Intention and leadership play pivotal roles in cultivating community and empathy. Through shared experiences and environments that are less stressful than traditional settings, individuals can forge strong bonds rapidly. Camps, for instance, create a sense of belonging and togetherness, where competition is healthy and divisions are temporary. By recognizing that we are fundamentally one, we can transcend artificial separations and celebrate our shared humanity. These childhood experiences teach us valuable lessons about acceptance, connection, and the power of intention.
Shadow Work: Embracing Our Imperfections and Healing Rifts
Personal healing necessitates acknowledging both our superpowers and our shadows. Each of us possesses positive and negative traits, some unconscious and some purposeful. Accepting our shadow without judgment allows us to understand our dark side and, in turn, accept the shadows within others. By recognizing the patterns of behavior that cause rifts in our relationships, we can come full circle as conscious adults, working towards healing and repairing the connections that have been strained.
How can you begin to live consciously and manifest your greatness?
1) Believe in your greatness–consider a daily meditation practice to reconnect to your inner wisdom and inner child and pleasure
all you need is ONE person to believe in you
that person can be YOU or ANOTHER who sees your greatness before you do
WHO do you REALLY WANT TO BE
WHAT is your vision and purpose
WHY are you here?
2) Success leaves clues —find a coach or mentor to guide you.
Why try to do life alone?
Evolution is about adaption and happens faster if we learn from those who have succeeded before us.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result
Ask for help and guidance along the way
3) Believe your body is a sacred temple–treat it with love and respect. Your body is divine. You are living in heaven here on earth.
Feed your body nourishing food
Keep yourself hydrated
Believe in the diversity of the microbiome– a variety of foods, safe cosmetics and cleaning products, allow yourself to get dirty–play in nature
4) Self acceptance
accept all of you–your superpowers and your shadows
work and play to stay awake, alive and playful with all versions of you
Do NOT hide from your feelings–learn how to MOVE EMOTIONS through you–emotions are ENERGY in MOTION, it is essential we feel it, accept it, alchemize it and move it so it doesn’t stay stuck in our cells as trauma.
5) CONNECTIONS
believe in the power of connections
Open yourself up to connect your heart with other humans, other animals and the earth and universe.
It is all here for your pleasure and your enjoyment–PRIORITIZE PLAY –this is YOUR LIFE
we don’t get a do-over (at least one that is fully accessible to our psyche)
6) STAY PRESENT
ALL WE HAVE IS THE NOW– future dreams can and should be dreamed and experienced but between those dreams– stay alive and in gratitude for what it is
