I enjoyed reading this author's thoughts & experiences around emotional authenticity (or rather the conditioned and enforced LACK of) in our Western culture. Why do we feel that 'fake friendliness' is better than just being real? Have we become so uncomfortable or afraid of our humaness? 🤔

“How’s your day going?” can be a truly personal question. It’s banal chitchat if all is well, but if you’re going through immense trauma or crisis, it can feel invasive. Once, it might have been po…

The more we judge our journey and reject our 'imperfections', the less we have to learn. How interesting would we be, if our lives took a straight path, no challenges, twists or face-plants? Perfection is a pity...where can one grow or go from there? Resolve to be resilient, willing, courageous...with humour as your ally. We came here to be human, remember?😉

I like the way this author explains this; our reaction to people who irk us. In my approach we don't avoid or run from our triggers. Self-inquiry into why we feel a certain way, what is 'coming up' for us is valuable information, providing a powerful opportunity to develop our strongest, best self.

Everyone is a reflection. How we see and react to someone gives us insight into parts of ourselves we may be disowning; parts we would rather not face.

Sticking with this inquiry can reveal to us the 'weakest links in our chain'. It is possible to become rooted in ourselves, resilient and less rattled by others. Otherwise, the world becomes a landmine to tiptoe around, avoiding people and triggers, when really they are within us, just waiting to get ticked.

To heal into sovereignty, we need to take responsibility for our own triggers.

When toxic people are healers (medicine mistaken for poison) by Carrie | Mar 14, 2017 | Uncategorized | 2 comments   If you’ve spent any amount of time scrolling through the self-development sphere on social media, you’ve probably encountered memes instructing you to cut toxic people out of you...

Our fear of fear...and fear of feeling scary feelings is often bigger than the feelings or event itself. It helps to break time down into tinier moments (1 day, 1 hr, 1 min at a time until you're 'right here'). Touch your body...you are still in it, you are here, you are breathing and you are making it through. Trust that your body knows what to do in each moment. If you've made it this far, you will continue farther.

Ah, •°•this time of year•°• is the best time to have your resources planned, so when overwhelm happens, you know what to do! Be gentle with yourself. It's OK to opt out of activities that are just too overstimulating. We are all wired differently, and as a myself, I no longer suffer to prove my 'toughness'. Nurture your gifts & traits. You know best what you need 😉

Anyone can feel overwhelmed from too many demands and challenges, but creative and highly sensitive people may be especially vulnerable.

Dancer's Feet. Seeing the feet before the ballerina, some wince or cringe at the sight of such gnarled joints, callouses & scars. "What is wrong with her?" some ask with disdain. Hardly dainty. Yet, those feet are the jewels & tools of the Prima Ballerina, one of the most beautiful, powerful, expressive & moving beings of achievement. You cannot separate the beastly feet from the ballerina. They are the result of decades of practice, pain & triumph. If you smooth away the callouses, she will not be equipped for her craft. The dance will not be.

So, in emergence from our own 'fires of life', can we view our own gnarls & scars in a different light, one of compassion, appreciation or reverence? When we see in another, their rough spots & prickly parts, pause before we judge, knowing they came from a test we have not seen. And that above all of these scars lies a shinier part, a polished skill, softened heart or keen survivor who just might save our life one day?
See the whole being, for each of us is a Beauty & a Beast on our own journey.

We have to decide to never quit, no matter what.
We will fall. The triumph is in picking ourselves up to continue, again and again and again...

The design of life...

From the book "The Mastery of Love" by don Miguel Ruiz. Forgiveness is the key to healing the emotional body. This is the spiritual wisdom that must be put into practice for true transformation to occur.
Don't wait on magic, or test time or shop around for flashy therapies. This stuff activates miracles!
Be like the children in the passage below. As Ruiz says, "Take your pride and put it in the trash. You don't need it."
What a relief--that bag was heavy, anyways!

I'm quite sure a few who land here will relate to this! (I wish the video had been narrated in chipmunk voice, rather than robot, but it's still good 😉)

If you love a highly creative person, you probably experience moments when it seems like they live in a completely different world than you. Truth is, they d...
