Welcoming the Aquarian Age.

By Kathleen Leppek

It’s a new age and as the Piscean energies fade, the Aquarian energies begin to flourish, the question one can ask themselves is, if one could, would one willingly let go of the past, keeping the wisdom gained and letting loose the pain that isn’t necessary to hold onto anymore? Can we let go of self-judgement and reassess our experience so we are no longer restricted by those judgements and move to a freedom that brings out our best without any limits?

Gain clarity and neutralize the power of the past. This can be done through self-reflection, with the willingness to empathetically listen, to the duality of thoughts within oneself.  Duality on the earth plane includes every experience comes with a positive and negative. One can discover both in a situation and move to a neutral and healthy balance when each side is acknowledged within oneself. Resolve extreme thoughts by accepting the other side and finding the middle, which means life is okay and everybody as well as everything has pros and cons. Sometimes the “Thinker” within will need to rise up and declare a neutral decision to end the parade of shame, guilt, anger, blame, pity and the many emotions that contribute to an outdated ideology of judgement within. Put the balanced thought into action by setting up positive expressions to compensate for the negative. The easiest way for me to find this space is by accepting life as a learning experience. Pain can be used to motivate and restrict. Can pain be transmuted for motivation to resolution, meaning, and purpose? After the hard work of clarity and neutralizing the past, I must move forward to a more positive expression of ease and flow with integrated balance.

I recently learned to accept another’s point of view. That doesn’t seem too difficult; we all do that every day, but this someone was a family member who was pushing opinions at me. I learned that the severe judgement from a family member over a minor action, caused me a lot of pain. The lessons I learned about the experience were immense. When it came down to it, I realized that another’s idealized values were very different than mine. Along with that it is acceptable for me to let go of my cherished belief of the importance of family member bonds. I will now move forward with tolerance, patience, and open mindedness along with no cherished ideals of familyhood. I’ll free that space for the family member to grow as they choose, as well, I will free space for me with no expectations on another. I also learned the value of having a clean statement. Many a person hooks others with statements that are disguised as a joke or and are actually an irritation or judgement against another. Playing with grievances as an adult child does nothing to resolve an issue. I’m choosing to take responsibility and if another doesn’t, that is their choice and I can work with that.

Common sense respect means we have different values, morals, cultures, race, and religion. Can one let someone have an opinion or action without imposing domination? Others don’t get to dictate my experience, steal my energy, or negate my beingness with judgement. I can stand and release unbalanced energy of judgement on both sides of the situation and only allow in balanced energy that is healthy. I can accept where one is, as what is right for them by granting compassion to blossom within my heart for myself and others. One cannot choose for another nor put their morals upon another. For truly, one’s will-to-good only works when it comes from one’s own heart, not from another telling one what is right. Certainly, human interaction is asking for a new sense of order that negotiates without harm and I’m hoping we find and establish that.

Part of welcoming in the new age may lead one to reshape life with consideration of the tools of experience gained and a letting go of assumptions and judgements that have created a psychological block. This disconnect can actually restrict one as a body, thinker, and soul. Accept one’s dynamic evolving beingness with openness to new perspectives and future potentials. Welcome the fresh you into the new age by recognizing all of who you are, the good and not so good, and come to a sense of balance that allows oneself to be free of judgement, self-imposed rejection, and self-imposed restriction. Gain clarity; neutralize the power the past has had over one’s freedom and allow your once inhibited soul to assist you forward with peace of mind, peace in the heart, and a flourishing life.
