Shelley’s note: I have heard from so many of you who seem to be in the in-between phase where you are feeling done with where you have been but don’t quite know where you are going. It is common to experience the pregnant pause when you have completed one timeline and haven’t yet shifted onto a new one yet. You have gone through these phases before and they do come to an end, just like you eventually land at your destination even if it has felt like a particularly long flight. If there’s one thing we can be sure of, it is that our expansion is a constant. Message 189 from my book, Healing Balm for the Enlightening Soul addresses the pregnant pause, so I thought I would share it as today’s daily message.

A lot of enlightening human beings are experiencing the pregnant pause. You have finished up, to a great extent, the life you have lived up to this point, but have not yet seen where your new life will be taking you. This can be an uncomfortable feeling, as many will experience a great urge to do something but cannot quite put their finger on what it is they should be doing.

It is so important to use this “hurry up and wait” period as an opportunity to rest and keep your clarity about what you would like to create. Rest assured that the time for movement will come before you know it, and the best thing to do in the meantime is to keep your balance and gratitude, and dream big about what you would like your next grand adventure to be.

Dear Ones, if you understand gratitude is sending love to the universe, and that love is the greatest expander and magnifier of all, you can see why gratitude is a powerful manifestation tool. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young

There is a tendency in human beings to make declarations that they will never do something again if they have tried something and it hasn’t worked out. You do this in your desire to take back control in an area where you are feeling powerless. What you may not realize is such declarations can be detrimental to you.

Dear Ones, you are beings of flow, and your abundance and expansion is dependant upon you embracing that flow. Simply put, control slows your flow. Such vows are usually fear based which is a very constrictive energy. They can also keep you energetically tethered to what you do not want through your focus, which is always your blessing of continuation.

You do not need to make grand sweeping declarations in your life because the energies are forever changing and your empowerment comes from making decisions one now moment at a time. Deciding to be present and to make each choice based on the energy you are in at any given time will feel much better to you and will keep you moving forward with openness and acceptance while operating from your latest level of mastery. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
