I have a personal addiction to “ah ha” moments. They are the key to how much I have transformed disease, unhappiness, and disembodiment in my own life. They are the voice of your sleeping self, awakening you into a deep truth of your own life path. They light the way to accepting your whole self.
No one can give you an “ah ha” moment. It has to come for you, through you. It arises from your soul.
Let me tell you a story.
You walk down the same street every day and turn right to get to where you need to go. There are no other turns for you to take. You take the one you need to get to where you know you are going to go.
After a while you start to feel how the right turn you are making doesn’t really make sense to get you where you are going. You take it because you know the way and, as far as you can tell, it literally is the only way.
One day you trip and fall on the road. You get mad, perhaps, or sad. In the midst of the emotion you think a series of negative thoughts about your life, yourself, and the road.
Nothing changes.
Every time you walk past the spot where you fell, you think about everything all together - the fall itself, your desire to find a new way to go, your hopelessness that there isn’t one, your negative thoughts about life as a result. All of these thoughts circle through until they become part of who you are. They follow you everywhere you go.
One day, you are walking along the road and you trip without actually falling down. It scares you. Fear rushes through your system. Hmmm. You’ve never felt fear before. You remember how hard it was to get up and keep going the last time you fell. You feel your wish for an easier path, a solution to the road you keep taking. Defeat and desire swirl inside you.
Suddenly out of nowhere this thought pops up. It’s a random thought that is meant only for you. It makes no sense. It tells you a truth about how you have been viewing the road or your journey. Something about the feeling of fear opened you up and you completely relax, cry a bit, accept life, remember the moment…
And look around. There is a road you’ve never noticed before. You take it. Lo and behold it’s what you have been wanting.
Every time you walk there’s a chance to go the old way or the new way. Every time you pick the new way, you notice something new or experience something just a little bit differently. You travel with a sense of choice.
In this story, what changed everything? The “ah ha” moment. This is the moment of truth and surrender.
An “ah ha” moment is the most healing revelation you can possibly have.
When you have an “ah ha” moment, everything inside you shifts its orientation just enough for you to feel completely different in any situation.
“Ah ha” moments come from an alignment of wound and surrender. They represent a connection with a complete lack of ego. Often an “ah ha” moments opens us to a simple fact or choice that changes everything in one revelation. With the change, we then see openings in life that will literally change everything. The “ah ha” ends an aspect of our current cycle of suffering.
You cannot ask for or actively seek an “ah ha” moment. The elusive nature is part of its essence. The more aligned you are with your truth and soul connection, the easier it is to have an “ah ha” moment come to you. Right now blocking an inner voice that wants you to heal, change in the deepest way, and become your truest self.
The voice of an “ah ha” moment is one of the deepest compassion for all of who you are, all of who you choose to be, and all of who you can be. This is the voice that sees everything, demands nothing, and understands exactly what you need to open next to heal your self.
I have experimented lately with using the word revelation instead of “ah ha” moment. Unfortunately I find that it doesn’t quite fit the moment I am speaking of. An “ah ha” moment is not coming from the voice of god or spirit. It is not a voice of higher self or even core self. The voice of the “ah ha” needs its own name because it is completely unique.
An “ah ha” moment does not happen without inner work, soul deep intention for healing, and self awareness. An “ah ha” moment arises when we align two powerful aspects of self - effortless intent and wounded self. It is impossible to meet the “ah ha” voice with anything but surrender. This is a voice not everyone will ever hear in their lifetime. The true “ah ha” moment is found when alignment happens in the desire to heal the human soul.
Some facts about “ah ha” moments:
They cannot be forced or sought.
They come to you, you do not try to make them happen.
They need to be quiet and personal.
They open you to a deeper truth you have never thought before.
They land in an embodied way as a sort of click or relaxation or surrender.
They are followed by an emotional release.
You retain a sense of choice in whether or not to put them into action.
They pivot your life in an unforgettable way.
When an “ah ha” moment happens there is an uncontrollable, immediate response to it in the body. The body reflexively relaxes and connects after the thought goes through it. It is a sensation as well as a thought.
My work recently has been an attempt to help more people reach this state of self acceptance and choice in expression. I am passionate about healing people’s souls. The world needs more light. The world is desperate for more connected love. “Ah ha” moments are the moments that truly create change in how we reside with our soul. Our soul expands as we allow ourselves to accept and be with the pain of separation and the light of our own being.
If you are reading my work, I know that you are ready to do the work of soul healing. Be honest. Get out of your own way. Feel your body and your pain. The “ah ha” moment comes with surrender to your truest self and all you can be. We need you.
100%!!! I love my ahas! Each aha a fork in the road.
