Your best self knows your deepest calling, it reminds you of what you’ve long forgotten and who you really are.
Our best credential is our willingness to learn and connect. If you wish, take off the pressure of being an “interesting person”. Instead, become more interested, open and curious.
When conflicts are heightened in recent times, angered and scarred, people are lonely and depleted. We stumble and wobble – it can be a real struggle to stay present with the raw emotions, let alone becoming a real help.
It may feel that whatever we do is too insignificant.
However, please know that every time you are interested in the person right in front of you or one screen away, when you are not rushing to conclusions but give space to hear their story, when you see the world through their heart, you are contributing to wholeness.
When anxiety, timidity or despair become the collective habitual patterns, it’s important to calm our emotional body and lift our Spirit, individually and collaboratively.
The more of us who gather the scattered spirit, the more collective memories will be transformed into the nutrients which are required to heal our human realm.
So that we can revive from stagnancy, restore the rhythm of our nervous system and transform the trauma-muddled memories.
As difficult experiences turn into wisdom at the individual level, the hard-won lessons are then illuminating the collective consciousness to entice the divine light to be reborn.
Our best self is always present, just that the journey itself is not a straight line.
Your best self is always calling: calling you to rise up and grow, to curl up and heal, to explore and transform, to guide and inspire.
It reminds you of what you have long forgotten and who you really are.
Have you ever felt this way? When we let go of rigid expectations, when the ancient part of us emerges from our cellular level, when our inner-voice prevails and whispers, we can hardly resist to bring forth new life.
It’s not always easy or pretty. Sometimes, it means to fight your fight, say goodbye to unfit relationships, walk away from that abusive situation. Other times, it asks you for a whole hearted YES to a creative risk…
If you want a quick reminder, here is a 60 second one. Lasting changes often start from showing up with wholeness.
I have opened more spots for Intuitive Soul Sessions, if you are looking for 1:1 help.
Contrary to common belief, staying truthful to who you are and becoming your best Self does not mean that you must be perfect, or transcend your ego completely. Let’s save that for fantasy.
Instead, what we are aiming for here is accuracy and self-compassion. Whenever in doubt, explore the following questions:
:: What genuinely lights you up?
:: How comfortable are you sitting with your raw emotion without judging it?
:: In what ways can you accept yourself better? All of you, both light and shadow.
:: What can you do today to take care of your basic needs so that your ego is relatively balanced? That you are part of the solution not the problem?
Living authentically means to return to the innocence of your true Self. Here, you are no longer caught up with or frightened by either “failure” or “success”.
This is where power, potency, peace and passion all come in and work together.
Stay well,
