This past weekend I was blessed to attend a workshop called, Mending your Heart.
It entailed four classes three hours each with two hours of yoga asana practice and one hour of Native American ceremony including; talking circle, exercises in communication, forgiveness, connecting, listening and speaking from your true heart, chanting and singing and a purification water ceremony, it was beyond beautiful and transformational on all levels!
I have been asking the universe for sometime now for assistance on how to feel and live through my heart and this weekend I got my answer.
I was able to identify where my stagnation's were, feel what they did to my body and energy field and how I allowed them to dictate my life in a non-beneficial overly protective way.
Michael Sharp always says "what one man can do" and this weekend that took on a whole new meaning for me. What I can do is forgive. I can courageously go into those scary places that wanted so desperately to be shielded and forgotten and gently remove the armor and lay my hands upon my wounds and say "I love you" to assure these old hurts and pains that its okay, you are completely safe and accepted, I honor all you have done to assist me the best way you knew how to at the time but now it is time to let go.
What one man can do, forgive. Break the pattern of protection that no longer serves and heal the past, to do this for yourself is to do it for others and that powerful ripple is bigger than any anger and pain. I deeply deeply feel and have experienced the power of love. I forgive myself, I let my heart out of its iron box and I feel the power of this act of freedom, this act of merging my heart with the rest of my being and I can see all the pain in the world coming into the presence of this love and being washed away in an instant!
In 3 three short days I have come to know the answer to every question I ever asked, I have come to understand and accept every piece of my individual puzzle and I have come to a place now where I can look at myself in the mirror and say "I love you, every last bit of you, you are beautiful, powerful and magnificent!"
And now feeling so deeply this love and respect for myself I can go out and bathe others is love and hold that space for them to come into their own self-love, but I know and believe that if I am there then we are all already there and there is nothing left to fear!
With gratitude from the farthest part of the universe to the deepest core of the earth I honor each and everyone one of you.
Aho, a truth has been spoken.
