Janalovinglife“I have wandered,
chasing echoes of approval,
forgetting that the temple
was always within.
Now—
I place my hand on my heart,
not to silence it,
but to listen.
No crown was given.
None was needed.
My truth is the gold
I wear invisibly.
I rise—
not above others,
but into myself.
Sovereign.
Whole.
Home.” Sage
Dear Ones,
The path of awakening is such a beautiful path. One by one we discover stunning secrets of who we truly are. And although the small self/ego can sometimes make us afraid to look further, telling us that stepping into the unknown is dangerous, it couldn’t be further from the truth.
When we finally break the spell of incessant listening to the negative thoughts and beliefs and venture to cross the threshold to our true nature no one told us about, we realise the greatness and majesty of who we truly are.
The conditioning might have given us many stories about ourselves we often unconsciously adopted. The stories that we are not worthy until we prove that we are, unlovable until someone else loves us, unsuccessful until we have someone else’s approval. And so we might have entangled ourselves in these false stories like a free flying bird suddenly being caught in a net.
And if we really believed those stories, we might have taken it further and created even more “interesting” and perhaps dramatic stories in our lives. Nevertheless our return home to our true nature couldn’t be sweeter.
Even just glimpses of the golden light of our true presence can be spellbinding. As we are stepping from the darkness of forgetting into the light of remembering, it is a journey of contrast as we discover that the highest truth about ourselves is the opposite of nearly everything we’ve been told.
We remember that each of us is a sovereign being and no matter how many times we’ve given our own power to someone or something external, the power is still intact and without our conscious or unconscious consent no one and nothing can take it away. No matter how many times we have listened to someone else’s advice and followed it, the true wisdom and authority within each of us never diminishes or cannot be silenced. The moment we remember it and listen to it, its voice becomes stronger and stronger. No matter whether we received true unconditional love from the first adults around us, in the moment we remember that at its core we are love itself it overflows abundantly not only to ourselves but also to everyone and everything around us.
And finally no matter how many times we received a message of separation, both spoken and unspoken, in the moment we have the glimpse that in reality there is only one being manifested as many, no one has to teach us about the value of peace and harmony because once the illusion of separation is lifted we naturally treat others with kindness and compassion we have for ourselves. Simply because others are ourselves and we are the others – many waves appearing on the surface of one ocean.
And so if you feel inspired, dearest One, celebrate your existence today and return back home. Back home to the truth of who you already are: Rest in the love that is you, rest in the power that is you, rest in the sovereignty that is you and allow the magic to unfold.
I look forward to meditating with you.
Lots of love,
Jana xx
