Welcome to season 2, I’m so excited for all the magic season 2 is bringing. We have so many interviews lined up to talk to people about ways in which they are bringing forth more love and joy into the world and exciting companies and wellness practitioners of all sorts. So it’s gonna be really juicy, and I’m just so excited. Today we’re going to talk about embodiment. What does it mean to embody- what are you embodying, is the first question. When I was meditating a couple months ago the word that came to me for 2020 was “embody”. To me that means embodying my highest self, embodying all the love and joy and creativity, bringing that forth into my being, and walking those steps forward with that perspective and knowing, being aligned with love and clarity, listening to my intuition, making the decisions and taking the actions that align with highest good and love. So this means listening to your Yesses and Nos. That when you honor your yesses and nos, your intuition gets so much stronger, because when you feel something in your body, when you feel it and you know that it’s a yes and you say no to it, or you know that somethings a no and you say yes to it, you’re confusing yourself, you’re confusing the universe, you’re confusing everyone with what your intentions are, and what you actually want. Make sure that your actions are in alignment with what you say that you want, what you know that you want .Knowing that you are already that person, you’re already capable of making those decisions, it’s just simply a matter of dropping whatever stories that you have that are holding you back from being that person. So maybe you think that by saying “yes” to things when you don’t want to it’s because you’re being kind to someone else, but when you say “no”, it allows them to find their “yes”- their “yes” that’s actually in alignment. You’re not helping anyone when you are acting from a misaligned vantage point. So get your handy-dandy notebook when you feel called, and journal about it. What does embodiment mean to you? What does it mean to be aligned with that higher self? What does this person think? What does this person feel? What does this person do? And know that you’re already that person, you are already capable of doing and being and feeling and thinking all those things. It’s simply a matter of keeping yourself on target with it. Keeping yourself focused. And that’s why we have our practice of meditating in the mornings and at night and whenever you feel called to recenter. That’s why we focus on our breath, to pull ourselves in and realign.
That’s why we listen to our joy and our love and our emotions and heed what they are telling us. But let’s say you have a lot of fear coming up, a lot of anxiety. That’s not something to be pushed away or bottled down. That’s something that you get to look at. That’s your guidance system letting you know that something is misaligned. And isn’t that wonderful that our bodies do that? If you want to embody your highest self, listen to what your body is telling you right now. Are you holding tension in your shoulders? Are you breathing up and down instead of out? Are you really taking full breaths that fill your lungs to their capacity down to the diaphragm, out, expanding. Think of your embodied highest self. What is this self grateful for? Grateful for all the love and joy the alignment, grateful for making the decisions that are ultimately for your highest good.
