Walking the Path of Self Realization

Discovering our true self. 

 One form of coming closer to our authentic self is to question our relationship with our primal care givers and investigate our beliefs. As we develop internal recources, we anchor ourselves in an inner sense of and safety. In other words, we heal the relationship with our parents inside of us. It's not about sorting out your relationship with your mother and father on the outside, but about investigating and processing the relationship that you have within you, with your internalized parent. 

The physical relationship with our primal caregiver is just a mirror, and can be used to see where we have been stuck. So, as we go back and investigate the relationship with our parents, we approach it as a source of information on how we became who we are today: the way we think about ourselves, the inner conversations we have and actions we perform, aloso what our limitations are, challenges within our intimate relationships we encounter, our parenting habits. 

If we step on the healing journey and honestly look at it, we can process it and then make conscious choices on how we wanna be and what we want to create. Actions that we will take will be based on our individual preferances, like and desires. As we investigate the relationship with our primal attachment figure, we heal ourselves. We repair attachment disruptions, by giving ourselves what we have needed in our early periods of development. We also heal the most important relationship there is, the reletionship to the LIFE itself - taking the revolutionary step out of separation and disconnection to inter-connectedness. 

After walking the path of self realization for almost 20 years, I find crucial to:

look closely at  limiting beliefs, that originated in childhood, to make the inner world the most important aspect of life, to cultivate values of processing old pain, of listening and connecting with  intuition, of genuinely care for relationships with others and the natural world.

To live a happy and fulfilling life in all aspects that matter to you, does not happen overnight. It is not a quick fix. It is a journey that will certainly take some time. But, the path of authenticity is worth stepping into. You might cry till you have no tears left... But on the other side of the discomfort, there is creativity, peace of mind, authentic connection, safety, emotional and physical richness, self love and appreciation that does not depend on the outside world, acceptance and trust to life, we need those qualities in order to bring to the world our ideas and gifts. 

 In our culture we don't have a lot of this initiation from being a child to being an adult, and we need to take that step on our own, to begin to investigate into what we have received, to take the love and wisdom we have received, and embody it. We also need to detoxify from the messages of limitation - owning and claiming what is empowering and leaving the pain and limiting beliefs of our ancestors behind. As we do that we initiate into severity as men and women. 

Then you can inspire others through words, but also radiate with that message of inspiration. Whatever we refuse to work on in ourselves we will pass down to the next generations, to our community and to the organizations. We will pass on the patterns that are unconscious. Step on the path of authenticity and self realization, do it for yourself, for your children and for the future generations to come.
