When you love another you are loving an expression of source, which is an embodiment of GOD but also a reflection of SELF because all of source is one and is contained within each part like a fractal. The more we attune ourselves with the vibration of source the closer we become to pure embodiment, which is naturally recognized by others, sometimes consciously but in many instances subconsciously. When we recognize that vibration in others (however it may be expressed) we are experiencing the frequency of love, because source is pure primordial love, and we all have the ability to tap into that recognition.

TRIGGER WARNING: I’m compelled to share what’s on my heart because the truth is I’m struggling and I know I’m not the only one who struggles with body image. I’ve been pretty unhappy with my weight most of this year and I feel like it’s only getting worse as the year drags on and this feels like a more permanent state of being. I weigh more than I have at any point in my life and it’s very triggering. For me these wounds run deep and are directly linked to my mother, who is obsessive regarding her standards of “beauty”. She obsessed about her own weight (and mine) as far back as I can remember. When I was 10-years-old I hit puberty and my mom promptly put me on Slim Fast because she told me I was getting chubby. The degree to which she critiqued and criticized me (and abused the word “fat”) is difficult to quantify. I struggled with extremely restrictive eating most of my childhood and barely weighed 100 lbs throughout most of my teens and 20’s. Even at my most fit I always felt “fat” - her word not mine though it’s ingrained in my psyche.

I was riding a natural high last night after a day of restorative yoga and meditation. Just as I left meditation class a friend called and invited me to dinner nearby. When I arrived he was sitting with a young woman and two middle-aged men, one of whom was glaringly drunk. I quickly learned the drunk was the owner of the restaurant. As soon as I sat down he began acting a fool with a barrage of suggestive comments. I said very little and mostly observed as I found the whole thing comical. About 15 minutes in, after a few indifferent remarks from my end, he offered me a very large sum of money to go home with him and seduce his wife. He also made it a point to declare he had a “Sub-Saharan African” c*ck. None of this impressed me in the slightest nor was I offended. I watched in amusement. But here’s the point…

I don’t typically post quotes but this powerful message came through loud and clear during Kundalini Yoga this morning. I’ve definitely been grappling with my own shadow during this eclipse portal. The energy has been really intense and I know I’m being called to consider how I integrate my shadow for the highest expression of truth. We tend to label our thoughts and even suppress them at times when they feel uncomfortable but the reality is WE ARE NOT OUR THOUGHTS and we don’t have to attach so strongly to them. There is the observed mind (thought) and there is the higher Mind, the impartial observer. We often attach to what we observe as if it defines us, when in reality we are the observer, holding space without judgment. I’ve always loved Osho’s analogy - your mind is a house and your thoughts are just visitors passing through. So perhaps try not to inflict self-judgment when thoughts arise that you would otherwise label as bad or wrong. Simply let them come and let them go. My higher Mind provided this reminder today and I respond with gratitude every time it speaks 🙏💖✨
