“Courage is an act of grace when it is not required; it originates from an inner necessity to honor, love, and cherish people, and respect oneself.” ― Kilroy J.
I truly believe we are all meant to be in a deep place of constant reverence to oneself throughout this life. Unfortunately, we have been taught to believe that this is unnecessary, selfish, or to be the last thing on our list of things to do.
The world is flooded now with this premise of self-care, but what is this truly?
Yes, self-care can be many different things to many different people and I always think the importance around self care is the energy you bring to it. Weather you find this care in sitting and enjoying a cup of tea or getting a massage or dong the gardening. There are no rules to this life, but what I think is important is the way the act is played out. If we are needing some deep restoration from life and we find a calling to go to, say; the salon to get our nails done, this is a lovely act of service but if we can't be conscious in the awareness of honouring ourself within the act then is it worth it in the first place?
Finding the withinin these moments I believe is integral to truly reaping the benefit of the self love act.
Checking in with oneself to truly understand how we are feeling, how we are receiving life and how we can do so to its fullest.
So how do we achieve this sense of awareness?
First and foremost we need to begin with the elements that allow us to then show up consciously in our day to day life.
For example if we don't have the bodily tools to know how to truly slow down then even if we are having a massage for "self-care" and our mind is racing just the same as it would in other aspects of our life then we are in a state of stress and not rest, therefore not getting the true benefit of this space we are trying so deeply to connect to.
If the roots of the flower are not in soil that is nourishing for it to bloom and grow it will eventually struggle to survive.
Our foundations are the catalyst for living all of our life in this stress free place of conscious awareness. But we have to find time to sit and be still in our within to then find a deeper place of healing within the parameters of everyday life.
Yes, this will ebb and flow with the seasons but our strong roots will carry us back to the place that truly nourishes us.
Allow me to guide you to this within.
From November I'm offering a free consultation to guide you into your own unique conscious space, because I believe we are all so individual and truly no practise should be identical. A personalised approach is my main focus as it weaves the web of your deepest, nourishing state to carry into all of those pivotal parts of existence on this earth.
If you'd like to explore this together please send me an email and we will arrange a time to connect and discover your own true path to the within.
many blessings,
