Love it!

I'm not sure how to respond to your comment. I am with the Christ always. Jesus the man was a wonderful spiritual teacher. Thanks for making the connection.

love this for you CarrieAnne

Wow @loriannsmith1883 I love your word! Vibrancy is so awesome!!! have fun with that!

No. Struggle is necessary to grow us. It doesn't have to happen all the time, but it's part of the human experience we are having.

That I am human. That being human is messy and complicated and painful. Being human cannot be "perfect" because this does not really exist. I doubt myself. I have periods of time where I feel very inadequate. I don't always behave in a way that considers everyone else. And, all of that is okay. I have flaws and imperfections and learning to love and accept them ALL as part of who I am and how God made me, is part of the process of radical self-acceptance.

Thank you so much. I am here to share my journey of transformation and all I've learned along the way.

I do, but this is a very big question. Do you want to ask me something more specific?

Yes, check out my book Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You. You can buy it here. www.amazon.com/Original-Wisdom-Harness-Power-Authentic/dp/1612449557/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3KIC9NJALNIJZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.g6n_dYJ4AHF9q85kxW_YZZy7exYq-ZimHDgZ7xUqn9wAosFLIz8HBSTTRqxaklkh.4Cvwg7vXVg4bYvcLvY7WJAv6ak4FzoiJ5KYyXZXsINY&dib_tag=se&keywords=original+wisdom+donna+bond&qid=1730237752&sprefix=original+wisdom+donna+bon%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-1

There is something called a Spiritual ByPass. This is where you avoid the problem and it's associated feelings and reframe it in such a way that you just go straight to the "positive" without actually experiencing the true learning. our soul is always giving us opportunities to learn. When we ignore the issues and always try and find the sunny side - we are setting ourselves up to experience that same problem again. It has a learning for us that we must experience to move forward.

Yes - our environment plays a huge role on our nervous system, our thoughts and our perceived safety. If we are in fight/flight/freeze it's very difficult to feel aliveness.

This is the invitation for you to discover inside yourself. Try it and see how you FEEL!

That we “wrong” ourselves for this. It’s okay. It’s part of it. When we’re in our own way it means there is resistance. It’s useful to be kind, gentle and loving with yourself when you have this perception.

In spirit everything is neutral. It’s useful to recognize anytime we are more accepting and neutral around all qualities we soften into loving acceptance that we are BOTH fully human AND fully divine.💕

This is a question you must answer inside yourself. One is not better or worse. They are different. Spiritually is the relationship you have with the Higher energetic part of yourself. Religion is an organized set of beliefs.

I don’t think so. The whole idea is that there is something greater than yourself, your mind, emotions and behaviors. Perhaps it’s an opportunity for you to define what a higher power looks like in your life. For example, for me there is a divine unfolding in nature. No one is in charge of it. No one is scheduling it or telling it what to do. There is an inherent wisdom that unfolds organically. You have this same wisdom. It’s connected to a greater Source. You get to define what that looks like in your life.

Mindfulness is the process of careful, gentle observation with Presence. As we begin to observe our thoughts and our hearts desires we observe what is true, what feels aligned and what may just be an old pattern or habit. Mindfulness certainly plays a role in HOW we begin to do this, but mindfulness is a method, not a destination.💕

To walk away from my very prominent corporate career with stock options and a multiple six figure direct deposit paycheck. And THANK GOD I DID! Best decision I ever made and hardest because I had to step into the Unknown!

Stagnation is something that is only experienced through egoic states. When you can align yourself with your soul - your essence - your Higher Self, stagnation doesn't actually exist. I know this is like , "huh?" but close your eyes for a moment and just BE quiet and with yourself for a moment or two if you can. See if any insight or inspiration floats in. If you are in resistance, it can't happen, so really try and open and allow to your higher wisdom. You DO have Higher wisdom and it wants to reach your awareness. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Get a copy of my book Original Wisdom; Harness the Power of the Authentic You. I recommend the audible as I narrated it. It's powerful to listen and to feel the frequency I am sharing. Give this a try. The book is loaded with practical information. LMK how it goes.

Because when we constantly try and source our power from things and stuff OUTSIDE of ourselves, it's fleeting and can't last. When you discover your true source of empowerment lives inside of you, you learn that it can't be taken away.

Intentional Food Preparation. I do this each week and each morning. I look at it as a ritual. It's a sacred process that I am moving through as a way to nourish and support myself. For example, when I put fresh mint in my smoothie each morning, I reflect on the leaves of the mint. I marvel at their beauty. I am in awe of the beautiful strong leaves and the vibrant green color. I run my fingers over the leaves as I pull them off and put them in the strainer to be washed. This is a process of honoring the herbs and honoring myself by keeping this sacred commitment to myself to maintain self-care in a way in which I honor the vessel that is holding and carrying my spirit through this life. lmk if this is helpful.

they learn how to work with their emotional body is a beautiful, gentle, loving and deep self accepting way. It's incredibly beautiful.

head games. The noise and judgment of the ego. We don't want to make the ego the "bad guy" because none of us can be here in this physical experience without our ego, but we have to call ourselves out on the lies that we tell ourselves. (I'm not good enough, smart enough, motivated enough, FILL IN THE BLANKS enough)

Owning the projections we place on others. When we get triggered that "they" did something that was "wrong" that is really a reflection of something going on inside of ourselves that feels difficult to take responsibility for. For example, when my husband is acting controlling and I am triggered by that, I have to look at the ways in which I am being controlling WITH MYSELF. Sit with this.

Do you have a specific example? It will be easier for me to guide you if you can share specifics.

@archer-n20 I would relate to it more as an opportunity, than a challenge and I think it will be different for everyone depending on what each soul has come to this life to learn.

well, when you say "conflict" if you mean "be different from" or "seem to go against", then YES.... and that is what makes it difficult for our ego-minds to embrace.

There are so many, but firstly, being more compassionate with yourself in times of trial or difficulty. Learning how to be your biggest supporter and inner cheerleader and being able to see your life - and all of it's opportunities - as areas for your highest growth.

To the soul.....there is no time. Time is an illusion. We make up time. Try breathing and relaxing. Try opening your hand and TRUSTING that you are ON TIME in PERFECT TIME and that everything is unfolding perfectly in divine natural order and harmony.

Oh I love your question! It is SO IMPORTANT to cultivate a practice of self celebration. As you begin to recognize yourself, you lessen the need for external validation and approval seeking!

1. meditate. Meditate. Meditate. 2. Honor and express any and all feelings you're having. 3. Love, honor and acknowledge yourself for ALL OF IT!

Do you experience a sense of inner fulfillment? Feel into this and ask yourself the question. Be open to receive the answer.

Of course your True self is constantly changing. Your True self is here in this human journey for the experience and you are an ever-evolving dynamic, brilliant being. Embrace it! Change is positive in our lives and the more we get comfortable with it, the more we flow with the go!

I'm not sure I understand your question @harryBrooks-8
