Over the past nine months, my growth has come not in spurts, but in explosions, and my growing pains have not been gentle nudges, but knock-me-over blows. Interestingly, I don’t think I am unique in my experience. Today many of us are being asked to remember who we really are at quantum speeds in order for our world to evolve. However, our journeys are individual and what we learn along the way is dependent upon our own perspectives.

When I thought about how to capture in words nine months of learning and spiritual growth, the task seemed daunting. I have learned so much that I couldn’t imagine condensing it into a few paragraphs. But, I chose to reframe my thinking and look at it as an opportunity to encapsulate for myself and the reader, what took me hours, days, weeks, and months to figure out.

The number nine seems significant to me. Numerology sees the number nine as reflective of universal love. Similary, my nine month journey has been, for me, about dropping old patterns, old ways of being, in order to connect more with the power of universal love. I had to learn how to love myself, so that my connection with others could become stronger.

Here are the nine learnings that have found their way into my knowing over the past nine months. My hope is that one will resonate with you as well.

Learning #1
My physical body is a reflection of my spiritual and emotional body.

Learning #2
In order to move forward on my path, I have to embrace my past, understand its significance in my life today, and then set it free.

Learning #3
I have all of the answers to my questions inside of me.

Learning #4
Expressing emotion, shadow and light, is the key to peeling back the layers of my protective shell.

Learning #5
Forgiveness of myself and others leaves more room in my heart for love.

Learning #6
Surrendering doesn’t equal weakness. Surrendering equals trust in myself and the universe.

Learning #7
Accepting the present moment, no matter what type of package it comes in, leads me to a state of peace.

Learning #8
When I soften my heart, my heart expands exponentially.

Learning #9
Through my most difficult journeys, I arrive at the end a more connected, more compassionate, and more wise being.

My hope is that as you read this, you will think about the past nine months of your own life and spiritual growth. What nine new understandings do you have about yourself and your world? Happy growing!
