Inspiration- Connecting To You!
Let’s begin gently.Take a slow, deep inhale through your nose… and exhale softly through your mouth.Feel your shoulders drop. Feel your body arrive right here.Imagine a warm sunrise spreading across your chest—quiet, steady, welcoming you home. Acknowledging where you are When someone asks to reconnect with their authentic self, it often comes from a feeling of disconnection, confusion, or pressure to be something you’re not. There may be a sense that your true voice has been crowded out by expectations, roles, or the need to please. Take another breath—and simply notice: “Something real in me wants to be heard.” Gently exploring what pulled you away Many of us learn early to adapt in order to feel accepted or safe. John Bradshaw taught that when our authentic feelings weren’t welcomed, we learned to perform instead of be. Over time, the performance can feel like “me,” even when it isn’t. Ask yourself softly (no forcing an answer): - When do I feel most like myself? - When do I feel like I’m shrinking, editing, or wearing a mask? Just notice. Awareness alone begins the return. A grounding insight Eckhart Tolle reminds us that your authentic self is not something you must create—it’s something you uncover by becoming present. The false layers dissolve not through effort, but through gentle attention. Your truth lives beneath urgency, beneath comparison, beneath noise.Stillness is the doorway. A simple reconnection practice (5 minutes) Try this once a day, or whenever you feel off-center: 1. Sit comfortably and place a hand over your heart. 2. Breathe slowly and imagine soft waves of light moving in and out of your chest. 3. Silently ask: “What feels true for me right now?” 4. Don’t search for words. Let sensations, feelings, or images arise. 5. End by saying inwardly: “I allow myself to be real.” That’s it. No fixing. No judging. A small daily anchor Each evening, write one sentence: “Today, I felt most like myself when I ___.” Over time, these moments reveal your authentic rhythm.
