A normal aspect of growing up is that we are taught what constitutes appropriate social behavior and what does not. Stop pretending that this life is what you want, that this person is who you need, that your desires are out of reach.

For TLC straight to your inbox + life-affirming words I don't share anywhere else, just say the word.If it supports you, you can connect the words with your breathing, arrived with the in-breath, home with the out-breath. What I love about Arielle’s writing is that she takes readers on this journey step by step, filled with wisdom and grace.

I began by being aware that as I was stepping with my left foot, I was at the same time stepping with my right, because my left foot could not be without my right. I was also walking on the feet of someone who was right then doing walking meditation and enjoying the present moment. Your purpose is a part of who you are, it’s part of one of the main reasons you are here on this earth. Opening our mouth to let truth live outside our body brings freedom (reference to a Della Hicks-Wilson poem).Then I turned my attention more toward the Earth and knew I was also walking on cool streams of water flowing under me, and hot, fiery liquid deep below, in the center of the Earth.

Sometimes what is to come in the next 20 minutes or hour, most often the next year or season, and sometimes, as with the vision I’m about to share, it takes decades to fully come to fruition. You may already begin to feel yourself settling into the home inside of you: the place of your strength, wisdom, and clarity. When I stumble I pick myself up with compassion and when I tip into trying to measure up or keep up to arbitrary standards, I come back home to my vision and reorient myself. If we stay away for a long time, dust accumulates and unwanted visitors may take up residence in our home. I gift myself time to look back and reflect on how far I’ve come before setting new goals or intentions, identifying what I want to release, and turning my gaze toward what’s next.

However, on a subtle or not so subtle level, we might also learn from our parents or caregivers that “being creative” is unacceptable, or that expressing moderate anger or frustration is going against the norms of society. You’ll gain a sense of believing in, trusting and loving yourself and knowing who you are, what you want and what you deserve in life. Then it becomes a personal journey of self-reflection—one that should be looked upon with awe, curiosity, and great love. I want to shake off any remnants of oppression that cling to me before I step into the next season of my life.
