Our culture still holds so much shame around our humanity. I see even in the “self-growth” and spiritual community, this language around ‘getting rid of,’ ‘competing against,’ ‘winning over’ certain aspects of our human selves. From my experience, I don’t find this helpful nor productive.

There are no parts to get rid of. If we’re fighting against, or competing with, certain aspects of ourselves, we’re in battle with ourselves. We’re in separation, fragmentation and in conflict. How can we then feel whole?

The moment we judge an aspect, we’re in conflict with it and all our energy goes towards that fight. I’ve found the quickest way to healing and wholeness (which we already are, we just keep fragmenting ourselves every time we segregate a part of ourselves from ourselves) is by walking towards our pain, sadness and fear, warmly embracing them, allowing them to sit safely in the lap of love.

Love is the ultimate alchemist, we just need to hold the very thing we want to get rid of. Because really, all these aspects are, are scared, younger parts of us that have spent a large part of our life being rejected, abandoned or ignored.

The fastest way to heal is to walk towards and to let go of judgment. When we embrace all of ourselves, we feel free, confident, capable. We stand in our vulnerability and feel its power not its misconstrued weakness. We feel comfortable in our own skin vs insecure. We are at home.

You don’t need to be ashamed of your humanity. You’re meant to be human and being human means you’ll have all sorts of emotions. You’ll be sensitive. You’ll feel vulnerable. Guess what? It’s all normal. So if you want to step towards wholeness, stop being ashamed of your humanity and start embracing it, instead.

Tune in for more…

Loving you from afar,
