Who do you want to be…?
As the world as I have known it is dismantled, and as my life as I’ve lived it transforms into something else, one question has been popping into my mind for a couple of years now, guiding my actions and decisions: Who do I want to be, as I create the world I want to live in?
I’ve been living in the question mark without consciously knowing what the actual question was for some time now. The unknown question mark was my ‘in-between.’ It was my ‘pause.’ The fully formed question is now becoming something tangible I can work with.
The world I want to live in is one where people know how take care of themselves and each other. Where the Earth herself is healthy, vibrant, and honored. Where children and those in need are centered. Where compassion and generosity are the norm.
Who I want to be is someone who empowers others. Who reminds others of their innate beauty and sacredness. Who remembers that we are all intricately and inherently connected.
I have always wanted to help others become fully who they were born to be. This desire has informed every aspect of my work, through all its iterations.
My mantra throughout my 40+ years of healing and intuitive work has been that I am not the ‘healer;’ I simply help my clients remember, on some level, that they have the healing ability within themselves. I always send them from a session with something they can do on their own.
But helping one person at a time has felt soooooo slow. If the world I want to live in is one where people know how to take care of themselves and each other, I am inspired to share my knowledge and experience more widely.
I have recently begun creating short videos that I share on social media and on my YouTube channel. Each video teaches the viewer how to do one easy, quick self-care exercise. These are the same techniques that I share with my clients, and I know how effective they can be.
That said, not every technique works for everyone. And not every technique works for anyone forever. As we heal and integrate and evolve, our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs change. I’ve learned this through my own healing journey and in witnessing the healing of my clients. And that’s why I’m sharing as many techniques and tools as I can think of.
Right now, my YouTube channel has 2 videos (3 minutes or longer) and 4 shorts (up to 3 minutes long). The idea is that I’ll share at least one new video a week. Through this, my long-term goal is to help people help themselves.
I invite you visit my channel, try some (or all) of the exercises yourself, and keep coming back for more self-care. Subscribe if you’d like to know when new videos are posted. All of this is free, my gift to you. And feel free to share with others you think might find these helpful:
