Beloveds,
This month's theme of Sacred & Supreme Self-Care is taking me on a wild and beautiful journey! How are you finding it? 💖
I have been amazed to continue discovering all the little places that I withhold from myself the Sacred Self-Care that is befitting of a Goddess Being, for all sorts of distorted reasons. It has been both eye-opening and challenging to face at times, as I realise that there are yet pieces of me being calling for deeper healing that I had not recognised fully prior to now.
For instance, I have been deeply longing to engage in a proper yoga practice for a very long time - something that precious body YEARNS for - but have never allowed myself to be consistent with it because as I realised this week, I've actually felt deeply ashamed that I can't follow the yoga class like a "normal" person (aspie problems). I've had this idea that I "should". be able to do it like everyone else, and as I can't I'm automatically a failure, nobody will understand, I just look like an idiot and hold everyone else up. The feeling of this has been so overwhelming that it's driven me to not even try.
The Self-Care that we give to ourselves is indeed Sacred, it s a Sacred practice, a devotion, and offering, where we tend lovingly to the temple of our own being with the reverence such divinity deserves. Beneath all of the places where we withhold from ourselves lies hidden emotions that we are gently invited now to be with quietly and hear their messages, that we can be free from the binding of the false stories we tell ourselves. These places have something to offer that is to our benefit, we need not fear them.
How do you experience this in you?💜
One of my small daily joys right now! Got this as a much-wanted present for myself before Christmas and it's starting to become a hub of activity. I was a bit worried when it arrived labelled "complete dining station" but so far none of the cats have attempted to dine on its visitors.
