Looking Into Those Shadows.

My darlings, what happens when we open our hearts?

Do we fall blindly into the abyss of swirling emotion? Or, do we bask in the light of a newfound awakening?

So often, we’re terrified of opening our hearts. We feel conflicted, vulnerable – unsettled, at best.

And, yet?

These feelings serve as a catalyst. They push us towards our ‘edges’ and urge us to look ever more deeply into those shadows.

And, why?

Because, the spirit knows what is often missed. That which is glossed over, suppressed – it always comes back, now – doesn’t it? Somehow it knows that we are not finished yet…

Exploring these vulnerabilities can seem a frightening proposition, though – it’s “only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness (that we may) discover the infinite power of our light.” (Brené Brown)

Imagine that? Finding our own light within what we believe to be the darkest crevice?

It certainly helps to refine our perspective. And hopefully reinforce that one simple truth – that all feelings should be welcomed.

A little something to consider, my friends – where we are vulnerability, we grow.

In peace…

Namaste ❤️
