It is hard to stay your course...
There is what is termed 'The Little Death' within shamanic lore.
It comes from an understanding that we die again and again to what we no longer need in life and yes it feels exactly like a death, a great sadness, a great loss is happening from within.
It is the natural death of some outmoded concept or way of viewing things that no longer serves.
One can feel as if they are going through a type of psychic death so that the old story can be dislodged from the psyche.
It feels deeply uncomfortable and can literally bring you to your knees.
However, these 'Little Deaths' are important transitions in the life of someone who walks the conscious path.
One can learn so much during these rites of passage.
Do not try to fight, avoid or hurry these deepening times, however painful they feel.
Merge with the feeling of release, open your heart to letting go of what no longer serves and allow the process.
Keep close to nature, merge with inner nourishment (Sanctuary and kin), and let yourself release in whatever way feels safe.
There is natural magic in this transition.
