I’ve been sitting with this question for some time now. I wonder what it is, what it looks like and if it’s the same for everyone? I’ve been thinking about these questions for so long that I feel exasperated at times. How do I step into my power? I saw myself grasping at straws inside those questions. I thought, power must be a symbol of status or financial gain. Maybe it’s the realization of a dream or getting things done, being productive, fearless in my pursuits, and if I fell short of any of that, I wasn’t in my power. It was an exhausting search, depleting me of any power I could’ve possibly had.

Recently, in my practice I was struck by insight! Stepping into my power was not something established outside of myself, and it wasn’t a product of anything I generated to manifest. Taking the first step for me, was defining what my power was or better yet, define what is in my power to practice.

For me, stepping into my power looks like:
- Setting Boundaries
- Going with my personal flow
- Trusting what I feel
- Not settling for anything less
(than what is listed above)

This was a revelation to me, a standard of personal power. “Stepping” into my power had a definition, a face now and “Standing” in my power simply had to be the body, the practice of what the first steps might look like in action. It was clear to me, when you define and begin a practice utilizing your personal power, you find your individual balance and Divine alignment.

​Reconnecting with the Sacred Self does not mean "over-working" and/or doing more. Sacred Self-Care is not the actions of "self care." It is not "to do" for the self but to "BE" the self, vibrating in its highest qualities without waver. In this way, you are not tending to just the body, mind, or emotional parts of you. You are nurturing the self at the level of soul, the relationship with the essence of God that resides inside you. You are cherishing the depths of who you are in that Sacred, spiritual space, fully self-aware and awake. You are honoring the importance of that connection in understanding how to thrive. You are valuing the self as a spiritual spark in the world of humanity, making your mark, by embodying your God-like qualities as an example in-being. These are Sacred acts of consciousness that require a welcoming in, to receive yourself with regard, acceptance, and celebration of ALL parts of you in the most loving, steadfast, and continually refreshing way. Sacred-Self care is a re-birthing process that innovates the experience of ascension. You grow into who you were created to be, firm in the knowledge of who you are, shedding the human experience as you move closer to God and further away from the things of this world that can hold you back. 

The spirit of Divine Alignment is a natural rhythm moving inside the ebb and flow of each moment. When you can identify these beautiful beats of inner acknowledgement and become more familiar with the flow of your truth, you can discern what’s truly best for you. Stepping into this form of right action, establishes a place of personal power that highlights your highest potentials with a gentle support toward what’s right for you in the most authentic way. I often wonder why being gentle with the self can be a source of great resistance. How the neglect of emotional needs has become a source of comfort in which, "where you are and where you want to be" can be so threatening to the overall value of growth. At what point do you embrace the natural flow and rhythms of your personal truth and fully embody your authentic self? 

When you don’t seek your natural rhythms first, you stop the inner current of wisdom binding easily, to the downward spirals of the relentless, “I should.” The inner dialogue that sounds like, (I want to do this, but I should do that. I need this but I should settle for that. I feel this, but I should feel that…) and conjures up versions of the self that are defined by others. Thus, creating a lens viewed through perceived expectations, distorted beliefs, and realized/unrealized traumas. “I should” statements can be vague and slippery versions of reality. (You should all over yourself and lose sight of what you need. You should all over yourself and compromise what you value. You should all over yourself and what’s most important becomes insignificant.) "I should" statements moves you further away from what’s right and true for you thereby, depleting your energy and sense of personal power. 

The truth lives inside you. It flows with subtle communications in support of your health and well-being. The truth’s gentle rhythms guide you toward the direction of a more balanced energy and a sense of renewed power. What you think you “should do” in one moment, will “feel right” in the next. When you observe statement's like, “I should” you can notice it often present's a dilemma between two opposing thoughts yet, inside the opposition there's always a choice. There is no indecision or lack of motivation in the natural rhythm and flow of Divine Alignment. Your body understands more of what you need in the truth of the moment than your mind likes to think about what you should do. The choice is clear, even if the mind doesn’t accept what’s true. Choosing Divine Alignment is a much stronger foundation to rest on.

When we feel safe it provides a secure, stable, openness to love and to be loved. It offers an experience of emotional availability to self, others, and environment that encourages the development of the whole child or person. If we’re lucky, we get to experience that deep sense of comfort in childhood and grow into people that are very comfortable with themselves, having an ability to nourish deeper connections, explore with an open wonder and curiosity and take the necessary risks in relationships that are recognizably healthy as well as, identifying when they’re not. Feeling safe, gives us the courage to step into our power 100% without question, to feel our innate goodness and be authentic in the complete wholeness of who we are. Simply put, feeling safe makes the experience of connection possible.

It’s a common expression that most people don’t feel safe much of the time. The lack of that initial experience can trigger feelings of fear, doubts, personal insecurities, and even emptiness. It’s those feelings, and the emotional, energetic attachments to them, that prevent the understanding of connection and experience of what we feel. We shut down, hold back, feel stuck, freeze/fight/ escape, or act on impulse rather than our wisdom. Many of us never heard, “you’re okay or it's okay, that you’re not alone because someone believes in you and standing by to help and support. Many of us have not been reassured so we can be self-assured.

The importance in feeling safe helps you connect to yourself, own what’s important to you and know, without a shadow of doubt, that YOU ARE IMPORTANT. What you feel, need, value, and know are all important. It’s so important, so precious, that you protect it and keep yourself safe. Feeling safe helps you find that space inside yourself that allows you to just be (a natural phenomena before you were born) so, you cultivate the skills to love yourself differently and protect what’s important to you.​

We sometimes hear the phrase, “I hate to break it to you…” because the truth hurts. It can yield an undeniable power that interrupts a false belief and stop an illusion dead in its tracks. It inhibits falsehoods, and course corrects internal stories or personal narratives bringing to light a new understanding. The truth changes perspective like lightening stuns the ground, highlighting the present moment with a newfound clarity. It is a Divine force to be reckoned with in action and builds momentum until completion. It doesn’t apologize for itself and can break-through the walls of the personality, revealing the breakthrough we often seek.
 
The truth is, we are all divinely fractured in one way or another, that’s the beauty of being human. As human beings, we are meant to build toward the understanding of wholeness by embracing the truth of our spirit-self to manifest it through the physical experience. We sometimes think it’s human nature to strive toward something greater. The truth is, it’s the spirit inside that recognizes misalignments and moves you toward your whole-self and the human nature, just comes along for the ride. The experience of brokenness connects us to our desire to be whole. Underneath those fractured parts is your truth, the reality of your purpose, and the path toward your unique journey into a complete being or enlightened soul.
 
The truth is electric! It shatters the system for us to wake us up, to see the light. The truth is strong in conviction, it removes the propensity to hold on to things with no purpose and obliterates old paradigms that hold us back. There is great intention for the break-through, those moments of brokenness. It highlights our authentic, soul-self, bringing into focus that we must serve ourselves well first. As we work toward our own wholeness, we can be of better service to the world.

 As I faced my Maker at the last judgment, I knelt before the Lord in pieces like squares of a quilt torn and lain in many piles on the floor. An angel sat next to me as I weaved my squares together into a tapestry that reflected my life. Each square, labeled with stories that had been difficult, challenges, temptations, and hardships that left giant holes in the threads that held my life together. As I began to connect the pieces, I noticed how ragged and empty the squares were and as I gazed upon my own life, I felt disheartened and dismayed. "What would God think of me and what I made of my life?"
 
The time came for my life to be displayed, held up to the light of God and for the truth to be seen. My angel looked upon me and nodded for me to rise. My gaze dropped to the ground in shame. I felt embarrassed to present my life to the Lord. "It was full of holes!" I had to start over many times and often struggled with giving up or losing sight with what God had placed in my heart. Somehow, I didn’t believe that I could do it, whatever it was. I spent many days and nights praying, asking for help, guidance, and direction. God would answer and show me his face in many ways and in that moment, I believed in something but somehow, I would get swallowed up again in that relentless doubt in myself, my gifts, of who God created me to be. I felt guilty that I didn’t believe in myself, in my path, or God in those moments when my life seemingly fell apart at the seams.
 
Now, I had to face the truth. The story of my life was what it was, and I had to accept it. I rose before the Lord and slowly lifted the quilt of my life with all the holes, up to the light. I was afraid to look into the eyes of God. I feared disapproval and disgust. God said, “Open your eyes.” I took a deep breath and slowly revealed myself. I gasped at the sight. I was struck with awe. What I saw was the most astonishing, most beautiful image before me. Light flooded into the many holes in the tapestry of my life. The Lord stood before me, with love in His eyes. He said, “I was always there even when you didn’t see Me.” “Each point of light is when you stepped aside and allowed Me to shine through, until there was more of Me than there was of you."
 
There is no doubt in Faith yet, life is so full of surprises and twists and turns that it can be hard to take hold of something. It's easier to doubt then to hold fast onto something greater than ourselves. Sometimes, I wonder if doubt is what we hold to because we don’t know what will happen from one moment to the next but Faith, is not about knowing the future. It’s a belief with strong conviction in something for which there may be no tangible proof. Faith is the opposite of doubt. It is a complete trust, a confidence, a reliance, or devotion in what we hope for with the assurance that God is working on it, even if we don’t see it with our own eyes. Faith is felt, our inner navigator and demonstrates an unwavering certainty in that knowing. Faith is strength when we feel we have none and it’s hope when all seems lost. Faith isn't just something to grip hold of when times are tough. It's a continuous devotion of Divine assurance. It's a stream of consciousness that moves through our minds seamlessly. It is the beacon of light that patches up all the dips, rips and holes we may face in life. Faith is the light shining through you until there is more of God than there is of you.

Faith Holds the Pieces Together, 11.22.2021

These statements are hard to swallow but they represent the voice of rejection, the wound that aches inside the body. It speaks loud and clear through the mind and can feel as though it’s behind the scene's taunting you. It shows up as blaming, shaming, critical, judgmental self-talk and is relentless to endure. As children, we had yet to develop a discerning ability to separate a sense of self-worth from the actions modeled by others. Therefore, inadvertently, converging the dysfunctional behavior of others with a sense of personal lack, severely distorting the view of the self at a fundamental level. The experience, fractures the connection to the foundation of self and uproots the possibilities of understanding who we are. It plants an unhealthy seed inside the psyche that says something’s intrinsically wrong with the self. We begin to believe, that love is not deserved but that also, there is no love to be given. Once that seed fully blooms, it obliterates the self and corrupts any experiences to follow. That severed connection or dis-connection makes it hard to believe that we are deserving of any goodness and makes it increasingly difficult to feel whole.

I was in the beginning stages of frozen shoulder when I went for a massage. The pain was so severe, it was hard to stay present. My mind kept falling into channels of stuck energy that felt impossible to move through but I was determined. I stayed focused. I took really deep breaths. The pain was so great, I could hear myself screaming in my head. Then for a moment, a voice rose into my consciousness and through the pain, it said, “I deserve love.” The statement didn’t faze me in that moment but I repeated it in my mind. It became a silent mantra, “I deserve love, I deserve love, I deserve love…” I didn’t stop. I wouldn't stop, even through the pain, I just kept going.

Eventually, the pain did subside and I was able to tolerate the massage more. Then, I thought about the message. I took it literal, “through the pain, I deserve love.” I thought, the pain I feel deserves love… The pain deserves love… Pain deserves love. If I can accept what’s there, then I can give myself what I need to feel better. I relaxed deeper into the massage, into the message, into myself than the voice came back, but this time, I heard something different. It said, “I deserve TO BE loved.” That I, the person, the self, deserves to be loved. To be loved. Be Loved. Beloved. I’m the beloved. Love is inherent in me.

The messages were so powerful that I got the sense they were the key to unlocking the healing potentials of the rejection wound. I realized these statements were not separate, they were connected and they weren’t just for me, but for the world. They are the missing links that establish a new connection, a self-connection. That the experience of pain separates us from the experience of love. It disconnects us from the whole and what we deserve. Once you get that, the magic happens. A new foundation anchors in the sense of self and you reclaim your worth, you take back your innocence, and that emptiness inside starts to fill with love. All those disconnected parts start to link back differently, into a state of wholeness. It's Acceptance and Love that heal the wound of rejection.

We all can struggle with worry about our future. When this anxiety overtakes, it’s hard to feel secure and confident in yourself, your path, in God or your purpose. We can lose sight of what’s in front us and land in a state of constant questioning. Blessings can be hard to come by. Sometimes, we’re not a witness to them. They may be behind the scenes or we just don’t pay attention because our focus is somewhere else. When this happens, I go back to my practice.

I chose an activation and meditation set that works on clearing the arc line. Over a 5-day period, I was witness to many blessings in my life. Then on day-4, I was given a solid statement that stopped me in my tracks. I wasn’t shown a bunch of “stuff” that was either given to me nor did I receive information that changed my perspective. I distinctly heard, “I am a blessing.”

On day-5, I realized I was given the trifecta of favor; I've been blessed. I am blessed. And I am a blessing. I was shown through my dedication in practice, I was infused with blessings, protection and Grace. That from all the experiences I may have witnessed, I am loved by something greater than just the human experience but more so, by the Divine. To know that I am a blessing in the eyes of God is not only favor but an act of approval, like when your love asks your parents for their blessing of the union. In those times when inner struggle strikes, it disconnects me from the truth, not in having to look for blessings but to know that I AM the BLESSING.

- And you are too.

The thought of healing can conjure up quite a bit of emotion in a person that’s been hurting for a long time. We want to heal and we want it now. However, that kind of thinking creates expectations not natural to the state of healing and the deeper connections that helps us transform. Some believe, a healing experience should be instant with the immediate absence of physical or emotional discomfort that requires no effort on their part moving forward. Nobody really tells you this but sometimes the healing hurts more than the wound. There are stages to healing like there are stages to growth and all of which, can be temporarily uncomfortable, even painful as we regain our natural state in being. As you begin to repair the modes of survival, the nervous system recalibrates and the differences between can feel foreign. You might notice you want to sleep more or are not feeling up to doing things you once liked. You might even feel unsure about your direction and find yourself at a standstill. This part of transitioning in the healing process can have you feel disoriented and thoughts can be more self-critical than nurturing. You start questioning yourself, whether there’s something wrong with you or somehow, you just missed the mark.

I believe, the healing experience is rooted in resolving emotional trauma. E-motion is energy in motion and makes up your inner source and well-spring of energy, you either allow it to fuel you forward or you hold it back. It’s your personal, internal barometer system that informs you about the quality of your energy, personal interactions, and gives you impactful experiences that you’ll never forget. The human habit is to not feel, especially, when what we feel doesn’t feel good. We’ve learned safety measures to help us cope by using blocking strategies like suppression, rejection, and disconnection. Inadvertently, those gestures retraumatize the wound in the most potent and precious portion of therapeutic potentials. The healing practice is to unlock held in or held back emotional content which, will naturally release wound trauma energy, (i.e., shaking) and its associated feeling, (i.e., disappointment). This means, what you’re working to clear will re-appear, and even, intensify so you can understand how to accept the wound differently, in a more compassionate and nurturing way.

Emotional purging is the process of eliminating emotions that become harmful to you and your life when contained over time, (i.e., anger, grief, resentment, sadness, hurt, loss). The purge is the peak point, the most powerful part of the healing experience. There is a gain in the release and you begin the journey back to your natural state and flow. You get a chance to witness locked-in emotions and feel their specific energetic signature. This allows the pain to be heard in a safe space, in its natural state, so you can truly let it go and free your energetic flow. You become available to your whole-self which is the most essential, integrative part of the clearing and cleansing process. Understand that even the most uncomfortable stages of healing are part of the natural process of release, repair, and integration. It will settle and you will feel more space in your body along with, a new energetic vibration you can rest assured in.

​Emotional Purging- The Peak Point of Healing, 5.22.2021

​Personal responsibility is an essential aspect of your health and emotional well- being. Only you can direct your path and the outcomes of your personal experiences. It's within your right to choose, to stand by your choices, and take the steps necessary to produce what you intend. In order to truly step into your power you have to know yourself well. Taking personal responsibility means that you take control of aspects of your life with a conscious intent to guide your thoughts, feelings, actions and words in your favor. It means you stop blaming; yourself, others, circumstances, the universe, for things you feel unhappy about or are not happening quick enough or even, at a stand-still. You stop complaining to yourself, to others, and actively flip the script to seek solutions. You refuse to sacrifice yourself by giving away power; to others, to circumstances, to family members, to the universe. You stop taking things personally and get personal with yourself. You plant the seed of happiness in your being, everyday, you tend to it, everyday and you realize you make your own happiness. It means you live in the present moment and use the power of intention to direct your life, in your work, in your family life, in your relationships including the one you build with yourself.

Taking care of yourself comes from the choices you make and that supports, the efforts in taking care of others. Healing is the potential of making whole. It is the complete experience of the self manifested, present and powerful. A healthy relationship doesn’t require you to fix another, wait for them to change or reflect back their harmful behaviors, in the hope they’ll act differently. When you take personal responsibility for your choices, you direct your path differently, not by circumstance but by your personal standard of value. Take control of your life and live according to your values. Your thoughts will be more productive and you’ll feel better. It’s okay to take care of yourself first.

Frequency and energy are not the same things but they are related. Energy generates light and frequency determines the strength or weakness of that light. Frequency is the energetic feedback and tuning in, aligns your consciousness with the source of light or (energy) inside you. Therefore, tuning in becomes such an important focus of practice because it helps you discern the best way to tend to and take care of your energy.

My yoga practice helps me understand this concept. Sometimes, I need a slower, more meditative practice because I feel overloaded with too much energy that hasn’t been properly grounded. Other times, I feel I need to engage with a more active practice to generate more energy and increase my inner light. Then there are times, I just need to breath and re-harmonize my energy to regain some refreshment and renewal. Tuning in helps us quickly recover, maintain balanced energy, and a sense of wholeness. Frequency is our energetic feedback and a personal guide to inner illumination and soul magnification.

Spiritual connection is not about putting one source of energy into another. It is a much deeper experience than just a simple exchange. Connecting spiritually is an honest, tangible sense in feeling the internal thread of action moving right through the essence of your being and plugging it into the deepest values by which you live by. In other words, spiritual connection is a conscious awareness of your natural state in being. It is your most beautiful and powerful form, the pure and unconditional part of you that is unchangeable and ever-lasting. It is the blueprint and example part of you that is clear, without conditioned responses, dysfunctional patterns, learned behaviors or triggers. It is the direct line of action we tune into regularly that includes the awareness of our emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. We do our best to honor our needs by attuning to the frequency of which they may express. This is in part intuitive, by virtue of connection but when you spiritually connect, you’re actively joining with that intuitive information by moving into a heightened state of being or what is called your authentic self.

Your needs correspond with your personal values; things, concepts and ideas you consider to be good, important, and valuable in making your life better. When you’re clear about what you value at any given time, you demolish any confusion and instantly align with an inner sensation of certainty. You know what you want, what you deserve, and you are clear when the things most important to you are in front of you. Manifestation is proof of spiritual connection and that direct line of action helps you know what fulfillment feels like. When you live life spiritually connected, you value your time and use it wisely. You give of yourself to meaningful activities and social relationships that reflect the same. You are clear on what matters to you, with a strong internal compass that alerts you when you’re getting off track. You check in with yourself frequently to address any unmet needs or unresolved issues. You are honest with yourself and others. You can feel the warmth of inner fulfillment moving through you because you are tending to your deepest needs in an honest, soulful way.

This continuous stream of vital energy, stimulates an avenue of refined nourishment. You are present in both your humanness and fully vested in your spiritual self. The internal exchange roots your personal beliefs with an overall sense of purpose. In this kind of connection, you can taste the strength of your power in the complete being-ness of your honest self.

Fire is a sexy element. It’s romantic, mysterious, alluring, curious, it blazes its own path and sometimes, even unstoppable. It consumes, terrifies, awakens, enlightens, motives, and transforms, it purifies. Fire is power and when you cultivate your own internal fire, it becomes personal power. The Third Chakra emanates the energy of fire, the Agni Tattva. It is the center of will-power, command, and control. It is the sun or shining jewel at the center of your being, your light. It is the force behind manifestation, the power given to take action and cause change. Third Chakra fire burns karmas, energetic blocks, emotional fears and attachments. It gives us the strength of commitment, discipline, and the ability to manifest by carrying out our intentions. It is the power to digest and assimilate both physically and emotionally and be nourished by the experiences as a whole.

Fire is the great motivator, an agent of healing and transformation. It's both the energy to protect yourself and the confidence to get what you need. It's the power that builds relationships, businesses, and empires, as well as the force that destroys them. When fire is present it works to define and refine your personal source of inner light. It will help you find your power and teach you how to use it for the greatest good. There is a saying, “You want to get rid of your anger. If you get rid of your anger, you won’t be able to digest your food.” The same capacity that causes us to get hot under the collar is what enables us to process food into energy and emotion into action. We can use this capacity to burn others, or to purify ourselves, from the inside-out. Strong emotion moves us to cause change, that we may experience a lightness in being and a strength of character because of that change. When the fire inside is not burning bright it can manifest as burnout, exhaustion, lacking motivation. It can also create a potential breeding ground for unused emotional content to lay dormant in the body. Emotional energy stuck in the body can turn inward on the self, producing physical imprints like acne, boils, inflammation and overall pain, leaving behind an energetic quality that is lackluster and lethargic.

Emotions are your navigation system, the barometer by which you sustain your personal power and balance. Sometimes, we perceive intense energy like anger as “bad, negative, or wrong” when the feeling arises into conscious awareness. We become judge and jury, condemning ourselves and experience before we can even grasp the message and potency of the intuitive information. What you feel is not good or bad, positive or negative, right or wrong. It just depends if you use it, in a way that benefits your life, destroys it, or avoid it completely and let it destroy you. Emotions are energy-in-motion informing you from the inside out. Embrace what you feel inside. Trust it. Do not hold onto it or hold it back, modulate it. Be mindful if it turns inward, harming the self. Trust in the wisdom of Third Chakra, the innate motivational system and fire energy to purify and transform. Let it move through you, inform you, spark and empower your person into right action.

The best feeling in the world is to feel wanted. To be a part of something, respected, to be valued and most importantly, connected. Sometimes, we can lose sight of the greatest connection we can ever plug into, ourselves. It’s imperative to build a practice in connecting with yourself. You are the only person that knows you best and often times, we are injected into people, places and things that challenge that inner connection or seemingly discount our inner beauty, our way of being and we lose power by choosing to believe on some level that they’re right. You lose power by choosing to question who you are, who you know yourself to be true. You lose power by seeking approval, spinning inside constant feelings of insecurity with an instability in finding your own natural footing. Realistically, how can you move forward being stuck where you are? How can you create anything new, holding onto what was? How can you ever feel empowered, if you don’t remember you have a choice in who you are? Healing cannot be an option if you don’t decide to shift your focus?
 
When you’re faced with feelings or thoughts of; rejection, being excluded, left out, pushed aside, alone and unwanted. Remember, you have a choice in the outcome of the overall experience. You decide if you want to be included. You decide what you want, what is right for you, and the people, places, and things that line up with that enriching and supporting you in the feelings of comfort, connection, acknowledgement and love. Take time to remember who you are in the face of adversity and despair, to recognize your strength, courage, your power to prevail and keep going. Decide to move on, less the emotional patterning that siphons your inner strength, power, and resolve. You will never lose what you gained inside progress because growth imprints on the soul like rings of wisdom do inside a tree.
 
Decide if you want to be included. Make your decisions on what you do have in your life not on what you think you lost. Move into a worthwhile focus and highlight all that’s worth YOUR time, energy and effort. Understand, rejection is a small part of life and whatever you gained in growth is yours. It can never be taken away, only cultivated or denied. Decide to cultivate yourself, to look at all angles not just the ones that may cause pain. Decide to connect with what fills you and do more of it. Decide to choose in your power, remember how valuable you are, and embrace yourself completely. Decide to build yourself up with positive self-talk and encouragement. Decide to see yourself. Drop the cloak of invisibility and connect with the wholeness in being. When you find yourself in a state of connection, it’s no longer about being included or not, rejected or not, unwanted or not. It becomes more about creating your own space that includes you and deciding to include other people that are the like.

It’s not often that we remember the complete experience of personal unity. It’s not often that we take time to pause within the center of the universe to acknowledge ourselves as the point of reference in great honor of our humanity and our divinity. It’s not often enough, that we allow ourselves to embrace the deeper senses and connect with the greater presence of our innate right to be whole. When you arrive at the place of your heart, you remember the one and only truth, the pure essence of all that is good, complete and ever-lasting.

​If we live in our oneness-heart, we will feel the essence of all religions which is the love of God. 
Forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, brotherhood, and the feeling of oneness are the signs of a true existence. 
– Sri Chinmoy

​Unity is the state of being complete. It teaches the way to experience the essence of God and offers a heighten awareness of truth, thereby, transforming life. Through the exploration of unity, we learn the unique expressions of God, witness opportunities to embrace ourselves as sacred beings and are filled with the medicine of our great value and worth in a state of well-being.

​IMMUNITY   =   I’M UNITY
He who experiences the Unity of life sees his own self in all beings 
and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with a neutral eye. – Buddha

Immunity is likened to unity as an example of an intelligent system already in place that reminds us that any foreign bodies, away from health and vitality consciousness have the potential to break us down and destroy our sense of balance, harmony and personal alignment. We decide what we take in, hold onto and are willing to let go of. We are the creators and destroyers of our own reality and we make the final decision between separation and wholeness. When you seek to bring the fractured self together, you see God alive and well inside you and witness the self in action by the glory of God moving through you. Then “I’m Unity” becomes a declaration that claims your God given birthright and divine heritage to be a presence incarnate. You’ll see yourself, another and this life with much more clarity and one based, in understanding, compassion and forgiveness because you have invoked your divine right, you have claimed your divine essence and you stand in the divine presence as one. It’s up to each of us to take personal responsibility in healing ourselves first before we take on healing the world. Healing can only be understood through you and because of you. It has to be in you. As a complete, whole and at-one with yourself.
