It is a funny thing that when we are in pain or struggling deeply with our own fears and insecurities, that is when we are more inclined to run for the hills so to speak, or run away from the source of the dilemma, that is outside ourselves. We are very good at distracting ourselves, procrastinating and blaming. True power lies within and beneath this stuff which I will call S.H.I.T.
This week I had my own experience with S.H.I.T, I am always grateful after the experience, why? Its painful at the time but having gone through it, you come to a place and space of reward called clarity. My teacher and mentor affectionately calls it ‘seeing the diamond in the tird’.
A diamond is created through immense pressure and heat over a period of time, and so it is the same with us and our own lives. We are all constantly under pressure of our own issues (S.H.I.T), feeling the heat and after a while we begin to see where we are responsible for our own pain. A diamond is strong, clear and brilliant. In the journey of wallowing in my S.H.I.T this week (ala Miss Piggy), I eventually saw beyond it to find strength within myself, that it was all just a cover up and catalyst to help me to become clear about my truth, and that I am brilliant and strong. I saw the diamond in my tird.
A personal story is that over the years of doing my mastery courses, I have had 3 experiences where I have received the message that I am a crystal. Twice from other people and once during deep meditation where I came out and immediately drew a picture of it. I now keep it to remind me when I forget. So it has become my personal mission in life to keep the crystal clear and clean by mediating, doing yoga/exercise and writing. By doing this I can see my own truth and power so I can shine that light more consciously in my world and help others to do the same, to be their reminder.
Crystals are symmetric and balanced, or represent HARMONY. When we are in harmony with our dreams and purpose, things fall into place. I notice that when I am in harmony with my own truth, and I am feeling good and energized, wherever I go I see lights go out, and there is a synchronicity in my world where people, places and events fall effortlessly into place. Where I am aligned with my truth there is a zone of support, strength and brilliance.
How do we get to that place? First we must realize that there must be discords in order to achieve harmony, so by taking ownership of your S.H.I.T you will be rewarded (no, not the poo bar!) with clarity of your gifts, strengths and brilliance. Just like I was S.H.I.T scared of what people would think of my brilliance.
Q-What is it that you need to be clear about at the moment, really? Q-What are the hidden strengths behind it that you have been hiding, or what pressure have you created in your life that is helping you to be clear of your truth and power? Q-How does this empower you to shine those gifts in your life and show your brilliance?
So the point is to LOVE your shit, BLESS your shit and THANK you shit every day for allowing it to teach you how you have not been the diamond and the light unto yourself.
I will leave you with this final affirmation;
“At the heart of the matter we are all diamonds”
Love light and beauty,
Nicole
