Expressing ones self authentically

I am in speaking on expressing ones self authentically today. Right now I'm moving on in my life right now in so many ways.

I have experienced quite a great deal of emotional, spiritual, and physical pain of late. My heart has been hurting, and so I take a moment to pause to speak on it, rather than to stuff it, or taper it.

Metaphysically challenged from time to time? Yes! It would be unconscious, and a dis-service for me to pretend that the pain hasn't existed.

Sometimes in the world of Christianity, or in the spiritual practices that I have studied such as Catholicism, and Religious Science, it has been taught to only speak of the good.

I am one of the most positive individuals I know. However, that being said I am here to say that it is important to speak on the not so good too.

We can not evolve as beings simply by setting intentions, saying mantras and/or, affirmations, and declarations. There is a law of attraction that is also acting, and impacting our deepest subconscious minds, and bringing about that which we are steeping in.

We must speak to it, to that part of our mind set that may be falling back into old patterns. We must not run from it by ignoring it, rather to acknowledge it, and welcome it, embrace it, merge with it, and see it as wholly a part of our holy experience.

I recently had the blessing of being part of a Forgiveness workshop with Felicia & James Jeffley at the East Bay Church. It was called First Forgiveness.

Due to confidentiality, I can not share what happened in the workshop, but I can say that the exercises assisted greatly in creating a shift for my weights of what I had been holding onto.

The people in my life who weren't showing up in a manner that was for my highest were suddenly able to shift. I had already had a mindset of letting them go in my heart, as I was reminded to love unconditonally by someone who was spending a great deal of their time judging me.

Some loved ones who I hadn't spoken to in several months or years, suddenly appeared, and old connections to old friends of past showed up.

Extended spiritual family of times past seemed to come in at the most perfect of time, to remind me of my love center.
