Being Yourself!

Seems like such a crazy thing to say, Be Yourself. Who else would you be? Yet how many of us have not fully embraced themselves and are still trying to be what we are supposed to? We hear the words, we act like we understand but I want you to investigate it further than your mind and the words. I posted the unusual saracinia flower tubes because they are quite themselves in an interesting way. No worries what others may think, carnivores to boot, lovely and interesting if you ask me!

I speak to you about this from my own experience. Yes, parts of me are my authentic self but as I grow and become wiser I see roles I have played and how they have gone against the real Lyn. For example, when my daughter was small we would have an family, friend Earth Day party. One of Erikas good friends was not allowed to come because that holiday was not celebrated. I was hurt and asked the parent, what do you mean, they celebrate it in school, I am an organic grower. It was never truly explained to me but there was an element that maybe I was some sort of witch or pagan. That shifted me for the rest of the years of raising her. Not wanting to appear abnormal. Not fully sharing my beliefs about nature and its affect and power it offers us constantly.

There are many examples of this, where we adjust ourselves for the situation, to blend in. This is a great art when done coming from the place that you embrace yourself and are adapting to another. Often it is not done in that way and we take it as a judgement against ourselves and act from that place rather than an honoring. We quiet our beliefs in  a way that puts judgement and non acceptance within us rather using it as a true art of knowing how to connect with others on their level while still embracing ourselves as magnificent and different, unaffected by anothers remarks or commentary.

I have always been one who delves into deeper study, philosophy, spirituality, psychology. I have done that quietly, almost in hiding for many years. I have shared it here and there and often have met with commentary how I am too deep, do I really believe that, Oh Lyn you are out there. As I have studied openly this past year, I have found that it is perfectly fine to be that way. Others who are like me are just coming out of nowhere. To think I was trying to fit in to a set community at the dishonor of being myself. Not that you need to shout out your individuality loudly, but you must put it forth in a magnetising way so you may find others that support that part of you. It is so rewarding to find like minded people in all we do. I am asking you to expose the deeper self out there as well. It is so very rewarding and to think I waited so long to nurture that part of myself.

We are all individual and it is the diversity that weaves the beauty of the whole. Nourishing yourself at the deep level of yourself is very transforming. We spend way to much time trying to fit into the groups we are in instead of shining ourselves. Maybe some people do care and chit chat about you yet really far less than we think. Everyone is so worried about being exposed themselves and in their own worries to be focused on you. You will find joy and happiness quickly when you allow yourself to be you own individual. Maybe the masses will make fun of you but you will find those with your same thinking as well. The growth and joy from connecting with them will far outweigh the judgement of those others. We all value different things so expose yourself so you may find others that are in line with you. We are all so different and not everyone will like you no matter what. We have definite people we like so allow others the same freedom and rather than take it as a judgement against you, take it as a sign to keep finding your type amongst the crowd.

I offer many classes at the farm to assist in this self empowerment, self honoring process that are much more powerful than what I have found in the community. Maybe it is for you, maybe not. We never know until we try. At least you can come visit this beautiful spot, that alone offers healing!
Love and Light to all in this transitional time!
