I am really grateful to be connecting here with you now and sharing some of what has become a really cultivated,
Cherished,
Beloved practice of sacred self love.
And what I've come to in myself through my own process of deep awakening is a strength in the commitment I have to staying inspired and to connecting to the deepest and truest divinity that lies so deep within me and that I know too exists so strongly within you.
And you know I just got back from being in Indonesia for three weeks where I took a solo trip motivated by a deep inner knowing that restoration was needed and also as a way to celebrate my path and what has been years of inner work to heal and to transform.
And I also turned 35 there so a pretty magnificent birthday present to myself.
And I spent the last days of my 34th year with myself on retreat in Bali in noble and sacred silence.
Among the forest and the jungle the Indonesian rice fields in an eco sanctuary with star beds for gazing and river jungle paths to cleanse the soul and unleash time.
Locally grown organic and plant based foods to heal the body and my spirit's relationship to the sustenance it receives from the generous offerings of the earth.
The sunrise meditation and time and space to really rest the bones read contemplate engage intentionally with my thoughts environment heart and grander connection to the whole of it all.
I really tapped into a magic possessed beyond my capacity to fully comprehend but with a deep embedded knowing that I am one with it all.
And there is more at work than my perception can offer understanding of.
And so I bow to the great divine and I welcome with zeal all that is yet to be known.
And off the heels of years of inner ongoing work to heal and shed expand consider confront and contemplate.
I left the experience with a true and undeniable knowing that transformation the manifestation of transformation comes when we heal.
When we lean in to things that hurt and we hang out there long enough to allow curiosity to reveal truth and to emerge reborn reignited is who we really are increasingly clearer about what has kept us from that.
We liberate ourselves.
And so I vow to myself to never stop exploring myself crying for my pains releasing and cleansing and wearing my truth like a badge earned not always easily but always deeply and I would change not a single moment of that.
And so I cultivate vows to the sacred self and I think strong legs to stand on for love strength connection and destiny.
I think myself for the willingness and commitment to always figure it out and I think the divine for this holy moment of freedom.
And I'm going to invite you to join me in this sacred vow to self.
You can repeat the vows within or you can say it aloud before we start why don't you give yourself a chance to breathe deeply and to really arrive within the self knowing that your willingness to be embodied with intention and attention right now in this moment is a gift that you deserve.
So take a nice slow deep breath into this beautiful gift you're giving yourself.
Take a nice slow deep deliberate breath and through the nose release it out through the eyes and right after me I vow to always take you seriously with plenty of space for silly.
I vow to give you retreat and to listen deeply.
I vow to go with him committedly to explore discover and relentlessly tenderly reveal your truest and deepest players.
I vow to heal you.
I vow to grow you.
I vow to honor the true enormity of your purpose here.
I vow to forgive you and never stop learning never stop being better.
I vow to foster compassion when it's hard.
I vow to keep honoring attuning.
