"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

Marianne Willamson

—and if we choose to zoom out even further, Marianne mentions that it is our light, not our darkness that scares us.

Who are we to deny the world our greatness?

ONLY when looking through the lens that everyone has an innate greatness. A unique set of skills were imprinted into our bones and the cosmic dust that collided to make each of us.

Maybe you have a formidable ability to see things from five different perspectives
…or can move your body in ways that would make the knees of the women next to you shake.

Maybe you can see patterns and prophet the future
…or can create a masterpiece from a simple piece of clay.

Hell, maybe you can do ALL of these things.

No one is trying to put you into a box around here. What I do want you to do is settle so deep into your bones that you know without a doubt what your gifts are and where they are needed.

I want you to speak to the ancient wisdom that has been marinating within your framework for lifetimes, slowly revealing itself when you’re pushed to the edge of what you know doesn’t work.

When another day of ordinary makes you want to scream into the abyss.

The events of one fateful day, over thirteen years ago, led me to a ceremony that changed the entire trajectory of my life. I simply made time to be still, to be in the company of wisdom that has been around since the beginning. I walked into a room that was steeped with Reiki and it cracked something open in me—it helped me remember.

Reiki is just a name for something that has taken thousands of years to name. It’s just a variation and an interpretation of a truth that has always belonged to all of us.

You are a vessel. Made for channeling light.

It’s time you start acting like it. 👏🏼
