better way to feel more comfortable than to listen to that energy and MOVE ON!

Your growth deserves energy to move.

Your new life is waiting for you.

A quick edit, but I will be doing more work on this image to prepare it for printing.

Breathe in Life

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Life is better at the beach. 🏖️

  • Take time to take care of you.

–

Life blows by.

All of a sudden, it’s the next year. The next season, or the next century.

–

How often are you slowing down to remember what brings you joy and peace?

–

How often are you remembering to breathe. Not just to live, but to feel life.

–

Be with this moment.

–

Breathe in this moment.

–

Life goes by quickly.

–

Stop counting the second and the regrets.

–

Start counting your blessings and your breaths.

💜

Crossroads

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

We can chase and chase who and what we think is right for us, but we won’t ever make it there…

And it will never work.

What is right for you won’t require chasing.

What is right for you won’t require anything other than allowing.

Make it a priority to be there for yourself.

Whatever is meant for you will show up.

It won’t require you to follow a path that takes you into dark, unpaved forests.

It will show you light, just as you show up with your own light.

And when you find those people and those things in life that are meant for you,

You won’t have to wonder if they are right for you.

It will feel right.

The motions won’t feel forced,

They will feel natural.

The give and take will be balanced, naturally,

Just as the waters of the ocean are absorbed into the clouds and then rain back down to shower the earth.

You won’t have to wonder if you’re doing the right thing,

You won’t wonder if you’re supposed to feel so alone and lost in those places or with those people you chased…

You will feel balanced.

There are moments in life when we are left wondering…

Is this job right for me?

Is this friendship right for me?

Is this partner right for me?

Is this life what I want?

We are always going to meet a crossroads, with all things in life.

We must look and see what our feelers are telling us.

Is my happiness to the right?

Is it to the left?

Did I lose it somewhere on that road behind me?

Happiness is peace.

No matter which road you choose,

Happiness will always be something that you must learn to obtain on your own, from within.

Outside circumstances can show us what is aligned with us, but we ultimately choose our own happiness.

Sometimes what’s on the outside, in those surrounding areas, with people or without, is what shows us the way to the destination we feel will be most peaceful and fulfilling.

A crossroads is always a great start to a new journey.

Though, it’s not about which road to go down, each road will have challenges.

It’s about which challenges you feel you are able to take on.

Who’s your Friend

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Walking into life with new perspectives…

Sometimes we wonder why we are unhappy with ourselves.

So we look back over the years to see what’s created this.

We see our friendships and relationships, or the choices we have made.

We start looking over how some people have treated us, and how we have allowed a lot of unkindness to step over the doorstep of our soul’s experience, and right into our circle of peace.

People will show you who they are.

They will literally tell you.

Sometimes in words, but other times with their actions.

It can takes years to really see who they really were.

It can also take years to see your own self.

Learning to have more kind friendships takes a lot of self-love.

It takes determination and commitment to self.

Learning that you deserve to be around people who lift you up, rather than put you down, seems like it is common sense.

Yet, sometimes we don’t realize these people are putting us down, until we take time away from everyone so we can look back and process over it all.

Looking over what people have said to us, how we feel when we are around them, and the choices we make when we are with them, are all key signs to pay attention to.

Having been through many layers of my own healing, I am really starting to learn how I FEEL matters.

Listening to my body, to my energy, to my spirit with so many different aspects of life, is beginning to make more and more sense for so many different reasons.

How do you feel when you are alone?

How do you feel in nature?

How do you feel around certain people?

Listen.

Pay attention.

It is all communicating with you.

The Sound of the Storm

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

The Sound of The Storm

On the harder days, I remember this day.

It reminds me of what I have gotten through.

Feeling the storms of my emotions, while getting my picture taken, not knowing what would come after.

Already working on dealing with so much trauma, and trying to survive, trying to keep my kids safe, though, it felt like there was danger coming.

Feelings erupting inside of me.

Feeling in a place of uncertainty, just as we tend to be, when in the middle of a storm.

After this shoot, I went for my daily walk and found my daughter was missing.

She was not where she was supposed to be, and when she knew I knew, she made it so I couldn’t call or text her.

It was a long weekend, trying to find her and get her home.

These are not stories I typically share on here, due to not wanting to over share, but sometimes I just need to release, for the healing, and to maybe help someone else.

Twenty six hours of not knowing where my daughter was, or if she would come home.

Twenty six hours of being in panic for her life and her wellbeing.

She finally returned home, and she was safe.

One more scar on my heart.

One more memory to remember how much I love her.

One more reason to show her more sensitivity and compassion.

This shoot really ended up representing more than Marina Shipova or I could have even imagined.

Life is always full of uncertainty.

We just have to muster the courage to keep going.

One step at a time.

One day at a time.

One moment at a time.

Find your peace.

Find your balance.

Find your strength.

You are capable of more than you know.

❤️‍🩹

Trust Yourself

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Everyday we face challenges.

Everyday we are shown that we must choose.

Distractions or facing the truth.

You know what you need to do in order to be okay.

Trust yourself.

You are Capable

Trust the Process

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Everything you are doing is guiding you towards where you are focusing your attention.

If you have certain goals or desires, allow yourself to focus on them so you can be pulled into that direction.

Have faith that each challenge and experience is guiding you towards those desires.

It might not always feel as though you are on the right path, but as long as you are still here, living and breathing, you are still on your path.

Each experience helps you become more connected to those desires.

Each challenge chisels away more of what is not necessary and strengthens what needs to be strengthened so that you can be better suited for your desired experiences.

This existence is to allow you to grow and heal to become more aware of yourself and your purpose.

You are doing a great job.

Keep pushing.

Keep learning.

Keep trusting.

You are making moves and connecting to your deepest desires.

Trust the path that is laid out before you and understand that each new turn, each new hill, each new speed bump is here to help you move forward with greater strength.

Keep going.

You are doing excellently well, with exponential efforts.

Keep going.

You are almost there.

-M.
