Finding acceptance for what is.

03/17/2022

Many of us go through life micromanaging and wanting to control every aspect of our life in search of something grand. We engage in tools and practices that we believe will take us somewhere “better”. This essentially and counterintuitively locks us into a belief that who we are and where we are is not “good enough”. We get caught up in this loop of chasing something better which leads to avoidance, distractions and denial of what is, while simultaneously creating more suffering.

When we realize that every moment is a gift of truth. An opportunity to meet life and ourselves exactly where we are. To be brought so deep into the present moment and come face to face with our existence. Dropping the illusion of separation. Meeting God with every breath. This idea of Free Will begins to dissolve and transforms into a complete surrender of our will to God’s will.

We develop a sense of ease and grace, trust and a total acceptance of what is. Dropping all resistance and the need to seek truth, because we are truth.

As suffering begins to fall away and a child-like wonder and curiosity of life begins to take form. Life becomes playful, spontaneous and we are able to see the joy and laughter within the simplest things. We welcome the mundane with arms wide open as our life begins yet continues to remain the same, just viewed from a completely new lens. This extraordinary life we once chased dissolves as we find peace, love and everything we once searched for in the ordinary.

What happens next remains unknown and we rest in the peaceful beauty of this Great Mystery.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve had this desire to be seen.
Now, what does that really mean? To be seen?
I imagine we all wish to be seen in different ways,
But for me, I crave deep intimacy and Truth.

It’s not about being famous, or having a large following…none of that.
I just want to be witnessed.
To feel acknowledged, recognized and accepted by those I see so clearly.

Seeing oneself within another is a magical thing.
A direct mirror into one’s soul.

And of course, see me in all my glory and I’m glowing.
But, point out anything that I’ve tried to hide and it cuts like a knife.
A blade of truth.
Reminding me of where I still haven’t come to fully see and accept myself.

I want to be seen with deep reverence
And resonance.
You know, like when you can see someone so clearly you can actually feel them.
Because you are them.

This is my desire.

But, is this really how I see myself?
It mustn’t be, because if I did,
I would know myself so deeply.
The seeking would end.

And this whole seeking thing.
It’s dying.
A slow and beautiful death.

The part of myself that’s tried to keep things hidden can finally see herself.
And I love her, she has kept me safe and protected.

And the parts that I’ve tried to hide are the ones I see so clearly.
They would always come back to haunt me.
But this time, I’m not scared.
And they aren’t haunting me at all.

They’ve just been shoved down and pushed to the side so many times,
they just want to make sure I’m still here.
Building trust.

But I forget sometimes.

I forget a lot, actually.
Only sometimes, do I give myself the space to really see this clearly.
It’s as if I think admitting that there are deeper layers to heal makes me any less of a healer.
When in reality, denying it does.
It lacks integrity.

This game of hide and seek is reaching completion.
And this yearning to be seen, is just me yearning to see myself.

Honesty penetrates my being.
It’s like making love with the lights on - blinds wide open, full daylight, rays of sunshine making their way into the room as every crevice is explored.
Completely raw and exposed.

These vibrant solar rays within my heart; (con’t below)

The Five Levels of Compassion

Ordinary Human Compassion -The definition of compassion is “to suffer with” - to know when one is suffering and to allow oneself to be present in feeling the pain and suffering of oneself or another. This is our ability to be empathetic, put ourselves in the shoes of another, and be present with what's arising.

Compassion of Curiosity - Creating space to understand why there is suffering through inquiry/self-inquiry. Get curious about what you are experiencing, why suffering may be present, and what it may be revealing to you at this time. Create time for self-reflection inquiry or ask thought-provoking questions that bring on deeper insights and awareness of the situation.

Compassion of Recognition - Recognizing certain traits, behaviors, or aspects that we hold within ourselves to varying degrees and also recognizing the similarities held within the collective human experience. This recognition allows us to feel compassion for the human experience as well as know and understand ourselves and one another on a deeper, more intimate level.

Compassion of Truth - Tapping into what's necessary to heal and liberate ourselves from suffering. Being able to face the truth without trying to protect ourselves/another from pain nor trying to inflict pain in any way. Holding the intention to find freedom and return to wholeness by being open, honest, and truthful, even when it hurts. This is true love and compassion (loving awareness) and can also be expressed as the healing force of God/Source.

Compassion of Possibility - Holding space for the True Self to emerge and become manifest. To play in the field of possibilities while holding the potential for oneself/another to rise to their highest at any given moment. Knowing when to set healthy boundaries, while maintaining the energy of compassion of possibility for miracles and true healing to occur.

Our reality is a holographic projection of who and what we are.

Notice the reality in which you are creating. The timeline in which you walk.
We are fractals of the greater whole, on our own individuated journeys.

You are not the collective.
You are not who society says you are.
You are not your thoughts, feelings & emotions.
You are perceiving these things.
And to make things more interesting, we can only perceive what we are.
This life is a paradox filled with great mystery and nuance.

We are everything and nothing.
Every thing and no thing, existing simultaneously.

We hold worlds within us as multidimensional beings and aspects of God Source. We are essentially our own YOUniverse.

When observing our created reality, we must remember this - our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are working with all dimensional layers, versions & aspects of ourselves to co-create our perception of reality.

As we evolve organically, our consciousness evolves with us as we bring awareness to all dimensional aspects of Self.

This allows us to heal deeper layers from the inside out & return to our original organic blueprint. This is done through the body.
We ascend through consciousness, through the body.

En-Lighten-Ment through Em-Body-Ment.
Bringing light (consciousness) into the body.
Activating the light body, dormant DNA & embodying the soul essence.

We are clearing past, current & future karma, programming, trauma & miasms (trapped energy/energetic buildup) which exist within the body.

Notice what arises. Be present with it all.
Observe with loving awareness & stay in the body.
Our conscious awareness IS medicine.

Create LOVE in the body.
BE LOVE and soften into inner peace.
Allow the body to detox.
We are healing. Cleaning. Releasing.

Be gentle with yourself and make time for rest & integration.

Inner Alchemy Sessions + Mentorship are adaptable, flexible & available for those seeking support & guidance as we continue to heal, evolve and expand into higher consciousness. I hold sacred space with God, meeting you where you are to be fully seen and held as you transmute all that is not of your True Nature. Dm or book via link in my bio.
