We'd all like to align with our most authentic self, and this can be a valuable intention to embrace, and yet some may question what this truly means. The journey of our lives is always fluctuating, and that is because what many perceive as the 'self' is constantly shifting as we grow and experience new things from day to day and from year to year. From one decade to the next, interests may shift or expand, beliefs may expand, and so forth. So how do we know when we are aligned with our highest, and most authentic self?
The way I see it, our highest self is revealed when we are lit up in joy, fully in love with life, feeling lighthearted, at peace, and free. We are able to find the ways that are most natural for us to express joy and share joy. When you follow the light of the heart, or your 'heart light magic,' this is when you can become more and more aligned. It may be that there are people, places, activities and circumstances that do offer us inspiration on our journey, and these are valuable to embrace in our lives. It's important to remember though that the true 'self' we are seeking to become is not necessarily found within a specific external phenomenon, but the energy within our own heart.
Once we can recognize that our truest nature "is" this bliss, this joy, this peace and calm, from there it is just a matter of aligning our lives more and more in ways that allow this Light from within to shine forth. It means feeling grateful that which is already in your life, while also becoming more aware of what it is that helps to bring out this Light even more. And when we do this, we bless everyone around us. As we feel the light more and more within ourselves, we can also see how unique and amazing this light is within those around us as well.
As we move forward into the fall, I encourage for you to remember that your true authentic self is that radiant shining star found within. If there is ever a time that you feel you may not be enough, feel that you fall short in some way, or made some type of mistake, remember that what many perceive as the 'self' is transitory, but the true Light within will always be vibrant and beautiful, burning bright just like the stars in the sky. So may it be that you 'connect with your heart, feel your inner light, and then watch as the magic explodes!' Regardless of how it may be that life unfolds on the external realm, if you can feel this magic from within, this is the abundance we all seek.
From my heart to yours,
Nicole
