Does essentialization – moving closer to one’s essence – happen from the inside out or the outside in?

Shedding layers that cover our radiance is essential for letting our inner light shine. But what I’ve discovered is that it is impossible to shed outer layers that often provide security without feeding your essence daily.

So the process is simultaneous! We feed our inner spirit daily, all day if possible, by remaining aware of our eternal, timeless Self. Meditation, conscious breathing, and mindful awareness feed our spiritual core and help it to grow.

As it grows, and we begin to feel more secure obout our spiritual essence being the foundation of our identity, we can let go of the outer stuff that we used to cling to for security: bad habits, relationships that no longer serve our growth, jobs we’ve outgrown, labels that no longer fit, extra weight or physical congestion, emotional baggage…

Soon we become transparent… Well, maybe not soon, but sooner rather than later.

My music muse, Amy, turned me on to an artist named India Arie who sings about being sent here to share the difficult lesson she learned about loving herself unconditionally. I would highly recommend her music if your into self-love and personal empowerment 🙂

Here are some lyrics from her song “Video:”

“Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don’t

Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won’t

Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes

It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I’m not the average girl from your video and I ain’t built like a supermodel

But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen…”

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you can’t stand it? This is an interesting predicament. We long for something or someone that we think will bring us a feeling of fulfillment and joy, yet what are we really longing for?

When we feed another object or person with our attention and energy, a piece of our essence extends to them. As we continue to feed the desire, we give away more of our own light. This causes us to become dim and lose our power of attraction.

Perhaps we can take our light back, by refusing to long for what we don’t have… By being fully in the present moment and nourishing ourselves fully with the energy it provides.

Walking the fine line between human attachment and spiritual enlightenment is an art that few have mastered. I’m certainly not there yet. But what if we were able to be so fully in our bodies and in the present moment that our powerful essence attracted whatever we needed?

This is my goal of the moment. Being in love with right now… and having faith that my presence will light my path and attract my highest life.

Career Press/New Page Books is publishing my book, The Energy Cure (formerly known as Plug in and Charge). Look for it in bookstores this fall!

Is anyone else experiencing a gut level reaction to Saddam’s execution? I don’t understand it. I would not consider myself overly political, however I would consider myself intuitive. One of the ways my intuition speaks to me is through feelings in my body.

Every time I catch a glimpse of the news of Saddam my stomach gets heavy and sadness washes over me. Isn’t there a better way to handle people who are seriously misguided and dangerous?

I have been technologically challenged this past few weeks and it left me blogless for a while.. I’m so glad it’s back!

I realized that this blog helps me feel more connected to you. Even though I sometimes don’t know who reads it or what you are going through, simply extending myself in this form gives a feeling of connection.

Your comments are golden. Thank you. But even when you don’t comment I feel you, so keep checking and I’ll keep writing!

Blessings during this holiday season and beyond. Shout out to Jesus! Happy birthday brother!

Love, Kim
