When emotions emerge to transcend the pain, they cannot be ignored. The intended process relies on the support of loving kindness and compassion towards oneself. Your hopes and dreams cannot flourish in an eternal state of perpetual panic.

You cannot move forward in your evolution, while clinging tightly to past pains in the present moment. How will you ever arrive at consciousness if you continuously deny your own internal wisdom? How will you ever learn to trust your body, if you refuse to acknowledge its voice? The mind works tirelessly to override these sensations, urging you to fear the thought of entertaining this internal communication system. The power behind the creases of your forehead. The tension which covers the area of your chest. While it situates itself ever so comfortably in every crevice of your being. The anguish your mind longs to relinquish. Allowing space for it to release the constriction of past pockets of trauma. To trust your heart requires the pursuit of trusting your body.

Here’s to preserving my energy for what serves me, and not feeling an ounce of regret.
#Embrace the journey how to#
In essence, I am learning how to acknowledge and trust my own ideas, opinions and desires before seeking guidance and validation from anyone else. I refuse to expel any of my precious energy attempting to win over or feel accepted by people who clearly don’t accept themselves. It also allows me to confidently set boundaries with people, places or situations with whom this upgraded version no longer aligns with. It feels incredibly empowering to release myself of the constant self-doubt, criticism and negativity. I now have the privilege of seeing myself in a new light, a fresh frame. This awareness lends a beautiful opportunity to amplify our resilience and learn to acknowledge the pain that others were unable to grant us when we most needed it. We are not our programming or conditioning. It can teach us that we are not our trauma. Grief in how I’ve treated myself for most of my life, in response to the dysfunction of those around me. More so, the internalized pain that I invoked onto myself in response. It’s tough knowing that your feels are valid, while also understanding that these people weren’t necessarily conscious of the pain they invoked on to you. But far beyond the traumas themselves, realizing how I internalized negative experiences brought on to myself by others (a sheer projection of their own unresolved feelings), sucks. Personally, I’ve experienced much grief, in recognizing the reality of the suffering I felt in circumstances beyond my control. As your perception begins to shift, you become conscious of blatant truths that were there all along…you simply were “below the veil of consciousness”, as one of my wise teachers, Lisa Romano would say.Īs complex emotions slowly swim to the surface, your body and mind can become trampled with uncomfortable insights and sensations…that is, if you choose to lean in and feel them. It is within the journey toward self-awareness that we are forced to reckon with past experiences we had wished away or even repressed. It is simply part of the process of awakening, and it isn’t always pretty. There is no pleasure without pain, and there’s been both. As we approach the middle of the year, I can’t help but giggle at how quickly the optimism I cultivated at the beginning was so quickly tested.
