I’ve been thinking a lot about how people hide. We hide our hearts, mind, soul and talents.
But why? Why do you hide? Why do I hide?
I’ve been watching people, people on social media, people around me and what I am finding is that most are not consciously choosing to hide who they are.
In fact. If you look at the world of self help millions of people are seeking to find who they truly are.
For example at 18, one month after my high school graduation I hopped on a plane to fly across the country. I had to look it up on a map to know exactly where I would be living. All in search of finding me. I didn’t know at the time that that would start a 10 year journey to let go of my hiding. To discover me.
Why the hiding then? Why is it happening SUBCONSCIOUSLY and changing who we are?
Our brains have this massive ability to deal with everything. So much so that we do not need to worry about taking a breath or our heart beating. They just do it.
The brain can also control our emotional settings and experiences.
For instance. When I was in 3rd grade I started going to speech for a lisp. I had no idea I spoke differently than my school mates. I felt incredible amounts of embarrassment. I refused to practice saying “s” words correctly and cried and cried for hours. I feared being called on popcorn reading. I would sink lower in my desk and hide my face with the book. I didn’t want others to hear me speak.
Once I graduated speech I had forgotten all those moments of embarrassment. But my subconscious did not.
It changed the way I interacted with people. I didn’t want people to judge me or think I was different. So I put on my cloak and pretended I was like everyone else.
But I am not. I am not like any other person on this planet and neither are YOU!!!
I had consciously forgotten the embarrassment but my subconscious was well aware. And like it does, it seamlessly controlled how I acted in groups.
Emotions can be so powerful they literally change who you are. Just as it changed me. Becoming a cloak, a way to hide your true self.
I teach my Reiki clients and students to ask themselves. What emotions are preventing me from being my authentic self? I promise your subconscious mind will bring it to your awareness.
Follow this discovery with treating yourself to a session. It will release those emotions and help you let go of the cloak. Every time you receive a Reiki session you allow your authentic self to step forward. I can’t imagine anything more beautiful or worth while.
With love,
