Letting Go – Day 14
BF: It felt empowering. Energetically, spiritually and physically, I went to places I wouldn’t ever have imagined I could go. I was better able to see the gifts in all of experience, not just the good stuff. While many people might describe what happened (in my shamanic death episode) as a breakdown, I believe it was one of the most valuable experiences I’ve ever had, especially for how it’s helped me to better help others. For the fact that I went past my fear and was fully prepared to go to my death for what I believed was right, it’s shown me what kind of compassion my heart is capable of.
JG: Do you feel you ‘lost’ anything through the process?
BF: Yes, I do. It’s become incredibly clear to me that gentleness is a far greater strength than the methods I’d been using trying to ‘fortify’ myself previously. I lost a lot of the fearful scripts that were running subconsciously in the background. I lost that sense of feeling that things are/were not the way I ‘wanted’ them to be, and that I wouldn’t be safe unless I fought to change them. Having dropped dysfunctional aspects of the masculine mindset I’d previously adopted, I’ve been much better able to give and receive, and live in a much more balanced, centered, and peaceful way.
Thank you, for the opportunity of sharing medicines.
