Integrity
Do you back yourself? This week has brought many messages to examine integrity. The only opinion that really matters is our own. An invitation to trust ourselves and our inner guidance.
Deep within your being is the part of you that knows you are the creator of your life. When you grow faith that this is so, that anything is possible, you step back into your power and close the gap between Ego and Higher Self.
When this isn’t so, the power of the I AM has been challenged - by others perhaps, but mostly by the self. Remember whatever we state after this deceptively small phrase becomes our truth.
I AM sad
I AM unhappy
I AM alone
I AM hurt
Any of these familiar? They are only the Ego voicing its opinion loudly, trying to gain traction.
[As I sit typing this overlooking the vast treescape that is my outlook, I see the pink tinge of sunrise kissing the dawn. It is my favourite time of day!]
The Ego is only of this lifetime - what it creates, knowingly or unknowingly holds energy that will follow us from lifetime to lifetime. And it fears this, it fears death because it does not yet understand that this is only one miniscule act in a play called the Infinite Being You Are.
This week I listened to the recount of a man who remembers coming into the body and being born without having to use regression to do so. Very cool. And an insightful reminder for the Ego of the illusion we call this life.
It’s time to remember the Infinite Being you are by slowing down, taking time to look at the life that you have created so far and consider what you want the future to look like.
All the possibles that the Ego throws into the mix come from fear, doubt and insecurity.
The aligned notions placed as ‘winks’ by Source, the angelic realm, and our guides FEEL wonderful.
How will we notice our guided path if we don’t create space to reflect and notice what feels right?
Hush, Ego. All is well. I have played your game so long, and it has brought me here - doubts, fears and overthinking intact. Now it is my turn. I choose to acknowledge my ability to create life as I dream it to be. I am ready to take a chance on me.
I AM powerful
I AM compassion
I AM faith
I AM grace
I AM love
Activity - Unfurl and Expand!
Here is an expansive exercise from Inne Segal to help strengthen integrity by digging into what truly aligns.
Consider
Brainstorm a current opportunity, dream or situation and record it from as many perspectives as possible. Eg, the Ego will have different ideas than your guided self. Write them all down.
Then consider the short and long term impact of various options.
Breathe. Notice what your gut is telling you.
Listen for the little whisper (or shout!).
Ask yourself, what do you truly, deeply, believe in?
Make a decision - this is your power. Trust that the consequences of your decision will not define you, but will move you forward to the next decision as needed.
Do
Then find a clear patch of Mother Earth - grass or sand or dirt - and take your shoes off.
Look down and visualise a large golden circle of light on the ground before you.
Step into it and with your left arm by your side and your right arm raised to Source say:
THIS IS ME.
Feel the strength of standing in your integrity, taking as long as you need to feel grounded and aligned.
You are infinitely worthy, blessed and deserving of all that is rightfully yours.
Claim it!
