For many of our past lives, we had repeated the same, negative pattern over and over. Always getting into codependent relationships, not having healthy boundaries, being taken advantage of and not speaking our truth, or maybe finding fault with everyone else but ourselves as a perpetual victim. 

But this is the lifetime when we break the patterns.

When we (along with those in our lives who agreed to play these roles) are met with similar challenges, we are given the option to make a different choice. 

And with our tools of quieting our minds and asking higher guidance for help (you have those tools right? If not, this Tools for the Awakening Soul book will help!), we pause and come at the situation from a new perspective. And if we don't know how to respond, we can ask for help - "Please help me learn from this experience..."

I have found myself asking that question in the past few weeks more and more.

And then I just watch my emotions and allow them to guide me, to hopefully be released as I break the pattern....
