Lately, I’m discovering what it means to truly embrace my own humanity and I’m inspired to share this with you. What I mean by embracing our humanity is embracing our so-called shortcomings-- these are the places where we are ensnared by limiting beliefs and identifications. It’s where we get down ourselves, about a reaction we might have had to our partner or child; giving ourselves grief because we know better. It’s humbling to recognize the places where we’re not fully embodying what we know. It's here that it is useful to offer compassion to ourselves. Let’s feel what’s going on and tend to ourselves. In this way, we can fall in love with ourselves and everyone around us, in their most imperfect perfection. *Gratitude to Marina Raye for sharing her music track “Awakening Dream” from the album Liquid Silk.
