Part two of Episode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal love. This episode was prompted by my friend and mentor Kaya Usher's comments this morning when she said, people, places and things can wait for your answer. A powerful reminder that we can wait for our own best answer, which may take some time, as we come into alignment with our own source connection, and not in reaction to the timeline or agendas of others.
People can often hide behind responses, patterns and programs that are not serving humanity. As we encounter these people, places and things, how can we choose to embody what we truly want to see in this world. How can we speak or act in a way that will lead to more love in this world. How can we embody the medicine that is needed here and now. In part, we can do that by choosing to take the time we need to witness our own selves in alignment with our own source connection, rather than from the head space where our patterns and programs dwell.
So many of us long to create more sacred spaces for ourselves, our children, for all living beings. We long for deeper connection to our unlimited selves.
How can we navigate the choppiness of differing opinions in order to get to the real gold. That authentic voice of light which lays beyond is more easily perceived when we can authentically witness ourselves first. Then our discernment of who, what and where to contribute to and with comes forward. We can then begin to weave our golden threads into something that is true medicine for this world. We can choose to speak and act from our alignment to the living pulse we are materialize. This brilliant doorway that opens within you to more of your unlimited expression.
How then can we use witnessing to build community with authenticity and love as it's foundation. I think this is the poem I wrote many years ago when I taught Witnessing as a practice helps to innerstand;
Show me who you are and I will celebrate that beauty with you
Show me how you are here expressing
Show me the beauty of your authentic voice witnessed, I long to hear it, as much as I long to hear my own
Show me who you are and my ears will drink in that beauty in you
As I open to see the beauty in myself and allow myself to be witnessed in all the ways I move in this world, I can see more of the dance of love expressing and moving through you
Show me who you are , and we will dance barefoot on the Earth with joy
I will give you all the space you need to show me who you are,
I will witness your grace as you show me that note being sung through you to all of creation
Those notes we sing together with our love as we bring medicine to this Earth
Show me who you are—truly
and we will sing with that beauty in both of us

If we come from this space of witnessing ourselves, and others, we can choose to interact, or not, from that sacred place in ourselves free from programs of division and fear. The action comes from a self love that naturally radiates a deep joy to everything around us.
Much love,
Christine
