DISCOVERING & ACCEPTING - February
DISCOVERY & ACCEPTANCE
A Journey to Personal Growth
In the fast-paced and often chaotic nature of modern life, the quest for self-discovery and growth can become a vital pursuit. Let’s dig in a little deeper into finding flow through understanding resistance and the benefits of grounding ourselves throughout the day when we are feeling anxious, and full of fear.
Discovery of Energetic Patterns
The journey of self-discovery is one that may unfold over a lifetime. It involves peeling back the layers of our experiences, beliefs, and emotions to reveal the core of our being. It requires introspection, questioning, and a willingness to explore the depths of our inner world.
Take a moment and notice what patterns you notice have a thread through your life?
Acceptance of Self
Practicing self-acceptance requires compassion and self-love. It involves letting go of self-judgment and embracing a mindset of forgiveness and understanding. This does not mean complacency, but rather a willingness to work on ourselves while recognizing our inherent worth.
Take a moment and ask yourself how many times do you accept yourself fully.
What is currently in your life needing to be observed or confronted?
The Path to Growth
As we grow, we may find that gratitude, empathy, and a deeper sense of purpose naturally emerge. Our relationships may improve, and we may become more attuned to the needs of those around us. In this way, the journey of self-discovery and acceptance ripples outwards, influencing not only our own lives but the lives of those we touch.
Take a moment and ask yourself how dedicated are you to self growth?
Embracing the Journey
As we navigate the complexities of our inner worlds, we may also seek support from mentors, therapists, or trusted individuals who can provide guidance and encouragement. Engaging in open conversations and sharing our experiences with others can foster a sense of community and reinforce the idea that we are not alone in our journey.
The path of self-discovery and acceptance is a transformative odyssey that opens the door to personal growth and fulfillment. It invites us to look within, embrace our authentic selves, and cultivate a renewed sense of purpose and meaning. By embarking on this journey with openness and curiosity, we set the stage for a life lived with depth, intention, and genuine joy.
Take a moment and notice where you have embraced or resisted your life journey?
Clearing Session with Jess
CLEARING STATEMENTS FOR ACCEPTANCE
Begin by finding a comfortable, quiet place without distractions.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in through your nose and exhale out through the mouth to center yourself.
Now, bring your attention to the middle of your chest and gently place your hands over your heart.
Take a moment to tune into the energy of your heart space.
As you focus on this area, repeat the affirmation, "I fully accept myself."
Notice how this affirmation resonates within you.
Are there any sensations of tightness or restriction in your body?
Observe any thoughts or reactions that arise when you express acceptance toward yourself.
Allow yourself to sit with these feelings for a few moments, breathing deeply as you do.
Next, visualize yourself in a favorite natural setting, perhaps near a peaceful body of water or sitting on a grounding rock. Choose a place that brings you a sense of safety and connection. With your attention now at the base of your spine, visualize a cord, root, or beam of light extending down into the Earth. This act of grounding carries significant energetic benefits, as it aligns us with the nurturing and stabilizing energy of the Earth. Follow this grounding connection deep into the soil, imagining it spreading out about four feet in width beneath and rising around you. Notice any shifts in your body's energy as you do this. Do you feel a greater sense of balance and calm beginning to envelop you?
Returning your awareness to your heart, let's work on clearing any negative beliefs that may be hindering your acceptance. You can do this by visualizing any limiting beliefs or feelings being gently released from your heart space. Each breath can be a tool for releasing these barriers, allowing space for acceptance to flow freely within you.
Clearing statement: I lovingly release, accept, and move past any barriers, blocks and beliefs that are keeping me feeling stuck and unfulfilled in my life. I accept what is in this present moment, and know that I have the ability to allow fulfillment in my life… right here, right now.
Finally, take a moment to appreciate the progress you've made. You've taken a deliberate step towards acknowledging and welcoming acceptance into your being. You can return to this practice whenever you feel the need to realign with a sense of acceptance and grounding.
Below are several statements that you can incorporate into your acceptance practice. These statements can be used as affirmations or reflections to cultivate an attitude of acceptance.
"I wholeheartedly accept myself and my current circumstances."
"I release any resistance to accepting things as they are."
"I embrace the present moment with open arms and an open heart."
"I am at peace with what is, and I trust in the flow of life."
"I welcome acceptance into every aspect of my being."
GROUNDING DEEPER INTO ACCEPTANCE
Grounding throughout the day is an important practice to use as it helps the body to accept and integrate what is currently happening in our life. When we ground we connect ourselves to the stabilizing energy of our ancestors and the Earths energy which offers resilience to our energy field.
Take a moment and listen to the below grounding exercise to help anchor you into your experience with ease and grace. Use this daily multiple times when feeling anxious, nervous, unclear, and when you feel ungrounded.
