Energy of Transformation
April 14th, 2008 by Ana Scherer
I understand many of you are not Jewish, however the message of the coming holiday of Passover is truly universal and I know you will like to hear about it. Passover is when we celebrate the liberation of the Jewish people from the tyranny of the pharaoh in Egypt. Moses led us out of Egypt and into the land we know today as Israel. While we remember this time, we experienced both slavery and freedom, a story that is ancient and modern.
The parallel I want to shed light on is the one of being a slave to things and people and forgetting about our integrity and our mission. Sometimes, we get so caught up in achieving things, pleasing people, and becoming addicted to a destructive behavior, that, without realizing it, we become slaves of these patterns and get distracted from our true path.
Every year, we Jews remind ourselves of this journey from Egypt to the Promised Land and re-examine our lives. It’s a powerful time filled with the energy of transformation. We are given a window in time whereby change is within reach if we truly shed light on the things that makes us slaves.
I want to invite ALL OF YOU (that’s the universality of it - it’s not just for the Jews!) to take this powerful energy and use it to illuminate your lives during the holiday - April 19th until April 26th. Take time to look inside and acknowledge the things that are making you a slave. It could be an addiction you want to let go, a relationship without the proper boundaries, a behavior you want to change… Anything that you feel binds you and makes you do things that are distracting you away from the path of integrity. You have this whole week to think about it and the next to begin the changes! The energy of transformation in within reach! Go for it!
With energy,
Ana
