"It’s the silence before the world reflects anything back."
I love this silence! That is the approval. For me, its the ultimate approval. The most perfect sign that I have touched them to the core. Nothing to do. Just feel. The invisible connection which is present - always.
I just pulled all of my posts bc I feel like I jumped the gun thinking I was more ready than I actually am. Even after nearly 4 years from the start of my spiritual awakening I still feel like I’m putting the pieces back together. Somatically I feel like my body isn’t ready given that I’m still going through dnots.🫠 Maybe I’m wrong about my readiness and just running out of fear. Might need to meditate on this.🙏🏼
I totally get it, I’m about 4 years in on sitting with all the fragmented pieces & it feels literally impossible to “promote” myself or perform in any kind of way. I held a workshop 5 years ago and my “promo” video was me literally saying “wow this is harder than I thought. I see you people who are able to do this, you are so brave.” Allow yourself to be exactly who and how you are right now as you share those posts. Allow yourself to receive crickets. Allow yourself to receive praise if it comes. Allow yourself to relax into your truth of why you want to share it in the first place 🙏
Thank you, Bree💕 I actually posted about 13 articles not thinking anyone would read them, but more people did than I expected. I was met with some harsh criticism by a few people which deterred me. I wasn’t ready for that. Spiritual communities are ironically not as accepting as one might think. They’re more competitive than expected, people trying to outdo one another a lot, and also pretty judgenental. I feel like not many people are willing to tolerate or guide others in a loving way. The process of growing while expressing oneself out in the open can be messy. Often I’ve found not many people are willing to support you in your growth mess. I hope people prove me wrong and that I can find the confidence to post again since I love writing, but I’m not going to force myself before my body and mind can better handle the criticism. I mean, we usually feel like that when we believe what they say about us. I’ve got some reflecting to do🙃
I totally feel you, I really am not prepared in my body for criticism! I’m still doing the hide and/or buffer thing- for who? I’m not really sure 😂 once before posting, my partner sat me down & was like name 5 people you’re afraid will criticize you after you share this & dive into that fire. The #1 person on my list called me the next day & was like we should start a podcast together since we think so differently! That shocked the heck out of me. I truly do believe we are moving out of the paradigm of the spiritual community with all of its false realities & into a loving nurturing place to be received by a multitude of perspectives. I’m wishing that for you!! And for me! And for all of us kind hearts that long to share freely 🙏
What your partner said👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 How cool about your friend too! You should do the podcast😍 If you do be sure to share the link☺️
I ended up writing and posting pretty much right after I posted that comment😂 I realized after posting my comment that I was the one criticizing myself by believing the critics!
I have found a few people who are really supportive, but not really ones who have different viewpoints which I’d love to see in my circle too. Like likes like, but why can’t like like different?😁 Let’s shift the paradigm!💪🏼💜

If I share my truth they may abandon me. But if I don’t, I abandon myself.
