Finding your true north

Finding your true north

It’s funny how you can spend so much of your life asleep.

Going through the motions, doing all the things, fitting in, making people happy, being the person you’re expected to be. Just doing life.

And then, one day when you least expect it, you catch a glimpse, a taste, a whisper of something that feels familiar, yet distant, but also like a piece of you has returned home. It’s a stirring from deep within. A faint remembering of a long lost knowing. Wisdom. Familiarity. Instinct. Your soul lights up, flickering.

You begin to wake up. And you cannot stop this. It’s the remembering of self. The beginning of your return journey back to your temple. Your holy self.

You see we are never lost. Our truth, our knowing, our essence always resides deep within. But we spend part of our life in a state of soul amnesia, forgetting who we truly are, forgetting what lights us up, why we are here, what we came here to do.

There are key moments, certain people, experiences and situations that present themselves over and over our whole life, beckoning us to remember, planting the seed to clear the fog, urging us to wake up and realign with our soul truth. It can take a while, and sometimes it never happens at all.

And that’s ok, it’s simply part of our human experience.

But once you begin to awaken to yourself, you can never go back to not knowing.

So how do you find your true north?

How do you navigate the space of the confusing yet also exciting in-between worlds, dimensions, timelines and consciousness? Because it can feel scary, wobbly, uncertain, uncomfortable and like you’ve actually lost a part of yourself rather than this beautiful homecoming back to self that we hear of.

There is often a sense of deep sadness and grief as you shed, release and let go of aspects of yourself that no longer align with your truth. It can feel big, lonely and sad, with lots of resistance and confusion. What once kept you feeling safe and comfortable is suddenly turned on its head, shaken, stirred, inverted, no longer serving you, but now keeping you playing small, now stifling you, suffocating and holding you back from something potentially extraordinary.

And it takes extreme courage and trust to surrender and let it all dismantle, crumble and fall away.

As you shift, grow, expand and awaken, relationships also shift in resonance with your newly blossomed self.

There is so much that falls away in this process; relationships, beliefs, stories, fears, aspects of yourself.

And through experiencing and embodying this process, there is a rebirth, a glorious emergence, meeting, welcoming and integration of your true self.

But then what?

Seriously, what happens then? Because you’re still in the same body, still living on this Earth. Life around you is still the same, yet your awareness and perception has shifted, cleared, amplified. So how do you move forward with this expanded consciousness? What now?

You get real.

You get honest with your newly awakened self. You step up and meet yourself head on, in the headlights, no filter, nowhere to run, no mask to hide behind.

And you witness your heart wounds, your shadows, your darkness, your fears, your shame, your grief, your anger, your secrets, your insecure self, your wounded inner child and every aspect of yourself that you have buried, hidden and tried to forget.

Because you cannot ascend, grow, learn or expand without first meeting your true self at your very core, and healing the pain that is beneath, in the shadows of your heart.

You cannot expect to experience and receive peace, clarity, joy and deep love unless you process, release and heal your heart wounds, shift your limiting beliefs, rewrite your story and clear ancestral wounds and patterns.

This is how you navigate your great awakening.

This is how you find your true north.

Each layer of healing reveals the next, and it also beautifully reveals and offers deep wisdom and expanded awareness for you to be equipped with the inner resources to continue to heal and grow.

You have all you need within to experience this wonderful human life. There is nothing you cannot cope with, nothing you cannot conquer and nothing you need other than your inner guidance, trust and honesty.

Once you begin to understand this, once you begin your healing journey, life will begin to feel more light, expansive, free and joyful. Opportunities will present themselves, soul aligned people will show up on your path, you will have so much more clarity and higher perception, your visions and dreams will begin to unfold and your life will flow with purpose and heart aligned intention.

Trust in your truth, your inner wisdom, your inner knowing, it will guide you to your true north.

Enjoy the journey.
