Breaking Through Stereotypes

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about all the changes that are happening, from what can be seen on the outside and what is happening internally. Each of us are healing beliefs and ways of seeing things. We are being forced to see beliefs on a broader scale and some of what we see can be uncomfortable to frightening. It can even make us feel scared and unsure and a desire to “go back” to what was familiar.

You did not come to earth during this period of time to keep things the same. You are here to break through the old ways, the old energy, the old views that were constricting of who you actually are. You are not your body, your body provides you the opportunity to experience a range of feelings, emotions, thoughts and so on. You are here to help in the creation of a new earth, a new way that is much more expansive and all encompassing.

I have a client that goes about her day, working with cattle and nature. She thinks nothing of what she does, because, she is living her life the way she chooses. I told her she is a buster of stereotypes. She looked at me surprised. I explained further, she doesn’t play the role of a stereotypical female, working only in the house and raising children. She embraces who she is and how she thinks. She doesn’t need or want anyone telling her how she needs to live, because they deem her too far out there, for a female. I gave her the example of a male with painted fingernails and wearing earrings. They too are a buster of stereotypes. They get to choose to wear whatever and live a life that suits them. Limiting how we accept others, limits ourselves.

Growing up, I idolized those that went against the norm. To me, it took a lot of confidence to step out and be who they are. Maybe because I always felt like I didn’t fit in, even though I tried really hard to. When I finally embraced who I am, and stopped trying to hide, I was able to share my experiences, share my insight and stopped caring about what others thought. I stepped further out into my light, trusting that others too wanted to step into their light and shine.

Is it time for you to step out of the confines of the closet you live in? My closet was the energy healer, empath, psychic, etc. It was scary to begin with, but now, I have the doors wide open and claim who I am. It is so freeing. You too deserve to be free.
