This is the first of a series of blog posts to assist you to in being more present and living from the Core of who you are, or the Core Self. In this post we take a look at some of the qualities of the Core self, and the journey we take in becoming transparent to its essence energies. We also take a look at how our normal adult awareness inadvertently acts to block our full knowing of this self.
The core self is the essence of you that is unchanged by your life's experiences, and in it purest expression is comparable to the energy of a bright shining child - a Golden child. When we are connected to this essence we may not always be ebullient, and will still feel deeply all of life's experiences, yet sense from a deeper place that life is joyful and all is well no matter what the circumstances. The Core self is the real and unchanging part of you, that in its higher aspects is also the source of your wisdom, love and infinite intelligence..
In our normal experience of life, this essence and childlike brightness is normally covered over to the extent that you as the adult are protecting against feeling either current pain, or the hurts that the child suffered while growing up. We might feel unable to provide love and compassion to these hurt parts of self, Instead we might act out to protect ourselves from feeling pain in less than beneficial ways, such as being reactive or being triggered in to engaging with habits of thinking and behaving that are unhelpful.
The first step is to honor the child aspect of the Core self as real, we know and relate to this aspect through our feeling states, by simply being present to our feelings and allowing our experience to include painful or hurtful feelings and emotions, when these are present and or surface.
Next we might choose to love and understand what has hurt us, so we may release these hurts. Loving what does not feel good does not come naturally to us. Hence part of this journey of learning to love is allowing our normal adult awareness to step aside and connect to all of the Inner guidance and support that is constantly available,
An important part of learning to love and listening in to guidance is engaging in dialogue with any hurt or wounded aspects, recognizing any mistaken beliefs that may be keeping us stuck, and receiving insights about what is really true and what will allow us to open and expand our hearts again and be free to move forward.
This moving aside of our normal adult awareness in to higher guidance and openness to loving ourselves is a process we learn to move through again and again so we may become more integrated and whole, and know ourselves as one with the core self or essence of who we are.
Through this journey, and as our normal adult awareness (including the conditioned ideas of self) starts to release its idea of centrality, we drop in to a growing awareness of the Core self. As adults we can now become more of a transparent filter to the pure and lighter aspects of being, and enjoy a lot more flexibility in our choices. Other benefits include being receptive to higher guidance so we may receive more of what is truly on our path, as well as enjoying the unfolding that occurs as we become more loving and vigilant to the inner child and it feeling states.
This is both a childlike space where we are surrendered and open to life, as well as a space of authentic presence and power, where you have access to your unlimited creativity and genius, along side the childlike qualities of curiosity, enthusiasm, exuberance and joy.
