April 24th Circle
This is an incredible journey of self worth, self care and self love. We have been taught to look outside of ourselves for worthiness, acceptance, validation and what success supposedly looks like. We truly can only feel those things in any lasting capacity from within us. We may temporarily feel satisfied by outside circumstances, consumerism, food, relationships, substances, but to truly be fulfilled, to know it well, can only come from within us. Inside each and everyone one of us we hold everything we could possibly ever long for.
Crumpled up in my tiny cardboard box l feel safe in my existence.
Am l existing? l know no difference.
The walls are beginning to fall, uh oh, you might see me, l think l will stay hidden a little longer.
Stretching out is feeling good, unfamiliar, is that my own movement for the very first time.
Feeling my heart, l have had it buried under all l thought l was, what l was told l should be and blanketed in my fears.
I think l can stand and maybe even stretch, I'm coming out of my box, l no longer fit in.
What is this freedom l was never shown or encouraged to become.
Free to be me, no longer defined by anything outside of me, standing naked, unencumbered, dancing in the wind.
We receive the love we think we deserve, previous experiences shape and mould us, we believe what we have been told and we take in what we see, we pass along so much ancestrally. As we become more aware and move deeper into self care we can make changes, really creating the life we desire. The more we love ourselves we surround our being with people, places and things that nourish our mind, body and soul, we become the love we want to see.
Unwrap me carefully l am yours to bare, such sweet, sweet songs l am longing to share.
Your very own note, from the choirs above, gently carried down on the wings of a dove.
A childlike innocence we are asked to explore, l will leave you breathless longing for more.
I am still, yet beating, tender yet bold, a delicate balance for you to withhold.
My arms are wide open, inviting you in, l will guide you and lead you to where you have been.
We will forever continue to grow, l will never ever leave you, for we are always in flow.
I see in others what l feel within myself. My vision and perception of the world is deeply influenced by my state of mind. When l am grateful and at peace my heart is full, it is overflowing, my views and thoughts of the world and others become softer. If l am no longer in that space it is a call to look inside me, what has triggered me? Where do l have room to grow? What can l release? What is the gift in this? Absolutely everything is a invitation of love.
I often wonder how you hold that much light inside, how you so wonderfully wear that disguise.
I see you bursting through your seams, your divinity exploding and creating light beams.
I feel your vibration and it rocks me to my core, we are dancing in resonance and so much more.
I see your eternal light and it brings me to my knees, l am so deeply grateful for the freedom you have gifted me.
