Humans are naturally drawn toward beauty, because we long to know more of ourselves. It was spring two years ago when I recorded an episode on this theme, and as I re-listened this morning, I heard myself say that I had just received a "download" (not a word I would use now) that I had not yet integrated. Not a surprise then, that this morning felt very much the same. The only words that come to me are the few that arrived this morning in a poem;
Beloved,
then those days arrive
when you absorb so much love
you are drunk with the wonder of
who we truly are
Baptizing yourself in a river of grateful tears

In this episode there is a new introduction, followed by a reprise of episode 168. Re-listening was a great reminder for me and I trust for you there is something to remind you in your own journey.
It takes courage to see the wonder of who we truly are.
How it is that we can surrender into the beauty beyond the beauty we thought we knew? The first question that arises within our human self is how to move this through your body and into your life in a way that integrates into your everyday existence. It takes courage to see the wonder of ourselves because it means that so much of who we thought we were, including the "good" parts of ourselves, needs to go. The blinders need to come off or we cannot hope to see our own brilliance.
The invitation is to notice where the resistance in you is — turning to meet that part and then going beyond what you thought was the best of you.
Sacred self care is opening to find more of ourselves. We're not fixing, because in this moment we are becoming the creator self by leaving behind the limiting beliefs and practices and images we have held onto. We are in the process of freeing ourselves.
We are stepping into more of our true brilliance, partnering with the Earth, and then with others.
We are the song that is being sung. We are the flowers that continue to bloom and we cannot be stopped. Our bodies already recognize and respond to the beauty beyond the beauty we thought we knew.
Much love, Christine
