This resonates so much for me. The deep subconscious and semi-conscious awareness of gifts alongside the fear of being seen, alongside the desire to be seen. It feels so messy and tangled sometimes, and right now particularly in my life. The dam metaphor was very helpful, makes me think of the trauma healing concept of titration - drip by drip building capacity to step into our more authentic and whole selves is one way to fully honor the speed at which the body takes to build trust. Thanks for sharing your own exploration with this topic. Also vibing with the profundity of IFS lately. So much alignment with what you share! Appreciate your vulnerability and intellectual mind.
A very beautiful post, thank you so much for articulating it with such depth. I have to sit with it, feel its layers, sense into its context for me, those I serve & love, the land I live upon. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art with us. Your words aligned and resonated deeply with me - my body was covered in goosebumps receiving your loving, wisdom. So many synchronicities and rich unfolding. Very grateful and blessed to be connected with you, Brian🧡
Thank you for sharing Brian. The post in many ways captured my inner struggle with bringing my gift to the world - the fear of the gifts integrity being influenced, the distinction between what earns us money and what the world needs, the joy and envy that comes with the success of others, the self doubt- all are very real. I have been holding back my gifts outside the circles of trust and alignment I have created for some of these reasons.
Btw, compersion has a deeper word for it in Buddhism called mudita (compassionate joy). Along side compassion, equanimity and Metta (loving kindness), it forms the four hearts, and I have been constantly reflecting on how I see and receive the happenings in life from these lenses (or the lack of them). It's been a source of deep inquiry.
I’ve felt, confronted, and continue to confront every stage of this process as outlined so beautifully in this piece. As more and more of us gain the courage to share our gifts we will empower others to do the same.
