Oracle decks, books, courses, coaching packages are all great guidance tools and support systems but your spiritual path is ultimately between you and Source.
Questions I ask myself:
Are the tools and systems you’re engaging with in alignment with you having your own power and truth? When you’re supporting others are you holding space for them to step into their true nature?
The answer almost always comes to:
Remembering your heart of hearts is key to unfolding the life you’re here to live.
That answer came from years of being more in my head than my heart. I thought I knew so much about “living my best life”, and I did on some level, but then the time came where I was actually moving through what I thought I already had in the past. The experiences I’d heard people talk about (like fear of fully feeling grief because it might never end) but not really understood, I was now growing through for myself.
Learning to relax into how growth keeps growing in whatever direction it’s being nurtured was eye opening. My struggle patterning started to unwind as I more consciously chose what to nurture, let go of the idea of a perfect final destination, and opened to transformation as an ever spinning spiral of freedom through my entire channel.
I’ve come to remember that my spirit is always free even as I dive deep embracing that it’s not always sunny and clear.
Many people don’t want to talk or even hear about things like grief, anger, and fear. That’s ok, because, for a long time, I didn’t want to either, and I still don’t always want to (especially if someone is coming from a holier than thou stance).
I can be really good at gratitude lists and being happy anywhere until I realize that sometimes I am wearing happiness as a mask to bypass what’s really not ok in my life.
When I admit to myself what needs to change, truth builds like a storm. Distant and grey with an ominous wind at first until it breaks into a hurricane saying hurry up … now is the time … whether you like it or not. It is in the depths of the storm that I truly find my neutral eye and open heart in the center.
I also find that I don’t actually know what “high winds” mean until I embark on the journey for myself. Though they help a ton, no weather app, book, or spiritual teacher can quite prepare me for the waves that are overwhelming yet freeing. Isn’t life great? ????
Redefining Greatness and Having it All.
Greatness is not heroic, blind optimism or being 100% happy and perfect all of the time. When I tell someone “I’m great” it means I’ve been riding the waves living the full depths of life. Having it all means all is well through the highs, lows, and everything in between. What is not ok is faced, called out, and resolved within me.
Some song lyrics by Brandi Carlile and Jenn Grinels come to mind… “You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you’re standing in the eye.” and “I am always on the run. Running towards and never from.” Diving deeper and setting spirit free by embracing the full spectrum of life is kinda like that.
Wild blessings,
