This is a reflection of my soul, through the reflection of myself in eyes of the women attending the ReAwakening Retreat in New Zealand, at Mana Retreat with Sheree Carbery.
I stepped into this experience wanting something in my life to change. These endless things, achievements and tasks left me feeling empty and lost, striving and accomplishing great things meant nothing in the end.
I searched
I adventured
I resisted
I ran
I hid.
This weekend challenged me to face into what I was hiding from.
Stepping into this felt too hard.
Unknown froze me with fear.
With gentle encouragement – eyes that see who I am under it all
Patience
Kindness
I am sitting in my own stillness – something that once felt unreachable.
Something inside me is gently reminding me
I am here for a reason.
I am exactly where I need to be
My struggle is not unknown – others feel it too.
In my vulnerability and sharing I can see all parts of me.
I have nothing to be ashamed of!!
All parts of me are welcome.
I don’t have to change me.
I LOVE my vulnerability, my power, my courage to be real.
I am grateful for the reminder of who I am.
