Ingredients for Growth - Humility

One of the greatest gifts of the pandemic for me personaly was the gift of humility. It was as a result of these world events that I began to question my own assumptions and beliefs in many areas. The overwhelming evidence of harm shook my convictions to the point of no longer being able to trust any of my former assumptions. I began to question everything!

The gift of this experience has been the realisation that we all get things wrong at one time or another and that real strength lies in recognising this and being humble enough to entertain the possibility of being wrong in each and every area of our lives.

Curiosity allows us to be open to new ideas and information.

Humility allows us to be open to changing our mind, when the new information warants it.

Humility is, in my experience, the hardest of the two to cultivate. Being humble can feel very threatening to our ego. Admitting we might be wrong requires us to face our mistakes and take responsibility for our actions, for the possible harm we have done to ourselves and others.

I feel blessed. I have amazing tools I can use to help me work through the shame, the guilt and the pain that are connected to my mistakes and failures. It has been an increadibly painful and humbling journey, but also an amazing blessing. I have emerged stronger, more open and at peace with myself and my life. I love myself and accept myself as I am - failures and all. I have forgiven myself for being duped, for not knowing any better, for refusing to listen and look at the evidence, for the possible harm my decisions have caused myself and those I love, particularly my children.

Life is not about perfection.

Life is about growth and transformation.

It is through mistakes that we learn and grow. It is through processing our emotional baggage and life experiences that we transform.

Denial serves no purpose except to prolong harm and suffering.

In today's world of algorythms and cancel culture, it is so easy to double-down, stay on our high horse and avoid being humble. It seems like we are actively encouraged to dimiss ideas, values and beliefs that are different from our own, to dismiss the people who hold them as ignorant or evil.

To divide and conquer is a strategy as old as time.

Humility is one of the ways we can avoid falling pray to it. So I invite you to find the tools you need to delve into the still unprocessed emotions and experiences you hold in your body and mind, and free yourself of the limitations of your ego self.

I promise you it is worth it.

If you feel inspired to get in touch and explore some of the tools I use to make this happen, I would be honoured and happy to facilitate sessions for you or teach you Resonance Repatterning or Scalar Heart Connection.

With love and gratitude,
