Patience
Weekly Wellness Newsletter
Patience has been on my mind this week. So I’m starting this newsletter with Something Insightful.
I’ve been having trouble with technology this week and it’s been testing my patience. Instagram will not let me log-in to the app on my phone. Zoom recordings are not downloading. Recording equipment has not been working as it should. And we’re not even in Mercury Retrograde yet!
In my spiritual practice, I always look for meanings within the things that happen in my life. The lessons that make everything make sense. Some might call these crazy justifications or even excuses, but I truly believe the Universe has our back in everything we do. To teach us or show us different ways and to remind us how to be in a higher vibration.
So, when something like instagram or zoom is not working for me, I look for a lesson. This week, the word that came to mind was “patience”. I would find myself getting irritated or annoyed when these technical devices decided not to work - I know I say that as if they have a conscious themselves - and realizing in the moment how impatient I was becoming.
Maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something or even some things. Such as taking a break from instagram and focusing my attention here, on Substack…which I most likely manifested. And learning to be patient because things are supposed to happen in their right timing. These moments of realization have led me to look into other areas of my life where I might be feeling or acting impatient. Such as my work, where I want to be in my career, or changes in my physical appearance.
We naturally tend to force things to happen that we really want to happen. This can show up in our work, our relationships, or in any other area of our lives. If something’s not working out but we are determined for it to happen, we keep trying. Which is great! Perserverence is a wonderful trait to have. Other times though, things don’t happen because they’re not supposed to.
This might sound silly when you think about the fact that we are the creators of our lives, but we actually co-create with Spirit and the collective consciousness, which means that things change all the time as we meld our manifestations together and alter timelines. Some things are meant to be and some things are not. I truly believe the Universe is always guiding us to our highest timeline, our best path forward, but our decisions ultimately determine how we ebb and flow on that path.
So, my message here is to slow down. When something is not working, step into patience by bringing the energy you’re outputting back into yourself, breathe, and slow your heart rate down if you’ve become irritated, anxious, or angry. Sit in the present moment, see the situation from a higher perspective - a zoomed-out view - and wonder what this trouble or setback might be teaching you.
Maybe you’re trying to force something that isn’t meant to be and slowing down will help you see other opportunities. You could be wanting something to happen now but then realize that things can take time to manifest and that as long as you’re on the path towards it and making good choices, you will get there. Faith pairs well with patience.
This quote really spoke to me because when we are out of patience, it is like we are out of touch with our Higher Self - our soul. We act out of ego and there’s a disconnect to Spirit. Patience is a great teacher in strengthening your willpower and connecting you to Oneness. Practicing it can calm your nervous system down, bring you inner peace, and reconnect you with your true self.
Test yourself. Put yourself in a situation that tests your patience or talk to someone who irritates you and practice being patient. We don’t grow a skill or a trait or a behaviour unless we experience situations that test us in that area and where we can develop it over time. It takes practice.
Perhaps you talk over someone in conversations or interrupt people without realizing it in the moment. You can practice sitting quietly and actively listening to the other without thinking about what you’re going to say next.
Maybe your pet is not learning a trick you desperately want to teach them and you find yourself getting frustrated. Or you’re eagerly awaiting for a certain someone to reach out to you and you feel anxious every time your phone dings so you race over to check it instantly.
There are so many different situations that we could put ourselves in to test our patience and practice being still or quiet - content even - just giving things time. Waiting. You could tell a friend or family member that you want to practice patience and ask them to help you by informing you when you begin to lose patience. However you want to practice it is up to you, but it’s a good practice to do! Especially when you find yourself becoming impatient in multiple areas of your life.
Raise Your Vibration.
This Angel message resonates well with what I’ve been saying about patience. It’s about levelling up and raising your vibration to attract the people, places, and situations that you’re meant to experience in your life. This means aligning with the things that will help you grow and transform - raising your consciousness and your energy.
The booklet references “like a pheonix rising from the ashes”, so maybe you’ve just come out of a dark time in your life and now you’re heading to a lighter and brighter future. It could have been a quantum leap in timelines or you perservered through a dark situation in your life. The Angels have seen your hard work, patience, and persistence - your commitment to yourself - and know you’re moving into a time of opportunities.
Again, sometimes we don’t always have patience to wait for things to happen naturally or in their right timing. But I have to say, I believe it always pays off in the end if we embrace the philosophy that everything happens for a reason. Everything is teaching us how we could be in a higher vibration and ascend in our soul’s evolution if we just slow down and listen to our intuition.
On another note, I’d like to personally share something I feel for the collective right now.
This is a very important and intense time in history. I know there are a lot of people out there that believe in the new world and the ascension of Mother Earth and humanity that inhabits her. We’ve been on a long journey and have been working hard in raising our own vibrations to ascend with her. Some of us have been awake much longer than others but we’re all in this together.
This has taken so much patience on our part. With other humans that aren’t quite aware of what’s going on, with countries and the game of politics, and shining a light on all the darkness hidden in the deep corners of the planet. I believe we’re in the last push with Pluto leaving Capricorn and heading into Aquarius for the next twenty or so years this month. We will see a drastic change in our world. Humanity is waking up and realizing that how we’ve been living cannot be so anymore.
With that said, I wish you all love and light. Keep up the good work of having patience and faith in yourselves and the lives that you are creating with Spirit. We light beings are ascending into a higher vibration on this Earth and having patience with ourselves is just as important as having patience for the things in our outer reality.
Namaste.
With Love, Light, and Gratitude,
