Let's talk about how to show up in your life as the highest and best version of yourself AKA your soul self.

We’re going to demystify this idea that finding yourself and becoming yourself is something that you do outside of yourself, it’s really a journey that you take in, of and with yourself.

There are three levels of our being, I'm not talking about Body Mind Spirit, that's a conversation for a different time, I’m talking about the Ego, the Shadow and the Spirit.

Together, we're going to break each of these down to have a better understanding of them and then we'll be talking about how you can start to align with your spirit more and how you can show up in your life as your spirit.

The Shadow is all of the wounded aspects of yourself,  every negative comment someone's made about you that makes you feel small, every limiting belief, every moment of feeling like you're not good enough. These thoughts/feelings can be something you're consciously aware of or it could be something you're unconsciously aware of. This can show up as self sabotage, people pleasing, perfectionism, etc.

Next we have our Ego. Our ego’s job is to protect the shadow, to protect us from experiencing more hurt, more discomfort, more pain. The Ego will do a lot of things to make sure this happens. One is to show up as perfect so no one knows about the painful aspects of ourselves. Another is casting judgment, because if we're judging, we get to project the hurt and pain before it hits us. The Ego is responsible for all of the fear we experience. Fear can be both a good thing and a bad thing, our ego doesn't know the difference between the fear of doing uncomfortable (but good) things for ourselves and the fear of a life or death situation (aka survival). Our Ego is always self-sabotaging us, whether we recognize it or not.

The final layer of our being is our spirit. Our soul is pure unconditional Consciousness, pure unconditional love, pure unconditional Joy. We are Spiritual Beings living a Human Experience, which means we all have a spirit but sometimes it’s so deep within us that it feels like we can't access it. This happens because of our life experiences, pain, hurt, trauma, liming beliefs, etc. To protect us our Ego puts up these walls of judgment, of attack, of fear, of manipulation. It thinks that it’s protecting us but really it’s just separating us from our authentic self.

We show up in our lives in one of two ways, one is out of love and one is out of fear. When we show up in the world in alignment with fear, we are showing up in alignment with our ego, when we show up in alignment with love, we are showing up in alignment with our soul self. You can make two exact same decisions with different energy behind them.

To be your soul self, acknowledge how you are showing up in your life, is it with love or is it with fear?

Practice quieting the ego (lovingly), healing your shadow & create space for your soul to show up in the world.
