I've been utilizing FB Marketplace to sell furniture etc. as we prepare to downsize and sell our Wells Maine home. The other day a young couple came for item pickup. She had the most beautiful waist-length hair, and I was moved to tell her so (surely she already knew this, right)!?!
Surprisingly she replied "oh, thank you for saying so. I cut it myself and have been feeling VERY self-conscious about how it looks." She pulled a hidden section from beneath the long straight bulk at the back of her neck. It was shorter, darker, with a bit of a wavy texture.
"Your hair is gorgeous," I repeated.
Later, as I was relaxing one of my favorite quotes from RUMI resounded in my head ~ "The wound is the place the light enters you!"
A message unfolded and I reached back to her to share the Rumi quote (which she had heard before but never really seen how to apply it IRL):
Here is a feature (in her case her hair) that to all others is seen as beauty, but in our own eyes is ugly. We can shift to paying attention to what we are being self-conscious about because that is our own SELF showing us where we can ultimately add the most love and light, rather than self loathing/self abuse.
Other times, these things we think everyone is looking at is ultimately our own SELF asking for Healing Love and Light, from ourselves to ourselves for ourselves through ourselves.
Starting in that moment of awareness, she can use these hairs as a way to create more self love, even providing more nurturing and "mothering" to them . Ultimately these hairs will help her not only accept but also love without condition her human imperfections.
"The wound is the place the light enters you!" โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐๐ฉท
Were we not flawed, where would the light enter? Your body is your vessel, a sacred vehicle for your journey on this Earth.
Become more aware of how you judge yourSELF ... then employ this message to reassess your Divine Perfection! Where can you release learned programming that you need to be less or more? As a child I was often told I was "too sensitive". This was not Truth; in the last two decades The Universe has shown me that my sensitivities are integral in the gifts God tasked me to share here in this lifetime.
Find and live your TRUTHs in unconditional self-love. If you need support seeing your hidden, shadowy or blind spots, I have LIGHT xo Kristi
