The Elements Four

Restore, Release, & Reclaim Restore what is yours... your sense of safety & security within your own being. Release what isn't... labels & opinions of others, false & limiting beliefs that are not aligned with you. Reclaim your truth, strength, and personal power! Story time, lovelies! In 2018, I was the survivor of a brutal attack while alone in the city. It was mid-day, & I was shopping for my family when an armed unknown man broke into my car & abducted me from the store parking lot. I don't think I need to go into crazy detail here... I was SA'd by this person & listened as he threatened my children if I reported what happened to the police. Needless to say, I was shattered by this... & so was my husband and our children... it left a huge wound that took a very long time & a LOT of work to heal. As a result, I didn't go into the city alone for many years... choosing to drive with other people or opting out of going into the city altogether. I would have panic attacks any time I thought about being alone in the city, flashing back to that day, I felt so powerless & vulnerable at the hands of someone else. But I knew this couldn't last forever... I did not want this person, this fu***ng stranger, to have this kind of power over me! He didn't deserve that... I DESERVED to hold my own power! So, I worked on myself, my healing, my growth, & development. There were times I was strong & so very powerful, & there were times I was so raw & lost within that open wound of trauma... both equally me, both completely valid & accepted. But, eventually, I got to a place where I once again felt safe within my body & safe within my surroundings... & I started to drive, ALONE, into the city again... & I'm so FU***NG PROUD of myself & all I've accomplished in the process. Yes, there is a past version of me that is incredibly proud of where I am now... I have restored my safety & security. I have released my fear & the false label of being "helpless victim"... & I have once again reclaimed my truth, strength, & personal power! It is possible, lovelies... with self dedication & time it IS possible... & YOU ARE WORTH IT! Lots of love to you all ❤️

Our shadows can be our greatest teachers.

Do not shame, fight, hide, or ignore your shadows, they are aspects of yourself that were created out of necessity during some of the hardest times in our live. Our shadows can be our greatest teachers if we choose to listen and learn from what they are trying to tell us, which is, essentially, that they wish to protect us in the only way they know how.

Instead, give your shadows a safe space to be seen and expressed with loving tenderness and understandings. Listen to what they have to say, to the fear and worry that they express, knowing they are showing you the most vulnerable parts of your inner being that have been discarded for far too long.

Then, when you are ready, embrace your shadows and thank them for all they have shown you...for all the ways they tried to protect you. But then, with comfort and grace, let them know you are ready for a new way of being, a new way of living, a new way of thriving...and you will now lead the way.

Healing takes a strong level of commitment & dedication to oneself, fully & completely no matter what one may find along the way.

It takes a level of courage & curiosity as you uncover the truths of your traumas that have been lingering within you for so very long…& a willingness to untangle the triggers that stem from these traumas & affect a verity of aspects within your everyday life.

When you walk this path, you find yourself diving into the depths of your shadows, exposing everything that laid hidden from awareness, every truth that was established in a space of denial…. Seeing not only what you’ve experienced but what you have made others experience as well, that can be a very difficult part.

This journey also brings with it a need for gentleness & compassion towards yourself that you, perhaps, have never been given before… understanding that many of these actions came from a wounded space of unresolved pain & only desired to do one thing…keep you safe.

Keep you safe from feeling pain, rejection, failure…from having to endure any more trauma & strife in your life. Because, as we untangle our triggers and sweep away our shadows, we see amid it all a small lingering light…a piece of our own light that cloaked itself within the darkness of these defense mechanisms out of fear & necessity for self-survival.

As we unveil this truth, this tiny part of ourselves requires a great deal of love & grace…providing a safe & caring space to be both expressed & to integrate with your current state of being…nurturing your entire being mind, body, & soul.

This is shadow work, true shadow work & expression of self-love that can be difficult but is so, so very worth it…because YOU are worth it!

Looks like you forgot, once again, how powerful YOU are! You have ALWAYS been powerful...and you continue to be so...now is the time to remember your power, your strength, your amazing beauty and thrive within your world! . . . . .
