Dear Julie - I have been experiencing very difficult changes in my life for what seems like 3 years. First my mother became very ill and is now unable to communicate with us. Then my previously stable financial life and career suffered major setbacks. And most recently my longterm secure relationship ended. I feel I don't have the energy to try to fight to save it. I keep wondering when things will start getting better. This is the most difficult period I have ever gone through. -- Yvonne

Dearest Yvonne,

You have been going through a huge upheaval in your life with a great deal of loss. Often, this kind of 'earthquake' takes place so that a child of light can be helped out of their old identity into a new one. The shattering of previous stable structures is a signpost that this is taking place, letting you know that you are participating in the reorganization of your inner and outer worlds upon a new foundation, one that includes your larger self, light, and God. This new foundation is already within you, and the precipitating events are the catalysts that will make it possible for you to access it.

This is a sacred time, beloved one, one in which you have the choice as to how you will hold things. You may become submerged for a while in feelings of loss and the hardship of letting go, but on the other side of this is the space that is needed for your new self to emerge. Prayer is most important and useful at this time. Pray to be open to the discovery of the direction that God is leading you in. Pray to be open to the signals that come from the new perspectives that are trying to emerge. Pray to be helped with the letting go process. In addition to prayer, the practice of aligning on a daily basis will be helpful to you in getting through this difficult time.

Although the old structures of life are being dismantled, if you look deep inside you will find that something else is trying to take their place. This shift may not be reflected outwardly yet, but it is being constructed inwardly out of the rupture that has already occurred with respect to your identity. Know also, that many others are going through similar transformational changes, and that by reaching out to others you will feel less lonely and less concerned about the truth of the transformational process.

Blessings, beloved one. Julie Redstone
