How Life is a sacred Initiation into Our Truth

I've come to realise that initiation comes in many forms. Sometimes it's a course or studying a lineage. Sometimes it's a situation where a part of your life changes, such as a job or moving house.

But other times, initiation is the housing of the path you walk from one version of yourself to another.

It takes as long as you take.

It only really completes when you've undergone alchemy through all the layers of your being.

It alters your perspective, shakes your life, and encourages what you need to let go of to crumble around you.

Sometimes you need to step away from your life completely to stabilise and begin to understand what is happening on a deeper level, an inner level.

This kind of initiation does exactly what the word implies. It starts something, a series of events that you must go through to arrive at a place you have called in, yet you don't know you called in because it's from a higher, deeper, future version of yourself that's waiting to crack open.

It's as confusing as it sounds to live through, but fulfilling and rich with your own wisdom.

Sacred spaces often call to you when you are in this kind of initiation, yet you also get called inward, seemingly deeper than you feel you'd like to go.

If you resist, life kicks back.

If you surrender, you stumble anyhow.

Then a moment comes when you start to recognise something from within you, something you may not have even known you'd lost.

You start to remember the truth of who you are and begin to see the person you have been as unfamiliar.

Unfortunately, it's common to go back and forth between these two versions of yourself, until...

You begin to discover the balance between both versions that are trying to exist in the same space.

You discover that one simply cannot exist without the other.

One version, the older one, has life experience, caution, and requires a sense of safety to accept change.

The new version explores and is full of raw, untapped energy that has been dormant for so long that expression is oozing out of you. Change is something that you thirst for, and a sense of youth returns.

The to and fro between the older and newer version of you is an ultimate test of the heart. It is the way you strengthen yourself in discernment, boundaries, acceptance, and courage.

When they find the balance point, your heart moves into a higher octave of existence.

The initiation is at its completion and stillness comes over you. You finally see life through a clear lens.

Then all that's left to do is embody the wisdom from within that the initiation journey awakened.

Each initiation etches the wisdom into the subtle anatomy of your being. Each layer of your four-body system now rich with the process of alchemy.

Another more subtle initiation begins as you learn from your wisest teacher, your body.

You go about your daily life with a deeper sense of sacredness. Every interaction and event becomes a key to the wisdom you are now encoded with.

Through the new lens and through listening to the map within your cells, you are allowing more of your soul to integrate into your personality.

Quiet moments are more meaningful and the bridge between the sacred and the mundane is familiar, woven, clear.

The wisdom in your bones is from the older version of you and from your ancestral lines, the safety and familiar needs now happily contained

It is necessary to keep you grounded into your mundane life where you can begin to weave the sacred into it.

You begin hearing your soul more clearly as you hear the gnosis of your purpose and potential.

Whether you are here to be of sacred service with your gifts or to simply be a human with a heart that emanates love wherever you go, we are all here to leave the world a better place for our children.

So return to the Temple that You Are as often as possible.

Learn from the Sacred coding that your body and being are etched with.

Walk the subtle pathways of your emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.

Listen to the messages your physical body sends and senses.

Walk the gates and realms of your inner world to continually learn how to weave more of your divine architecture into your daily life because

You Are Abundant with Wisdom.

If you are ready to walk a path woven with soul, sacredness, and inner wisdom, this is the landscape we explore in Inner Worlds & Gateways —a 6-week experiential journey through your subtle anatomy.

You are so warmly invited to join us.

With love,
