We, Humanity, are a super-cell. -Richard Rudd
The rest is simply experience and story.
Listen to the voice within, your create your certainty.
This time of year, always feels like a beginning for me. As my life has unfolded and continues to, September always seems to be a time of self-realization.
Of what I call Embodying Self Awareness.
Here is a little story of the experiences that continue to crack me open.
All part of my experience to waking up to my truths and acceptance of reality.
14 years ago, living a life following a religion.
Pleasing others, longing for acceptance, trying to find purpose, living in fear and desperately needing community.
I was numbing out by living a religion that was not my truths.
My intention was to discover myself and discover God's love for me and in turn understand how to love. What came from this was living a life of accountability to something outside of me. Always trying to be better, looking for forgiveness, and longing for acceptance and love.
I do appreciate religion for all of those that it is true for and that was not my truths.
How did I know it was not my truths?
I was 60 pounds overweight, saying yes when no would have been kinder, numb and unaware of present moments - I have very few memories of my children during the last 3-4 years of this 10 year phase, wearing a mask of niceness when inside I was angry, sacrificing my own acceptance for the acceptance of a God outside of me. A cycle of self-betrayal and anger.
We moved from AZ to UT and I realized the religion was not my path. For the first time in 17 years all my children were in school. I finally felt a little freedom, was feeling more confident in my body and on a new path.
6 years later, going the complete opposite direction of living a religion. This time I was numbing with being as busy as can be, substance abuse and an affair.
How did I know it was not my truths?
A life full of lies. Avoid anytime with myself and with my loved ones. It was too painful to be around my loved ones, I was so far away from love. I was on a path of self destruction. I went from self betray to self destruction. Which ended in an arrest and a divorce. Relying on outside sources to find love and acceptance.
Nothing outside of me will ever bring me to love and acceptance within me.
Only my love and acceptance is truth, it is the truth of who I am.
This is freedom.
Living in a space of acceptance of reality, full of gratitude and love.
This brings on a great laughter of how sweet it ALL is.
It took the past 8 years of healing, growth, learning and unlearning.
Yoga Teacher Training, a mentorship with Clarity Coaching and questioning more thoughts, beliefs and painful stories than I ever even knew I had. In addition to a Reiki certification, tantra training, Work Your Light course and on and on …. Each of these experiences brought me back into an awareness of myself.
For the first time in my life, learning true accountability and responsibility for myself and bravely living my truths.
This is how I learned to open up to love. Living my truths. Coming home to the love I am.
All those previous pictures are simply stories. I am grateful for each and every experience.
I am grateful for every emotion, every thought, every belief and every choice I have made through out the years. It has all been a process of coming back home. Home to the truths within me.
This is my experience and gift of living the life of Alicia.
I am simply experience. And each experience is simply happening through me and FOR me.
For me, God is reality. God is everything I see, feel, smell, hear, touch and every thing around me.
Some call it Source, Universe, God, the Divine - whatever you call it, it is all here within each of us. Love is the super cell of who you are.
What brings me great joy and happiness is sharing my experience of living out this reality of my humanness. Sharing the tools that brought me to embodying self-awareness.
The growth into full acceptance of who I am, what I am, and how I serve.
This is what I share with my course Embody Self Awareness.
Excited to be sharing my 6-week course called Embody Self Awareness starting September 8th. Each week I will share the tools and discuss what I believe brings us into the awareness of who we are and how to live our truths.
This is a community that will come together each week. Sharing and growing in our experience of embodying self-awareness.
Week One is about our physical presence - core values and inner wheel of balance
Week Two and Three we take a deep dive into emotions and boundaries
Week Four is about our thoughts and mind - Self Inquiry - as a facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie as practiced by Clarity Coaching this is one of the greatest tools that have set me free
Week Five is a discussion around Spirituality - sharing as a group and opening up to possibility
Week Six is bringing it all together and sharing the leanings and unfolding of our experience.
There will also be a fun art project.
