The chilly weather....ok the freezing weather, has us dressing up in many layers to protect us from the elements outside. These are exciting times as a child. The snowsuit, snow boots, the sting of the zipper getting caught in your neck (that might be just my memory) anyways it was worth all the effort because it lead to an outside snowy adventure. When the adventure was over we would head back inside for the thawing out process, the unlayering, taking off all the layers that were needed for our protection....required a little more effort getting layers off then on but we knew we would be warm, safe from the cold and able to enjoy a cup of hot cocoa. Throughout our lives we layer ourselves with our emotional experiences whether they be anger, resentment, regret, love, joy etc. These emotional experiences become layers that take on snowsuit form. we get to a point in life where we are not able to move easily...it feels as though we are trying to fit into our childhood snowsuit as an adult. What we don’t realize is the only thing your adult snowsuit is protecting you from is your own true potential...it's a false sense of protection. Yes there are elements we must protect ourselves from but it is not until we peel (heal) all the layers and feel safe that we learn how to live with just our true selves, our being, our soul layer. With only your soul layer exposed you strengthen your emotional immune system with your own personal power. Time to take off the emotional snowsuit.... *Take the time to heal all the experiences that you have chosen to wrap yourself in that you know are not for your highest good (they feel like the zipper sting) *Let go of limited belief layers that are causing you to not move easily, to move forward or to move in the direction of your dreams. *Learn how to enjoy the warmth of your enlightened soul by basking in the sunshine of self love and self respect. They are going to be days that are chilly or maybe even freezing....on these days put on the appropriate layers but be sure when the day is done you take off ALL the extra layers and strip down to your soul layer.....because it is your soul layer that will ultimately protect you and keep you safe from all of the outside elements.
