What happens when we are fully connected to life?

What happens when we are fully connected to life?

We all know what it feels like to be disconnected and the affect this depression has on our lives. But what about its opposite? What happens when we are fully connected to life?

We feel things on a whole different level. The butterfly fluttering past suddenly makes our hearts explode with joy. The way the sun warms our bare skin makes us feel sensual and alive. The way a song seems to seep into our very soul and we just can't help but sing or dance along to the beat.

You see, when we are fully connected to life, we become endlessly energised by the potential possibilities of life itself. We find ourselves in this space of innocent curiosity, like a child seeing the wonders of the world for the first time. And its from this place of optimism and gratitude that our own magic, our essence, gets to creep out into the world, lighting up all who are touched by it.

Its from this place in our own Sorcerry, that everything we want in life... finds us. Pretty cool huh?

Here's the thing about our intuition... It has

Here's the thing about our intuition...

It has many names. Some of us say Intuition, The Knowing, Second Hearing, Gut Instincts... I love to view her as a Queen. A regal soverign who sits in the Darkness within us sharing her inner wisdom. Why?

Because she is the part of us that can sense things before the logical mind has time to process. She's the part of us that asks us to move forward towards growth and complete acceptance of ourselves. To stand tall and proud in who we are, on the inside and the outside. A Queen.

And just like a Queen, she asks us to take action that is in our best interest, but isn't always comfortable.

So we begin to fear her, our intuition, and push her further and further into the darkest recesses within ourselves. Muting her voice. And forcing her to become the Dark Queen, forever surrounded by darkness to drown out her voice of wisdom.

But she doesn't get angry at us for doing this. She IS intuition, so she knows the day will come when we finally find her again.

The question is, when will you make the choice to seek her out?

All the monsters in her mind came
Stepping out of the darkness
Waiting for their turn to speak
No longer viewed with fear
But now a compassionate curiosity
An eagerness to uncover
What truths she had hidden from herself

The truth I discovered about the darker elements of my personality is this...

The bitch within me. She is not bad.
The master manipulator within me. She is not evil.
The angry, bitter part of me. She is not nasty.

These elements of myself ARE NOT WRONG. They DO NOT need to be shamed or locked away.

You see, the darker elements of our personalities, our Monsters, are created to protect our hearts from pain. And in doing so, they show us what we desire and value. Yes their methods are a bit twisted at times. But when we can step back from them and see they are a protection mechanism... suddenly we can view them, and in turn our behaviours, with a lot more compassion.

Can you see what your Monsters are saying about your own desires and values?

One by one
She spoke with them
Her monsters
Her dark ones
Her unconcious behaviours
Grabbing them by the shoulders
Wrapping them in her warm embrace
And showing them the love
They so truly deserved

For the longest time, I didn't like being alone. I

For the longest time, I didn't like being alone.
I didn't like it when life slowed down.
And I certainly couldn't bare it when everything just stopped.

You see there were darker parts of my personality that I didn't want to acknowledge existed. An inner destructiveness that was bitter and twisted, manifesting in periods of depression and anxiety. And like many people, I was inadvertently taught that those traits within me were wrong, naughty and distasteful.

I hated it.
I hated them.
I hated that part of me.
So I shamed myself for them and tried my hardest to push them away and 'lock it down' deep inside.

But when I was alone... those Monsters would remind me of their existence. And rather than finding the strength to face them, even though it was uncomfortable, I would choose to fill the space with something else.

The next party.
The next househould chore.
The next play date.
The next adventure.
I would do everything and anything I could to be 'busy' so I couldn't hear or feel them anymore.

But over time, I learned something really important.

I learned these Monsters were trying to show me something important and they were trying their hardest to get me to stop so I could truly hear and see them.

And when I realised all they wanted was my attention... I stopped running.

From them.
From me.
From my truth.

And that was when my journey of loving ALL of me finally began.

The truth I learned about myself by studying hundr

The truth I learned about myself by studying hundreds of other women...

I am naturally charismatic.
I am naturally magentic.
I am naturally confident.
And so is every other woman I have ever met.

For some, it shines through in the way we talk about the things we love.
For some, it eminates from the brushstrokes on the canvas.
For some, it is felt in the way their emotions flow with vulnerable confidence.
For some, it is so unique that it can be felt but not fully definable.

There is a part of you which is naturally confident, charismatic and magnetic. A part of you that naturaly creates magic wherever you go and in whatever you do... simply because its you.

A voice echoed
Words rippling
From within the darkness
She could not see her
The owner of this voice
But she could feel her
A presence there in the dark
That was powerful beyond measure
