Hello innocent one, dreamer of a better tomorrow and a pleasant today, sacred one, afraid to step into your presence. What are you allowing into your space? Can you feel the joy and sorrow, the love and hate, the connections broken and drifting away, the frozen trees bending in the wind, reaching deep into the window of our souls, plugging in to provide us fuel? Where are you going? Why are you wandering, sweet and lost soul? Oh, sweet spirit, sweet being of light, why do you suffer? Why do you allow fear and ego to penetrate your essence? Take my hand, let go into my arms, my nourishing embrace, and let me show you all of you. Don’t be afraid, you will see, you are true beauty.
How is it that an amazing being of light is dropped into submission, avoiding a true and deep connection with self and others and suppressing truth and wisdom for fear of conflict, pain and suffering, rejection, hate, and punishment? Where did we forget our truth? How can we help ourselves step back into our power in a peaceful and conscious way to live fully in awareness, connecting with our genuine existence?
I see many individuals who suffer in fear, who are in a frozen state in various aspects of their lives, not able to move. This stagnant energy is being shattered by the universal consciousness as it no longer resonates with truth, making it that much more challenging to be present. I have such deep sadness when I see the physical side of a vibrant, beautiful, and powerful being hide in fear, shrink in energy and barely whisper what they might desire, not able to make eye contact.
The truth is, we keep ourselves prisoner behind solid steel, behind the darkness of which we are afraid, behind the doubts and fears and guilt and shame. But we have the keys, the power, and the permission to break free, to open our eyes to the deepness within and to bring our gifts and wisdom into the world, this one unique lifetime, to inspire and enable existing and new creations that allow a thriving universe. This is our right as it is our choice.
Like all things new, it requires action and fearless pursuit, gentle and persistent practice, to step into a place that may be foreign, where we’ve not been before or for a very long time. But it is time, time to step into our truth, to open our hearts and souls fully to ourselves and others, to let go of the fear that has kept us prisoner for so long. Please know you are not alone, there are many and we are ready, graduating from being a passenger to taking the reins and seniority of our lives.
This is something each of us must choose to do and take the steps toward. We can guide and help each other, but it is essentially up to each one of us to bravely step into our true role, consistently and with persistence. You will know what to do, trust yourself. Here are some steps that may be helpful, but know that you are the one who holds the wisdom and the keys to the solutions that will propel you to know your truth:
- Set an Intention (some examples below – create your own):
- I am ready to take responsibility and seniority on my path
- I am ready to open my heart and soul fully and to step into my power and truth
- Higher Self, please help guide me into a place of peaceful power and strength so that I may step into my truth and bring wisdom and gifts to enable a thriving universe.
- Meditate Daily
- Find time each day (5 minutes up to 1 hour) to meditate and focus your heart and soul on connecting with your truth and power.
- Set the intent to do so and just sit quietly. Don’t worry about what you think it should look, feel, or be like. Just take this time daily.
- Don’t judge the time. 5 minutes can be just as powerful as 1 hour. Give yourself permission to be where you are, but practice daily!
- Identify your power and your truth.
- Speak it to yourself or a friend
- Write it down in a letter to yourself
- Create a vision board of what your truth and power look like
- Take Action.
- Each week, find a place where you are not in your power or truth and vow to step into your power and truth in this place.
- Let people know you are working on being in your truth and power in an authentic way.
- Do something physical that promotes this, such as speaking it to a friend or loved one or posting it on a social media site. Be gentle with yourself.
- Enjoy the process and find light amusement along the way.
Many blessings on your path!
