One of the most limiting stories I’ve ever told myself is that “they can’t handle it”.
They can’t handle what I really want to share with the world. They can’t handle my authenticity, they can’t handle my light. They can’t handle who I truly know myself to be.
Who were ‘they’ you may ask? Parents, friends, peers, the woman I was in a relationship with back then, and even the audience I was starting to build at my early beginnings.
These stories were loud during a pivotal time of transition in my life.
I was working on reinventing myself and I was stuck between the death of an older identity and the birth of a new one.
One of the hardest parts of the journey of reinventing yourself, is that your fears can cause you to be stuck between the death of an old identity and the birth of a new one… like a lost soul wandering in the eternal void.
Is it a story that sounds familiar?
What was truly happening is that these thoughts were an echo from wounds I hadn't resolved yet.
It was a shadow projection. The truth is that I couldn't handle it.
I couldn't handle the possibility of facing more alienation, criticism or being seen as insane… again. I knew these feelings really well.
Growing up my mom often related to me as the rogue son. If a rule didn’t make sense to me, I wouldn’t follow it. It caused me to go through quite a bit of pain growing up. So it felt like the stereotype was following me and that I couldn’t shake it. I have learned how to embrace that trait.
The liberation I wanted back then has demanded a descension into the shadow.
I had to reclaim my liberation at the altar of my fears.
I had to learn how to disrupt the rationalizations I used as crutches to justify hiding.
I had to learn how to stop being possessed by survival archetypes that were instructing me to disown my brightness.
That pivotal period was the initiation that allowed me to embrace my work in the way I am doing today, and to become someone I respect.
One of the best gifts you'll offer to yourself, is to do everything you can to become someone you respect.
The earth is ready for your light
If you haven’t noticed, we are navigating times where the collective consciousness is asking for more transparency. The earth demands more transparency. We are demanding that from systems, from leaders, from corporations and from anyone in position of authority.
What causes transparency: light.
Without light, it’s all opaque. Without light, it’s hard to distinguish between something that is benevolent and something that has harmful intention.
What does that mean at a personal level… The earth is not just ready for your light, she is demanding it.
I’ve said it many times, but it is becoming incrementally harder to repress your light, than it is to repress you deepest pain.
Supporting you through that journey of revelation, is why I created my 6-week immersion SEEN.
SEEN is more than it sounds. It not about ‘pushing’ you to drop the masks. It’s about helping you to reconcile with the part of you that has been holding the masks as a protection mechanism. SEEN is about integration. It’s about recalibration. It’s about helping you emerge from the void of transitions.
SEEN is a descension into the shadow so that we can lift the anchors that keep you unconsciously in hiding.
SEEN is a return to your most inherent blueprint. It’s an initiation to help you build the somatic body and spiritual stamina needed to embody your truest nature.
I’ll be taking you through a well designed journey to support you in getting unleashed in a way that honors your own templates.
Please head over HERE for more details and to save your seat for this immersion.
The journey begins next week. And if this even remotely resonated with you, I trust that it will be the expansion you need.
In gratitude and reverence,
