SUBTLE SENSORY WISDOM... & THE VAULT

8/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Listening to the subtle wisdom that whispers through the magical vessel of your body is almost impossible at first.

Decades of programing that has trained you to be nice, polite and kind to others has also taught you to ignore, push aside and abandon your-self.

Your desire to be loved, belong and feel safe has created a vault in which your longings, your objections, your cravings, your clarity, your intuition, your impulses and your aliveness has been locked away so as to not rock the boat that holds and houses you.

And after some time, be it weeks, years or decades there is no more room in the vault. So you go about building a bigger vault, with stronger walls, thicker chains and bigger padlocks.

You become tired, exhausted even, spending so much time and energy maintaining your vault. You feel bloated inside as it takes up more and more space and eventually it seems there is no room to move.

And then it happens. As you open the lid just a sliver to shove in yet one more small, seemingly insignificant impulse, the vault explodes open.
​
For a moment, until you manage to force the lid closed once again, a torrent of sadeness flows, volcanic rage errupts, fear tremmors through like a unexpected and uninvited earthquake through your tender body.
Picture
It is terrifying. You'd forgotten what you'd put in that vault, or that it even existed. Until now. And you realise that you've been numb for years or maybe decades to the possibilities that lay dormant within.

You begin to remember that a long long time ago you chose to hide your true self away in the name of safety... and realise is was not 'safe' at all.

As you take a closer look you begin to see that the vault is powerful beyond your mind's belief. It is in fact not a vault at all, but a treasure chest. A place where you've hidden your most valuble riches that were too bright, too unsafe, too much in contrast to a culture that hasn't learnt how to feel, and sense and listen to the subtle wisdom of its human body.

It seems scary at first, to look inside. There is soooo much in there that it can appear toooo big to let out. Something in you knows it will be worth it. Even though it may take time, and will and courage a force of love like you've never known before to commit to stepping into the unknown and trust the gifts that these treasures have to offer.

As your curiosity draws you to look inside, you will be called to create new spaces and friends and cultures even, within which to express and release your treasures from your chest.

As they will be wild, and unruly and even crazy at first. And they will need these new spaces and new friends and new cultures to hold them as they spill out.... Let them be. They have been locked in that tight dark space for way too long.

What you will most likely discover in the process, is that your permission to gradually release all of your teasures is, in itself, the revealing of a new story where safety and love and belonging emerges from within.

And once the big rains pour and the storms roll through and the earthquakes shake you to your core... the seas will calm and you you will have infinite space within for all of your longings, your objections, your cravings, your clarity, your intuition, your impulses and your aliveness that were once locked away to flow through, to be seen, to be valued, to be heard, to be loved.

And in the spaciousness of being you, you attune to the Subtle Sensory Wisdom that is speaking through you in every breathing moment. Guided by all that is... you.

with love
