“Perfectionism can really get in our way.
It can stop us in our tracks from even starting.
It can make us feel like we’re never going to be good enough.”

You are in a body, and your body is all kinds of things.
It's not just a physical, material object.
It's an energetic, creative force.
It's a continually changing, ever-evolving entity.
Love yourself enough to allow your emotions to flow.
Once you do this, everything opens up and life can move for you.
xo, Rachel

Reaching for the pain, this time to love it. Falling into the softness of my heart. Spaciousness inside. Resting. Expanding. Releasing. Remembering.

The shadow is the repressed parts of ourselves that we abandon, deny existence of, and find unpleasant.
Shadow work is a process of connecting who we consciously are with the parts of ourselves that we repress and suppress.
We shine the light of our own conscious awareness toward the unconscious inner realms to understand ourselves so we can integrate and grow.
We do this through cultivating deep LOVE to transmute those difficult feelings and parts of ourselves. Love is the only way to heal and release hatred and fear.
This is ‘the work’ that will transform your life.
Join me.
We are stepping even further into the Unknown, with the utmost tender, loving, care.

Heart Healing for All.
During the session today, I shared an affirmation I wrote and shared recently in one of my recent Sacred Flame posts:
Here is affirmation for easy access:
This affirmation is an invocation for the energy of Unconditional Love to be the dominant frequency of your life. When you grow the energy of unconditional love inside you everything loving will flow from there into your life and out from your heart.
Speak these words aloud to yourself, merging your heart energy with your words as you speak:
I am that I am.
I invoke the highest frequency of unconditional love.
I am surrounded in a field of loving protection. I am in my body. I am present.
As I breathe, I begin to move into a gentle observing awareness of my life.
With gratitude for all that I have learned and all the love received, I let go of any ideas from the past of who, or what I thought I was supposed to be. I allow this natural time of transformation to cleanse my spirit, so that I may reveal myself anew.
No need for guilt or shame or punishment for mistakes. No need for scolding or even praise. Just a gentle acknowledgment and release of what was, with a blessing and understanding that I no longer am what I was.
I am willing to come to terms, and embrace the newness of life.
Letting go of the reins, and focusing on what life is presenting to me in this moment, reminds me that life is in charge.
I realize that I am here to simply attend to each moment and in this moment, I recognize the need to focus my awareness on the inner spiritual wisdom frequencies of life. As I do so, I become a beacon and a generator of divine love on the planet.
In service to this sacred calling, I allow my healing process to be a gift to the collective. My personal evolution is fueling more beauty, love, and healing in my life and the world. This is how I nurture my garden, by remembering that I am a being of energy and have an effect on others and life itself.
I am a vital aspect of the web of life. As I remember to accept myself, detach from the draining attachments to stories that perpetuate self loathing, and imbue my awareness with profound forgiveness and compassion, my life unfolds miraculously.
I merge with the energy of unconditional love, receive compassion to love all the parts of me that feel unlovable, to forgive all mistakes that I haven’t fully forgiven, and feel the flow of pure loving kindness radiate into my heart, and out from my heart.
Now, sit in the energy of your breath while imagining pure divine love flowing through you. You are loved unconditionally. Let yourself get in touch with that more and more each day.
xo, Rachel

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object. Ram Dass

“When you are in the presence of unconditional love, that is the optimum environment for your heart to open, because you feel safe, because you realize nobody wants anything from you. The minute that heart opens, you are once again letting in the flow. And that flow is where you experience God.” - Ram Dass
