New Beginnings, Stretching, and Trusting the Path
The Nature Within
Trust.
In times (and pockets) of growth, and in new patterning and stretching, discomfort is required. Feelings of discomfort will happen. That’s a guarantee. The gift is finding the courage and strength to not run away from it, ignore it, or push it down.
So, what do I know and feel to be true?
In my line of work, I see common themes in the paths frequently journeyed by others. What I know to be true is that the frequently traveled path is not necessarily my own.
Within every zing and zap to push back or retreat from discomfort, I must pause and move forward with radical trust.
I’m a big fan of trusting the feelings I receive from my intuition. I also know there are plenty of counterforces for every forceful action, so I’m allowing my nature to guide itself the rest of the way.
I see all kinds of counterforce implications that we often impose on ourselves in this land of plenty. We push, force, and desire all the things that help us feel a little bit more comforted. We seek validation, connection, and safety as a means of keeping ourselves connected to whatever path we are choosing.
The world supports us in whatever way we choose, but it can also tempt us with imbalance and misalignment. I’ve often thought about how the universe is constantly in motion, seemingly out of control. Yet we seek control to lessen the impact of anything new. We try to limit the element of surprise and, more importantly, the discomfort that comes with it.
But what I know to be true now is this: I believe in myself.
I believe in my quest and in helping others find their way, whether it’s through casual conversation, in-person services at TNW, my writing, social media, or my newest, uncomfortable endeavor… YouTube.
The Nature Within has a YouTube channel!
It’s a raw look into me, my practices, and the wisdom behind how we often get stuck in fear-based mindsets and feelings of unworthiness.
I am definitely not a guru or a sage. I don’t claim to be. But what I do believe is that I have certain qualities, gifts, and abilities that help guide me into practices that make me feel better and support others along their journey.
For the first time in 52 years, I am completely content with myself.
I completely believe in myself, no matter what discomfort comes about.
We all deal with our own stuff, our own shadows, and our own believed limitations. I am not here to convince others to live in any particular way or fuel their energies in areas that don’t feel quite right to them.
The power of authenticity and knowing ourselves is that we lessen our need for approval from others. That, too, takes significant work to move through. I know it did for me.
When we begin to accept ourselves exactly as we are, it radiates outwardly into the world. Authentic contentment has a special energetic property that others can feel.
This is the best part of what new beginnings are all about.
Not necessarily becoming someone different, but becoming more comfortable with who we already are. Trusting ourselves enough to stretch, to explore, to feel uncomfortable, and to keep moving without needing everyone else to understand our direction.
So, if you’re interested in following along, The Nature Within LLC now has a YouTube channel. It’s another opportunity for me to share, connect, and explore the things that continue to help me grow.
Know you. Be you.
I know I am.
