Hello,
Beautiful beings.
Welcome to the Turn Yourself In podcast,
A self-mastery preschool for adults program providing bite-sized secrets,
Reflections,
And exercises to know,
Love,
And heal thyself and to be happy,
Healthy,
Helpful,
And holy.
Together we will zoom into your deepest,
Most expansive,
And highest self to gain self-mastery.
This is Reverend Catherine Ganavsoto.
Thank you for being and for being here with me today.
In the previous episode,
I discussed the sixth consideration within the Hone Your Gifts and Skills dimension called Collaborate and Co-Create.
In this 28th episode,
We will explore the seventh consideration within the Hone Your Gifts and Skills dimension called Bloom and Grow.
As always,
First prepare your environment.
Turn on your receiving mechanism and prepare the tools you use to learn.
Turn on your favorite healing sounds.
Receive your favorite essential oils and prepare to absorb what you wish.
Receive a few nourishing deep breaths.
And state aloud,
I choose to receive.
Profound and transformational.
Epiphanies,
Insights,
And peacefulness with ease and grace.
I choose to receive.
Profound and transformational.
Epiphanies,
Insights,
And peacefulness with ease and grace.
Bloom and grow.
Your wings are expanding.
You are ready to take flight and soar with this newness of self.
As you start to accept yourself and others,
Accept your gifts and purpose,
Begin to understand your strengths and weaknesses,
And begin practicing and mastering your gifts and skills,
This is planting a seed.
You are planting the medicine that you are into the soil that is this beautiful existence.
I think you recognize what is coming next.
It is time to water that seed.
Give it the nourishment it desires,
The clean air,
The vibrant energy of the sun,
The healthy waters,
Love and joy.
This is the place to allow the natural beauty of existence to move,
To grow,
And to bloom.
You will still be taking steps to create,
Share,
And expand,
But it is here that you are also practicing patience and giving your own physical being the nourishment it desires.
Breathe and flow,
Meditate,
And reside in stillness knowing that even in stillness there is movement.
Each day as you wake renewed,
Breathe more life into this beautiful seed.
Release this new birth,
This new growth,
This extension of you,
This extension of love.
Perceive and receive yourself.
Appreciate this beautiful unfolding of your true nature coming closer and closer to the surface to be revealed.
Give yourself permission to bloom,
To outgrow the clothes you may have once donned,
To transform and transmute the old paradigm,
And to align with this frequency that has been here all along,
Waiting for you to align with it.
Blooming and growing can be awkward at times.
It can trigger fears and old patterns of the illusions in which we once lived.
Use your breath,
Your key,
Your wisdom,
And your love to dance with the chaos and the harmony as you bloom and grow.
Use the observe,
Witness,
And contemplate skills along with breath and meditation to allow the unfolding.
This unfolding of your seeds' fruits,
Your seeds' growth will be the medicine for the world.
Contemplate the following.
After being in the darkness for however long you may have been,
It will be time to receive the light that is radiating on your being and accept that you are growing,
You are blooming,
And will continue to do so for the rest of your days.
That shell,
That cocoon you were in is shedding,
Your wings are expanding,
You are ready to take flight and soar with this newness of self.
How much time and space can you give yourself as you continue to bloom?
Can you allow yourself to experience the new sensations,
Relations,
Attractions with your inner and outer worlds?
Smell the fragrance,
Taste the sweetness,
Receive your own nourishment.
Begin to understand who you are in this phase of your existence,
In this blooming and growing.
This phase of your existence can be like an initiation,
Like the death and rebirth that it is.
You may feel different and will view the world through a different lens.
Your understanding of life will expand.
It can be overwhelming with a burst of gratitude and love,
With confusion and awe.
You may experience a wobble or uncertainty in this newness.
Can you give yourself permission to rest in the arms of matter,
Of the Divine Mother,
Of our Divine Father,
And allow the natural evolution of your being to take place?
Can you study everything with curiosity and openness,
Allowing and letting go with faith and hope,
Embracing you?
Allow yourself to be here,
Exploring and receiving the beadlets of medicine that are seeping from your pores.
Be here observing and witnessing your expansion,
Your growth,
Your newness.
Allow the shedding,
As uncomfortable as it may be,
So that you,
Sweet,
Beautiful being,
Continue to bloom and grow.
Here are some practices you can take into your day today.
Practice number one.
Align with a practice that allows you to be present,
Rooting into the earth,
Expanding up to the universe,
And with the ability to flow like water.
This may include breath work,
A medicinal martial art,
Yoga,
Dance,
Or some other form of movement and flow,
Stillness,
Creativity,
Contracting and expanding.
Whatever practice you choose,
Engage with it often,
Daily if you wish.
Let go of an agenda or an expectation,
No need to set a goal or a time frame for it.
Just bring yourself present and begin practicing.
Become one with this practice and let it do its magic medicine and just receive.
Practice number two.
Journal your experiences.
This newness,
This new birth is tremendous and your being likely wants to be expressed or to express in some form.
Writing is a form of creativity that allows movement of the feelings,
Thoughts,
And experiences that are deep within.
This keeps the energy moving and is a form of an energetic medicine practice.
Like the previous exercise,
No need for an agenda or an expectation,
Just write.
Let it all flow,
Let it all go as word frequencies on paper.
No need to read it right away,
Let it sit for a week or a day or never read it again.
Here are some affirmations.
You can speak the following aloud or choose to create your own.
Repeat daily for as long as desired.
Number one.
I am ready to come out of the darkness and receive the light.
I am ready to come out of the darkness and receive the light.
Number two.
I give myself permission to be just where I am in my growth.
I give myself permission to be just where I am on my growth.
Number three.
I accept and love myself as I move through this beautiful and potent death and rebirth.
I accept and love myself as I move through this beautiful and potent death and rebirth.
And number four.
I choose to shed the old and expand the new with ease and grace.
I choose to shed the old and expand the new with ease and grace.
This wraps up episode 28 of the Turn Yourself In podcast,
A self-mastery preschool for adults program.
This is Reverend Kathryn Ganav Soto,
The Urban Spirit Guide.
Join me for episode 29,
Where we will explore the eighth and last consideration within the Hone Your Gifts and Skills dimension called Expand Your Knowledge.
Place your hands upon your heart or your arms around your shoulders and give yourself love and gratitude.
Thank you so much for being,
For walking this path,
For everything you have experienced,
And for being here with me today.
Blessings,
Sweet beings.
