Vulnerability + Growth

Vulnerability + Growth

In every creative process, in every birth, in every opening of a new cycle of life, there is a time of vulnerability. This vulnerability is natural and appropriate. The process of growth and maturity has to take place. Akin to a foal standing on its legs for the first time, the growing pains of starting anew as an adult are wobbly attempts at first.

All changes in nature have their time, even when we cannot detect the growth, it is happening. Within you, perhaps even below the level of your conscious awareness, there is fresh new life emerging like a vibrant green shoot rising up from the earth. This new life is in need of your attention and care. This could be a new relationship that needs tending to. It could be a new idea that you need to nurture into fullness because it is going to hold special purpose for your life path. Perhaps it is something within you like a new behavior, or new perception of yourself that you need to tend to until it becomes more natural for you to embody.

THE PRACTICE

Be with this vulnerability; with your eyes closed, take several deep breaths, paying keen attention to the sensation of breath in your body. Invite your thinking to turn off and allow your focus to expand into your heart. Imagine that you are joyfully and lovingly standing guard over that emerging green shoot. See around you and the green shoot many beings of unconditional love and light. Bring the message into your mindspace “I am safe and will grow strong and thrive.” The more we love up on all parts of ourselves, no matter where in the cycle of the creative process and unfolding of life we are, the more in communion we become. The more spiritually aligned action is revealed to us.
