I invite you in to listen to these words today.
To inspire you as you go through times of your soul growth and there are many.
I invite you to walk into nature with me today.
And when you have a moment you can take this guided inspiration with you as you walk into nature or you can listen to it as you're laying down and visualize that we are in nature together.
During soul growth time it can be difficult.
Soul growth is a shedding of the ego.
A shedding of all that we know,
Our personality traits,
Things that we thought who we were or who we had to try and be or who we're trying to become but from an ego perspective.
And most of these traits are personality traits and titles and behaviors we've given to ourselves in order to fit in.
In order to show up,
To look normal,
To be normal,
To feel normal and normal is defined differently for everybody.
But during times of soul growth these barriers start to break down because something new wants to arise in you.
A new truth of who you are.
And soul growth usually occurs when you enter a time in your life when you can no longer uphold those titles you've given yourself.
No longer uphold the person you had to become to survive and no longer want to do the things that are not nourishing to your soul.
Soul growth can feel painful.
It can feel like a grieving process,
Like you're grieving part of yourself.
And this inner tug-of-war of that person you created versus a person who you really are starts to struggle.
This is where the soul growth comes in.
It is a breaking down of all the things that you thought you knew to be true to be untrue.
It is a beautiful experience to surrender deeply into to know oneself more.
To become back into alignment with who you are at a higher level.
And as we walk through the forest listen to the wind.
The wind is there to remind you to move away from the head and into the heart.
As a wind blows over you it moves away all the energy that has been around your body keeping you contained in this thought pattern looping around and around and around in the mind.
It reminds you to gently move from the mind down into the heart to feel the truth so that it may share more truth with you.
And at first you may toggle back and forth from the head to the heart to the heart to the head and eventually you will settle in the heart because it will feel more loving more nurturing more supportive.
When we're in the journey of the head the lower mind we tend to become lonely we tend to have more questions than we do answers.
We tend to become confused but as I was reminded on my walk today listening to the water to the leaves blowing the smell of the flowers in the air it can be easy if we are allow ourselves to be in our heart which is a portal for our soul we can start to flow easier we can start to follow our own guidance we can even tap into our own clear senses our own intuition and here resides the truth and here spirit guides the soul and here we can feel safe and here we can feel clear and here we can feel joy and always in here it is the right place your normal your uniqueness as the Sun was shining down on me I was reminded about the miracles of being in nature how the Sun not only helps the plants and the trees and the earth to grow but how it also feeds my cells rejuvenates me and creates a spark in my heart that makes me smile and as I was in that moment standing in this forest the Sun coming in through the trees the rays upon my head I can feel my heart open more and more I can feel me surrendering more and more to my soul to listen and the lump that was in the throat that often occurs when we go through through through growth started to subside through tears nature holds you and allows you to feel exactly the way that you need to without shame without judgment but with love if you tap into the energies of nature during your walk literally feel the trees energies as you walk by them you will start to feel cleansed and more at peace and ease within your body it is normal to feel this is the language of the soul feeling visualizing this language of the mystery allow yourself to take the time to walk in nature to allow your soul to grow during this time to allow the feelings to arise knowing that you are held so deeply and that you are loved and that on the other side of the growth that's more light it's more of you there's more of your brilliance luminous you coming through it gets easier and easier until one day all you're doing is listening to the heart and the heart and soul is giving the mind instructions as I continued to walk I heard the waters flowing I allowed my hand to go in the water and as I did I felt cleansed I felt at one I brought flowers with me as an offering to spirit for always guiding me I blew all that I wanted to surrender pain that I was feeling and the gratitude for the growth into these petals and threw them into the water and watch them float knowing that all is done don't rush the process allow it to move through you the way that it needs to move through you in your own time and as I walked home I felt better lighter even if you have to walk longer take your time and the steps now that you take on your way back home you know every step you'll be walking more into the light of who you are and feel more supported I hope these words inspire you during soul growth time and to remind you that it is human to grow that it is human to evolve into our highest being and that it is human to be your unique self and to follow your own normal allow this walk to integrate when you get home perhaps if time permits you can take a bath you can write or sit in silence with a tea and just be many blessings on this day to you may you continue to radiate your light into the world thank you for listening
