Cleansing & Reflecting

All this cleansing has me in a reflective place. Thinking about how I've lived my life. The choices I've made. The people I've loved and what has brought meaning into my life. It's been a wonderfully sweet and gentle space. That isn't always the case with self-reflection. I'm grateful for the grace.

The first thing that comes to me as I look around is that I've filled my life with beauty. Everywhere I look in my home I see things that have meaning. I've been taught that each object I carry with me has energy and I have a relationship with that energy, they are my friends. That's why I don't own alot, but what I do own I love and care for and has meaning to me. The hands that have made these things, or gifted them to me. I'm surrounded by love.

I've known for a long time that healers are chosen by their community. One may feel called to this service but it's not up to the individual but instead appointed by those that ask for the gifts that person carries. I'm mentioning this because almost all of the tools I use in my work with people were gifted to me. People would feel an intuitive call saying "I'm not sure why, but this is for you" and I would receive the gift maybe not even knowing how to use it or what it's significance would be. This to me is another expression of love and beauty. It fills me with joy to care for these objects of power.

I'm also thinking about the relationships in my life. My life is so sweet. Quiet, calm, void of drama (except for what I create all by myself) and these connections are real and deep. They have strength, I can rely on them.

And then there is my spiritual family and those I connect within classes, workshops, private sessions and in other meaningful ways. Free Spirits Yoga has been a blessing beyond words. A powerhouse of space for true inner exploring to be done. Birthing it and caring for it always nourishes me. And then there is Radiance Yoga and the embrace that community has offered. When I take the time to truly reflect on all that I've been gifted, it's humbling.

I must also mention JVG here. I don't talk much at all about the work I do with them but it's big and powerful and teaching me how to expand my gifts in a way that is beneficial to growing companies on a corporate level. I could write alot about this but I've kept it under my hat as it is still in the developmental stages and is best kept private for now. The day will come where I share more. Corporate Healing Facilitation work, what? Yeah. It's happening.

My life may not look like much to some from the outside. I don’t own a home currently, I'm not married and I don’t have children. These things tend to be the markers of a successful life in our culture. It's difficult for some to pinpoint exactly what I do professionally. The traditional path has never been for me. It's not where my heart has led me. I've been led into spaces much less seemingly secure but yet the gifts that have come from the way I've walked my path has been experiencing a level of richness that is more valuable to me than anything else in this world. Reconciling this within myself has been the most challenging part of the journey. Self-doubt and comparison can ravage the spirit and cause more inner turmoil than I care to admit.

I sit at the Crossroads once again of a time of exponential growth. What do I want? What is meaningful to me? What qualities in those I spend my time with are important right now? How do I best practice self-love today? These questions often come with challenging answers. Ones that don't support glazing over or brushing things under. They require the ability to value my life, my energy, and my vision.

Here is to another day of being grateful to be alive in this body. Grateful for the journey of self-love that leads me to unlock the next level of wholeness. And, another day of gratitude for all those precious souls that have cherished me along the way and I have had the gift of cherishing.

Never forget, you are perfect as you are. Cherish and care for yourself. It really isn't anyone else's responsibility. We are our own healers, guides, teachers, benefactors, validators, and best friends. What we cultivate within ourselves we create around us. You want to know what someone's internal environment is like? Look closely at their life, relationships and how they spend their time. What is valuable to them is expressed in these things. We all make choices based on what is most valuable to us. Period.

What is most valuable to you? And is your life reflecting that? If not, perhaps it's time to take a closer look at where YOU lie in your priorities. Food for thought.
