Let the light in.
MARCH 2020
Let the light in. Let it shine bright. It is yours for the taking.
We grow up with a lot of “no’s”, “you’re not enough’s” and “don’t stick out’s”…we become conditioned to play small, to blend in and step out of the spotlight. Those messages are received and held heavy in our hearts, and then they are remembered by the body in ways we might not expect. They show up in our body language, they appear in filtered conversations, and they hold ourselves back from our freest expressions.
It’s the world’s greatest tragedy… you dimming your light.
Here’s a question: What would happen if you let it shine? What if you let the rays of your magic peak through the cracks of clay that were packed on by judgement and shame?
What if your words, your dance, your song, your ideas, your gifts for this world were inside of you just dying to get out, to grace us with it’s glory?
Please let it shine.
Please be as bright as you were born to be…because we are waiting for it. We need it - the world will not be complete without you being all of you.
Take deep breath.
If this resonates, if this wakes up your spirit - then that means there is someone at your door.
Go ahead and answer it. I will hold your hand if you do.
Because sometimes it can be scary to step into our true selves, or rather to step out of what we knew to be us for so long.
As humans, we often resist change - we get comfortable, and we stop drawing out of the lines because we don’t want to be misunderstood, or worse…rejected.
Now, let’s dance with this idea:
What if the opposite were true? and you had permission to do the rejecting…to say:
no, i choose to let me light shine.
i am enough, and i am complete in my being.
i will stick out, because there is no one like me, there has never been someone like me, and there will never be someone like me.
Consider this your permission slip to be exactly who you were born to be.
To shine as you are. To sparkle and fly free.
Your breath fills your lungs so that you can exist on this earth in this time. Use your precious breaths to be the you your soul was destined to be.
Plant this seed in your heart today:
We honor our bodies, make friends with our minds, and listen to our hearts so that we may shine our brightest light.
What can you do to love your body today?
How can a deep breath feed flowers to your brain?
When your heart speaks to you, what does it say?
Take a deep breath and answer these questions in a notebook. Repeat daily. And let that notebook or journal be your safe space of expression…be a witness to your growth as you hear what the container of your light needs. Your commitment to self is the wick to your flame.
Let that light shine.
WITH LOVE,
K
