Who is holding the keys to your heart?
We give ourselves away to others in relationship, but how do we stay empowered and centred in our own heart?
Few of us have been lucky enough to receive any kind of teaching in how to relate intimately and honestly to others. We learn as we go, and sometimes we have to go through the loss and recovery of ourselves over and over again.
Each conflict, each break-up can be our teacher. Relationships are a dance. In an ever-changing space, we learn again and again how, and what, to surrender. And we learn also what it is we need to keep safe, of our own sacred essence.
Simply put, relationships are how we emerge into our own majesty.
We learn to stop putting the crown on another’s head and instead stand tall to wear our own crown. Centred in the rich, unique expression of who we truly are, we begin to attract relationships that affirm our beauty, wisdom and strength. Our attachment styles reflect a healthier sense of our own boundaries and self-worth.
Here are 3 of my favourite, simple practices to bring me back to centre, and into my own majesty
Breath. Simply breathe into your belly, perhaps placing a hand over your tummy to feel how the air arrives and leaves the space deep within you. Release any anxiety on the outbreath, and experiment with drawing in something positive on the inbreath - the beauty of a flower, a lovely scent, or simply Love. Don’t force the breath, simply follow it in and out.
Bring a gentle smile to your lips and then send that smile to any place that feels empty, or vulnerable and tender. Do this until you feel a sense of peace and contentment inside.
Imagine a crown on your head, and play with how this makes you feel. How do you stand, how do you move differently? Can you feel your own unshakeable majesty?
