One of the most important pieces of guidance that I share is how deeply important it is to go within.
What I mean by "going within" is quiet inner reflection. Time to be in a space of self consideration. In some spaces it is to "sit".
This is not meditation.
I am talking about focused intentional pondering of your inner world.
Why is this important?
Your inner world is where the truth of who you are lives. Unmuddled by outside noise, opinions and beliefs, the brilliance of who you really are lives on the inside. We are not our things, we are not our labels or even our skin color. We are so much much more.
"your inner world Is where truth of who you are lives."
In modern spirituality we use the term "your Higher Self" we may even say "your GodSelf". I believe this needs no explanation as to what that means but what I will share is that in this space of authenticity no wound can live here. No chaos, no pain, no problem can come to this space and go unresolved nor can any question go unanswered. The Higher Self is tethered to the Soul and the Soul to The Absolute.
"no wound can live here"
When you have an aha moment because something has deeply resonated with you, it's most likely because the person or experience has just aligned with your truth. The aha isn't you hearing something the new, the aha is you meeting another layer of your authentic self. It is inner agreement inner alignment activated.
If this is so important then why don't we traverse our inner worlds often, if ever. First we don't have time and second it's because we simply don't trust ourselves. We trust outside sources way more than we trust our own inner being.
"We simply don't trust ourselves"
I too am guilty of going here and there's seeking answers outside of myself and every single time I do, I am reminded to go within.
There are institutions dependent on you not trusting yourself. When we don't trust ourselves, time can be leveraged against us, we are easily manipulated and we find ourselves in situations that are difficult and problematic at best.
,Black folks in general are intentionally taught to distrust, it's not safe otherwise. We have internalized and normalized distrust, we have had reason to do so. It is vital to our soul growth that we not remain asleep to ourselves any longer.
We can DisRupt this cycle by first creating a new agreement within. We can speak into this agreement using our power to command authority over our own lives affirming that we are indeed safe to trust ourselves.
Affirm no matter what has been said to you, about you, it can be undone. Affirm all words can be unsaid. Affirm all energetic patterns can be be unattached here and now!
You are worthy of your own trust.
Use the visual meditation below to help you undo and begin to gently ease into a practice of sitting and cultivating trusting yourself. You can begin with the question "what needs to be undone in me" set this intention and then listen/look at the meditation visual. Don't forget to bring your journal for the aha's and spiritual downloads. Start with 5 mins, the meditation is just under 3 mins and is rightfully titled "I Undo". This will give you a 8 min, I like to call it InHer session.
"You are worthy of your own trust"
This is one of the healing tools that I guide my clients in. We use the breath and we settle in to ourselves. This is how your become friends with yourself. This is how you hold space for yourself and this is how you begin to truly value yourself as you touch your own brilliance everyday. You are and have always been the one you have came for.
