We Must Repeatedly Die A Spiritual (Egoic) Death In Order To Fully Live
The old, limited version of you is constantly falling away...dying...in order to make space for the new, continuously evolving version of your true self. Are you taking the time to acknowledge the constant death of the false you? The parts of you that no longer serve you and must be consciously and compassionately let go of? Gratitude and compassion for all that the false self showed you is key to integrating sustainable transformation.
I use InnerGuidance tools to teach my clients how to honor their journey in order to fully embrace the miracle of who and what they truly are.
Here is an example of my own personal process:
"𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺.
I realized the paradox that I couldn’t fully embrace at the time of my accident - the importance of honoring, 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, the simultaneous 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 and 𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of Jen. While I was waiting to be extricated, what was left of the old me was dying...a version of Jen that could no longer exist. She had served her purpose and was ready to let go.
What I didn’t realize until today was how important it was, in these moments, for the old Jen to be held...body shaking, heart fully contracting in pain before it could fully open.
She needed to be acknowledged for all that she was and all that she had become.
She needed to be thanked for how she had persisted, endured, and relentlessly done everything she needed to do to get us to this moment of Truth.
She wanted to be forgiven for all the lies she had believed about herself and about life.
She deserved to hear she was more than enough.
She needed to be embraced in the arms of her own love.
She needed to be seen as she slowly relaxed out of fear and exhaustion.
She needed to be fully loved as she was reassured it was OK to go now.
𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥.
I couldn’t give that to her at the time, so I gave her all of this today through deep meditation, the power of visualization as well as trauma release within the body.
I drove to the site of the accident. As I walked alongside the deep ditch, I tossed yellow daffodils ...with each one I thanked her, apologized and released her...imprinting the ceremony into my entire system.
Today, I finally honored the death of that version of Jen, in order for the new, evolving Jen to fully live now. "
