Your Message is A Gift
Last week I gathered 36 people together to witness the talk I wrote in this course.
I did it in my own way (sitting down in between singing kirtan with my harmonium and teaching a yoga class). It was at an event I put together to celebrate raising the funds to publish my first book... and it was powerful...it went just as I envisioned...
But let me tell you, the resistance I faced in the month leading up was INTENSE. There were days I felt like I could have thrown up! I often wondered, "What have I done?" "Am I going to embarrass myself in front of all the people I love??"
I came back to my practices, repeatedly. I did the pre-stage ritual, I danced. I sang. I moved the energy. I connected to my angels. I listened to Kc Baker's recording where she talked to us about self-trust, multiple times. And ultimately I offered it up. I let go and trusted in myself, and the universe.
Immediately afterwards I knew I had given not only a profound gift to my audience, but also a profound gift to myself.
It is extremely powerful to be witnessed in your power. It felt like a huge rite of passage (something that has been so lost in our culture)... something I longed to receive for so long...
As soon as I finished speaking an older woman in the audience came right up to me and grabbed my hands, looked me right in the eye and said, "Keep doing what you're doing." In that moment I truly felt the immensity of my power. That power KC speaks of, and that we all have.
When you follow a calling, and face a fear, you are giving yourself a profound gift. You are giving everyone around you a profound gift.
If you have been wavering on a message you have to share - please give yourself this gift. You are immensely powerful and this experience will show you that. You have been called to share a message and there are people out there who need it.
Trust yourself. Don't let fear hold you back.
My boyfriend managed to film the talk, it is the short version at about 12 minutes long. You're welcome to watch it above.
And please, listen to your callings. There is an immensity of POWER waiting to be unlocked inside of you when you take that first step to follow them.
