Your guidance
From the Akasha
GUIDANCE 3
Take a breathe, lead yourself land and open to the guidance that is here for you - you were drawn here for a reason.
Take what resonates, ruminate on it, let it shift you and leave the rest.
What you may be experiencing
As soon as I tune in to this group, I get the sense that you have always felt quite different in the world.
You may have felt like you fit in, but deep down not that you truly belong.
And because of this, self consciousness can arrive when you want to follow your own desires and the threads of your heart.
Your path may look different to those around you (how amazing!), but that inner feeling of never quite belonging can bring apprehension. A feeling of - what might people think?
And this, in turn, leads to self criticism and being quite hard on yourself.
The pattern underneath
The need to belong is a universal one. Where it becomes unhealthy, and worth looking at, is when it causes us to become overly critical of ourselves for not fitting an invisible and illusory mould that isn't anchored in truth.
If you've found your way to my corner of the internet, it's not uncommon to feel this way. We each hold a very different energetic make up through our Soul Essence, and exploring this more deeply may be helpful for you at this time.
The lesson and the opportunity
The lesson here is centred in self compassion: showing yourself the love and compassion you deserve instead of abandoning yourself to fit in with others.
You deserve to celebrate who you truly are and to give yourself compassion as you navigate this wild journey of life.
“Since you are here,
you belong here.”
A practice for when the selF criticism comes up
Whenever this self criticism arrives, I invite you to sit with yourself.
Put your hand on your heart and call in the part of you that your inner critic is focused on. Perhaps it's the part of you that made a past choice your inner critic now deems a mistake. Perhaps it's a trait or quality you hold, such as deep sensitivity. Perhaps it's a trigger or experience that keeps coming up, such as self doubt.
Whatever it is, bring that part of you into your awareness as if they are sitting in front of you. Truly see them: their good intentions, the truth in their heart, how hard they are trying and how much they want love.
Give this part of you compassion and honest connection from your heart - see them through the eyes of your true self, your higher self - and be with them, accepting them and loving them as they are.
Learning the lesson of self compassion lessens the energetic charge in so many of these experiences. It creates a shift. It allows you to be with yourself, the truth of you.
HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU
Wanting to go deeper?
If you've spent a long time questioning yourself, feeling like there's something deeper to understand about who you are, a Soul Essence Reading is a beautiful place to explore it.
In this reading I open your Akashic Records to explore your soul essence: the energetic make up you've carried into this life, and the deeper understanding behind the challenges and relationship dynamics that have perhaps left you doubting yourself. Your reading arrives as a written report in your inbox, so you can come back to it whenever you need a reminder of who you truly are.
So often the response is an exhale and a "that makes so much sense." The things you've been criticising yourself for start to look like part of who you are. There's more energy and vitality available once you stop trying to fit yourself into something you're not, and you come away with a clearer, more confident sense of who you truly are and the space to celebrate it.
