Many of us want to further our impact in the world and we put self-care on the back burner. In recent conversations with clients, I had to emphasize that their well-being needs to come first for them to have the impact they desire.
When we want to raise our games, we need to learn new skills and upgrade our mindsets. When we reorganize our energy fields, we allow the impulse of our future selves to help us make new choices that align with our goals.
When our energy flows without obstruction, our awareness expands. We start seeing the lies we have been telling ourselves. When we break the spell, we form a new identity causing us to think, prioritize and process life in new ways.
For those who take pride in being strong, they begin to see the gifts of being vulnerable. For someone who lives for others’ attention or approval, they find the power and freedom in being themselves without the need for validation.
A woman wanted clarity around the future of her work. She mentioned that her excess weight was for grounding and protection. An intuitive also told her that she needed the extra weight because she carries so much light.
Being a gifted healer who had been “doing it on her own,” it was hard for her to get help. Our time together opened her to accept help in various ways. Within a week, she started losing the weight that she had been holding onto for years.
Many of us take pride in being independent. I have seen many who apply the idea of independence in ways that prolong suffering. We tell ourselves why we don’t need help, why we can’t get help, or why they can’t help us.
The biggest identity shift for me has been dissolving a sense of separation between me and the divine. By overidentifying myself with my humanity, I had blocked myself from receiving my divine gifts and sharing them with others.
A key teaching from my Ayurvedic training was: disease begins when we forget our true nature as spirit. After being in the holistic field for over 15 years, I can see how suffering begins when we forget our true nature as spirit.
Many of us are more ready to identify with our pain, struggle, and karma than identifying with our divinity. We might even feel subservient to god. Even the ideas of calling on spirit, channeling or praying can be misleading and create a sense of separation from the divine.
Owning our divinity is not egoistic. Everyone has divine qualities in them. The more we see and own the divinity in ourselves, the easier it is to see the god in everyone.
To become acquainted with the divine in us, we need to drop our attention from the head to the body so that we can be in touch with the divine presence. That divine connection feels intimate, tender and loving. It is present all the time!
When we learn to regularly tap into that loving presence, we know how to have healthy boundaries without blocking people out. We cultivate reverence for all of life, including those we despise—certain people, insects and rodents.
On our journeys, we can keep healing ourselves with a backdrop of feeling broken, wounded, or not enough. That is a longer route. When we learn to tap into a higher version of ourselves, the healing process accelerates.
I recently had the opportunity to guide a community to tap into their higher visions. It was a profound cleansing that opened them to reunify with the divine in forms that resonated with them. I can’t think of a better gift than that.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity helped me heal my identity in relationship to time and space limitations. The more we own the divine presence in us, the greater impact we have on the world without needing to sacrifice our well-being.
In the spirit of honoring the divine presence within, I am facilitating the monthly meditation this Friday. If you are new to this offer, sign up using this link to join us live and receive the replay – Honor the Sacred Within.
With Love,
I help clients regain vitality,
transcend limitations, and
own their divine presence.
