Early hours of the morning musingsโฆ.
We are still very much in the energy of the full moon in cancer and in the depths of wintering.
We are being called to look at what emotional armouring do we cover ourselves with to protect ourselves?
We have to remember that the emotional armouring has been built up from many years of feeling unsafe.
When we feel unsafe the armouring protects us from showing our vulnerability, a mask if you will, a form of control when we were once in a place where we had no control.
It is in our vulnerability when we begin to dissolve the armour that we actually find our true self, our power, our strength.
With each layer we remove gently one by one, we find out who we really are.
Something or someone may have hurt us, or made us feel less then, we may be in grief, loss afraid to love again.
This moon energy and winter calls us to find that love within, to release the fears that bind us to the past versions of ourselves.
It doesnโt mean that we pretend our pains donโt exist it just means that we acknowledge our feelings our emotions. It calls us to become our own mother to bring unconditional love back to all those places that we have neglected, pushed aside, placed barriers up for protection.
When we start to remove the barriers, we find the freedom we have been seeking.
We stop projecting our hurts onto others as we become comfortable with our own shadows.
The path to self love is not an easy one but it is the most rewarding one. We must first acknowledge our own emotional armouring and begin to remove the layers so we can once more connect to our divine feminine energy of vulnerability and learn to trust again.
I have been on this pathway for many years at times it gets tiresome as layers come up at a deeper level. Yet I continue to break my armouring down, for I know to help others I need to help myself first. My passion has always been to be of service but I also am fully aware that I can not be of service to others if I am not tending to my own garden. Any emotional layers that have come up for me and some have recently too, it takes me on an even deeper level of knowing myself.
I refuse to allow others treatment of me in the past to bring my light down, I set healthy boundaries for myself, refuse to go into others dramas that are unhealed wounds that they may be projecting.
This is the pathway of self love honouring where we are at each and every day with loving presence for ourselves.
When we acknowledge our own shadows/wounds/fears/ armouring we will still see shadows in others but instead of projecting we can see through the eyes of compassionate for them but also for ourselves. If everybody tended to their own garden there would be no need to project any pains/hurts onto others. This is the true spiritual pathwayโฆ.self love, being honest with ourselves learning to trust our intuition bringing love back to all our hurts ๐
