Sometimes the only way to get to the core of the wound is to play out the drama. To own your role as the main character of your life and creator of your reality. Sometimes we have to lean all the way into the drama to see the absurdity of our circumstances. When we allow ourselves to play out this role and identity fully, we zoom out of our victim narratives. We create space to laugh at ourselves, bringing a lightness to what has been dark and heavy. The humor provides perspective and helps us see and own the drama we’ve perpetuated from our untended wounds.

Once we’re able to see the core of the wound and the drama it created to get your attention, we begin the process of sorting through conditioning to reclaim the Self. What stories are keeping you trapped in this karmic cycle? What deeper parts of Self are screaming out to be seen? Once we identify what is not ours to carry, we can compost these stories to feed the parts of Self that are eager to emerge. We deep dive into the belief system to clarify what conditioning and subconscious programming is running your life and the Truth and values you are here to embody.

Death offers us the opportunity to close a cycle for good. We must cellularly integrate the wisdom cultivated from our experiences of suffering and devour our lessons whole. We must suck the marrow from the bones of our dead corpse (metaphorically, of course). This is where we source the nourishment that will sustain us through our rebirth. This is the time to integrate the lessons that the drama came to teach us. To hydrate our cells with the meaning and purpose gleaned from the experiences of our suffering. This part of the process is essential to ensure we close the cycle and don’t have to repeat lessons we’ve already learned.

Remember who you are. Remember why you are here. In the depths of darkness, our light shines brightest. As we shed our old skin, we see what was hiding underneath the masks. Our Truth. Our power. Our purpose. This experience will test you in ways that show you the strength of that eternal flame within you. The initiations will bring you to the edge and ask you to have faith and leap into the unknown. As you surrender to this place, you are reconnected with your inner well of power. You hear familiar whisperings from your Soul, gently reminding you of your Divine purpose. You remember that you came here to play a sacred role only you can play.

Be with the grief. Let it change you. Be with the excitement of what’s to come. Let it expand your perception of what’s possible. Whatever is arising, we create space to be with what is. We don’t force ourselves to feel anything, rather we create space to let what naturally wants to come forward to arise from the depths of our being.
