To return to our inner knowledge is where true self love, intuition and inner wisdom stems from. Being with the all encompassing energy of one self is where the beginning of existence lies.
Unfortunately, due to our desire to do “good” by others and to make others happy, our own light gets dimmed and most of us don’t regain the same inner peace we were born with.
We were all born from light, divine light which is source energy. An inner knowing, strongly attached to our intuition.
As children we don’t hold back, we show our true colours, we are not afraid to be ourselves, to make mistakes, to learn and grow.
As we mature, somewhere throughout our upbringing, we learn behaviours and patterns of limiting habits, mostly from caring parents who passed on their own habits, which they themselves carried on from their parents.
We were told to sit a certain way, act a certain way, behave a certain way, think a certain way, not to say particular nor peculiar things and we were often criticised for behaving out of the norm, which didn’t correlate with the standards imposed on us.
In turn, we stopped listening to our own inner guidance which truthfully illuminates the pathway. In essence we were directed, even dictated on how to think and even feel, in order to fit into others comfort zones and not to step out of line.
Hence our beautiful limitless love and light easily got dimmed as we could potentially offend people – the very same people who are indeed dealing with their own insecurities, self-doubts, challenges and woes.
Abiding by what is expected of us is to a degree necessary in order to assure and ensure our safety among the tribe.
In the olden days, those who didn’t were ostracised. So it comes with natural progression to follow what we have learnt from our loved ones, that when we do something a bit different, the repercussions could potentially affect us negatively.
However, when we are too indoctrinated and scared to disrupt the status quo, this results in us dismissing our intuition and in turn listening to self. Unfortunately, with that inevitably follows a lot of inner criticism.
Come today, the generation of pattern disruptors. Gone are the days of having one job and sticking with it throughout our whole lives.
In this 21st century, it’s all about change and trying new things. Being at choice is where we must return to. Committing to yourself. Holding compassion and being contented with saying “no” to things that don’t serve you. It is redefining and redesigning all that which is not in alignment with what your soul merits. Maintaining that we are the makers of our own destiny, by not simply allowing things to happen to us but for us, that’s when the spark of empowerment and enlightenment will illuminate our pathway to what we are meant to do on this earth.
Setting boundaries of what feels comfortable to you, taking care of yourself and your needs, holding compassion for the days where you feel low and just need some time to relax, repose and regenerate.
From this energy you will be able to deeply reconnect with your inner wisdom, intuition and guidance.
As with any muscle, when worked on, it strengthens. Over time this will give you that required space needed to fulfill your happiness in whichever form it presents itself.
Coming back to self means opening wide to the concept that we can have our cake and eat it too. We can be all that we wish to be. No judgement, no criticism, no cynicism, just pure trust.
So, I invite you to take the time to assess the core values that support your growth. Then flow with them, with the least amount of deviation possible.
I implore you to explore the beautiful, endless, boundless possibilities which create that limitless, expansive all encompassing joy that can only be felt from the inside out.
Your energy will shift, your mindset will expand and most importantly your body will return to listening to itself and drown out the noise of exterior distractions.
Here’s to celebrating you and your victories. Connecting to your truth will guarantee you a much more fulfilling life.
We are always thankful and grateful for the lessons passed on from older generations and adding our own twist can only enhance our mental and emotional well-being.
I salute you in all your glory and wish you every success in finding your inner wisdom again.
