Stepping out of the spiritual closet, it's real, it's happening and there is so much power in it, too. A lot of us are in this portal. With the internet and all these new means of connecting with one another and being seen we can no longer deny the voice within that has been silenced. The wisdom that wishes to be spoken and share without reserve. This is your permission. This is your time. How would it feel if you were fearlessly you? Would you walk different, what would you look like, how would you speak? These qualities are wishing to be expressed.
By claiming:
Today is a new day.
Today I choose to be seen for who I am and love my authentic nature.
Today I choose to shine my light bright.
We are reclaiming our power. Our ancestors would be proud of the healing magic you are doing for your lineage and the people of the Earth. It's a big deal.
With tomorrow being Easter, I asked myself how we plan on celebrating and what traditions I'd like to establish for our family. This is what inspired this writing. I took a look at how I was raised with my religious background and felt many repressed emotions release today as I reflected on this. A voice from within, was shushed and angry for too long.
I was raised in the Mormon church with my Dad, and the Catholic church with my Mom until I was 13! I was then given the freedom to believe whatever I wanted and not have to attend any churches anymore. I stopped going and began cultivating a personal practice based on the information that felt best and resonated with my soul. My family thought I was weird, because I did yoga and prayed to All That Is and love trees so much I hug them, they though I was troubled and yet always came to me for advice and questioned why I believed what I did. It was something else. My heart hopes that this won't be so weird to "normal" folk for much longer, because the poor souls are missing out. If I know one thing from being raised in a religious structure it's that we are encouraged to listen to a voice other than our intuition, and seek the knowledge and truth of being in something outside of ourselves. This is backwards.
My intuition was strong ever since I was a child and looking back on this, I understand why now. Although I often felt shame, guilt, judged, silenced and confused growing up in the church system; I also felt the good things too, connection, comfort, intuition and a sense of belonging. I choose to see these "Sacred Sundays" as a way to observe and better understand human relation. I loved the singing, the prayer, the ritual of holding sacred space for each other as we expressed our own experience and connection with "Spirit". Our testimonies. The language we used was different and I always felt it was outdated and needed some renewal, but I felt the resonance in the teachings and the presence of the Great Healer, Jesus. For sure. Many times, and in many different ways. This was my path for this reason. To know that I was apart of something bigger, connected to Source and meant to shake things up, in a loving way.
I remember being 8 years old and meditating, staring at my reflection in the mirror, I would ask myself "Who am I, where do I come from?" I would stare into my iris with deep intensity until I felt an inner shift, and a feeling of knowing. I would lean back and see my aura expand and feel the angels near me.
"I am here to be me, everyone else is taken. I am here to hold space for change. I am here to be a Warrior of Love and a catalyst for healing."
I know this now, and I knew it then. The space in between, happened so quickly, just like the space between the inhale and the exhale. It is not to be taken for granted. Having this knowledge and making the choice to act from this space of love, I am reclaiming my power. You reading this right now, your soul has called you to reclaim your power. To step out of the box you've made yourself and show up for the world.
We are redefining what it means to come out of the "spiritual closet". Living our authentic life, is the greatest gift we can leave behind because there will never be another you. We all have beautiful colors and energy to paint on our living tapestries, the way we show up for the world and how we choose to be seen.
We are the revolutionaries! Do you think Jesus was concerned about what the guys were saying about him hanging out with the prostitutes? No. He just loved, and healed with his love.
I pray that we can all drop the masks and look deep into our reflection and ask the big questions "Who am I...where do I come from...what do I choose to do with this precious life I was given?" These are the questions to be asking.
Not "do you believe in God?" but more so, "do you believe in your Inner God/Goddess?" You are a miracle. Step out of the closet and into the world, as you.
Sacred Soul. May you feel support, confidence and so loved, because you are!
Aho.
