Your wounds carry wisdom. But you won't be able to see the wisdom from the same consciousness that experienced the wound. The consciousness that experienced the wound can mostly see the pain. It takes to embrace a bird's eye view to see the wisdom that the wound has brought.

Some people miss their lives because they spend too much time planning it. They are so afraid of chaos that their lives become rigid. When we spend too much time trying to plan every minute of our lives, we also rob ourselves from the possibility to be benevolently surprised by the universe.

One of the best commitments you'll make, is to challenge yourself to experience laughter everyday... yes even during the days that seem riddled with doom and gloom. One of the most pervasive forms of spiritual bypassing is disowning our joy when times are challenging... or when we operate from the assumption that if we're doing "the work" it should always be "hard" and gut wrenching.

If you say that you truly want to forgive, do not be surprised if what comes up first is resentment, anger or grief. One of the reasons why many people have a hard time accessing forgiveness, is because they are unconsciously pushing away the parts of them that felt wronged or betrayed.

Your level of inner peace is intimately related to your ability to simplify your life. Your level of inner peace is intimately related to how much unfinished business you are carrying.

The best healers will make it clear that they are here to serve you, not to save you. Also, don't believe that "no one is coming to save you". That would crush the helpless parts within you. Someone IS coming to save you... but you've got to build that person. It's got to be YOU. It IS YOU.

There's never been a better time to consciously reclaim a conscious relationship with prayer... which in its simplest form is about holding an intention that you infuse your life force into. An invitation to the divine force within to join you more powerfully in that creation. The relationship that people have with prayer is one that has been hijacked tremendously over the last decades/centuries. You don't need to beg an external divine force to be in prayer. That's an old paradigm of prayer.

Most people you relentlessly seek to be understood by, have a hard time understanding themselves. When you step into your sovereignty, you realize that it wasn't their place to begin with. If being understood is a condition for safety for you... then you might want to practice holding compassionately the part of you that seeks to be understood in order to feel safe. When you step into your sovereignty, it's a need you may no longer want to outsource.

One of the most elegant forms of humility is to stop taking yourself so seriously. It lightnens your field and invites more ease and laughter in your life. Taking yourself and this human journey too seriously is a subtle form of arrogance... one that is preventing you from experiencing more grace.

Most people "protect" their light because it is the most intimate aspect of who they are. They hide it because they aren't willing to deal with the potential of having it criticized, ridiculed or rejected. The paradox is that in survival, we attempt to protect the part of us that needs to be protected the least. Your light doesn't need your protection, it needs your trust.

"If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's." - Carl Jung In order to do what you came on this earth plane to do, odds are you're going to have to befriend the unknown.
