The {most recent} Journey
The whisper, the nudge, the push. It all began with a simple comment “Maybe when you return from your travels, you need to think about doing “this” {energetics/healing training} is what my mentor shared during a coaching session. “What” I exclaimed, “do what you do? Are you crazy?!?”
…Fast forward 6 years. I AM doing what ‘he’ does, just my version. My truth. My vision. My skills.
Here’s what I know to be true about all of us humans. We are complex, simple, pure – a dichotomy of emotions and experiences. We desire connection, love, openness in a form very personal and unique to each person. We walk or run through life at a pace that might not work for us, spreading our shit as we try to find connection, our tribe, our true self. Without question, most conscious leaders express that connection to both community and self is imperative for growth. I ask, how the heck do we AUTHENTICALLY connect without really knowing our self or what we desire? Do we even know what authentic connection is and knowing one’s self at the deepest level?
I once thought I did…
I spoke about all things authentic. Authentic happiness. Authentic knowing. Authentic love. *insert your adjective of choice and I’m pretty sure I said that as well. Authenticity was my bucket, catch phrase. What I didn’t know at the time is that I was NOT living authentically. What the…?! Really? Me, not living authentically?? I continued the internal dialogue ‘BUT, I worked so hard to find balance and the gentle dance in life we play’. Nope. Try again.
Over the past 3-6 months I REALLY got to experience authenticity. Authentic to the depths of my soul as I dug deep, went inside, sobbed through the (perceived) loneliness and isolation, sobbed and sat quietly through integration of all that I learned and through the moments I chose not to live and show up in all that I taught others. Sat quietly as I integrated and woke to a new integration. How do I KNOW? There’s a depth, a vulnerability, my soul is unwavering, my truth and knowing self. I live the human experience of emotions and see my blind spots and pain-points in life when they come up…and deal with them! No more running. Cowering. Pushing. I stand firm, strong, open. Some days, I surprise myself with my reactions to life. I show up more. I face my fears (ok, maybe the conversation take a few days….I’m human first!) but am real, walking this path of life with my heart full, connected, and wide open.
I stir the soul of everyone I meet. I stir thoughts, emotions, concepts, desires. I am not interested in knowing the surface you choose to share, I’m interested in your depth. What keeps you up at night. What is your greatest desire. How do you want to feel daily. How do you yearn for your family, your love, your soul. I want to know how you choose to leave your mark, e.v.e.r.y. day.
Our souls crave knowing. Crave being stirred. Crave a new experience. Stay tuned for your soul to be stirred! To allow yourself to gently experience life with grace, ease, expansion.
Will you join me on a journey of discovering your authentic self. If you want to know more….reach out. Ask. Ask yourself first – ‘what do I desire most’. How do I get there. What map can I create to do this. Not sure? Let me help you become the greatest version of you!
With love,
Your authentic connection.
