Lotus Flower (Unfoldment) and Meadow (Vulnerability)
We forget we are spirits having a human experience and as spirits are naturally growing and shifting. Yes, most of the time these changes are subtle and unnoticeable at first. Other times they are unmistakable and definitely known. You can't force them either. You must simply open space to allow these changes to occur and now is a great time as we prepare for the New Year at Samhain.
How do we even begin? What can we do? By embracing who we are authentically which for many is daunting. We must allow ourselves to be vulnerable as only through vulnerability may we grow and change. I know how risky and terrifying this can be-I have been very guarded myself regarding my path due to fear of rejection by family members I love dearly but are most certainly intolerable to such religions.
"Authenticity requires vulnerability, transparency, and integrity." -Janet Louise Stephenson
