As I feel the light start to wane, the days grow shorter and winter pulls me into hibernation, I feel this little light whispering, “What wants to be awakened inside of you, even as you begin your winter hibernation?”
Here is the truth. I teach what I have learned. And I have struggled with feeling the Divine inside of my being and body. I have had real sit downs with the Divine and expressed frustration that this human body is so flawed, the stories inside my body so real, I doubt the Divine dwells inside of that. Can the Divine truly reside where there is shame and doubt?
As I was sitting on the top of a vortex in Sedona this week, the message came to me loud and clear. I felt shackles of pain release from my body, the stories of my ancestors, past lives, and my own life stories and beliefs wash away. I saw chains release from my crown and root chakra.
And I felt freedom.
The Divine has been here all along, waiting for my own love to meet her.
This is what I heard loud and clear:
“Love your body, your sacred body, enough to be present in it. Learn how good it feels to refuse to abandon your body or betray it. Look at your body without criticism of what’s happening inside of it or what it looks like. Love it and be in gratitude for it. Even if you fake it. Don’t waste precious energy on what your body is not. It’s a blessing no matter how ill or broken. Honor and embody the energy that flows inside of it. This will help you get closer to Spirit.”
As we travel through life, we unravel and reveal more of ourselves. Being a spiritual person, I have always felt the body was almost an impediment to my closeness to the Divine. This 3D living experience can sometimes hold me back from where my soul wants to fly.
But what if our stories, our families, our bodies, and our beliefs are part of the soul story that we have needed in order to ascend? What if we can’t do the spiritual without the mundane, real world experiences?
