Self-Acceptance

What is the first thing you think of when you wake in the morning? Are you looking forward to the new day or do you want to roll over and go back to sleep? Personally, when my Compassionate Witness noticed I was getting into the habit of a "roll over and go back to sleep and hide from the day" kinda thing, rather than making me wrong, she got curious. "Are you really tired and needing deeper rest?" she guessed. I felt my body soften, gently uncurling, with my eyes still closed in a semi-slumber. Slowly awakening me, she asked with care, "Maybe you are needing some shared reality and acknowledgement for the complexity of all that you hold and do in a given day." Spontaneously drawing a deep breath, relaxation that comes from a deep aliveness began to course through my being. "Are you needing the faith and freedom to awaken inspired to create your day doing what you love?" A warm smile spread across my face as I opened my eyes, to stretch and gaze at the beautiful ocean painting, which was my mother's. The memory of my mother, the soft colors and imagery of the ebb and flow of the tide washed over me. I felt a deep healing resonance shift my inner experience from resistance, to one of peace. Endless possibilities gloriously stretched out all around me. Lovingly listening to and accepting ourselves from the soul level, right where we are, rather than berating ourselves for not being as we "should" be, allows us an opportunity to be birthed all over again. When we then open our eyes we can see with the eyes of our soul. When we see the beauty of divinity in not only ourselves, but in each person we encounter, our relationships deepen, and the bonds of our unions strengthen. Creativity and inspiration are the opposite of routine. When you consciously know where you are going and have faith you will get there, allowing yourself to adapt to any changes, you experience infinite potential. You naturally act differently and attract differently. Relating to each other from the soul level, we experience an expansion of love, joy, compassion, and harmony.
