Rising Through Change
How to Navigate Change - Rising Through Change
Hello beautiful souls, welcome back!
We are back with another discussion about rising consciousness and how to rise through change.
If you are unfamiliar with the term rising consciousness, you might want to check out our blog post, What is Rising Consciousness! (https://www.taraantler.com/single-post/what-is-rising-consciousness)
People often ask, how is rising consciousness possible when it feels like everything in your life is falling apart?
Is it possible to cultivate rising consciousness during changes and difficult times?
The answer: yes!
Many of our clients communicate to us that they want to feel abundant, they want to feel happy, but they feel stuck in a situation. Maybe they lost a loved one or their job.
When tough situations come up in life, it’s normal to feel a drop in consciousness. It might feel like the sky is falling, but it’s actually a drop in consciousness.
So, how do you cultivate a state of higher consciousness when everything feels like it’s falling apart?
The first step is to recognize that change is natural.
Trees grow and then as they age they eventually break down and fall over.
Even buildings will last 100 or 200 years, but eventually, they will erode and change.
Everything in this world is subject to change. Change is a natural part of life.
It is the most certain thing in this life—change is inevitable.
That shouldn't come as a surprise to you.
We expect everything to remain the same in an ever-changing world. This expectation sets us up for a drop in consciousness when things inevitably shift.
We prefer things to stay as they are. If things remain unchanged, we enjoy that certainty. Once things begin to shift and become uncertain, fear begins to show up.
Fear of the unknown and uncertainty of life causes discomfort.
When we are comfortable, we tend to avoid change.
For example, our daughter Aria says, Mommy, I don’t want to get older. I want to stay exactly like this.
She wants to stay in this state where she is held and cuddled. She sees how her brothers are changing before her. She recognizes the difference and has developed a preference. She wants to stay like this because she is unsure of what is yet to come.
This is true of us as adults. We are unsure of the future.
Maybe some of you are psychic or psychically tuned in, and you might get a little head start. You might get a glimpse of the future. But we can never fully know 100% what is in store for us.
…
Another scenario is people actually want to change because they feel stuck in their current situation.
They think, get me the hell out of here, I don't like this, I don't want this, but I'm not sure how to make it change.
In this situation, the ego-self is afraid to change. It has become comfortable in the uncomfortable. It reminds me of the saying, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
The ego-self finds comfort in the predictable.
What you have right now, you are accustomed to. You know what you are going to get.
Once you shift into the unknown, fear starts to seep in.
Many people dislike change, even if they are changing a bad situation. They are not sure if the change will bring something worse.
Fear of the unknown causes people to resist change. But what might be uncertain and scary to the ego can be exciting for the higher self or the rising consciousness. The higher self knows there is growth in change.
I realized, with each stage in life, I can find little treasures that I love. If I limit myself to staying in one era, I miss out on all the other tiny treasures.
With raising children, each stage of their growth brings its own unique experiences, and sometimes you want to hold on to those moments, hoping they will never end. But the problem with that is that you miss out on so many more beautiful moments and transformations.
If we try to hold on without allowing that natural progression, transformation, and change to occur—we miss out on advancement.
Change is an opportunity for growth.
If you want to view change as a loss, you can, but it is more fun to see it as an opportunity for growth and transformation.
...
Change doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.
If we reframe how we think about change, we can start thinking of it as this incredible opportunity.
This is something I practice.
Now, I really thrive in change. I love change. If things become too constant, I start getting a little batty.
Having kids allows us to experience daily change. Our business allows daily change, spiritual partnerships allow daily change, walking the path of evolving our consciousness allows daily change.
We are open to every moment of the day, so it has actually become something we enjoy.
Not to say, we don’t experience moments we want to hold on to, or that change never creates a feeling of discomfort.
For instance, I love summer. I thrive during summer. When the leaves begin to change, I want to hold on to summer because I know once the leaves change and fall away, the trees will be bare, and the winter will settle in.
When I see the leaves begin to die, my mind jumps to the future, taking away the enjoyment and beauty of the moment.
Each season has its own unique beauty and transformation. If we are too focused on what’s to come, we miss out on the beauty of the current moment or season of life.
Change is inevitable, but we can stay present in each moment and enjoy the transformative beauty.
By worrying about what’s to come, we lose the opportunity to see the beauty that’s right in front of us. We miss the growth, the transition, the transformation that is happening within us and around us.
The coolest thing is if you are willing to let go and allow things to fall away without expectation or fear. You might be pleasantly surprised by what is around the corner.
I've been pleasantly surprised by this November. It's been beautiful. Just yesterday, for instance, the sunlight shining on all the trees. It was one precious moment, I would say, one of those moments that you wouldn't want to miss. The light reflecting from those trees was silver, creating a brilliant white light down the path.
You wouldn't see that in the fall time. And I wouldn't see that in the summer either, because the forest is full of green leaves.
So this is the beauty of change. We can accept that change is happening and just embrace it. You get to see all these things that you would have never even seen that are beautiful, as well, and be pleasantly surprised.

Rising Consciousness and Adapting Through the Change of Heartbreak
We have clients come to us when their relationships are falling apart.
For them, it might seem like the most horrific, painful thing ever at that moment.
But on the other side of the situation, they can reflect and feel gratitude for having gone through that time and see it as something that provided a space for growth.
Sometimes a relationship ending creates space for beautiful things to occur like travel, freedom, creativity, finding a new partner who is better suited.
That change brought you to the next level of your life.
The beauty of these experiences is learning about yourself. You discover what you truly love, you get to focus that love on different areas, and you uncover what you love about life itself.
Your relationship with life becomes more intimate.
These things really matter to us in the long haul, and we don't see it that way when we're in the breakup because all you could see is the uncertainty and the pain of losing someone.

Big Changes in the World
A lot of change is happening on the planet right now.
People are freaking out as things fall apart. Systems are failing, jobs are crumbling, the way we connect is shifting.
We are in a state of hyper-growth.
By hyper change we mean, everything is changing. Every aspect of your life is going through a massive overhaul. But here’s the thing, massive change leads to growth.
Massive growth is a beautiful thing because it can completely transform your life into something far better than you ever thought to imagine.
So, when you’re experiencing this hyper change, feel it in your heart.
Remind yourself that despite the fear, there is beauty on the other side of this.
It reminds me of childbirth.
Giving birth might be a very uncomfortable, gruesome, challenging process. But something incredible is on the other side of the challenge. That’s how I walked myself through childbirth and through the most challenging times of uncertainty in my life.
Developing Your Intuition
Developing intuition is something we take time to do without clients in our free Facebook group every Tuesday:
Developing your intuition is a powerful way to find clarity within.
Finding clarity through your intuition can be very helpful because once you become clear on something, you increase your ability to devote more energy to that thing.
You might start with hope. Hoping that something will come to fruition, but once you have clarity, you know that it will come to you, and you can take inspired action.
Like planting a seed, you plant it in the darkness of the soil.
Most people think, okay, that seed is dead and buried. But it has to deal with the elements, it has to deal with that pressure, it has to deal with whatever falls on it and everything.
But eventually, the seed will sprout, and through darkness through whatever it has to push through, it will rise up.
It might have a rock in the way or something and move around it. But then it pops up, and it comes up, and it becomes the magnificent tree.
So in a sense, yes, that dark, heavy time that is the challenge feels like the end of the world. And it is the end of the world for the seed because the seed is no longer needed. It has served its purpose, but then the beautiful tree comes of it.
That is us. We become that beautiful three tree by moving through our challenges by moving through the obstacles.
If you are going through a challenging time and you have yet to develop your intuition. Maybe you are missing that seed of hope that things will be beautiful on the other side.
We invite you to join our Thrive Facebook group because you're going to get lots of goodness there that'll help tweak that and elevate that for you.
You can choose to move through change gracefully or kicking and screaming.
You’ll thank yourself if you look at change as something beautiful and transformative instead of something painful and terrible.
When change happens in our lives, for the most part, it means that something is falling away, whether it be relationships, work, or worldly things.
Letting it go can be the most powerful gift you can give yourself.
Change moves you into a space capable of expressing higher versions of yourself.
Just knowing that within means that every time change occurs, you will look at it as an opportunity to grow and express a higher version of yourself.
So naturally, you begin to wonder what change is next. You’ll start to look forward to changing because it means something wonderful and transformative is about to happen.
Change is a beautiful opportunity to grow and transform.
That mindset shift is crucial to navigating any change in your life.
If you have a transformational story, we’d love to hear it. (comment below or share it in the Facebook group)?
We’d love to have you join the Facebook group: I Rise & Thrive — a group for spiritual-explorers and conscious peeps who want to thrive, live with a higher purpose, and experience MASSIVE joy, abundance, and pure fulfillment on this planet...NOW!
In Love and Appreciation, Tara and King Gabriel
