The Path of No Resistance

Posted on by Amenet Drago

I wish to let you know, we do not need to suffer anymore.

And that’s a big statement that needs some serious quantifying, so I had better get onto it.

The Ascended Masters and Archangels are telling me we don’t have to suffer anymore, all our suffering has been released and has been freed from our karma.  And yet, we clearly are still suffering.

There’s a dissonance between what they mean and what we are realising and that gap needs filling.

What they mean is we have all the skills at our disposal to remove or bypass suffering.

We have the ability to remove our own suffering at will.

Suffering used to be necessary for growth and karma but is no longer necessary.

We can choose to grow without it, we have been released of all our karma, all our past lives and the life we’re living now have been cleansed and integrated for us.

That’s what they mean.

But we are still suffering because we think we have to.

We are still suffering because either we don’t realise or don’t remember to use the tools we possess as human beings that can release or remove our suffering.

We are still suffering because we believe that suffering is a part of our lot, a part of our sacred journey.

It’s not.  Do you really think the Creator wishes you to suffer if you don’t have to?  The Creator is the most incredible source of indescribable unconditional love that can exist.  I know the Buddha talked about the need for suffering, how the path of Earth is one of suffering, but that was then and this is now.  The path of Earth is one of fulfilment, to experience fulfilment constantly, eternally, and we are all deserving of this. A lot has changed and suffering is no longer needed.

We can choose not to suffer.  But if we don’t believe that or don’t choose to energise the pathway of not-suffering, we stay stuck with suffering.  Maybe we don’t believe there’s no need for suffering.  Maybe we believe we are not worthy to be free of suffering.  A lot of us are carrying guilt, remorse, confusion, low self-worth.  A lot of us are carrying the energy of suffering because we don’t realise that we simply need to choose to let it go and no longer energise that pathway.  No longer persist in holding onto it. 

We no longer need to carry guilt, remorse, confusion, low self-worth, lack consciousness, whether lack of love or anything else.  We don’t need to carry any of those burdens, but we are.  Because when they come up to be released, we are not letting them go. 

And it’s not easy to let go.  We are letting them go one minute and then calling them back the next, like old frenemies, bad habits we are used to.  Goddess knows, I’ve got my struggles with this and I presume you’ve got yours.  It’s not simple and I am not saying it’s easy.  But I am saying it could be.

So, first of all, please know, you don’t need to be carrying those energies anymore, please don’t think suffering is a given. People on the journey, whether spiritual or not, people going through their shit, they think they have to try, to work hard at it, to make an effort. It’s the opposite. Stop trying, stop processing, stop looking for answers. Stop. You need do nothing, just let go, once you do that, everything can happen naturally. Get out of the way and let the Universe help you, it will do the work for you and you can sit back and receive. Stop fighting the Universal flow, really, it’s on your side and you are the one getting in the way.

Suffering can be a teacher, it shows where there’s something out of alignment, something causing dissonance in our lives.  So, it’s like having an early warning alarm system built in.  But then, we can notice, adjust and reset the alarm so that the suffering is gone.  But only if we know how. 

We need a bag of spiritual energetic tools that enable us to do this and more.  And that’s where my next online workshop comes in.  I’m creating a 101 course on energetic tools and gifts that we all have access to.   They will deliver to you:-

Instant inner peace

Instant grounding

Instant protection from all unwelcome dissonant energies

Instant boosting of your energy and vitality

Instant fulfilment and so much more.

You will have a directory of energetic solutions to every situation that you need help and support with. You will know how to express your life as an energy being, which you truly are.

And when it comes to letting go of suffering, it’s hard because our relationship with suffering goes deep, it’s been within us a long time, not just us personally but us as humanity, as a collective.  It’s a huge part of our psyche.  And so much is coming to the surface to be cleared now, so suffering is coming to the surface.  Many things that trigger suffering are coming to the surface.  If we don’t know how to clear that dissonant energy, we suffer more, not less as it’s meant to be. 

Whatever comes up from the past doesn’t need to be engaged with, just let it come up and move through. Whatever is coming up, it’s coming up to be released with love, not to be held onto, not to be engaged with, not to be intellectualised or processed, not to be energised, not to cause us suffering.  When we choose to no longer energise a pathway, we are recognising the trust, the strength and power that exists within our being, which is always present.  And most importantly it’s about recognising that we are a beacon of love.  When we can recognise the power of our love, and the love that is gifted to us and flows through us, we will recognise that anything is possible.  And, of course, what is also needed is a deeper connection with our soul.    

[This post goes out for you, Lorraine.  I see you, I hear you.  You are a being of love and love is at your core.  Always]

Your Story

Posted on by Amenet Drago

We all have a story. Some of us were born to live it and then to tell it. Some of us may never choose to share. But it’s there.

For some, it’s an anchor, defining us. Perhaps, limiting us, and yet, should we expand beyond it, it becomes a testament to our growth, our healing and fulfilment.

Don’t be your story, don’t get stuck there.

By telling your story, whether publicly or privately, you can free the energy, then move forward anew.

It has played a part in creating you, and yet, your truth is so far beyond it to make it irrelevant.

Allow your truth to find you and then look back at your unique journey and story with a knowing smile.

Knowing that’s not you anymore, knowing your story no longer defines you. Knowing how far you’ve come.

Lightbulb Moment

Posted on by Amenet Drago

I had one of those special moments yesterday, you know the ones, when something suddenly clicks into place at a new, deeper, more profound level and a lightbulb goes on.  And as is often the case, it was something I thought I already understood, but no, only intellectual understanding it seems.

Today, I just want to capture that learning, because, like a dream, these moments can so easily blow themselves away from our memory, even if they do count energetically.

I was doing something mundane, I had just read an interesting Facebook post and was mulling it over.  I remember, I was mumbling out loud, and then, suddenly, I said it. 

And, of course, it only happens when something inside us is ready to receive it.  So, it may or may not light your bulb, if I tell you what it was. 

I don’t remember what the post was now, that doesn’t seem important.  But I was thinking about the way we embrace the things that we find really difficult, like painful physical conditions, troubling thoughts and moods, challenging situations.  Well, I’ve been doing that when I can from time to time, with differing results, because sometimes, it’s not easy.

But in this special moment, I suddenly realised that if we open up our heart to that difficulty, literally love it completely, like it is our beloved child, and in realising this, I experienced a flood of love so deep that it was like a pure wave cascading over and through me.  If we do that, it is instantly dissolved.  What can possibly stand in the face of such love?

In that moment, it felt so natural and totally possible to do that.  Now, I’m not so sure, I can still see how easy it is to get caught up in one’s suffering so that we cannot separate it out from ourselves and then look it in the face with such utter, pure heartfelt love that it melts.  I guess I’m probably going to have this particular lightbulb moment a few more times before I totally embody it.   

But now I’ve remembered and captured the memory, I’m going to bring it to mind when I’m in those situations if I can and try it on for size.  You never know, it may just fit.

Your Magic Wand

Posted on by Amenet Drago

I am so excited today to share some wonderful information and understanding that came my way whilst the 8/8 and Lionsgate portal energy was streaming through the ether yesterday.

I opened an email that came through from Master Djwhal Khul, channelled by Natalie Glasson.

And this is Divine MAGIC!

Have you ever wished you had a magic wand to make all your problems go away?

What if I told you, you already have one?!  Sounds too good to be true, how often has something come by your radar and made your heart soar with hope, only to come crashing down when you realise the limitations of what you found?  I know, I’ve been there too.  There are no limitations this time, this is rock-solid gold.

So, what does your magic wand work for?  What does it do?

You know all those habits you really don’t want to be doing anymore because you know they don’t serve you, but you keep finding yourself doing them, nonetheless?  Well, it banishes those for a start.

All those thoughts that won’t go away, the ones that bring you down, make you second-guess yourself, limit yourself, all those repetitive, unwanted thoughts?  Gone!

Feelings that hit you, like sadness, loneliness, feelings that feel like a stab to your heart?  Never again.

All those situations that are no longer serving you, they are toast.  I know you’ve tried and tried to extricate yourself and even come to accept it’s not even possible, but now you can be free.

In fact, any situation that is causing you distress, any dissonance in your life at all.

Yep, you can believe it, you have a simple, fast and sure-fire way to freedom and PEACE!

Now, when you hear about this, I know you’re going to say, “Is that it?  Is that all?  Well, that won’t work!”  Believe me, the simplicity of it is a foil against its power and effectiveness.  Don’t be fooled.  Open your heart, try it, what have you got to lose?  Actually, you’ve got a lot to lose, all the stress, distress, chaos and worry in your life, for starters.  You don’t WANT to hold on to those now, do you?

Okay, this is what came through.  Before we were born, we each made an agreement, every single one of us.  We agreed that we would cultivate inner peace for ourselves and others.  And our soul, soul group and guides (we’ve all got a spiritual support team), they all agreed to send us a surge of inner peace every time we ask.  This is called our Inner Peace Agreement.

So, how does it work?  Simple!  The moment you notice dissonance, notice those pesky thoughts or feelings, notice you are focusing on a problem, redirect your attention towards your inner peace.  Just actively choose to focus on inner peace, easily and effortlessly.  Invoke the agreement, simply say, silently or aloud; “I am activating my Inner Peace Agreement” and you WILL receive support.

Then, just breathe it in, breathe inner peace into your being and breathe inner peace out.  If there’s a situation or problem, simply send your inner peace to that situation when you breathe out.  You will be amazed how peaceful you suddenly feel.  You will notice all those thoughts, feelings, issues and problems just drop away as you are bathed in such blissful peace.  And please understand, it’s not just escapism, every time you do this, you are dissolving the thoughts, feelings, patterns, behaviours, problems at source.  For good.  Just keep doing it.  It’s so easy, so simple, so quick to do and quick to act. 

And remember that agreement you made?  It was to bring yourself and others inner peace?  Well, every time you activate it for yourself, you automatically ARE bringing it to others too.  And if you know somebody who’s having problems, somebody you know could do with activating their inner peace, share this with them.  And if you don’t think they will be open to it, simply ask their soul, their soul group and their guides to activate inner peace for them. 

When you invite inner peace to flood through your body, you are allowing the divine source and the highest energies of enlightenment to course through your being.  Don’t engage with your stuff, don’t try to work things out, just breathe in and out your inner peace.  Magic!  Inner peace dissolves confusion and opens your intuition.  You will find solutions you had never before dreamed of to problems you thought were insurmountable.  And imagine what kind of a world we make when everyone is radiating their inner peace, for themselves and others, right alongside you. You can bet I’m with you, my sisters and brothers.

Stuff

Posted on by Amenet Drago

Stuff happens,

It’s just stuff.

But then we judge it….

Now, there’s good stuff and bad stuff,

And this is the bad stuff.

Now, it’s a problem,

Now, there are tears,

And life has become a fight.

It wasn’t stuff that changed,

It was the judgement we took to it.

You Are the Catalyst for Change

Posted on by Amenet Drago

Think of a situation in your life that is causing you difficulty, upheaval, pain, or stress.

Imagine if you approached the situation with the awareness that unconditional, eternal, limitless love exists within your being and that you can easily express, embody, and ground this love.

This means love would manifest through your actions, reactions, expressions, creations, and thoughts.

The way you communicate, both with yourself and with others, would alter and transform dramatically.

Try to imagine the unconditional, eternal, limitless love within your being at this moment.

Imagine, sense, or acknowledge that it is radiating outwards.

Then, think of the difficult situation, radiate this love to the difficult situation.

As you do so, observe your perspective, the way you perceive yourself and the situation.
Notice if it changes in any way.

The more love you send to the situation, the more it will transform within your being.

The difficult situation will transform within your being because it was created from an energy within your being.

Therefore, this will naturally be projected into your life, experienced by you in the coming hours, days, weeks, or months.

Imagine if you approach every single situation and experience from this space, you will begin to create a momentum.

You are the catalyst for change and the creation of love.

With a focus on the power of your love, you create a loving reality and a loving sense of being for yourself to experience every day.

Let Go. It’s As Simple As That

Posted on by Amenet Drago

Stop searching.

For anything.

For everything.

There’s nothing missing.

Nothing to find,

Nowhere to go,

Nothing to know

That won’t come to you

When you are ready.

Just stop.

It’s as simple as that.

Stop forcing.

The universe lets you know

What serves you,

In every moment.

Stop trying to make things happen

That aren’t meant for you right now.

Just stop.

It’s as simple as that.

Stop holding on.

To what no longer serves you.

If anything’s unneeded,

Let it go.

It’s as simple as that.

Maybe there’s something persisting,

Even though you wish to let it go.

Just let it go.

If it’s persisting

You’re energising it.

You’re holding on.

You’re saying “Go! Begone!”

And in the next moment,

“No! Please come back!”

You can simply let it go

When you choose to.

And when you choose

To no longer energise

That pathway,

That presence,

Then, you recognise the trust,

The strength and power

That exists within your being.

Which is always present.

You recognise that you are a beacon of love.

And once you recognise that,

Anything is possible.

So, let it go.

It’s as simple as that.

A Perfect Storm

Posted on by Amenet Drago

Do you ever feel that your life is like a storm? Chaotic, tempestuous, catastrophic, disordered, explosive turmoil? Maybe a person or situation in your life is causing this kind of disruption. Perhaps it’s something going on inside you, an eruption from within. It may be the odd moment of mayhem, it may be an all-out raging tornado, tearing your life apart.

What if I told you that even in the midst of the most violent and chaotic storm, everything is unfolding to perfection?  The perfection of what your soul is yearning for. 

Have you ever stood outside amidst a wild storm? Some of us actually go seeking such an experience. Talk about feeling alive, wow, it’s literally electric. Personally, I find it shamanic to experience every kind of weather and a storm, particularly, calls to me. The Wild Storm cannot be denied, it is right there in your face, slapping you. It demands to be experienced. It is a full-body, no-holds barred experience. It lets you know you are alive. You haven’t lived until you have danced in a storm, screamed with the howling wind, drank the lashing rain and relished the metallic taste of the air.

At the centre of the storm is absolute stillness.  From space, a storm moving over the Earth is the most beautiful thing to see.  The centre is as clear and calm as the most perfect summer’s day.  A storm is nature’s way of refreshing itself, cleansing and healing is occurring amidst all that damage and chaos and it’s the same for us.  And when the storm passes, everything is at its greenest, so fresh and cleansed and perfect, the air feels alive and uplifting. 

All too often, when our life is a storm we feel at a loss, we can feel like we’ve been forgotten by the supportive energies of the universe, abandoned.  We are never forgotten, we are never in the wrong place, we are always in our perfection.  It is not our purpose to have a perfect life if perfect means everything is always sunny and lovely and happy and contented and nothing ever goes wrong.  Sad can be perfect.  Anger can be perfect.  Chaos can be perfect.  Perfect is whatever we need, whatever teaches us and heals us, even though it may look like it’s ripping us apart.  Sometimes we need to be ripped apart in order to heal.  Perfect is what uproots our weeds, disrupts our complacency, kicks us up the bum when we need a good bum-kicking.  When the Wild Storm comes into your life, step out into it and howl, dance, cry, rage, scream, run, throw your head back and laugh.  Be the storm, live the storm and find the perfection of this gift. It is given to you because you matter, because you are loved by the universe, because you are worthy of being healed, taught, cleansed and uplifted. Because you are moving in the right direction. This storm is guiding you towards wholeness, towards unconditional love, and that’s a special kind of perfection.

Diving For The Light

Posted on by Amenet Drago

Like many others, I’ve had the kind of life where I lived in darkness a lot of the time.  A difficult childhood that felt lonely and full of fear.  An adulthood marked by dysfunction, trauma and wounding; from my childhood, the family legacy of generational abuse and probably trauma from past lives as well.  Such a lot to process and this is a part of the reason I didn’t have children, I knew deep down I needed to clear myself of all these burdens and their disruptive patterns so that I didn’t pass them on anymore and it took way longer than my child-bearing years to do it.  For the most part, I did good.  And I learnt how to dive for the light.

We usually say ‘reach for the light’, don’t we?  Reach for the stars.  Diving for the light is different, diving for the light means going down into the dark to get to the light.

Imagine you are treading water in a deep mountain lake in the middle of a moonless night.  The only way you have any sense of where you are is because the bottom half of your body is in water and the top part is in air.  Now, imagine taking a great, deep breath and diving down. 

There was a day when I nearly watched my husband drown. He was in the sea and there were others on the beach and in the sea. The tide was coming in and there was a sand bar. The sand bar made the waves bigger and rougher, they looked playful but what was not visible was the rip tide under the surface. My husband and a young girl became caught in the rip tide, they were desperately trying to swim to shore, touch their feet on the bottom, but as much as they tried, they didn’t move an inch. I watched and saw them both get tired. I screamed to him to grab the girl and swim out to sea, to break away from the rip tide, not fight against it, but he couldn’t hear me above the sound of the waves and the noise of people playing all around. Nobody else seemed to notice them, so I screamed louder at everybody around me, I screamed out and pointed that my husband and the girl were drowning, because they were. They were both rescued but not before they each accepted that their life was going to end there and then, they had nothing left to fight with. It hadn’t occurred to my husband to swim out to sea, it seemed completely contrary to common sense, he continued striving for the shore and was going to die trying to reach it.

Sometimes, we have to do the opposite to what our instinct says in order to find what we need to survive.  And that’s what it means to dive for the light.  We dive into the darkness because that is where light is born.  It means being able to accept the darkness, being able to love the darkness.  It means we don’t get upset with the hard days of pain or sadness, we embrace them.  We don’t feel like victims but like survivors.  We don’t feed our story of trauma but allow it to unfold.  We don’t hide our wounds but celebrate them. We don’t stay in the dark, because we know how to find the light in it.
