After the Dark Night

What happens after the Dark Night?

What happens after you go into the shadows, into the releasing, into the purging, into the trusting, into the forgotten places of your being? What happens when you emerge out of the Dark Night of the Soul?

Light.

Space.

Freedom.

Purpose.

Connection.

When I began to step out of the Dark Night, it was as if I was a completely different person inside. I felt so light, so empty. My being felt as if so much had been dropped and so much had been let go of that when I closed my eyes there was so much more space.

I understand now what the Buddhists refer to when they reference ‘emptiness.’ But this isn’t an emptiness that is dull, this is an emptiness that is vibrant and brilliant and golden and filled with the limitless possibilities of the cosmos. Within this space, this light, this emptiness there is also a deeper connection to the Universe et large. You feel like you are more integrated, more one with it all. There is less of a line between you and others—everything is more blurred, more whole, more connected, more one. I felt much more connected to the sway of collective consciousness and as if it was harder for me to separate my being, my emotions, my thoughts from others. I am learning this is both a gift, but also provides its own challenges. A gift in that I can connect more deeply to the love, the presence the eternal joy of universal flow, but a challenge in that I feel others emotions, consciousness and vibrations much more acutely now.

Everything had so drastically shifted within me after I walked out of the Dark Night that, to be quite frank, I felt strange within my own body. Not strange bad, just different. It felt like so much newness, like I had grown a new layer of skin and it was new and sensitive and raw and just took time to get used to.

I have since passed that stage and I couldn’t imagine life without this deep, deep joyful, light, blissful, connected way of being.

But I know there is so much more to come. This is the path. The spiritual awakening path. It never ends. It goes on into infinity. There are so many more lessons to learn and now a deep calling to follow my true purpose for this incarnation on earth right now. This is very much driving my next steps: my soul’s calling, my soul’s purpose for this lifetime. And I am extremely excited about it (although I have no clue exactly what it is). But that’s the beauty of it, we aren’t supposed to know it all. We are just supposed to follow the pebbles, follow the next step, follow the next nudge, and then the next one after that, and the next one after that. And as you look back, you start to realize that the pebbles, the nudges, the following of the quiet voice within, it’s all part of your purpose, and it will string together in a beautiful synchronization of unfolding.

This is the next step, the next stage after you walk out of the Dark Night. Because there is absolutely no point in waking up without fully embodying the gifts, the joy, the love and the light that you are supposed to bring forth into this world, to the people, the plants, the animals, the beings that reside here.

If you are waking up on earth right now you are a Lightworker and your purpose is deeply tied to so many others and together we are going to join our love and light to bring about a new paradigm on this earth. It is the next stage of our evolution as a planet.

So know that if you walk out of the Dark Night, if you continue on your awakening path, it is part of this beautifully orchestrated plan to raise the collective vibration of our world. YOU are a part of that. How incredible, how amazing!

Follow your path, follow your awakening, and don’t be afraid of the Dark Night, because it is there to help you blossom into a more soul aligned, higher-self embodied being.

The Dark Night is simply a part of this path to get us to grow into the incredibly powerful light beings that we are.

So break through the shackles of what is holding you back and close your eyes and trust. Awaken and trust and follow your path.

I am here to help. I am here to lend a helping hand.

With so much love, with deep respect, I honor your beautiful soul.
