Integrating the Shadow

Posted on by caseystevens888
We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds – the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.
-Carolyn Myss

 

When our minds dominate so much of our lives, we tend to feel internally fragmented.

The nature of the mind is to seek understanding and safety.

Splitting life into good/ bad and right/ wrong is a very natural process because it helps us to survive. But splitting life into polarities also creates tremendous suffering within us. 

Why?

Because we grow up learning that some parts of us are “good” while other parts of us are “bad.” We then attach to the “good” parts of ourselves and repress or deny the “bad” parts of ourselves.

When we start to perceive ourselves in a fragmented way, we feel flawed, lacking, and incomplete. We start to feel insecure, anxious, lonely, depressed, and in some extreme cases suicidal.

Our true essence has been diluted. ⠀⠀

We greatly crave to love and embrace ourselves, but how can we fully accept who we are when we hate some parts of ourselves and love other parts?

When we integrate, we unite different parts of ourselves that may have been missing. 

It is in this process we can begin the journey toward true healing.

In order to repair, heal, and grow on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level, it’s important to visit the darker parts of ourselves, often called our Shadow.

The Shadow isn’t just the wounded part of us, but it is also the path towards a more authentic and fulfilling life, a path to becoming whole again.

It may feel frightening at first, but it’s the most important step if you want to experience deep, lasting healing.

But you don’t have to do it alone.

I can offer loving guidance as you peel back the layers to all parts of yourself so you may reconnect to the truth of who you are.

When the timing feels divine, please know that I am always here for you.

The Liminal Space

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

What has the new year birthed for you as you now settle into February?

It is my belief that whatever is most alive for you in the present moment, and the surrounding energy, internally or externally, has value to offer.

Activations hold wisdom to share about how you orient yourself to an obstacle. Do you re-enforce the pattern, or do you evolve beyond it?

In the Northern Hemisphere, we are in the midst of winter, and on the surface nature appears to be dormant and depleted of life.

Yet, it is not. Much is happening here. 

Snow has just fallen, branches are naked, and the adjacent mountains blanketed in white. The water has frozen into ice.

Everything feels cold, slow, quiet and still. Yet, I am acutely aware of the ephemeralness of life.  

My internal landscape echoes this sentiment as I have blocked time away from clients, family, friends, partnership, electronics, social media, rushing, giving, and doing – to just be inside the holy chamber of my heart. To live presently and completely inside my body and the ways it’s asking to be nurtured and where it is ready to grow next.

A conscious pause.

Are you experiencing a hibernation like this?

Under the ground, the energy of the nature of earth is stirring, and a sweet life force is awakening…

By acknowledging this transition, we are consciously honoring the space between the seasons, the liminal space. The subtle energy of life. The fertile void between worlds.

In this way, we may honor the experiences within our own lives and timelines – the in-between spaces of life and the multiple dimensions of our being.

It’s normal to feel an emptiness or loneliness, because what once was, is now gone, and what will be, has yet to fully manifest or arrive.

I am noticing the polarization between worlds. I am allowing myself to linger in this subtle energy separate from the past, and the future. Fully present with what is. 

There’s a profound power that lives in ‘the space between’.  It’s the subliminal void when what was has ended, and what follows next hasn’t yet begun.

I am aware of the anticipation stirring. 

This is a sacred pause essential for growth. In the liminal space, infinite possibilities exist, but none have been chosen or experienced.

In order to make room within ourselves for the miraculous to take root, we must linger in this void of cosmic consciousness.

Welcome the sacred pause.

Surrender our known life of limitations, fear and control. 

My hope for you is to embrace this time of hibernation trusting that alchemy happens here. Your spirit grows and evolves inside the container of this inward dimension of stillness and quietude because all has slowed down enough to allow the discomfort to emerge, to fully feel it, and to consciously open to more.

The divine intelligence of nature, the growing energy of the season is supporting you in that powerful work.  Rhythmic harmony.

I chose to consciously harmonize with this liminal space in order to discover more of my true nature and my current highest evolution.

I came here because my heart craves this sacred wisdom.  It is not at peace without embarkation into the void.

 

When you enter silence and stillness can you truly meet yourself there? 
Do you dare linger in the chamber of your heart and truly listen? 
Would you be willing to let go of who you are and what you think you believe to become even more?

 

May you know your worthiness at the deepest level, today and every day, and witness your connection to the greater cycles of life separate from your traditions, rituals, culture, religion, ceremonies, spirituality or faith practices. 

It is all just a mirror for you.

From my solitary sojourn of yoga, meditation, basti, and so many Ancient East Indian healing rituals and practices and journeys this week, I have found you lingering in my heart still, and I simply wanted to welcome you into your own reflective container, whatever that is for you. 

Welcome newness, welcome the unknown. 

It is my experience and belief that ALL MIRACLES exist in this holy landscape.  

My sincere wish is that you illuminate and greet the miracles meant for you.

 

Holy Spirit,

giving life to all life, moving all creatures,

root of all things,

washing them clean,

wiping out their mistakes,

healing their wounds,

you are our true life,

luminous, wonderful,

awakening the heart

from its ancient sleep.

The Sacred Journey of Becoming

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

I believe that we each enter this life with a very specific blueprint to fulfill in this timeline as a spark of the Divine.

Are you aware of your blueprint design? It’s the meaning of your life here: your purpose, your pathway, your karma, your contracts, your connections, and your enlightenment.

When we are able to truly perceive our self, our longings and deepest desires through the eyes of a Divine Intelligence, we are able to see more clearly our unique pathway and discern the essential steps, resources and guidance needed to proceed on our personal journey toward fulfillment. 

The ability to self-witness and thereby access our own personal power helps us to play a bigger role in the healing of ourselves, our loved ones and to contribute to the Collective Consciousness.

When we learn to shift at the subconscious level, transmuting imprints from the past, our external world begins to look different and opportunities arise which were invisible to us before. 
Opportunity unfolds.
The invisible made transparent. We can see ourselves, and the world around us with Eagle medicine – clear objective sight.

Commitment to the healing of our woundedness opens a gateway to shifts at a deep level.  This is when the fragmented parts within our internal landscape begin to reorganize and provide fresh, luminous perspectives to come into focus within our external world. We gain clear insight into ourselves. We commune with the knowing being within. 

Life does not happen to us. Rather, life happens through us. This is one of the universal laws to befriend.

The end of suffering depends on knowing who we absolutely are.  When our internal reference point is our true Self, we gain the ability to fulfill our highest potential. Trust fully your longings and desires are the guiding posts. Follow them wholesomely and wholeheartedly.

Be in the awareness of your becoming.

It is when we are truly embodying our Soul’s desires – (which in truth is in opposition to our impulses) – that life opens to us and we can move more freely in tandem with our Sacred Self.

At your core you are a beautiful enigma. Your essence is full of magic and mystery.  It is fearless, it’s wild, it’s honest, it is free.

The power to change your life comes from within.  All healing and creation starts from understanding the field of energies in and around you which are in the process of transforming your life. This clue will help inform you as to what is trying to emerge from your current life’s situation — and how to engage with that dynamic process optimally.

From a state of Conscious awareness, have faith that the chaotic activity in your outer world will never overshadow the energy field of your true wholeness.

Understandably, it takes a lot of courage to begin this sacred journey, but when you are devoted to your true path, alignment is your promised reward. The holy grail to behold.

I too am devoted to your healing.

It is through intuitive guidance that I am able to offer your magnificent unfolding, to help you understand your unique pathway to healing and to reveal the wise truth that exists within which is yearning to be revealed.

When you organize your inner world, you can trust your outer world will reflect a brilliant coherence back to you as a meaningful hologram of radiant love.

Miracles of Love

Posted on by caseystevens888

May grace guide your

journey. Lighting your path

with endless courage,

tenderness and joy.

 

Happy New Year sweet friend!

The Gregorian calendar dictates there is a cycle of new beginnings in January, with the new year. 

I don’t know about you, but I am feeling the revitalization of energy unfolding after an intense holiday season. 

In my family, we celebrate Christmas. And candidly, I adore this time of year, the spirit of connection, celebration of tradition and festivity feels warm and nostalgic for me. 

Showing up in love and support, no matter the circumstances. Come what may.

This experience, and orientation to life provides tremendous comfort for me. I’ve been fortunate to both give and receive from this virtue and benefit from healing power generated through living in this way. 

We can’t control what happens in life but we do have power over how we respond.

My heart is whole knowing I am loving, and I am loved. We are the generators of this love – always.

When we traverse the dark and difficult places in life – and in ourselves – sometimes the simplest gesture of loving generosity can help us remember that another experience is possible. 

It may come in the form of a loving note from a friend, a rainbow after a storm, a hummingbird visit, an inspired session with a healer, the nudges and cuddles from a furry friend attuning to our emotions, a burst of sunlight through the clouds, a kindness from a stranger in the grocery store, or the words of a poet or author in the book on our nightside table.

Allow yourself to witness the small, sweet miracles that sparkle through the darkness. Allow yourself to be the miracle for another.

How worthy is this time spent.

In this new year, I hope we can all be a light for another and allow others to be a light for us when we need it. 

Let’s embrace moments of joy, let’s create laughter, and deeply attune to ourselves and another in supportive kindness. 

Let’s observe what is good and soft. Let us offer compassion through our being-ness.

 

Together, we can make this a beautiful life.
My wishes for you in this coming year are infinite with beauty and wholeness. 
May you feel the loving vibration that you are.

 

And, if I may offer my being as a loving presence to you at any point, it would be my great honor.  Click here to view my list of services or book a free clarity call.

 

Birthing a New World

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

Healing is a slow, steady process.  It is complex and nonlinear.  It takes as long as it takes, and most of the time that is much longer than we hoped it would be.

But like all things in nature, there is a mysterious intelligence to our healing process. And if we trust it, shed what is no longer serving us, and then allow the natural evolution of a new bud to flower in its perfect time without force, we just may find ourselves transformed again and again.

We must trust the great mystery in this miraculous process.⁣

And although many of us hear the call of our inner desires and dreams, it is often difficult to find the path forward to our own awakening.

Surrendering to the great mystery opens you to the ultimate possibility of your life. It awakens the sleeping phoenix inside of you where unimaginable possibilities await.

This is when you uncover your true power and gifts and are able to find meaning in your past trauma. This is when you begin to believe in yourself again and that is when you become powerful beyond belief.

Each of us are being called to use

Our own personal transformation

To help transform the world

Around us. Collectively we

Continue to journey through what

Feels like a harsh awakening.

 

Perhaps the question is, are we willing to stay open enough to let those old, protective ways of being die in order for a new, deeper connection (which is what healing really is) that is built on more stable, steady, loving, nourishing ground for all?

Do you want to have a life with more peace and balance or whatever it is that you might value in terms of an energy consciousness?

We need to become more conscious about where we are out of balance. Why?  Because our soul’s desire is to be in alignment with who we really are.  

That means getting rid of the layers of old constructs and stories that we’ve absorbed or inherited and identifying what really is our true story.

If we were consciously creating that which is of our highest making, what would that look like?  How would we be inside our bodies?

What is the imprint that we are leaving energetically on the world and the people around us? 

Are we in alignment with that or are we just settling for a much lower version of existence?

Healing is happening. It is different for all of us. It will take as long as it takes.  But if we find a way to trust the process, this old paradigm may birth a new world for us all.⁣

My sincere wish is that you illuminate and greet the miracles meant for you.

Spiritual Psychology

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

With so much uncertainty in the world, it’s clear there is a great need for a more soul-centric approach to psychology; a multi-disciplinary, multi-dimensional way to heal oneself.

This is known as Spiritual Psychology.  

Spiritual Psychology is an inner transformation that provides an opportunity to merge with your highest Self; as a way to connect more deeply to your relationships and the world around you.

It delves into the path of uncovering the truth. The truth about the soul, cosmos, and nature.

Transformation can be painful, but spirituality combined with traditional psychology softens the hard edges of the discomfort you may feel during this transformation.  It provides a depth and a breadth into healing in a more profound way; a quantum experience.

By approaching our healing in this way, we treat our wounds much more holistically and step into a conscious awareness.

Where traditional psychotherapy examines how challenges happen to or for you, spiritual psychology offers how challenges can be healed through you.  

It is an empowered stance where meaning and radical change are experienced.

 

It doesn’t interest me who you know

Or how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me 

And not shrink back.

-Oriah-

 

Are you ready to stand in the center of your own fire and not shrink back?

I would love to hold the container for you, a caldron for your growth and well-being.
