Do you ever experience the gap between knowing better and feeling better? Your mind knows exactly what is going on and what needs to happen to shift — yet the very tool you rely on suddenly stops delivering the result you expected.
This is exactly what I experienced this week when I felt pressure but couldn’t seem to let go. My mind knew what to do. I applied my usual go-to tools. But my heart had another plan entirely. Join me as I open up my journal to share where I was and the insights that unfolded — insights that may support you too.
Have you ever wondered why inner work seems never-ending, or why certain feelings keep cycling back no matter what you do? It’s likely because you are experiencing your emotions evolving beyond your human understanding to a deeper spiritual recognition that will set you free. What you feel was never meant to be suppressed or something you have to fix within yourself. Instead, your feelings are doorways to a deeper truth, love, and power that your mind alone simply cannot access.
There is a miracle that has resided within you from the beginning, which was designed to support you in reclaiming your truth. Simultaneously, there have always been people and systems in place to undermine you from claiming it. So much so that when we actually have the courage to face our truth, it has been often deliberately misconstrued as weakness. Yet when you don’t buy into that narrative and instead allow this miracle to work through you, through all the challenges that come with gaining self-gnosis, you are rewarded with even greater love, self-trust, and ease. But because this kind of power is difficult to control, it’s vital to become aware of the ways authoritarian systems work to keep you from trusting yourself.
There’s a story that has been woven into our society that comes with a deep and horrific cost. This is the story of a woman’s nature and regardless of your gender, this impacts us all. Because the stories we believe about how we are innately created, impacts how we treat ourselves and allow ourselves to be treated.
This is a call to recognize the ways we, as women, have been made to believe that you are fundamentally broken, that your heart cannot be trusted, and that worthiness must be earned. Long before we could question it, many of us absorbed a story about ourselves from our relationships, to our choices of what we feel we are worthy of, and the way we respond to our own mistakes.
What kind of spiritual person wouldn’t want to consider themselves good? The concept of “good” is an interesting one, because in our minds, if we aren’t good, we must be bad. And spiritual people work very hard not to be bad — at least not intentionally.
But here’s the thing: when the ego gets attached to anything, including being good, it can mean doing what others will approve of rather than fully following our truth. And that’s where things get sticky, because the ego will do its darnedest to keep that hidden from us. It will tell us that our neutrality is good because it keeps the peace — and it won’t let us recognize the harm that neutrality is actually causing.
