Over the past few months, I’ve dedicated time and space to embrace my heartbreak and seize the opportunity to blossom into my most authentic self. A recipe of devoted self-love, patience, tearful releases, and insistent support from my community has given me the footing to brave this continuous process of healing. The work I’ve done in prioritizing nurturing myself has flowered into a higher connection to the flow of the universe. I try to accept every high and low with as much grace as possible. I practice releasing control and fear of the unknown. I understand that all feelings, especially the hard ones, are temporary. I trust in knowing I am capable of moving through anything. Anchored in my intention for growth, I face each emotion and experience with open arms. I am committed to a curiosity in uncovering pieces of the woman I am meant to become.
Nourishing my energetic bodies has granted me a flow state through the many junctures of my healing journey. This work has expanded a foundation of inner connection, self confidence, and pride as I navigate this nonlinear experience of healing. I actively listen to the respective needs of my body, mind, heart, and soul in each moment to support gentle acceptance. While the cycles of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing may not be synchronized, fostering open communication between these bodies guides me towards alignment. With intentional awareness of and consideration for each feeling, I’ve found ease in processing them as they arrive. This is and will remain an ongoing practice as I repeatedly root, nourish, garden and bloom.
My hope is these prompts inspire an enhanced connection to your body, mind, heart, and soul, no matter where you find yourself in your healing journey. I wish you courage in bringing each petal of your most authentic blossoming to light. The universe rewards those who are brave enough to answer her call of the bloom.
Love and light,
Alana
