Authentic Expression - A heart share...

My contemplations...What is Authenticity? How easy is it to be in our truth which continues to evolve? Why is it important to authentically express?

The only constant is change, yet being seen, heard and held in the moment has a fulfilling feeling in the moment. However, sometimes a later feeling of rejection lingers and the "mind" then wonders was it because I showed up in my truth in that present moment or was it because of how the message was communicated. Communication a whole other nuance that we will explore at a later stage :D

Often, a part of me wants to hide away from my vulnerability as a result of the fear of judgement and non-acceptance, and then there is a part that wants to show up fully with no filters because being in that truth brings in a feeling of soul expansion and opening. So the question of why does it matter... Because, if I can't show up for myself and express, how can I expect another to. The road can often feel lonely and it can also feel courageous - this is the duality of life.

An important aspect of Well-Being is connection and relationships and the most important relationship we can have, is the relationship we have with ourselves. That brings in another layer of integrity, a layer of radical honesty and a layer of radical responsibility. The more I ponder and reflect, I start to notice that if I let go of the outcome, that is where true freedom lies. I can be real in my expression and play my path to follow through in action with my words - however, I am only responsible for myself. Captivity is not the way to flow through life ~ Surrendering means I can own my truth at that present moment, express with kindness and as much as a warm response may be welcomed, the release of that expectation is what allows the body to feel light and free of tension.

That brings me to conclude and express that the more that we can cultivate that inner presence and peace and really feel the body floating, we connect deep within ourselves and that allows us to be curious and soft with others. This deepens our inner knowing, aka as "wisdom" to know when to draw boundaries and when to hold space for another...This makes us more relatable and maybe bring us one step closer to feeling aligned and living a more fulfilled life - What do you reckon?

Keep shining your light ⭐
