Self Work – The Potential Within

The journey of awakening is a life long learning experience.

“As we relentlessly observe ourselves, the images we have of who we are and who we need to be – which at one time seemed so real – begin to peel away like layers of an onion. Pleasant self-images may give way to uglier ones, each seeming equally real until that layer too peels away. As every illusory idea of who we are is stripped off, we can finally experience the quivering freedom of not needing to be anyone at all.”

~Ezra Bayda~

When you wish to create change in the world around you, always begin within. Life will find ways to reflect the one thing that is often most difficult to see and our job is to take ownership of whatever unfolds in our experience. Repeating patterns, when viewed with love and objectivity, are meant to bring outmoded ways of being to light. With this insight and relentless honesty, the spiritual student can turn inward and clear away layers of limiting beliefs.

Should you be fortunate enough to have a teacher or friend who will gently nudge you in the direction of enlightenment, honor them by doing your own work. This journey is a never-ending spiral of love and enlightenment – each cycle bringing you closer to the peace, freedom and unconditional love you desire.

As we awaken, the world around us is transformed. Relationships begin to feel supportive, the world becomes a safer place and your light is a beacon of awakening.
