Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Rose.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Sarah. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
As an entrepreneur, up until my early 30’s I used to let work demands, fears, limited beliefs, health restrictions and perceived shortcomings unconsciously rule my life.
My self-healing attempt began with cleansing and purifying on the physical level that yielded marginal results. I became obsessed with being healthy and trying to maintain physical wellness while making little to zero progress. I was the “healthiest sick person I knew!” I looked around at other people that did half of what I did and seemed fine. I would think constantly, why was I so fucked up? What the hell was I missing?
Then fast forward six years, I began a conscious collaboration with my Higher Self that allowed me to slowly begin to heal from the Type A, stress-fueled, worrying, work-a-holic, ego-dominant, highly defensive, sick, perfectionist I had become. I began the softening process of becoming unguarded and vulnerable, and set off on the long but necessary journey of healing myself holistically-body, mind, emotion, energy and spirit!
A bit of my journey:
It took me awhile to tune inward and say, enough! I knew something had to change for a long time… but didn’t know what or how.
Like everyone, I’ve had my fair share of life challenges to overcome. My hand that was dealt goes something like this…
I grew up broke for the most part, with no healthy relationship to money, in a divorced family where my siblings and I bounced back and forth between parents. My father was an abusive alcoholic, blending dysfunction, fear and instability as a common theme during my earlier childhood years. Needless to say, I had some trust issues and my defensive mechanism was to protect myself by hardening and throwing up walls around my heart.
In early adulthood, I spent the better part of a six-year period in a constant state of ‘fight or flight’. I found myself habitually drawn to stress, worry and anxiety and started to suffer physically as a result. I often felt insecure, constantly comparing myself to others and allowing my ego to direct my willpower, motives and belief system. My ego and knee-jerk reactions were running the show! My core beliefs were that the world was competitive and unsafe, and I had to fight hard to get ahead, believing in a world of lack, scarcity and that, good things come only if I could PROVE my worthiness through blood, sweat and tears!
I attracted relationships with guys that were unwilling to commit or emotionally unavailable, as these relationships helped “keep me safe” by not having to commit and risk being hurt or betrayed all over again, like when I was little.
I had a hard shell and lacked heart-centered vulnerability. I remember people everywhere would tell me, “smile” as if I was to be bubbly and happy for them on command. And that just pissed me off more. Sorta like telling an angry woman to calm down, lol. Super effective, right?
I felt weighed down, burned out, restricted, limited and at times hopeless. Knowing I was destined for So. Much. More!
During this six-year period, I made myself sick emotionally and physically. I experienced financial hardship, the real estate crash, a start-up business collapse, ongoing underemployment, mounting debt, foreclosure, bankruptcy, the death of a friend, ongoing stress-related health issues such as IBS, candida, leaky gut, 28+ food allergies, SIBO, hormone imbalance, adrenal fatigue, exhaustion, until a case of pneumonia landed me in the ER. During this time I also experienced the devastating death of my father to cancer, whom btw I had not yet forgiven. This spiraling of events came in quick succession, proving now to be “the perfect storm” that cracked me wide open. In my early thirties, I got a crash course in all the biggies- health, money, relationships, security, and death.
When enough became enough, I made a BOLD decision that shifted everything. I was desperate for answers, knowing that there had to be more to life than dealing with one anxiety-ridden mess after another.
One night before bed I got this insatiable urge out of the blue to start meditating. I began to go inward for answers, praying for what I needed to do to truly heal and that night my first answer came to me in a crystal clear synchronistic dream.
As I sat in meditation once again with clear intentions, taking the divine guidance I just received, I found myself with an over-pouring of emotions and energy spontaneously flowing from my body. As I sat there with tears streaming down my face, I began to feel lighter. A shift occurred and I knew I was cleansing.
Several weeks later, I prayed for my next steps. Answers came to me upon waking the next morning as a gentle, clear and concise voice in my outer ear. I later learned this was an external clairaudient (clear hearing) experience and I was receiving messages from Spirit.
By October of 2013, I realized I was in the midst of a spiritual awakening and experienced heightened intuitive abilities such as increased intuition, energy awareness, precognition, clairaudience (clear hearing), clairsentience (clear feeling) and claircognizance (clear knowing). As I began to integrate the healing principles, I realized I was receiving a self-healing spiritual prescription straight from Source!
After my initial awakening, but before I really put the new incoming wisdom into practice, I was spending thousands of Dollars on supplements, naturopath visits, acupuncture, Reiki, massages, yoga, colon cleanses, hypnosis, and clean organic foods… all while seeing only marginal results.
You see gorgeous, I was dependent on something outside of myself to help me heal, becoming desperate again to free my body of health issues. The cycle was ongoing and maintaining wellness was a constant battle. My habitual patterns (samskaras in Sanskrit) were repeating and I realized there were no quick fixes or shortcuts. I had to do the inner work. There was no way around it, only through it. I found myself dealing with the same dramas and traumas until I finally committed to the journey inward, to do the soul work that no one else could do for me. I had to heal my shit on an emotional, mental and energetic level to have any real breakthrough physically.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Here’s what I know to be true… you are energy and everything is connected. Your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and perceptions affect every cell in your body and your body affects your emotional, mental and energetic state. Everything is connected. Everything is energy. Everything is spiritual.
The truth I came to realize is that the trials and tribulations I encountered are simply part of the conscious spiritual path. They are not setbacks. Living a “spiritual” lifestyle is not sipping green juices and stepping onto your yoga mat every day. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies either. The conscious spiritual path is a courageous up close and personal experience of every fear, limited belief and false pattern of success that plays out over and over again until you break the karmic cycle.
I look back now and can say I’m grateful for growing up broke, for having a dysfunctional childhood, for the financial blow-back of my late twenties, the poor investments, the collapsed start-up business, the sleepless nights of anxiety worried about debt, bills and living paycheck-to-paycheck, the shitty relationships, the mornings waking to the pitted knot in my stomach, for the six years of ongoing health issues, thousands in naturopath bills and for having the father I did have. I’m grateful for it all!! That’s not just something I say because it sounds good, I feel it at my core! Not because, I would choose it if given the option (even though I believe I did choose it on a Soul level) but because now I live with the conscious awareness that everything…EVERYTHING… has been lining up for me from day one, co-created by me, to guide, heal and support me on my own path of self-realization and life purpose.
You’re not broken darling, you’re just an evolving spiritual being in the process of becoming!
I know that we all have an inner healer and access to spiritual guidance. A teacher at my core, it is my duty to hold space for you to awaken to this fact. That is it. The rest will take care of itself. We all have intuitive wisdom that is just waiting to be heard, whispering in our ear, but we have to be silent and aware enough to hear it. And if we go long enough without truly hearing the call of our own soul, I believe our bodies, minds, energy, drive and passion for life pay the price.
Which brings me here, now, with you. With you reading my words. I consider myself so blessed at a young age to have learned through experience some of life’s most valuable lessons and to be able to share what I’ve learned with you in a practical way so you can avoid the years of struggle and instead transform with grace and awareness.
