Spoken into life - A key

“Life and death is in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat the fruit there of”

We have the ability to both create and destroy realities via the power of our tongue, or as I see it; it is through the depth of intention/definition we can build behind a desire and our ability to hold faith in this one simple yet powerful principle being true, that we can express the power of our tongue.

If we can convince ourselves that this one powerful principle is indeed true then what more could you possibly need? you were just handed the keys to the kingdom and now its up to you to believe.

It is my belief that the power of our tongue is rooted in the alignment of our heart and mind, for our mind is an infinite seed bank and our heart the most fertile garden.

All the precious seeds of potential that reside within your mind wish to be planted within the hearts garden yet sadly for most their garden is full of weeds.

These weeds take form as experiential conditioning, negatively impactful past experiences, limiting beliefs and negative self talk.

You see, how we speak to and about ourselves and others is a direct reflection of our current sate of self worth.

When we step back from the conditioning, limiting beliefs and negative self talk of our mind, our ability to build a clear, coherent vision of reality is strengthened and we can begin to move through the world with a deeper experience of compassion & grace.

We can begin to see the magic in this life and lessen the impact of the controlled human construct of reality , in fact we can mitigate any power or influence it has on us.

We no longer fall prey to the power plays of the world, we ebb and flow, we find our feet within our own cycles, no longer swayed by external forces - we become deeply rooted yet flexible through personal truth.

It is through the conscious recognition of our self talk we can begin to recognise our weeds, where we hold ourselves back from a peaceful and joyful experience here on earth and see how it is possible to lovingly accept these parts of ourselves that we so often do not wish to acknowledge, but we can begin to slowly dissolve them and make room for more supportive, fruitful patterns to be embodied.

Some years ago, I personally was undergoing a self initiated process of deep reflection, it was in this time of relentless self observation I one day came to ask myself a question, very simple yet big question…

Sarah, Do you love yourself?

Like truely, deeply love who you are in your entirety?

My answer… was no, I did not.

I realised in that moment I liked aspects of myself, but no I did not love myself.

I had never allowed myself to be fully loved because of the stories circulating my mind: Sarah your too much, too weird, not social enough, can’t conform to societies expectation, don’t look this way or speak that way.

But here’s the thing I was missing at that time, our ‘weirdness’ is what makes us us… it is our beauty, our magic, our mission.

I have come to see any story that diminishes self worth,  is skilfully designed in an attempt to keep you within a collective amnesia, to keep you from remembering… you are a creator, you construct the reality around you & contain everything you need to fulfil your mission on earth.

Your spirit will never speak down to you, it is most often always kind, soft and encourages you to move forward. Intrusive thoughts, conditioning and negative energetic forces will quite literally throw shade & talk you down, they will make you feel small or unworthy.

It is in the recognition of these energetic differences we now have a point of easeful filtration, the recognition of what is truely yours and what is not.

With clarity we can sift through our inner dialog / self talk on the run, recognising what is in alignment with our highest truth and what is a constructed or adopted story.

What carries you closer to the truth of your heart and what carries you further away?

It was through this process of recognition and filtration of my internal conversations with self I wondered, how can I truely love anyone else if I do not love myself? Surely I can only meet others as deep as I have met myself, so without complete acceptance of every aspect of my being, even the parts I do not like, I could never truely show up with authenticity, because to show up with authenticity is to show up with complete loving acceptance of our entire being.

It is through this process of recognition that we make room for ourselves to be less reactionary to these parts of within, so in moments of pause we can address the discomfort and say hey I see you, I would like to know your origin story and work together to get you fixed up.

When the mind grows loud, find the silence.

It really is quiet simple… simple but not easy.

When we can recognise discomfort without reaction, acknowledging its existence and ask to be shown where the weeds grow within our own heart, where we have not completely loved or cliamed our being, that we can begin to rewrite our responses.

Begin to lovingly address the way you are speaking to yourself within and make a conscious agreement with yourself to pull the weeds from within your heart and make room to plant fruitful seeds of the spirits you do wish to reside there.

For example:

We can ask ourself in the moment, do I want to behave or react in this way right now?  Does this behaviour reflect my true self? Is this in alignment with my integrity, values and vision?

Is this reaction inline with the spirit of love, forgiveness or grace? Does this carry me closer to my vision?

It is through the refinement of thoughts we consciously choose to interact with that we strengthen the tongue because we are taking care of the seeds/spirits we are allowing to be planted within our heart, it is in this way we strengthen the relationship between our heart and mind leading to a clearer agreement with self to embody our truth.

Emotions as energy in motion are not always as they appear on the surface, in fact they often stem from such a simple yet moving experience or belief of “truth”, an objective truth founded through an adverse experience that we did not have the skills to see through to completion.

My own experience has shown me that it is most often not an external force that has made me feel any one way, it is the perceived presence of lack within an aspect of self that brings my awareness to where I am being asked to show up with a refined understanding self and to reclaim that part of self that I outsourced.

It is an adverse age that we live in, and it will only continue to ask us to show up deeper than we have ever done before, our way forward is together, united through the heart.

Each and everyone of us are unbelievably unique yet we all hold basic core values: love, passion and freedom of creative expression. Through compassion we can relate to one another with less reaction, less resistance and more coherence.

When we choose to be the love we wish to see, we consciously choose a better way of being in this world and as such reflect that to all around us.

Each and every day, hour & minute, we have an opportunity to be better than we were before. You are not a prisoner to your past, you are free, if you so choose to set yourself free.
