If you pull it carefully, the bandage sticks to your body like super glue, and it hurts like hell! The more you pull, the agonizing it gets. Right!?
But instead, if it is removed in one pull, it's done, hecho, pasó, listo!
The discomfort passes quickly, giving you an enormous sigh of relief!
Ahhhhh
That's how self-healing feels!
When you feel it coming, embrace it. Don't hold back.
Don't try to control it!
Trust me. You will lose that fight!
You can consciously ignore it, though. But know it will show up again!
And again!
The cycle is on a repeat loop until you decide to learn the assignment.
It took me decades to get it. And the last ten years to finally learn to embrace it.
We get to choose what and from whom we learn the lessons life gives us!
Well sometimes! Other times, it's unexpected!
You are the observer of your life's unfolding.
The director
And the leading role.
All at once!
It is a journey that takes patience, a good dose of it, and lots of love.
It does not happen overnight either!
You get to unwrap each layer when you are ready to do so.
Not before!
You don't wake up awaken an enlightened one morning, and voilà!
Nope! So don't pressure yourself to seek the answers outside of you right away!
We all go through the urge to know all the answers, desperately needing clarity! And at times, our ego is so enlarged that we feel we know it all!
And that is when lessons show up!
It has happened to me quite a few times!
In the afternoon, I landed admitted to the hospital with a major health scare; like a lightning strike, I felt deep inside that I needed to begin a forgiveness journey, starting with myself.
That pathway led me to join a year-long mastermind and learn Reiki and Sujok...
Since 2001 I went from conferences to workshops and every opportunity I could find to learn about personal development, leadership, and emotional intelligence.
I was focusing on mindset! It is all about how I think "I Thought."
And to some extent, that is true. However, energy plays a MAJOR part!
People would tell me what I needed to do or whom I needed to become!
Then one day, everything changed!
I had arrived in Denver for a women's retreat.
Another gal and I rented a car, and on our drive to the retreat house, she asked me about my story.
Not knowing her and not knowing why I opened up and shared everything.
My fears. My shame and guilts poured out of my mouth like a tornado, and
for the first time, I bared my naked soul for three days with other extraordinary women...
I sensed the "Oh shit, crap! What is this feeling?" And then I felt a release—a libration, a breakthrough at last.
But although I was excited about the breakthrough, I wanted to hold on to the girl slipping through my fingers as I shed my old skin.
But at the same time, I felt the rush of morphing into the woman who was experiencing the turning of her pain into wisdom. And Aha moment like never before!
"There comes a moment when yesterday's girl dies.
A moment when her old wounds suddenly stop bleeding
A moment when her quest for redemption ends
When she finally arrives at the dawn of her spiritual renaissance."
Dr. Shefali
From there on, I followed an intuitive blueprint. My remembrance of women before me is etched in my DNA, and now I was able to access it with each layer I unveiled.
Someone had asked the questions that invited me to crack open.
And I was ready to go in!
How do you know you are ready to unleash another awakening?
If you notice you cannot be your authentic self around others, that isn't self-love, and it's a clue that you are living in misalignment from who you truly are.
Your relationships are changing. What you tolerated before is not ok anymore.
You have everything you ever wanted, but there is still a void, and you don't know why that is
You feel a deep desire to reconnect and amend the bond if you have daughters. So you can set them free with love and allow them to rewrite their karmic contracts.
The choice to take off the bandage when you feel discomfort is empowering. But I get it is also scary.
Embracing the transitions over the years, you will see the light the more you get comfortable with the discomfort. And then you will feel a profound Sovereignty over your mind, body, and soul even amid challenges and life speed pumps.
It all begins when you choose self-love. Self-respect.
When you start to take responsibility and stop the blame.
When boundaries become your roadmap towards freedom, and...
☮️ You choose inner peace over people-pleasing even when it feels unfamiliar.
☮️ You don't allow guilt or shame to drive your decisions anymore.
☮️ You own your story and walk in it wholeheartedly with your head high.
Not from your ego but from the joy of knowing you are conquering your fears and embracing your most authentic self.
BEING the driver of your life with purpose and intention in everything you do.
If you are ready to take off the bandage and experience a paradigm shift, this is your invitation to join me in my next Adventure Retreat!
I don't know what you will find in this journey; what I know is that when you shed your old skin, I will be beside you to hold your hand while you breathe and push as you rebirth yourself!
Are you ready? Your journey begins here...
