So, I have recently had some deep conversations with various and sundry people, beings, Guides, etc... (If I mention all of them, people might think I'm crazy!!!) :) (This is a joke... I don't really mind people thinking I'm crazy)
But seriously folks, I have been contemplating the conversations and realizing a running theme... One that might be a little uncomfortable for some to really dig deeply and discuss out loud. The theme is one that has been very quiet and sneaky. One that I really had to dig at, and contemplate, and question, and listen to... And I am realizing that we are all sort of afraid to talk about the same things!!!
Am I speaking in circles...? Sorry about that. See, even I am stalling!!!
OK, so the theme and my thoughts around them... SOOO many people want to be heard and seen. I dare say, ALL people want that. Parents want to be seen be other parents, and by each other... Friends want to be seen by mutual friends of friends, kids want to be seen by their parents, partners want to be seen by each other, employees want to be seen by upper management... the list goes on...
Take a moment and think about how you wish to be seen and by whom. Really, take a moment. Write it down if you dare. This is pretty important.... If you want to be seen by someone (which I am pretty sure there is at least one person out there you don't feel seen by), write that person's name down. Now, put a list of words next to that person's name. Not words describing how you want to be seen by them, but words to describe how YOU see THAT person. How many words are next to the person's name? One? A dozen? A hundred? Now sit back and really think about all the words you just wrote down about that person... Now think about that person. Visualize their face. Talk to that person in your minds eye. Tell them how you see them.
Now, will you actually walk up to that person and tell them that to their face? Think about how that might change how you see them. Think about how that might change how they see you. Are you afraid to tell them any of the words? Why? It's your truth, right? Now think about how that person might even be afraid to tell you some of the things they see in you. Maybe the disconnect between people is NOT really there... Maybe it is an illusion. Maybe you are making it up... Maybe it is just fear of rejection.
Here's a thought that has been helping me a lot lately. "How are you willing to ALLOW yourself to be seen and heard?" When I ask myself this question, lots of thoughts come crashing in. Once I let the thoughts subside and listen to the strongest thoughts, I realize that I am more aware of how I DON'T allow myself to be seen and heard... I have been working on surrender a lot lately. Stasia and I even made a new chocolate bar called "Sweet Surrender" which has been VERY helpful in this allowing and surrendering process for me. (Check out our website: www.neverthesamechocolate.com) I am surrendering to how I am willing to allow myself to be seen and heard... My goal for this day (and this week) is to ask myself this question any time I feel disconnected or frustrated...
When I feel the discomfort, disconnect, or frustration, I am going to ask myself, "How am I willing to allow myself to be seen and heard right now?" And see what comes up. I might blog about it... If you decide to practice this question, please let me know what comes up for you. I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
Blissings and Love to You/Me/All/US... This is a journey of trust in self. Let's do our best to support the journey in each other.
