​  To me, being vulnerable is always scary because you’re exposed in truth- You’re required to be completely honest. It becomes a tender place in time where you let go of defenses, drop masks, abandon agendas and sink into truth that is pure and simple. It's an experience of self that is stripped down to its essence in a complete, all-encompassing magnificent moment, that is you.
     It takes courage to stand completely as you are in the present that you are. It means you must be willing to disarm the self and perhaps even another in an intimate moment of connection. It is the complete feeling of your inner strength in total and it offer's strength to the one you share it with, whether it’s fully accepted and integrated or not. 
     To be vulnerable is to be real, to exist in this world and to reverberate within the cells, even after you're gone. You can taste truth in your mouth, it's powerful and when vulnerability penetrates your being, it releases the energetic blocks that hold you back. That's why it makes you shake or feel scared or even cry... It’s a process that reveals who you are at the essence of creation. So, being vulnerable is actually the energy of your full, complete authentic self. That is your power and your power is immense, it's humbling and it deserves great honor.
