Building An Unshakable Foundation

Copyright 2009 Fia Crandall

Is there something shaking your foundation in your life right now?

Does life seem to be forcing major changes all around you?

When this happens it can make us feel fear, insecurity and sometimes even shock.

We so often feel secure in our lives when the outer situations make us feel secure. But that security is an illusion as many of you have come to find out. We feel comforted by our "rocks", our home, our relationships, our job, our financial situation. But what happens when one of those rocks starts shifting or disappears altogether? All of those "rocks" can not give you a true and unshakable foundation. Why do you think it is so hard on us when any of those rocks changes?

In the last couple of years many of my old, steady "rocks" have disappeared. I know what it's like, when this happens it can feel like we lost our foundation. It can be unsettling and scary.

Have you been experiencing your old "rocks" shifting or disappearing?

What if you could feel stable and secure no matter what was going on in your life?

What if you had new rocks? What if your foundation looked a bit different? What if it was an "energetic rock" that could never really be destroyed or fall away?

An unshakable foundation can only be found and created within. An unshakable foundation must have you and Spirit at it's core. Anything else can not give you unshakable security.

Open to having a new foundation. Imagine your foundation was built up with trust in the Universe, self-love, self-acceptance, belief in yourself, honouring of yourself, truth, freedom, and joy. And what if that were your foundation regardless of what the outer situation in your life is like?

And if you find yourself in a major transition right now, can you open to seeing that you still have a foundation regardless of what is happening around you?

Sometimes outer situations have to change. Sometimes relationships have to end. Sometimes you must leave a job or be laid off. Sometimes you must leave a home you love.

But if your foundation is rooted in trust in the Universe and belief in yourself you can see that whatever is happening in your life is for your highest good.

Highest good? Even when it feels as scary and emotional as this?

Yes. If something is leaving your life, take a moment to imagine why. I've come to see this "highest good" concept is not just the Universe deciding your fate in a way you may not like. It is the highest parts of who you are, guiding your life. Sometimes we will hold onto things that no longer serve us. Sometimes we can deny our true desires, holding onto what is out of false security and comfort.

But your Higher Self will cause things that no longer serve you to leave your life if you don't do it yourself.

Out of love.

Highest good means the best possible outcome. Not some imposed fate. It is the best possible outcome.

As our personality selves, we can't always see the big picture. We can't see how good life can be so we make the best out of what we have. This is good in some ways but can hold us back tremendously in some cases.

Open to seeing your higher foundation. Look at the trust you already feel, in life, in yourself. Bring up your inner knowing that everything is always working out, even when we can't see how at the time. Bring up your knowing that the Universe is friendly and lovingly guiding you even in the scariest of times.

Let that be your foundation. Build your foundation from within, I bet it's already partially built. Embrace it, strengthen it in whatever way you can. Let the foundation of your life be trust, truth and light. And when things are really being stirred up in your life you can rest in the true comfort of this foundation.
