Awareness and Authenticity: How to Be True to Yourself
You may have heard this before, "be true to who you are". But what does it mean to be true? What does it mean to be you? I'll share my answer for the first question. The answer for the second is up for you to discover, I simply give you the quantum spiritual tools to do so.
The Paradox of Consciousness
Each one of us is like a battery. When we are all charged up, life is electrifying. We find inspiration in the simplest things. Beauty lurks at every corner. We've all felt this state. But ask yourself, for how long are you experiencing this side of life. Is it a day, an hour, a week, a month or simply till breakfast? How do we experience this state of bliss longer?
This bliss state of consciousness is linked to the spiritual paradigm where love, peace and joy emanate from. Developed by David Hawkins, the consciousness scale below depicts the states of being that we as humans experience daily. We move through various states in the day - for a mirad of reasons (and triggers). Our vibrational constant is the average of all these states experienced. Soooo back to the analogy...
On the contrary, when we fall victim to lower emotions. Like not feeling good enough, guilt, fear and the like. These vibrations quite LITERALLY zaps our energy. We then seek to recharge our battery in this state. For relief and recharge, humans run to unhealthy food, drugs, sex, shopping, over sharing and excessive consumerism in the material realm. Yet these lower emotions are giving us the opportunity to sit and notice them. By feeling them, we release their grip on our psyche - which raises our vibration in time.
We've all been there. The desire to run towards relief instead of stting with the uncomfortable feeling. (trust me, I have too MANY times) The initial steps are difficult because the comfort of the ego will be fighting against it. But the profound clarity, power and CALM that moves into your being is sooooo worth is. Key part here is awareness, this is where any meaningful shift begins.
The path to being TRUE to you
To be true to yourself, you must become aware of who you truly are. Which is light consciousness in material form. (for more on this Truth read this) We are all spirit beings having a human experience where we learn, grow and PLAY in this 3D realm. Trueness within Self is cultivated in clear ways -- here are a few, that I've learned from...
🦋Following my Highest Inspiration: what excites you is feedback from Source revealing to you next steps on your path. Whether it is going to a different coffee shop than your usual, creating an art business, going for a run, booking a trip to a new place. These inklings guide you on your path to more authentic expression.
🦋Allowing my Intuition to guide me: Speaking of guide. The intuition is that deep inner knowing without any material confirmation that your 5 physical senses can perceive. This is your innate GPS that you may have neglected or been conditioned to believe that this is not one of the deepest truth. Intuition + Emotions = the dynamic duo of path cultivation
Your intuition nudges you to take or not take a certain action. Your emotions reveal where your vibration is on the scale in relation to actions you take or don't take. We all seek knowledge and validation as humans. Many of us have believed this validation is only from the external world. But your confirmation to prayers is within YOU through intuition. As Florence Shovel Shin profoundly shares "Prayer is you telephoning to God while Intuition is God telephoning back to you."
🦋Listening to my Inner Voice: Within the SILENCE only then does Source speak. From the void is the beginning of the materialization of the world. Similarly, the silence within you is the birthplace of all you desire to manifest - materialize - in your reality. When you are silent, your inner voice becomes louder and more real to your conscious mind. By giving your inner voice greater and greater authority, you will see your life unfold more and more authentically.
In modern life, noise, content, chatting is all around you. We are all inundated by the constant stimulation in which we run to more stimulation to create relief -- paradox much? The real relief is silence, uncomfortable at first yet the cocoon for all things new. Incorporate the habit of silence for 10 mins, and see how your inner voice begins to express itself.
Silence reveals you to you
The recipe for the greatest love story of all is follow your highest inspiration, allow your intuition to guide and listen to your inner voice. This love story is the growing intimacy between you and Source! Releasing the lower ego -- maturing the ego --bonding with the Higher Self. All these are possible from creating a stillness practice. Meditation is a transformative way to tap into your power source and increase awareness of self. Simply by sitting in silence for 10-20 mins. To learn more about this pivotal practice and different types of Meditation, check out my e-guide How to Meditate like a Goddess.
You are a unique aspect of Source energy. Here to authentically explore, create, play and grow to deepen your knowledge of the infinite Source. By accepting yourself fully on your journey, you honor your past, embrace the present and anticipate the future. You are where you are NOW for a reason. There are no accidents in this universe. Even you aligning with this blog post is a confirmation of creative forces at play.
