To shine as our true selves is not necessarily an easy thing. Influenced by society, our upbringing and mainstream media, we are often molded by outer circumstance, by our own interpretation of the world around us. To truly find oneself, to go within is essential. To still the mind. Because to be present and aware takes us away from judgement and offer a clear pathway to freedom. Clear, but not always easy. To me it means letting go. Simple, but at times very hard to do. In fact, it takes a lot of courage to explore the wast universe we have inside. The willingness to heal and abandon old opinions and ways, may be required. Our safety strategies may be severely challenged. My own experience of finding our core is the same as seeking our basic innocence. To shed the layers of ideas and beliefs we have covered over the shining diamond that we are. It is a priviledge. Because to love ourselves and others with honest acceptance and clear integrity, is within reach. Our soul is like that diamond. To uncover its beauty we have to go deep since the layers of pain may reach through to other lifetimes. Fears which never left our deepest memory, imbedded in our cells. This is my direct experience. Then again, since cells regenerate there is always an opportunity to clear such blockages. Simple processes can bring us there and back again, transforming the energies at our very core. 

To once again, truly shine
