Healing Judgment

The nature of my work and the guidance that I offer as an Energy Healer always forces me to walk the path that I teach. This year has been no exception.

The theme that has come up over and over again during this season is learning to embrace nuance in the face of judgment. I've really had to sit with it.

What I mean is that we as humans look for clear, unchanging answers; a reliable roadmap of sorts. We are naturally drawn to polarities. We prefer "us vs them," "right vs wrong," "true or false," "forward or backward."

We do this in pursuit of both safety and belonging, needs that energetically sit at the foundational level of our unconscious—the root chakra.

Whether it's a contentious U.S. presidential election or simply the desire to build a Life of legacy and progress, we seek answers and take actions that keep us on the good team, the safe side, the right path.

Let’s just tease this out ... what if there is no right or wrong? What if there aren't perfect, trustworthy answers?

What if instead it's "yes, and."

Yes, this has happened because of XYZ and also, it's to be accepted as part of the sacred plan.

Yes, we are just where we are supposed to be and also, we allowed things to get worse.

Yes, the illness is here to teach an enormous life lesson and also, it's nobody's fault.

Yes, Life is a grand adventure and also, it's kicking your ass.

Yes, God is in control and also, we hold the power to shift the Energy of our lives.

Yes, grief and loss drag us to the depths and also, those depths set us free.

Yes, you're beautiful just as you are and also, you can become someone brand-new.

Do you see? Two truths can exist at one time. That is the nature of Energy.

So put down the heavy weight of judgment. Stop trying to figure it out. Let yourself instead embrace nuance.

Now take a breath. How much deeper did it get? 💜
