​Letting Go of Sacrifice

Sacrifice is another big one and I can already feel some of you getting triggered.  Maybe you will think something like this - well, Elke, sacrifice is necessary in our society, without sacrifice our society couldn’t function.

We have to sacrifice for our country, our families, for others that are not as lucky or smart or handy as we are or whatever the case may be. And you would assume that generally without people sacrificing their time, their money or even their health the world would certainly be much worse off.

From an old paradigm view, this is absolutely accurate. As everyone and everything is seen as separate, flawed and is judged to be a certain way, sacrifice in the old paradigm seems normal and sometimes even necessary.

It comes from a place of one against another, be it individually, certain groups and ethnics or even countries. It comes from a place of lack and from a place of seeing everyone and everything as less than perfect. It also comes from a place of wanting to put a label, definition, and norm on everyone and everything.

We have to put up with obligations, expectations, and rules that by the very nature of them force us to sacrifice at least part of our lives. Even if that just means having a 9 to 5 job we don’t like to be able to ‘survive’ in our society.

What if all of the above is not true and doesn’t apply to the new energy, the new paradigm. What if all of the above was made up by the mind and all these perceptions above that have created the perceived reality and society we are now living in and that is changing so rapidly?

What if everyone and everything is perfect just as it is and as they are?

What if instead of going into sacrifice and sacrificing ourselves we shift our perception into guiding and empowering?

Sacrifice is when you do things out of obligation because someone is giving their power away to you from a place of perceived weakness or inability to do something, or from a place of perceived duty to a cause or even country.

Empowering and guiding comes from a place of being there when others are ready to step up and accept their own power and their own magnificence.

All of us are divine beings with the same abilities plus each of us has their own unique ability to bring to this planet and all of us are already perfect, we have just forgotten about it.

We chose to play on this planet to arise from these perceived imperfections and all the mind games and to step into the embodiment of our divinity and our true selves.

Coming from this place, in the new energy/the new paradigm everything becomes a choice, something you are doing with your heart, without any obligations and without sacrificing.

If you choose to become a parent then you know full well that you are in this until the little one is ready to step into their own. You do this because it makes your heart sing to have the opportunity to guide and empower another divine being (not because everyone else has kids too and it is normal or because you want to have a little version of yourself) and show them the ropes on how life on this planet works. You and the little one are joyfully walking side by side, enjoying this part of your life’s journey together.

You know full well what you have signed up for and that this is something you wanted to experience during this lifetime on this planet. You let the little one be who they are, guiding them so they know how everything works and how to navigate on this planet.

At the same time, you never forget who YOU are, giving yourself the time and the freedom to enjoy your life to the fullest without forgetting about them. If necessary, making arrangements to make that happen. This way the little one is always embraced, loved and cared for and you are too.

Every job or endeavor, every task you do is done from a place of doing it from your heart, from a place of true enjoyment, true camaraderie, and true connection. You do it because it makes your heart sing, not because you have to make a living to be able to pay the bills and/or provide for your family.

This is the reason why every one of us has different things we enjoy and are good at. I know people that love to cook, some love to clean, some just shine when they bake, some could immerse themselves in numbers for hours and hours without end and the list goes on and on.

In the new paradigm, the new energy, you follow your heart and your inner guidance, following your passion and the universe always provides for you.

No sacrifice necessary, no giving up part of yourself and your truth to fit into someone else’s box.

Just true enjoyment, expression, equality and walking side by side.

Isn’t it time that we stop sacrificing and start empowering ourselves and others?
