Healing doesn't have to be a slog. It doesn't have to be 'work'. It can be courageous, curious, exciting and exhilarating. Check out this YouTube Live that I did on this very topic and lemme know your thoughts.

I had an awesome conversation with a friend and of course, non-coincidentally the same thing came up that I just posted about on IG the other day around: Not Trusting Your Truth. To be clear, I do believe Trusting ourselves and our Souls is one of the highest forms and signs of healing, as well as one of the highest conditions of our relationship with ourselves. However, not all truths are to be trusted, while they may be honest, the place from which they're coming still may not necessarily be true, as in categorically, absolutely, written-in-the-fabric-of-the-universe true. My friend put it brilliantly, don't believe everything you think. The voice that says to just have one more drink, cookie, hour of sleep - don't trust it. The voice that says the other person is out to get you and trying to sabatoge you - don't trust it. The voice that says your Mom and Dad hated you - don't trust it. The reality is - most of the voices we hear in our heads, and thoughts and think, and feelings we feel, are coming from a deeply wounded place within our ego that abides by and is founded on scarcity, shame and separation. Therefore, the thoughts it thinks and the beliefs it believes is just untrue. Stay savage! Stay Wild! Keep exploring.

I've been going live on Youtube recently here's a video explaining more about what I mean by not trusting yourself. I'll give you the TLDW version: I'm not saying don't trust yourself. I'm saying don't trust the first most impulsive thought or desire because its probably coming from a place of wounding, scarcity, shame, separation and un-safety. Until someone has crossed the thresholds into adulthood (taking extreme responsibility and ownership for one's Soul and their Soul's Dharma) and grieved their childhood, and not only become aware of their wounds but sufficiently healed them at a somatic level, then the wounds are probably still playing out by getting the human that carries them to act them out. Trusting ourselves is now more important than ever, but the important distinction to make is WHICH VERSION OF OURSELF are we trusting? Because if its the wounded version we're trusting then its almost certainly untrue. The key is taking a breath, questioning the veracity of the first thought, and waiting to hear the voice behind the voice. THAT'S THE VOICE THAT'S SPEAKING FROM A PLACE OF DEEPER TRUTH.

One of the primary principles and values here in this community as we explore the Inner Wilderness is Meditation. And this morning for my meditation. I stayed in one place for 30 min. But GAWDDDD DAYUMMMM did I fidget my way through it. I can't help but think that incessant movement, even action, but especially fidgety-ness is our bodies unconscious attempt at avoiding pain. Why do we avoid pain? My opinion is that we're pre-occupied with performing perfection so we can be loved and accepted have our pain soothed instead. Just my thoughts. What do y'all think?
