Today I'm thinking about growth, and the light energy inside of me. Lately I have been trying to focus on all of this good energy and channel it in my actions and interactions every day.
One thing i have realized is that like a seed, we must face our darkness in order to discover and tap into that light source. Seeds are planted and surrounded by darkness. When they grow, they gain nourishment and sprout up into the light, gaining new awareness. This is something we do as humans too.
If you can’t learn from your darkness, things will never change and you’ll never be able to access the light inside if you.
A key to separating from your darkness is sacrifice. You have to sacrifice the things that don’t serve you, the things that fuel your darkness. This allows you to grow. And is one of the greatest acts of self love. Letting go and creating change is difficult, but it’s not supposed to be easy. Stepping out of your comfort zone to reach new heights and discover new things is how you can discover that light source. If you remain where you are comfortable, you will never grow.
I’ve found that one of the easiest ways for me to come to terms with this each day is through mediation. When I feel grounded and at peace with myself, I am able to open up the rest of me to all of the possibilities out there. Just five to ten minutes a day of breathing and centering myself helps ease my mind and motivate me to get through each day.
Another thing I have found that is key to separating from your darkness is pursuing your passions and doing things for yourself every day. There is so much work and so many expectations to fulfill for other people that people often lose sight of themselves and their identity when we are so focused on others. For me, I find writing to be something I can do daily and for myself. Writing helps me relax and get out any negative energy that I’ve held on to throughout the day, allowing me to start each day fresh.
Doing something for yourself doesn’t have to cost money. You have everything you need to be happy and grow within yourself. All you have to do is tap into your light energy, and allow that to lead you through life.
Thank you for pausing to be here with me today.
Namaste
