I have always identified as #nonbinary but it wasn't until I began actively expanding my definition of self that I came out as such & instinctively felt ready to address & integrate past traumas & underlying anxieties. Rarely surprised or startled by external stimulus in the past -- inside this last year & with support from my therapist, tantra teachers, family & soul family near & far -- I've been able to recognize that I couldn't feel what I couldn't feel through the beautiful walls I'd created & maintained around my person. Those walls were key to my coping strategies & when they began softening under my loving attention I felt...more. I felt vulnerable. As a highly sensitive empath my energetic hygiene has continued to benefit from my dedication self mastery to rooting out the bias inside. #nonbinaryblackmagic #selfportraitphotography #selfportrait #shadowdancer #lightworker #alchemist #tantra #multidisciplinaryartist #blackartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUKZgEA2G1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uhey3utfoy5a
