When The Shadows Of Your Past Reach Into Your Present

The thing about being human is that it's a lifelong process. Sometimes, our best selves show up. Sometimes, our shadows take over. And then what do we do? We can sit, breathe, and let our centers settle.

Transcript

Hey there, How are you doing? How is life? How is being human? Recently I have felt oh so human and partly it's because some of the shadows of my past have been reaching into my days and sometimes you know it's happening you know oh this is why I'm reacting because this happened to me in the past but other times you're like why am I feeling this way why am I doing what I'm doing and then we can start going after ourselves but if only we were better if only we could forget everything that happened to us if only we could be perfect but this thing about being human is that it's a life-long process and sometimes our best selves show up sometimes those wounded selves arrive and sometimes the shadows stretch long into our days and then what do we do well one thing is to do this to sit and breathe to let our centers settle stay in this moment stay here because right now it's okay whatever else is happening right now it's okay I'm here you're here we are in this together something else is to just know all of these things are there and when we live we don't know how it's gonna go we don't know what's gonna step forward and be most present for us so when those things come forward when those shadows take over see if it's possible to take a breath and to say oh wow I see you at play right now and to be on your own side to hold the tender selves to give them love and care and then to find ways to name these things with someone you trust someone who's gonna give you the most generous interpretation someone who's gonna say my gosh that's a hard thing to hold and sit with and if you don't have someone like that just know that I'm sitting here saying we all have so much we're trying to hold and deal with and process and live through you are amazing you are a radiant light trust yourself hold on to your center as you live light and shine
