14: Release To Receive

This week’s share is themed Release To Receive, where I transparently shine a light on the continuous process I’ve been moving through of releasing control + letting go of who I thought I was or “should be” in order to step into being more of who I incarnated here to be I started this podcast to explain the process of learning to fully embrace all aspects of one’s life. Initially it was going to have a large focus on the impact + trauma of adoption, + as I adopt more of myself, my role in this world shifts, I evolve, this podcast evolves, + my upcoming book Adopt Yourself evolves. (Note: Adoption specific episodes are airing in November in honor of Adoption Awareness month) The intention of this podcast is to bring more self-healing tools + guidance to our world, as a healed world manifests by more individuals healing our inner worlds. Adopting Yourself means taking full responsibility for all aspects of your life, seen + unseen, conscious + unconscious, intentional + unintentional, healed + unhealed, wounded + scared, all parts of you… past you, present you, + future you. We first adopt ourselves by taking full responsibility for the self, we then adopt ourselves in our relationships, + we then adopt ourselves as stewards of our Earth Bringing more conscious awareness of the self-blockages that have inhibited me from receiving what I desire to experience has guided me to shed more layers of who I am not in order to see, trust, + be more of who I truly am Currently I’m being called to focus on + share more stories of the healing power of the earth through spirit’s eyes + as I may not entirely see or innerstand what that looks like yet I choose to surrender to the guidance of spirit as my calling. Our lives are made up of mere moments, the more we’re able to live each moment for being sacred the richer our lives will become. Finding stillness to pray before consuming, taking a moment to stop + smell a flower, being fully present to experience the birds flying by, each of these moments is sacred so how can we embrace + enjoy the in-between moments of life more? Remember… You are supported You are supported by our earth You are supported by your fellow humans You are supported by your ancestors Be open to receive love + support from us Suggested earthing/grounding practices: A daily non-negotiable to walk barefoot on the earth Hugging trees for 5 or more full breaths, mentally envisioning releasing of any heavy emotions or mental chatter with the phrase “I release this _back to creator to receive more love + stability from Mother Earth + source”, then thank the tree for existing + supporting the energetic shift Suggested contemplations/journal prompts: Where can you release more mentally/emotionally/physically? What is something you’ve neglected to face, what can you receive by facing + releasing it? Where can you release so you receive more of you? What can you release to receive more love? Where have you been self-sabotaging without labeling it as that? What are you consuming or engaging with that’s distracting you from reaching your North Star or ‘goal’ What limits are you putting on loving yourself +/or loving others? Much love to each of you, thank you for being part of my journey + thank you for being you! I love you!
