Road to Authenticity

There is so much talk lately about the power of authenticity.

At an individual level I found the road to authenticity to be finding my way through releasing the masks I was wearing and finding clarity amongst a life  and relationships orchestrated by constant reactions and projections.

Here is my take on how to access the freedom of authenticity. In a nutshell.

READ BELOW , OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO.

So much of our suffering comes from a certain ignorance

We ignore that we lack awareness

We are not aware that day in, day out we wear masks

We relate to each other wearing masks – acting out a persona which we think we should be

So we relate to each other from mask to mask. Our life becomes a game of pretending.

We are scared of being hurt – scared of being seen – scared of being misunderstood

We see others from the lens of our limited perception

We walk through life unaware of our shadows, of our repetitive thought and action patterns – our reactions – our projections.

So then imagine, most people relating to each other from mask to mask. Protecting themselves.

Most of our relationships being a play of reactions and projections – reactions and projections – reactions and projections.

Wounded inner children interacting instead of fulling grown adults cocreating

And so for a moment feel into this: unless you bring awareness to the scenarios of your mind and start to deconstruct ways in which you limit and protect yourself, your day is a series of

Reactions and projections

Reactions to your environment, to people’s words, to thoughts, to energies

Projections onto others of your limited understanding of reality

It’s like we spend our day defending and protecting ourselves.

Life becomes a ping pong game of leaking energy

It is depleting

It drains our energy and leads us to feeling stuck.

We can completely shift the way we engage with life and others by shifting our inner experience

Learning to move our body

To Breathe consciously

To Bear witness to our thoughts

And to create space within

A space from which it becomes easier to apply awareness

Easier to Observe and release our limiting beliefs

A space from which we gain perspective – from which we can be radically honest and compassionate with ourselves to witness our reactions and projections. To see our defensiveness for what it is and to accept it. To Let go of it. To see the same in others. Witness the similarity of our human experience. Se that really most of us our trying our best with what we know.

So We Continue moving and breathing to flex our capacity to create spaciousness within so that gradually we drop the masks and unlock new energy, unlock higher frequencies.

And we do that over and over again – until the awareness gains more momentum than the illusion

And the illusion becomes an invitation to play the heart opening game of expansion.

Every time we overcome stagnation, overcome personal blocks and expand our energy, our frequency continues evolving.

And then comes a day when we no longer need the layers of protection. We can just relate to others freely, joyfully, lightly. We can choose our thoughts and action deliberately.

We can just be – Imagine that – just be.

We live authentically.

We choose love and it’s the only route which makes sense.

We live an evolutionary life. A revolutionary life.
