Here in my space, on my healing journey, I have been exploring my artistic side. It is fun, it is freeing, and it is so creative! There's something transformational about channeling our creative energy and directing that fire towards a focused area. I've been recording video blogs for myself since July, and even just watching some of the things I've covered since then and the kind of transformation I've gone through just that quickly - it's humbling. I did not realize quite how much I had absorbed and started projecting in my adult life until this most recent journey... Without going through my life history, let's just say, I didn't exactly have a great debriefing process for myself with every lesson learned. I suffered in an abusive relationship for almost 5 years, and it was my very first relationship. It wasn't until just recently that I started realizing just how wounded and hurt I still am from that experience. Instead of growing, blossoming, and flourishing, I was cowering, retracting almost all of the time, and hiding from myself - like an ingrown hair, stuck beneath the skin, scared of being exposed. But I found a pore to escape through - I found the light shining through the cracks. Once I discovered my intuition and started listening to that quiet voice within, everything started coming into place. Now I feel, more than ever, that we MUST express ourselves, we MUST unearth this deeply rooted trauma, we must face that which we thought we could not survive without. Like Moana has taught me: the heart that has been stolen from us does not define us: we know who we truly are. And that is something more priceless than any treasure or attainment sought "outside." The discovery of innocence, and infinite cosmos within. #art, #rootchakra, #fire, #elemental, #chakras, #tarot, #archetypes, #shadowworker, #selflove, #selfcare, #setyourvibration, #alchemy, #mystical, #spiritual, #witch, #intution, #sigils, #servitors, #adventures, #root, #fireofcreation, #deeplyrooted, #greatlyloved, #natural, #creation, #destruction, #energy, #jung, #selfactualization, #shadowwork (at Fairfield, Iowa)
