"I See Your True Colors Shining Through"

Beloved -  We are so amazing… and it is so hard for us to see~ 

It’s no small thing to be willing to re-examine your self and your life
because you have come to have a healthy respect for the Awareness that arises with some of your habitual responses to life and people… I’m talking about the time when you just know that these old habits and patterns no longer feel good, appropriate, healthy or right for who you are now or for who you want to be.  

Ugh.  Today and yesterday was all about this. What a birthday gift!   

Our lives are becoming more transparent.  Sometimes it’s hard to look and know what to do with the mess or pain you feel inside of yourself… with the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.
What should I DO? 

I remind myself of the medicine that asks us to wait with as much SELF COMPASSION, SELF KINDNESS AND PATIENCE as we can give ourselves.  To BE with what is arising, with everything, as best we can... 

to get out of our heads and notice what we are feeling in our body – the sensations…

Can we acknowledge our true feelings?

Today it was hard for that part of me that learned to show up strong, deny my needs and feelings and take care of my family first….

To say: ‘I’m scared.  I’m afraid.’  It’s a challenge for me to acknowledge and say that, even though I know it is the little girl inside of me speaking who never had anyone to listen to her, and she needs someone (me) to hear her now and not dismiss or diminish her. It’s time.

Perhaps call a dear friend. counselor, or coach that you can trust…. who can listen and hold sacred space... be your holy witness.

My friend sang this song to me today - 'TRUE COLORS'- and I’m sharing it with you, because if I need it…. some of you need it too. The link to the song True Colors is below:

Speaking out loud and feeling safe to do so changes everything…. and allows what was stuffed and stuck to move and to rearrange itself into a more harmonious pattern that is reflective and supportive of who you are now... of the adult you are now….

so that you don’t keep living with your old reactive, protective and life limiting patterns – originally created by the brilliant innocent child who created these genius coping skills and patterns in order to protect and survive.  

We aren’t the child we once were. And it takes great courage to look honestly, and to speak honestly.  It’s hard, and yet I know this is where True Freedom and Opportunities for true lasting Transformation reside. 

 What are you being called to do? Mine is to look again at my beliefs (mostly unconscious) and assumptions, to feel my feelings, to listen and to take care of the little girl inside of me who did not have an adult capable of doing that for her.

I know how important and life changing it is to have someone who Listens with Compassion and Respect.

Circle of Namaste' ~ A Sacred Talking Circle 

Beloved -  I took a trip to Medjugorje in Bosnia - Herzegovina in 2002. As I walked around the simple village, I watched the townspeople nod in acknowledgement to each other.

As they smiled and nodded, they would say the word BOK.  I assumed it meant hello or have a good day.  It does.  "Bok is usually considered as an informal way to say HI, Hello, or Bye"

Looking further, I discovered that one of the original meanings of the word BOK is GOD.

I am sure that most of them had forgotten the derivation of the word... and did not realize that they were saying God, just at the moment that they were bowing their heads and acknowledging their neighbors and friends. Pretty Profound~

We use a similar word here in the U.S.  When we complete a yoga class, we finish by bowing to each other and we say - Namaste'.  The word has sanskrit and hindu derivations.

Namaste' means I bow to the Divine in You.  I see, behold, recognize
The Divine / God in you... and I bow.  

Yoga teacher Aadil Palkhivala says: "The gesture Namaste' represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart charka" (in the center of our chest).  My guess is that most of us say Namaste' without really groking it. 

  Bok - Namaste' 
  Wayne Dyer says that God is our very nature:  

"Recognizing your own divinity,

“I Am God” is not blasphemy, it is your identity...

We are the God that is Love."

Circle of Namaste' - A Sacred Talking Circle

How often have you looked to someone else for guidance, knowledge, acceptance, kindness… and felt frustrated that you couldn’t access these for your self?

Most of us have not been taught how to trust ourselves… and validate our own feelings, wisdoms, and ways of knowing.

Is it time for you to reconnect with the Wisdom and Self-Compassion within yourself?

In this Sacred Talking Circle, we will hold the intention of Namaste’.

We will not offer advice or try to fix or change anyone.

We will simply listen deeply from our hearts and focus on the Divine in each other.
