Ministration, Nurturing, Inner Journey

You cannot be effective in trying to serve the needs of others unless you also nurture your own body and soul. Attending to your own spiritual and physical needs will allow you to effectively serve others over the long haul as opposed to burning yourself out by giving without replenishing yourself. That replenishment must often come through the process of an inner journey into the deepest recesses of your soul. Be willing to confront the darkest aspects of your being and be willing to remain in the darkness of not knowing. If you can remain balanced at this stage then you are able to go deeper then ever before and dwell in the aspect of the greatest potential. It is not until you get away from all of your identity-defining props and search out the deepest and often darkest aspects of who you really are that you gain the freedom to truly become in completely empowered individual you are destined to be.
