Actions speak louder than thoughts - it’s what you do when presented with the opportunity that showcase your love, or lack of. #actionnotwords #action #actionsspeaklouderthanwords #actionsspeaklouder #actionsspeak https://www.instagram.com/p/CI-j1FRFaGs/?igshid=w09z0e47h0c9

“Intimate Enemies” by gorak-boo

Rootedness in the Earth is the requirement for rising in higher frequencies & being in alignment with heaven. As long as we don't feel safe being alive, as long as the nervous system is in alarm mode, afraid to not be allowed to live, afraid to not be good enough, feeling unworthy to receive & bound in victim mentality, the higher wisdom may seem attractive & plausible, but we are not able to embody it - to ground it & bring it down to Earth. Heal & develop your stable root to allow the rising branches to touch the sky. Don't deny your humanness, rather see it as a catalysator to be able to anchor more light. Tend to your needs first, the rest comes later.

no love is ever lost. i used to feel like I wasted my love on the wrong people but in the course of my healing, not only have i felt the love I've poured out come back to me in different ways, but i have been reminded that love is not expendable at all. love cannot be measured nor contained. discarded nor wasted. it has no form or shape. it surrounds us. love is essential. it's abundant. it's powerful. its potency makes it capable of finding its way back to you. again and again and again. love is a whole phenomenon. don't ever regret the love you give to anyone. it's theirs. it's yours. it's everywhere. the cycle is infinite
