Healing in Stillness: Allowing the Shift

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

Healing quietly unfolds within us.

We undergo the process of breaking down our walls, not to suffer, but to expand. As we journey into the depths of our darkest parts, we allow our connection with the world to deepen, and our capacity to love expands naturally. 

But sometimes we put too much effort in trying to “figure it all out.” We can get so caught up in deciphering our patterns and behaviors, confronting our past conditioning, and healing our wounds, we forget the pure simplicity of being grounded in the moment and just breathing. Just being.

Because through it all, healing is still happening. It’s subtle.

 

It manifests in the grace we offer ourselves, the absence of comparison, and the surrendering to the process.

Cracking open is about feeling more, holding more, and loving more deeply.

So, if life feels hard it’s because it is hard. But I want you to know that you are doing a wonderful job navigating through these challenging times.

Trust that you are in perfect, divine time and everything is unfolding exactly as it should, for your good and for the good of all.

 

Every experience, both good and bad, are all opportunities to reclaim our power and sovereignty. They are opportunities to transition from feeling like a victim to becoming liberated and free!

Our soul’s blueprint serves as a roadmap guiding us toward our essence, our power, and our unique code.

My role is to assist you in returning to that sacred space within yourself where the keys to your liberation are held.

Honoring Your Rhythm: A Journey of Self-Love and Healing

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

The tension we have been experiencing in the collective continues to bring forth aspects of our being that seek acknowledgement. Be tender with yourself.

As we navigate through the integration of old patterns and fragmented parts, we must carve out space to nurture and care for these parts of ourselves.

Through witnessing the collision of the old and new paradigms, a myriad of emotions may arise—be it anxiety, fear, excitement, or anticipation. Each has its rightful place and pace in our internal landscape.

It’s important to move through this process with compassion, and a deep understanding that the discomfort is all part of the sacred journey.

In my own personal journey of healing from trauma, I’ve learned to honor my own rhythm and space. By tuning out external distractions and attuning to my inner compass, I’ve embraced my unique timeline, recognizing that my processes evolves alongside the phases of my beingness.

Wherever you find yourself in this moment, honor it fully. Consider how you can build healthy boundaries to protect your peace. Remember, this state is not permanent, there’s wisdom in all of it.

Healing always leads us to confront our pain points and core wounds. These vulnerable parts of ourselves are exposed, seeking acknowledgment and love.

This is the medicine.

It’s important to pay attention to what we instinctively reach for outside of ourselves in moments of discomfort. We may seek external validation or attention to fill the voids left by early childhood experiences, but these temporary fixes ultimately dissolve, leaving us feeling abandoned once again.

The true healing of these wounds can only come from within, through self-love, acceptance, and presence. When we attempt to heal our core wounds with the salve of another person’s validation, we only perpetuate the cycle of pain.

Instead of seeking external validation, redirect your love and attention inward, towards the source of your pain.

By re-parenting these vulnerable parts of ourselves, we unlock a sense of liberation and fulfillment that we’ve always yearned for. It’s through this process that we find alignment, reclaim our power, and gain clarity on our journey of healing and transformation.

If you feel called to be held in a sacred container and walked through your journey with a guide, it would be my honor to help you find your way.

Navigating the Storms of Change

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

In the whirlwind of life’s transitions, we continue to find ourselves standing at the threshold of change, where our foundations are being tested and transformed. How is your nervous system doing? 

As we navigate crossing these thresholds and periods of rapid upleveling, it’s important that we also recognize the opportunities they present. We can either resist the change or choose to deepen our faith and simply observe how the old paradigms are dying off and being replaced with the new.

But these changes can feel chaotic and ungrounded. Resist the urge to cling to the familiar – old patterns, beliefs, or relationships. Our survival systems are being activated. It’s normal for you to feel flooded with uncertainty around what the world will look like once the storm settles.

Remember, there’s always a choice. You can deepen into faith, nurture the parts that feel overwhelmed, and unapologetically mother yourself through the process.

The source of your safety comes from within.

With the world undergoing significant transformations, the pressure continues to build. Whatever has unfolded in the past weeks, months, or years has been in service to our evolution.

Push against the walls of comfort and familiarity, for it is when we release this resistance that growth and expansion occur. Get intimate with your limits and thresholds so you may learn to build the capacity and strength needed to navigate the chaos of the world.

This is a good time to find something – even something small – to anchor into. It could be a daily meditation practice or personal ritual, a quiet walk in nature, or a comforting chat with a good friend. Go back to basics, focusing on the small things you can control.

These are the building blocks of a strong, secure safety system.

It would be my honor to guide you through integration, creating a deeply transformative container to explore the parts holding you in unhealthy patterns and behaviors.

A Sacred Dance of Love and Transformation

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

I’m overjoyed to share a new chapter in my life—my recent wedding in the South of France, nestled in the breathtaking Pyrenees. Surrounded by our closest family and friends, we spent a week in celebration, creating memories that will forever warm my heart. It was a time that reminded me of the deeper meaning behind love and partnership.

In this journey of love, I’ve learned that relationships, when held with intention, can be powerful spaces for growth and healing. This time was different for me. I was ready to step into a love that felt expansive, genuine, and true. My beloved and I created something sacred, a bond that reflects our highest selves and the deepest parts of our hearts.

We married twice—once in Oregon, in a simple ceremony with my parents and my 100-year-old grandmother, and then again in France, under a 700-year-old cedar tree with our loved ones. Both days were perfect in their own unique ways, filled with love, laughter, and the kind of joy that only comes from being surrounded by people who truly care.

As I reflect on our union, I’m filled with gratitude for the journey that brought us here, for the lessons learned, and for the beauty of what’s to come. Relationships, in their truest form, are an invitation to step into the fire of transformation—and I am so grateful to have found someone who stands in that fire with me.

Please enjoy these photos from our wedding – a Sacred Union of Love and Transformation.

Thank you.

From Suffering to Strength: The Transformative Power of Pain

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

As we walk the human journey, we will each experience a variety of challenging cycles within our lives. These cycles are divinely timed as part of our unique experience.

The truth is that pain is an inevitable part of being human. However, our suffering is optional. We have a choice regarding our relationship to pain, and whether or not we suffer because of this pain.

These experiences are deeply spiritual and have been a part of the human journey throughout time.  Painful experiences and circumstances are an opportunity to discover the unknown resources of power within each of us.

Amongst my deepest ethos and practice orientation remains true: 

A problem is never the true problem, what matters most is how we orient ourselves around that problem. 

 

An empowering awareness is, we can’t avoid pain. We can avoid suffering.

At its most extreme, the conditions of these cycles are brought to surface through unforeseen life events such as trauma, illness, accidents, death, divorce, financial loss, or any other past or present life circumstance. 

Many of us do not even recognize what is occurring, as it is hidden within the pain and chaos of ordinary life.

But we are all here to live our purpose.  Which means, if we are to bring our unique gift or medicine to the world, we must go through the experience of wounding, death and rebirth, and conscious post-traumatic growth before we can live in the fullness of our truth.

Our challenges are the lessons that lead to our own personal power where wisdom can emerge.

 

In psychology, this has been studied and is known as 

‘POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH’. 

This phenomena says that when we experience trauma of any kind, we have the opportunity to be reset in the aftermath of the trauma, which is always a mindset choice. 

The viable opportunity exists to have an even more meaningful life after the trauma when we choose to lean into the growth opportunity from the pain or loss. 

Simply put, experiences open us to greater wisdom when accompanied with the conscious right action. 

This has everything to do with our consciousness and choosing to align with what truly matters to us, which we often only discover after the trauma occurs.

 

Clarity, trust, self-love and self-worth, and discernment of what is ours to transform and what is not ours to carry forward are the qualities we must cultivate in order to support the growth of wisdom in our lives so that we may walk our path of purpose and fulfillment.

It is taking what we have experienced and learned, and transforming our lives to co-create with this new understanding and meaning for ourselves, and for the world around us through our purpose and meaning.

Exploring the wounded parts of ourselves is how we open to the ultimate possibility that is our life.

 

Awakening our consciousness and leaning into the pain opens the door to a truly unimaginable possibility.

Living a deeply awakened life is so magnificent and so far beyond most of what we see in the world that even when we experience it for ourselves, we often find it hard to accept that life could be this extraordinary.

But for us to make room in ourselves for the miraculous to take root, we must uncover, and ultimately restructure the belief in a life of limitation and examine our relationship with pain and suffering.

This deeply rooted and often unconscious limitation subtly holds us back from taking the steps of trust required to truly experience our own personal freedom and create a life we love living.

 

Speaking from personal experience, I know how grateful I am for the traumas in my life. 

Although the pain I have experienced personally felt excruciating and unrelenting at times, I would not have become the person I am, fulfilled by the work that I do, and conscious of my authentic Self if it were not for these experiences. 

I chose to lean into my post-trauma growth. I sought out healing, I turned inward, I explored my pain and relationship to suffering, I grew a relationship with my subconscious patterns. I became conscious of what I was meant to learn from the pain and who I could become because of it. 

My orientation to trauma was to witness the growing edge that was available to me through its discovery and unfolding. In doing so, I vaporized my suffering and became empowered by my pain. 

This was my awakening process and the pathway to my highest self.

You can awaken too. It’s never too late to change your relationship with suffering and trauma.

 

An awakening is not just a glimpse into the future — it’s an awareness of what is already true within you, here and now. What is aching to be birthed through you from your divine blueprint.

This is who you were born to be. It’s your true power, your essence, your genius, and the source of your prosperity and happiness.

 

When you are cut off from the truth of your essence, you don’t just fail to fulfill your true potential, you experience a disconnection from this divine pattern in you. 

That’s why the many attempts people make to solve “the problem/ sickness/ suffering” don’t work — because they are symptoms, not the root cause.

When we rediscover our truth and begin to align with and activate the latent power within us, our suffering dissolves.

This is when miracles can happen.

Are you ready to experience miracles and live out your true purpose? 

Are you ready to have trust and faith that no matter what challenges and pain arrive in your life, you are equipped to consciously traverse them and be stronger for it?

I invite you to explore the possibilities with me as your guide.

How Our Wounds Are A Divine Gift

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

These are indeed turbulent times.  The world continues to challenge us, our values, our belief in the goodness of humanity.

How are you doing with it all?

I am sensing, collectively, that many of our triggers are being activated and that is not easy on the nervous system.  It’s not easy to be in our world right now. To feel the discomfort as we watch old paradigms and programs crumble in preparation for something better to be rebuilt.

Both externally and internally, we are experiencing the sacred path of transformation for the purpose of transcendence.  The new earth consciousness.

What we’re being asked to remember is that each challenge we face is an opportunity to deepen our faith and trust in ourselves.

But these challenges feel painful as we reckon with our triggers and how the old way of doing things no longer works to keep us feeling safe.

It may have played an important role in our lives at one point, but what once felt like control, now only adds to our suffering.

 

Journeying through these dark, activating times requires deep soul work. 
We’re meant to lose our inner compass in order to find the medicine within our own being to reorient ourselves. 
To find our center. Where the light never dies.

 

We meet our triggers, our wounds, throughout the many different spectrums of life.  It cannot be avoided.

But the more conscious we become, the more aware, the more we witness them, we’re given the opportunity to integrate them more.

Our wounds are a divine gift of our humanity, our great teachers.  They offer us an opportunity to experience the absolute fullness of life on this earthly plane.

If you are feeling activated by the noise and chaos of current world events, I invite you to witness yourself, drop into the sensations you are feeling in your body, and be with it.

 

This is an invitation to trust the wisdom in your body, to integrate the feelings and allow your heart to soften.

 

You are here because you matter.  Stay true to your values.  Remember who you are, why you came.

There’s so much uncertainty woven into the fabric of these times.  But your job is simply to remember that it is an invitation into deeper intimacy with our bodies, our faith, our inner knowing.

Can you feel it?

Nurture that space, invite in more love.

Trusting the Sacred Timing in Your Healing Journey

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

It can feel really frustrating when you’re trying to shift a pattern, release a behavior, forgive a relationship or heal from trauma, and can’t seem to get there.

Despite your best intentions and devoted commitment to doing the work, and doing it in so many different ways – peeling back the onion, walking the spiral – all of it.  The reality is, we must release the timeline of our healing in order for that healing to truly arrive.

When we allow ourselves to let go of the timeline, we’re reminded that there are sometimes many cogs that need to turn, that are not just our own, in order for the true healing to happen. 

Sometimes it can be connected to many other people within your system, whether it’s your family system, your relational framework, friendship, social circle, or ancestral line. 

And while we can be devoted to doing our own work, there can also be many threads, both seen and unseen, that are interweaving to conspire towards that true state of healing.  

This is one of the great mysteries of life, particularly when it comes to ancestral patterns and breaking cycles within a family or within a system. (And by the way, our family of origin patterns are always played out in our romantic partnership frameworks until we Consciously heal). 

So, if you’re doing all the work, yet still feeling frustrated with not being able to move through your pain or suffering – remember to trust the timing.  It is all part of the sacred mystery.

 

A Divine order. A Divine timing. A Conscious collaboration.

 

Keep inviting yourself to soften into the mystery. Your path is unique.  You’re courageous for being willing to move through your pain and choose your liberation and ultimate enlightenment. 

So have faith, and trust that healing is happening every moment of every day. And, rest into the mystery of the timing.

Healing is happening and it will happen. 

I’m with you.

Finding Your Way Back To Yourself

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

You are holy and whole. You are human, innocent and innately good.  Have you forgotten?

In our lifetime, through our childhood and life experiences we have separated from this sacred truth. 

The good news is, you can always find your way back to yourself. But it will take some work.

This is the call you have been waiting for to both soften and commit. To dig deep and open your heart wide. To root yourself in devotion, to live according to the compass deep in the center point of your heart.

 

Here is what I know for sure…

 

To light up the world you must first

turn on your own inner light.

To heal the world around us you must

first heal yourself.

To soothe the separation in the world,

you must heal the separation you feel

within yourself.

To create Heaven on earth you must

first find heaven within your own body,

to see it as holy and sacred.

To birth a new age, you must first

rebirth yourself.

 

And in every moment there is an opportunity for rebirth.

You must commit to your devotional practice and soul work like never before. You must take notice of what is rising in you and what is falling away. And instead of banishing the shadow, you must tenderly offer it up to the light over and over again.

This work is not easy. Which is why not everyone does it.

But you are not everyone.

You must find a way to keep your heart tender and open despite what is unfolding around and within you.

You must find a way to anchor and weave the light in whatever corner of the world you find yourself in.

It takes courage to set your gifts free. To look into the face of the things that you’re afraid to do and be and get curious about what’s on the other side.

But, I promise you, when you gather up the courage and lean into it, something magical happens.

Facing your fears and breathing through them, creating through them, moving through them – on the other side, you will discover your greatest gifts, joys, pleasures and purpose.

These gifts are the seeds that have been planted within you from the beginning and they are waiting for the light to shine upon them so they can fully blossom and show their truest beauty.

Are you ready for your gifts to be revealed?

The beauty of true healing and transformation is always available to you. You can reclaim your power through each choice you make.

How To Keep Your Heart Open

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

One of the greatest challenges of life is to learn how to keep your heart open when you most want to close it.  To stay open through hurt and loss, disappointment, betrayal, and pain.  To allow what’s falling away to fall away.  And to let life crack you open again and again.

The truth is, being human is not always easy.  In fact, often, it feels incredibly hard. But a life well lived takes courage.  It is full of losses and tragedies, as well as triumphs and adventures.

Whatever challenges you may be facing at the moment, life is coaxing you to keep your heart open, no matter how much it hurts. 

To find a way to unfold through the extremes.

 

Perhaps you’re going through a difficult time right now.

Perhaps life is testing you more than you think you can bear.

Perhaps more than anything, you want to shut down and cut yourself off.

Your grief is real.

 

The healing is happening and it will take as long as it takes.

Be gentle and treat yourself with the tenderness of a precious child, because you are one.  Remember that you have all that you need to create the life you are destined to create. 

All you need to do now is to stay open and take the next step. And tomorrow, you will take another.

Trust that you already know what to do. The blueprint is encoded within you.

I believe throughout our lives and through all the extremes, these experiences will be continuous invitations to keep our hearts open.

This is the courageous path from which healing can finally emerge.

Are you struggling to keep your heart open?  Do you feel your soul yearning for a deeper relationship with you?  If you are in need of support and guidance, I am here for you.

Overcoming Stress and Anxiety on your Healing Journey

Posted on by caseystevens888

 

When one is chronically experiencing anxiety or stress, it can often be difficult to approach your healing with a ‘slow & steady’ mindset.

But no matter what anyone might say to you, the simple truth is, there’s no quick-fix when it comes to healing.

To have a deep and lasting transformation you must be willing to consciously commit to setting aside time for your healing journey.

Overcoming stress and anxiety is absolutely possible for any true seeker, but it does not happen overnight. It’s important to remember that the deeper and more unconditional your commitment is, the more profound and potent your healing will be.

When you work to alchemize your inner world by changing your inner thoughts, perceptions and beliefs, and connect and feel your dense emotions, the deeper and more meaningful your transformation will be.

It is from our sacred internal center, and relationship with Self we discover harmony, truth, peace, satiety, and love.

It is from this internal center, and nowhere else, we reach blissful states of…
Wholeness
Oneness
Enlightenment
Consciousness

 

From this still-point we synchronize the eternalness of our Being with trust – our connection to a Higher Power, our Ancestors, our inner child, our higher Self, our shadow and light.

The connection comes full circle and our orientation to life, and all that is palpable, easy, uplifted.

This connection is always accessible and organic when we settle into our organized energy fields.

This conscious, coherent experience is spacious and filled with everything, and nothing. Magnetic opportunity exists here.

If you struggle to overcome stress and anxiety please do not hesitate to reach out.  I am here to guide you and to help deepen your healing experience for lasting transformation.
