Becoming Free to Be You

1

My daily morning practice includes pulling oracle cards and journaling – or
journaling first followed by a card pull for message related to what I just wrote and
reflecting some more. With today’s blog, I thought I would go to my Dragonfly
Journey Oracle deck and ask the universe what message someone needed to hear
and that we all could use.


The cards are:
Freedom – Embrace who you are and choose to live life as you.
Healing – It’s time to get unstuck.
Adaptability – Trust yourself to navigate what comes your way.

The story I see here is that we cannot be ourselves without getting unstuck from
what is holding us back. It might be a mistaken belief that you can’t do something,
or a lack of confidence that resulted from being told you weren’t enough. Or any
other limiting beliefs that you hold – and we all have them. They’re the things that
you adopted and despite knowing, inside, they aren’t really true. You keep on with
the same patterns because they’re what you know.


Change is messy. Confronting your fears and mistaken beliefs are hard and scary.
And yet, without doing so you aren’t able to shed any limitations, expectations and
fears that keep you from being the powerful person you were born to be.

You see, every single one of us was born perfectly designed. We all are meant to
shine in our own unique authentic way. Everyone of us has personal power, is
meant to love oneself, to be worthy simply because you exist, to experience life and
learn from it. Yet, the conditioning we receive over the course of our lives can
hamper our ability to remain in the perfection of our design.


It takes courage to go deep within and explore where our conditioning arises and
then assess and evaluate the truth. It’s looking at the memory from different angles to come to a truth of what happened. It’s making a choice to switch the narrative into one that empowers you.

Keep in mind that those who raised us were conditioned too and most probably,
didn’t know any better. They did the best they could with what they had. When we
can allow that, we can move from a victim mentality to embrace our new SELF. This
is the beginning of HEALING, of getting unstuck so you can live the life of FREEDOM
to be you.


The more steps you take on this journey to yourself, you grow in ADAPTABILITY and
learn to trust that you can, and will, navigate whatever comes your way. You’ve
been doing this all along. The difference is that now you are doing it consciously,
with intention, and belief in yourself.


I hope this is helpful to you today. If you need some guidance, a good start for you
can be my book, Journey to Your SELF, Unlock the Gates of Human Design and
Awaken Your Inner Wisdom
.
I found such great wisdom for living your authentic
self in these 64 gates of Human Design and wanted to share it. You don’t need to
know Human Design to benefit from the content here. You will find inspiration for
reflection to become YOU.


My wish for you now – Be free to be you. Give yourself permission to unleash what
holds you back and then trust yourself to navigate this leg of your journey in full
faith and believe in your higher power and your SELF.


I invite you to schedule a Let’s Connect Call from my website to see how I might be helpful
to you to heal, live in freedom to be you and more easily trust and adapt.

I’ve created my services because

The symbol of my business combines the dragonfly and the unalome because it represents your life journey.

The dragonfly’s journey begins beneath the water’s surface until the time is right and it emerges as a graceful, winged being. This profound transformation makes the dragonfly a symbol of change, growth, and the courage to embrace new opportunities.

The unalome is a representation of the path of life. Its base marks the beginning or awakening. The spirals and curves trace the twists, turns, and challenges you face along the way. As the line straightens, it symbolizes the wisdom you’ve gained.

Your journey may have challenges but it is meant to bring you a life of purpose as only you can be.
