Fear of Change

Here is another channelled message from a few months ago, which is much more relevant for me now as I *actually* start sharing my writing and channeling out in a public way. I have no doubt Spirit led me to publish this one today as a little reminder. Message received!

Even when it feels good and in alignment to do our purpose work, it’s normal to feel scared and uncomfortable. And it’s SUPER important to acknowledge those feelings and to take good care of ourselves. However, I can no longer use my fear of being seen and/or rejected as an excuse not to do what I know I’m supposed to be doing!

It’s very ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’. So here’s me doing it anyway.

The channeled message begins under ‘What’s coming through’. If it’s relevant for you where you are today, I hope you will find something you need in it. Much love, and now, I’m off to go process my emotions!

What’s going on

I am feeling on the brink of something new for myself: greater authenticity and truth-speaking to myself and others, living closer to my soul and my soul’s purpose, deeper and more meaningful connections, and also a greater vulnerability in sharing more of myself with the world. A part of my self knows who I am and who I’m meant to be and surely feels confident in that, but another part of me feels daunted and a little scared.

What’s coming through

Nurture the part of you that is scared. You can imagine this fear as coming from your inner child. This child is afraid of change, of changing what it has always known and has come to feel safe within. It has felt safe to hide parts of yourself: the parts of you that did not fit in the mold, that were ‘weird’ or would need to be explained or justified to those around you. As a kid, it was and often can be difficult to assert your power, as your world does not typically recognize the inner-knowing of children as something to be encouraged or honored. Like so many, then, you come to rely on those around you to assert their desires onto your life. It is well past its time for this to change for you. And trust that, even though it might not feel safe at first to thrust off the blanket and step into the world in a more self-empowered way, you are much, much safer.

You will always be safe when you follow the call of your soul. You will be guided and nurtured and held in love and support. You will be led to experiences that bring you deeper into the energies of growth, magic, and awe. The soul realm is safe. When you deny this power, then you are existing in a different plane entirely: a plane where there is fear, where there are risks.

This is the pitfall of people-pleasing. You can never please people well enough that you are truly satisfied with your life, nor can you people-please others enough that you please them – and certainly not surprise, delight, impress, challenge, transform, inspire, or excite them – into greater growth than they could ever imagine. Only from your soul can you do this. The ego might want to make other people ‘happy’ – or believe that it does – but hanging your identity hat on something so shallow is incredibly unsafe, to use a word we used earlier. You’ll find true stability by residing in the seat of your soul as that is what is eternal, that is what is You, and that is what unconditionally loves, supports, and sees you for Who You Are. You can face no real risk, no real danger here.

You are partially afraid of the consequences of following your inner guidance. This includes fears of becoming unreliable, changing too much, and being perceived as flighty or unreliable. We encourage you to see past these ego fears and consider a greater one: isn’t it much scarier to come into this life as a soul from the non-physical and base your entire precious life and personality on others’ expectations? When you are meant to be your biggest, brightest – and maybe most spontaneous, exciting, ever-changing and delighting – self? Wouldn’t it be scarier to deny your soul in favor of something which is truly unstable by definition – your ego?

And this is not to shame or speak only negatively about the ego, because it does have a purpose and it, too, is worthy of your love and compassion. But do not let it run the show. Your soul is the stage manager, the director, the visionary. Align with the power of your soul, and you can only be safe: you can only be delighted, excited, and connected to the joy you have always had within you. There really is nothing to fear: it is only change, and change can be truly wonderful. Allow it – it is here for you.
