day 12 of #blisswarrior challenge: EXPAND offered by the awe inspiring @kiyafire. for years i made myself small, afraid to take up too much space... and while my frame is naturally petite it holds an enormous heart connected to long lanky limbs ready to open and expand. sitting in a healing ceremony earlier this year i became very aware of this tendency and in that moment it began to shift. an overwhelming desire to take up space came over me... a need to be big. i got up, stretched out my body and began to dance…floating on the waves of sound engulfing me. i understood for the first time that my light was meant to be shared. what a beautiful idea. take a moment to soften your entire being. let your roots sink in… draw energy up from the earth, and with that stability grow tall. pause. ask yourself this: what is your deepest innermost value? love, compassion, kindness, humanity, healing…. dig deep. bring your hands together, connecting only the sides of your thumbs and the tips of your little fingers to create a lotus in front of your heart. place your hearts desire inside. breath into it. encourage it to bloom. brighten the light inside, and then lift it up, open your arms and share it with the world. show us how you expand yourself. tag #blisswarriortribe #blisswarriorchallenge and follow @beebosnak @blisswarrior @kiyafire @swihsuits @swish_suits to qualify for this weeks bliss rewards from @off_to_rio @swishsuits @tinydevotions @escapetoshape (at Elizabeth City, NC)
