I’m not totally sure when I started shutting down…
I'm not sure
when it started for me...
Best I can figure, it was a few things that built up over time:
The boys in elementary school who always chose the other girls over me...
Being called a 'weirdo' when I shared the simultaneous spiritual experience I had with my best friend when I was 12...
Coming up with the idea, the plan and the song for our soccer camp talent show around the same age --- only to be NOT selected to actually be in it...
Being teased about what I felt like wearing (which has always been a little... 'different'), or about this body part or that flaw...
Being told to "toughen up"...
MANY times.
We start out so sure of who we are --- and over time, this life, and the people around us who are just as Over-Masculinized and conditioned into the Wound as we are, start to chip away at our Essence, and we start to willingly put ourselves in a box designed to 'fit the mold.'
We start to stifle and repress Who We Are so that we can try to belong,
try to fit in, try to keep ourselves safe from judgment, ridicule, rejection.
But all that actually does is take us farther and farther and farther away from who we're meant to be, and the life we're meant to be living.
I cannot STRESS to you enough how important it is to find, Remember, Reclaim our original Essence,
who we really are, what makes us uniquely US.
It's one of the reasons all of my Golden Goddess clients get my Soul Codes process --- because when we start showing up as who we really ARE,
we feel better,
we are felt as more authentic,
more MAGNETIC,
and the Universe brings us more
of what's actually meant for us.
(Because when we're trying to be someone else's Frequency,
how is it supposed to bring us what's designed for OUR Frequency?)
One aspect of this return to Who We Are is what some people call Inner child work.
And it certainly CAN feel like 'work' sometimes --- sometimes wading through the muck of our conditioning can feel like chipping away thousands of years worth of mud and rubble (because it is that, energetically, Archetypally) --- but the cool part is, it doesn't HAVE to feel like that.
It can also feel like PLAY.
Because that's one of our primary, original, and most INNATE Energies:
Play.
So I was super intrigued when the lovely Toni Black invited me to talk about exactly that in her new free series, "Set Your Inner Child Free."
Join me, Devorah Spillman, Alana Pratt and a bunch of other beautiful Souls as we talk about PLAY as a form of healing,
about our purest, most original Essence as a form of Freedom --- I even guide you through a Shamanic Journey to retrieve an aspect of your Essence.
Come play. :)
