Be Gentle with Yourself….

Taking the road less traveled and healing yourself is not always easy. As you awaken, you not only become aware of the pain and invalidation you are holding on to but in the process of clearing you must face it for a moment so you can release it.

No matter where you are on your spiritual path, how enlightened or self-aware you feel, your place as a teacher, lightworker or student, you are in a growth process. There is always more to uncover and discover. Of course this is a good thing because it means you’re alive. 🙂 It also means that while you are acknowledging and going through this kind of growth you need to be extra gentle with yourself!

Pain, hurt, invalidation and fear buries itself deep within your psyche. The energy resides in your physical body as well as your spiritual body. It is in the cells of your body, stored as excess body weight, hidden behind a smile or an energetic facade. 

While we all want to grow our self-awareness,  heal and release what we are holding on to there is a mechanism that kicks in when we hit those pain pictures and our attention automatically shifts until we are ready to clear them. Again this is not a bad thing because it allows each of us to clear at our own pace.

When you uncover any sort of pain pictures  and begin clearing them from the spiritual part of you it does take some time to clear in the physical. In spirit there is no time or space. Energy clears instantly. The physical body takes time to heal and in some cases the energy is in physical form as in getting sick or needing surgery.

The important thing to remember when embarking on a journey of spirit is to be gentle with your body.  It’s going through a lot! Give it nourishing and healthy foods, make time for soothing moments of quiet and truly pamper yourself.  Physical exercise helps the process along as well! It gets you connected to your body but keep in mind that getting enough sleep and rest is just as important.

This is also the time for meditating and turning your attention within more not less. It will help you get through your growth period faster and easier.  As a spiritual being you are strong and wise beyond words. You will never put yourself through something you can’t handle but sometimes asking for a little help goes a long way! Don’t be afraid to ask for help and by all means if energy has manifested in the physical see your Doctor!

The dewdrop in the photo posted is delicate yet strong enough to hold together the teeny water molecules that make it a dewdrop.  It allows itself to BE a dewdrop shimmering in the morning light. It trusts and accepts help from the flower petal to keep it safe until the process of being a dewdrop is complete.

You are indeed like the dewdrop. Be gentle with your body and give it what it needs. Trust and have faith in your strength of spirit and know that mind, body and spirit will guide you toward what you need to help you through the growth process. ~Shine Your Light Debbie

Are you embracing ALL of you?

Fact: Love, joy, happiness, and passion are energy vibrations. Fact: Boredom, apathy, sadness and ANGER are energy vibrations!

Yes, bodies get angry and/or sad no matter how much you don’t want them too! Can you have and embrace ALL of these?

This is an interesting question to reflect upon. We all have a full spectrum of emotions, feelings and energy vibrations that are not only a part of us but a part of being human.

Denying, ignoring or stifling any of these vibrations limits your experience and in essence you are denying a part of yourself. It also puts a limit on the opposite vibration.

Most of us are taught from a very young age not to get angry and to forgive those who have treated us badly. Forgiveness is wonderful BUT forgiving doesn’t make it OK for someone to treat you like a doormat or invalidate you.

You cannot control what others say or do but it IS ok to get angry! It is also OK to use your anger as a healing. Here comes the tricky part…allowing your anger to flow in YOUR space without lashing out or sending it out to someone.

Allowing your anger, or any other emotion or feeling for that matter, to flow through you is empowering. Giving yourself permission to have these feelings is a step toward growing and expanding your other feelings and emotions.

The reason I used anger as an example is because it is one of the emotions that many people have very little permission to have. For you it may be some other emotion.

Men are taught not to cry and women not to get angry…etc. The truth is that bodies have emotions!

We all want to keep our focus on the love & light within..at least I’m in hopes that all of you reading this want those vibrations in the forefront but are you truly experiencing ALL of them?

There is always a dichotomy and you can’t have one without the other. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s laws apply here too!

There is day and night, two sides to every coin, and a plethora of emotions & feelings each with a direct opposite that make up our very BEing-ness.

Having your awareness and embracing those dark parts of you, or as some would say negative vibrations,  as well as light & love gives you the ability to expand your human experience.

Embracing your anger and acknowledging it allows you to love that much more. Feeling your sadness allows you to be that much happier. Having a good cry makes the laughter that much more joyful. 🙂

You cannot nor is it necessary to control what you are feeling. Allow feelings & emotions to bubble up and BE. Feel your feelings & emotions, embrace them,  acknowledge them then release let them! 🙂

Embrace the reality of human experience! HAVE all that you are! BE who you are! Accept ALL your feelings and emotions as a part of you!~Shine Your Light Debbie
