What Happens When We Withhold
And the opportunity to raise the stakes
I was speaking with someone yesterday about the fact that he’s been withholding his intuition and knowing with his clients. The impact on him has been a loss of joy and the impact on his clients has been a result that has left him disheartened.
But of course. Who we give ourselves permission to be will be mirrored back to us in the reality we experience. Just like the theory of quantum entanglement, such that the state of one particle instantaneously influences the state of another, even if they are separated by vast distances, we are exactly that.
If we withhold, the the fullness of the result will also be withheld.
I’m writing this article because some of us who are being invited to no longer withhold. Life experience has qualified us with a wisdom and knowing that is not to be dishonoured with timidity. In fact even if that withhold only equated to 5% of non self-expression, that 5% holds a gravitas that could mean a spectacular result for the person, project, vision and mission we are in service to, or an underwhelming, disappointing, meaningless result. The health of our self-expression is the health of us all.
As I was pondering this I could feel a particular energy relating to the impetus to speak this wisdom and knowing. Is it because we’ve ‘earned’ the right? Yes, but that’s not it. As I stayed with the energy I saw the impetus, once again, as I’ve written about before, that it’s in fact a ‘privilege’ to express what we have come to know over the course of our life. And it’s actually a ‘humbling’ experience, not borne from pride, but from the honouring of our knowing, holding it like precious treasure not to be wasted through silence and reservation.
This is what I have come to know about not withholding even if it feels uncomfortable to do so.
It is an empowering experience for all. Instead of seeing the other as incapable of receiving that knowing, we are holding them in their highest vision, as well as holding ourselves to our own highest standard of leadership.
Their response is not our responsibility. Whilst we have intention that our knowing will be well received, our only responsibility is to be in the fullness of our leadership.
It builds much greater trust, connection and love right from the get go. That sets the experience up for the possibility of the highest outcome, radical transformation and results even beyond our own expectations.
This is about a shift in identity for all, and a really important one. We get to meet a version of ourselves we’ve not met before and thus give that same opportunity to the person, project, vision and mission we’re in service to.
There is no loss of elegance in sharing boldly. In fact elegance is further demonstrated through the bold honouring of our wisdom, intuition and knowing.
We are the vessels. Seeing ourselves as the vessels through which that information wants to be shared may give us permission to more easily share.
If this article was written for you, may you be the recipient of your own active experience of quantum entanglement with the messaging of this writing.
