Air Balloon

Imagine this.

Imagine someone told you: every time you change timelines in life (you become a new version of yourself), you have to step into an air balloon and fly to your new (temporary) destination (timeline) and you are able to bring with you whoever and whatever you want. The only thing is, you are restricted to bring only a certain amount of “total weight.”

So, picture this. For each timeline, you have to walk the road towards the air balloon, from the beginning point to the final point (where your new air balloon awaits) and while doing this, you have to make sure you are becoming as light as possible. This journey, though, is filled with the good and bad experiences of your current timeline. And each experience in life is being represented and transformed into a simple “suitcase.” This can be pictured as a real heavy weighted suitcase (bad experiences) or a balloon that looks like a suitcase (good experiences). This means that bad and painful experiences are creating heavy weighted looking suitcases and good experiences are high-flying balloon (attached to the air balloon, so they wouldn’t fly away) looking suitcases.

Do you get the picture?

Whenever you walk your road from beginning to end (from the drop-off of the old air balloon to this new air balloon), you are asked a few questions before you elevate.

Who would you like to bring with you to this new timeline?

What would you like to hold onto?

What would you like to let go of?

There is only room for a certain amount of people in your air balloon basket. But the air balloon has ropes hanging over on each side, which are for the people who may not have made it into the basket, but are willing to put in that lil bit of extra work and strength, to make themselves lighter (read: heal themselves) and climb their way up with you too.

Besides only being able to take a certain amount of people with you, depending on the weight they hold... you also are restricted to a certain amount of weight for your suitcases, as too much weight will weigh the air balloon down and will make you stay where you are. 

So yes, you are able to bring as many suitcases (experiences) as you want, as long as you are aware of the weight they hold. Thankfully, all good experiences have become memories which didn’t weigh a thing, as they are simply high-flying balloons that look like suitcases (blessings) in the air. There is no limit on the number of good memories you can bring along.

Yet, the bad experiences are heavy. And the only way you are able to change the heaviness of these suitcases into a “suitcase balloon” is through self-healing and turning the heavy weighted suitcases into a lighter experience (lesson) so it can transform into a balloon too. As soon as the healing is activated and fulfilled, your heavy suitcase has become a balloon suitcase. But, if your heavy loaded suitcases stay untouched, you are restricted and limited to their weight, and you won’t be able to take off and fly to your higher timeline any longer.

However, if you aren’t able to turn your heavy suitcases into balloon suitcases, another option is cutting the heavy suitcases off your big air balloon, as all suitcases are attached to the air balloon together with a rope. This means that the moment you cut off this suitcase, aka this experience, you release and let go of it all. So, imagine, before each new take-off, you are handed scissors in case your weight is still too heavy for the flight, and you are given the option to cut off the suitcases that weigh you down, so you can finally start your elevation up. 

In other words, right before you rise, you are given the chance to cut off all the weight that no longer serves you.

I believe, in life, you can rise to a new timeline and leave the current one at any moment in time, but not until you’re the right version of yourself, not until you do the work and have become the version you need to be to elevate to a newer, lighter, higher, more healed version of yourself, which makes you quantum leap into your newest timeline. So basically, this is not until the air balloon is the right weight it needs to be, to be able to rise and fly high.

This story is simply a visual example to picture in your mind. The story of the air balloon is a metaphor I made up myself. But I believe it will help you picture more easily what and who your priorities are in life when your intentions are to continue rising while healing with (self)-love and light so you can become the highest version of yourself.

Each version of you is able to rise to an even higher version of yourself, but unfortunately, as I have experienced, you cannot bring everything and everyone with you, as much as you want to, as each new timeline is giving you new eye-goggles (more awareness) and new requirements. Who and what you’re able to bring along simply depends on the weight they hold in your life.

Or even better said: how much are your levels of consciousness aligned and connected?

Are they elevating you, rising with you, to lighten your life up, help you rise higher, inspiring you, expanding you, making you feel free-er, more peaceful or lovelier? And, are they easy to hold the wind with, which you both hold together? Are you simply going with the flow, together? If the answer is yes, then life will automatically lift you up together without even trying. It’s like all the (suitcase) balloons that are attached to the air balloon… you simply rise together while elevating in the same direction.

But,

what if the experience is weighing you down and this experience or person isn’t able to heal or turn these bad experiences into a lesson and instead it all becomes a heavy weight attached to you? You have some choices to make.

Yes, you can still bring it or them along in your basket, but will your air balloon basket still be able to fly as high with this weight? Will you be able to go as high as you are meant to go? Maybe you are able to heal this heavy experience and turn this suitcase into a “balloon suitcase”… ’cause you might be able to work through the lesson so it can become a lighter memory…

What about realizing you need to learn from this specific experience so you don’t need many more similar looking suitcase experiences attached to you any longer? Do you think you will be able to let go of the (bad) experiences you no longer identify with, therefore you’re willing to cut the suitcase off entirely?

No matter if you are in the middle of your current timeline, you just arrived or are ready to jump to the next one, I think these questions above are a great way to review your current situation while looking at all the current suitcases you are dragging, carrying and holding along your journey. Are you able to express who, what or why your suitcase balloons are attached to your current air balloon? Are you able to see who currently is in your basket? Are you able to see the difference between who lights you up and who weighs you down? Are you able to picture which suitcase experiences you would like to cut off to make yourself feel lighter and free?

The questions are never ending. And, I believe, by visualizing your personal air balloon, it will create a clearer picture to help you understand your current situation and choices better.

I have noticed that the more my frequency goes up, the lighter I feel. This also shows me that, as much as I believed all my life I am an extrovert, I’m noticing I am becoming more and more an introvert, as I no longer can just recharge from all and everyone around me.

(Being an extrovert means you are able to recharge your energy from others. Being an introvert means you are able to recharge your energy from within.)

The lighter my surroundings feel to me (or the more in tune and aligned I am with it/them), the easier it is for me to embrace the extrovert in me. Yet, the heavier my surroundings are and feel to me, the more I turn into an introvert. There is nothing wrong with being an extrovert or introvert or being able to move from one to another at all times. It’s just something interesting to pay attention to, as noticing when and where your needs change, or your soul starts swinging between intro- or extro-vert, holds a lot of wisdom. 

Your soul carries within you a wisdom that can only be gained by the soul’s history or personal growth within your journey of life (while walking through the school of life). By remembering, tapping into or speaking this wisdom and unique tone of your true self, you don’t only learn to heal and continue to uplift yourself, but also all those who are connected and in contact with you are starting to vibe within a similar healing energy and frequency as you. (And if no-one is around you, you will start attracting similar souls with the same frequency to you.)

Through listening to your soul’s needs, tuning in to your own personal frequency (and the weight it holds within), the more knowledge you hold to understand which personal experiences or people are weighing you down and which memories and people are lifting you up.

If you want to jump timelines, it’s important to make yourself and your environment (your personal air balloon) as light and as filled with pure (self)-love as possible.

I hope this metaphor will help you create a clearer look into what is lifting you up in life and what is weighing you down.

May you keep rising, keep elevating, keep uplifting your life, your circle, your connections and yourself.

I will see you in the next air balloon.
