How are Obstacles Blessings in Disguise?
“Never try to change someone else for they are reflecting you, so look within and change yourself” — Diana Cooper
Almost every person and situation in your life is a mirror aspect of you (if not, then those people and situations are there for a lesson or because of a soul contract).
The external mirror is so honest and so accurate, but sometimes we don’t see it because we haven’t learned how to see the reflection or we have buried that side of ourselves.
So, I repeat, almost everything is a mirror of what we have going on inside of us.
What does this mean? This means that you can learn so much about yourself by looking at how people treat you, what triggers you, and how you react to situations. Our deepest subconscious thoughts will often pop up in reflections. Why? If they are hidden deep down in our subconscious and we aren’t aware of them, then the universe has to do something to get our attention. So why wouldn’t the universe get our attention by creating a reflective situation in an area of life that is important to us?! Right? Right!
When we look deep inside ourselves, we can then see that we had something brewing in our subconscious that we need to heal.
Did I say deep enough (lol)? It is important to remember that reflections aren’t always so obvious. Obstacles are in our lives to force us to look deeper so that we become more aware of ourselves!
Let me give some examples. This is what I help clients do and it works. Energy is moving so quickly that once we see the reflection, we can shift it.
I had a client come to me because her family had been shaming her and making her feel guilty about moving away from them for work. They were saying things like “you should be ashamed of yourself for leaving us for just a job”.
So I intuitively traced the reflection to her mental area of life. In another area of life she was shaming herself and feeling guilty. She was constantly beating herself up for being overweight. She didn’t realize she was doing it because she was taking all necessary actions to be healthy. She was eating everything nutritious, taking supplements, and exercising daily. Her actions were towards health, but everyday she was telling herself that she was such a loser for letting herself get that way. She was carrying an enormous amount of guilt and shame around her body.
So I asked her when she started gaining weight. She said that it started to happen around the time that she was looking for work. So I said, “that is when your family started shaming you isn’t it”. She said “yes”. I saw her eyes light up because she saw the connection between the two situations right away.
How her family was treating her was a reflection of how she was treating herself!
Once you find the reflection and shift your thoughts or actions around it, you can shift the situation that is driving you nuts!
I do this for myself on a regular basis. I look at the situation that is driving me nuts — lol. I intuit what area of life that I’m vibrational low in, and then I find the parallels and I shift it. More goes into the process, but once you learn it, it’s a game changer. Awareness is the first step though! The universe brings you reflective situations to help YOU HEAL! There are so many blessings in the obstacles! They are opportunities to heal what is going on in your INTERNAL WORLD!
