FULL BLOOM.

I used to be terrified to stand in my light, to be seen.

There were repercussions if I did.

It was safer to retreat, to fade into the background and allow everyone else to be seen. To be the quiet one that was dimming to fit in.

When I first began coaching and teaching yoga my survival instinct….the one that decided it wasn’t safe to be seen {for good reason} would start screaming, you can’t be seen, it’s not safe, you’re going to get hurt, what will people think. I would listen to her and retreat back within, step off the stage and think my dreams weren’t possible. I would shrivel into the background where it was safe…..

And I was in an inner war with myself. I deeply wanted to be seen, I wanted to put my work out there, stand in front of a class and teach….I wanted to share my message but my survival instinct was terrified to do just that…..

and so the deep inner work began.

The mothering my inner child, letting her know it’s safe for her to stand fully in her light…..the following the thread to the experiences that caused her to shy away, nurturing them, acknowledging them and sitting with them.

Healing what was repressed and cast aside…..reforming the foundation so that blossoming into my fullness was safe.

So that standing fully in my light was safe.

So that it is safe to share my message, my truth, to stand fully in my light…..just like the moon.

She is our reminder that blossoming completely into our fullness, standing fully in our light and lighting up the whole damn planet is our birth rite.

It’s what we came here to do.

That the light, the dark….it’s all part of it and that maybe it’s time for you to let your light expand to the edges, that your full blossom is calling you forward…..and that it’s time to re-form the foundation to stand fully in it.
