FIRE MEDICINE
Sitting with the fire and preparing to do this walk, I kept hearing a voice casually whisper with confidence "you dont even have to do this"....
I realised how many times I'd followed that voice in the past. It kept me safe, small AND in a box I no longer wanted to be in. So, in that moment I committed to changing how much power I gave away to it.
This walk highlighted for me all the ways I show up in fear, the ways I hide and opt out of facing them. The awareness alone empowered me in many ways.
Staring into the bright coloured coals and feeling the burn on my skin.... It brought to the surface aspects of myself that mirrored a similar burn within me.
Some of these were fears inherited from generations before...
❤️🔥The fear of being heard and using my voice in the ways i really want to.
❤️🔥The fear of embracing my own fire (my power) burns me most.
I've felt and always known my internal fire burns hot... its rawness and bigness raged in me many times before. Afraid of the force I felt behind it, I moved through life, always careful to put it out before it got too big, too much, too loud.
BUT....choosing not to be fully me suffocates my being and ability to access my internal freedom.
I had to let those fears be left in the fire.
Re-writing a new belief that I know holds more truth is that...
MY FIRE BURNS STRONG, NOT TO HURT OR INTIMIDATE OTHERS, BUT TO IGNITE THE SAME FIRE THAT ALSO HIDES WITHIN ALL OF YOU.
