Week 113 - Sitting in the Power
GENTLENESS IS THE ANSWER
Being vulnerable is a place within I protect
Because the outside world is harsh.
Life takes practice as I seek my wisdom
And sort out my judgement.
It takes silence, patience and most of all
A steadiness to hang in there as I
Reflect on my wisdom versus my
Ego. There is power in vulnerability.
Among peers, one’s journey owning
Their inner power is also a solo journey.
I am remembering while in a mediumship practice
Circle, I was struggling and sharing
My struggle and revealed my doubts
about my connection and inner wisdom
Will my ego ever quiet?
Will I continuously
Struggle and doubt who
I am and be led by my fears?
I yearn to trust my wisdom.
I yearn to sit quiet within
Because my wisdom is within.
I ache for recognition
From my center.
My mentor was present.
In the poignant pause as I breathed,
a participant blurts out
Tell your inner critic to shut up!
I have struggled too long
berated by my inner judge
to keep me small and quiet
and invisible.
Gentleness is the answer
not intimidation or force or neglect.
How do I speak to my inner fear?
Gentleness is the answer.
I answered back as an advocate
for me, the tender seeker
who deserves only love,
respect and above all tenderness.
My mentor assured me
the battle is normal and
will abate in time as I accept
the truth of my wisdom.
The whole encounter was a few moments
and represented a lifetime
listening and ignoring
inner wisdom and inner fear
I discern my mentor’s wisdom.
I discern another’s opinion.
I weigh what works for me.
I ignore what doesn’t.
Thank you for sharing.
No pushback or glaring.
I’m the gatekeeper of
my inner world.
I choose what works for me.
I write my recipe for love and
respect as I push the walls of
my fearful world farther out
and take a full breath in
allowing me to break free
from my inner critic
who all along has been
my inner child
head in hands
screaming for safety
comfort and love.
The struggle will always be present
Because I am human living as a
Spiritual being.
I’m here.
I am steady.
I hear you.
I am safe.
I am free.
Self-Observation Without Judgment
Release the harsh and pointed inner
voice. it's just a throwback to the past,
and holds no truth about this moment.
