UNLESS YOU BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN…
UNLESS YOU BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN…
When I started on my healing journey about 4 years ago, I had no idea where to begin. As much as I “Googled” and read and searched, it really came down to what my own heart was telling me, and so began my story…my transformation…my spiritual awakening…my truth…ME.
I believe that there are many things we can sink into that will help in this healing process; books, journaling, classes, retreats, exercises, mind and bodywork, therapies, art…and the list goes on and on. Many of these things have helped me but I believe that you must find what works for you. What rings true? What speaks to you? What draws you in? When does your heart and soul say, ”That interests me!”
I want to share ONE thing that I find that pertains to EVERY single human. ONE thing that looks good on everyone. ONE thing you can start doing immediately that will start that transformation process. And this my friends is VULNERABILITY. That’s IT. Just one thing, RIGHT NOW.
Is being vulnerable easy? HECK NO! If you’re not uncomfortable and uneasy and a little bit terrified, then you’re not being vulnerable. If you don’t feel exposed and raw and afraid to speak and share your heart, your struggle, your suffering, your fears, your joys, your heartache, your doubts, your love…your reality…then most likely, you haven’t felt the elation of your heart and mind and soul expanding.
How does it make you feel when someone is vulnerable with you or when you read something that really touches your heart? I know what I feel. There’s immediate connection. There’s a softness in my heart toward that person. How can I not love someone who is real and who is sharing their deepest truth?! All of us human creatures are hungry for that. There are many souls who are starving for truth, not falseness.
You might ask, “How can I be vulnerable?” Start small. Give something away that you’ve kept locked in your chest or throat to someone you trust. Share a truth. Share something you’re afraid of. Share something you are passionate about. Share an experience. Share who you are. Offering other people a glimpse into your heart will only build stronger relationships and deeper connections.
You will be surprised and in awe of the doors and opportunities and connections that just being VULNERABLE will open for you. The mystery of your life awaits. Your face will transform into light. Your heart will spill with more love. Your joy will become more full. THIS IS BEAUTY. You hold the key. Take it out of your pocket of fear and start unlocking the bounty of your life.
“Unless you become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven.” ~Jesus (Matt 18). Who are more vulnerable than little children? They are not afraid of what other’s will think. They are not afraid to spill every ounce of their little souls…and little children love like their lives depend on it.
