Inquire Within - On Self Discovery
As life changes with the seasons so too do we - the natural cycles of ebb and flow; birth, life, death & rebirth again are found everywhere. After last week’s Full Supermoon Blood Moon Eclipse I’ve been allowing myself to journey inward. Deeper, fuller, with as much embrace as possible.
In the spiritual community we talk a lot about Light, Mindset, Positivity. I find myself exploring the depths of Shadow much more lately. The real work has been in INTEGRATING my self discoveries. Allowing myself to observe without judgement. To quite literally, “Inquire Within” my heart, my mind, my soul.
It is through this inner work I begin to under/inner/& over stand that most times, the voice inside my head isn’t mine. It sounds like my voice, as if I were talking to myself. Now I recognize the difference between a Fear based & a Love based thought.
What it comes down to is this - ALL Fear based thoughts are Not your own. How could they possibly be when you are Pure Love? Fear based thoughts are programmed into our minds. Like a stone cast into water, the ripples of thoughts & emotions are powerful enough to linger, to stay. To rise up from the deep on their own when we are triggered. The work of shadow integration helps us to see and to truly know the difference. And it all starts with one simple question - Is this Love or is this Fear?
I write this knowing I was triggered only a few days ago and didn’t practice this simple inquiry with myself. Sometimes we have a moment. The only way out is through, feel your feelings, allow them to wash over you so that they may be released. Practice becomes easier with acknowledgement & commitment. Daily work becomes discipline, new habits are formed, new connections made and then, the possibilities are endless.
You are limitless love.
I love you.
