Awakening, Self-Acceptance, Nurturing

The process of awakening is usually a slow and gradual process. It is often done by a conscious effort and takes incredible determination. While on that path of awakening you must always anxiously be prepared to embrace those opportunities that allow for the process to be greatly speeded up. This occurs when you take action to associate with spiritually potent people who can inspire you, visit sacred places whose energy can break through dimensional barriers, or study something that is profound in its ability to inform and inspire you. Usually these opportunities involve a process of going deep within yourself and being willing to face the darkest side of your being. This internal journey feels almost like voluntarily re-entering the womb. Often it is Mother Earth that creates the nurturing energy for this experience to take place. Trust in nature to protect you while at the same time providing you with the physical and mental challenges to force you to strip away all sense of material comfort and security and dive deeply into the core of your essence. While in this state of seeming helplessness and confusion the possibility for the greatest growth can occur. Once you are able to give up the facade of who you pretend to be and instead deeply connect with your original, eternal essence then your awakening can truly take place. Relish the opportunity for such an experience. Take full advantage of the wonderful nurturing properties of nature. Be willing to accept all aspects of your being and become truly awakened to the completeness of your being. Your awakening will serve the entire world, as each enlightened individual has the power to influence the lives of millions of other souls.
