Listening to our "self"

This Love Has Whispered
Secrets In Your Ear
That Don't Make Sense
To Anybody Else.
You Know Who You Are.
You Are The Shining Star. ~ Rumi

Just when I think I have known myself enough, and that I cannot handle anymore, and as I start to give up to some particular situation, I start to get these little signs that I have more to myself. Someway or the other, I begin to realize that I have further to go. I realize that there is still work to be done and then I tend to survive.

I believe that it is important to nurture ourselves, especially during these waves of emotion that we often experience and they tend to drag us with them all the time. This state of emotional imbalance breaks us down. We therefore need to take the much needed time to listen to our inner voice, what is it telling us? 

Take time for yourself in these intense times with so much going on all around us – remember to breathe, to be in nature with Mother Earth, to do what your soul loves to do and what makes you feel true to you. This is a continual process – one which I find has become more intense. Getting to know ourselves is an awesome feeling, understanding our self and being able to work through and release so much of our "stuff" that continues to surface, is a truly empowering and rewarding experience.
