Namaste All. As we approach this US holiday celebration of the birth of our nation, let us pause to take some inner reflection on what truly expresses our authentic,independent spiritual nature. This new moon cycle we are currently in for another week is nudging us to clear old identifications from our consciousness. To release the concepts of who we' think' we are through forms of ego and personality and open to the vulnerable yet true and clear expression of our spiritual energetic beings.
The path to pruning the old identities is letting go of old patterns of thinking that no longer serve us. The judgements, self criticisms, the impatience, fear and anger that block the deeper expressions we may be keeping in the shadows. This inner work is necessary if we ever hope to attract and engage in authentic loving relationships with ourselves and with others. As we heal and grow our inner independent self, we naturally align with others that are doing the same. The result is we come together as a sum greater than our individual parts. We all expand and benefit.
So take some time in the next week to examine what old pattern of thinking, habit of mind or emotion are you willing to release as a portal to opening to a deeper , more authentic, independent expression of your unique self? Notice in what situations you feel the most relaxed and open in. Notice the aspects of how you feel when in a relaxed open state. Notice who you feel the most relaxed and open around. Notice what situations, thoughts or patterns of emotional programming create separation or constriction from your natural, relaxed state of being. Get ready to prune back the constricting patterns.
It does take courage to step into this work but the consequence of not taking those steps is living by someone elses expectations, someone or something else from the external is defining who and what you are. This is not a recipe for happiness but one of suffering. Breathe deep, allow all feelings to be felt and guide you to taking steps to live more alive and aligned with your deepest aspect of who you really are. We are all hear to realize and live from our deepest Dharma.Only you can bring that forward.
Blessings for a week of truth, clarity and authenticity! Namaste
