It’s so common to experience the same learning coming up again and again within us. Like we have to keep covering the same old ground that we thought we had dealt with.

And this is true, we are working with the same old ingredients that our conditioning formed. However what is not always obvious, is that when we are truly doing our inner work, when we are awakening and growing and gaining awareness, the work each time it re surfaces, is at deeper and deeper levels.

We are not back at the beginning. We are expanding and advancing and strengthening our clarity.

Recognise who you are, your heart and celebrate all you have to offer. You are worthy of love.
Affirm: ‘I AM WORTHY OF LOVE’.

“To know that you are a prisoner of your mind is the dawn of wisdom.”

Yes we need to find balance and health within our emotional expression in looking after ourselves and others. However so often this comes with the notion of not being too emotional, or feeling like there is something wrong with our emotions.

What we resist persists. So when we can find allowing curiosity, compassion and acceptance with how we feel, this changes the landscape of our experience.

How much do we think we know someone and where they are at, and how much do we go on ideas or judgements that we’ve formed that aren’t necessarily grounded in connection and communication?

Boundaries are important when we can see unhealthy relational patterns and yet let’s be aware not to disconnect and isolate ourselves through our own thinking and assumptions.

Even personal growth and spirituality can be unconsciously used as a bypass for being deeply available, vulnerable and close in our relationships.

Also a strong attachment to our beliefs and ideas can create division. We can often be so focused on what we think is right or the truth, we forget to be kind.

Relationships are where the rubber meets the road for the things we might learn, expand or improve in our growth. They are where it all gets truely put to the test.

Of course it’s important to dedicate time to ourselves, to our self care, spiritual practices and taking space, and yet it is important to recognise the right balance of this and the relational health it creates with our loved ones.

Our connectedness is important to everyone and such a gift.

May love wash out every recess in your being that has tucked away any harboured pain.

Truth is prior to any concept.
