Embodied Love is something that a lot of people aren’t ready to hold. It’s big. It asks for our total presence. It asks us to step out of fantasy and step into the body and show up for it in its totality.
Every shade of the rainbow.
That’s why fantasy is so much more fun.
The astral is a playground that asks for no accountability. It’s seductive. And it’s usually where we get stuck. We think we’ve hit the secret to life. We can project our consciousness and live through Archetypes and mythos. We become possessed by astral figures that make us feel larger than life. They feed us as we feed them.
We can be having a full-on reality that is only in our mind. Or with another.
It’s the land of twin flames, astral ology, and all these shiny things that hook our attention.
The astral breaks up our embodied lives because it seems larger than life and we spend our precious life force feeding it. It breaks up marriages. It creates psychosis, it can make embodied love feel too boring.
We usually choose to live here from our inability to have the courage to face ourselves and have the hard conversations with ourselves, with others, to live joyfully embodied. It’s a plane many go to escape.
When I was ready to remember the astral and come back into the body and live embodied, I had to have the courage to walk away from everything that couldn’t meet me here.
The grief is deep. Because it’s also grieving a part of me that felt so vivid, so alive, and it was pulling almost all of my energy everywhere but here.
The pain of walking away from people I love because my embodied self became “too” everything.
Because when you decide to live embodied, all the grief you’ve shoved inside of you surfaces. Experiences come to clear out and help you love every part of yourself.
And at times, reality is heavy and dark.
And some people aren’t ready to carry that part of themselves.
Some people will make it about you instead of partnership and not be able to meet you here and say, this means enough to make this a reality on the physical plane. I want to work on us.
And when that moment arrives, there’s a choice.
To embody what you are, or lose yourself to the fantasy.
I know it well.
I did it often.
And then someone came that I thought I could have the best of both worlds with.
And that’s when the real work came.
And the question became, can you remain embodied and also embody love?
Can you do the work with another and remain open and curious and fold back into love over and over again?
And can you not abandon yourself and remain embodied where the basic requests become “too”?
Can you have the courage to walk away when the answer is, I’m not willing to do this for love, for you, for us?
Can you love yourself enough to walk away from a love you love deeply that doesn’t have the capacity to hold you?
Can you walk away and see both sides of the story?
Can you stay embodied?
Can you call all your energy back to you?
Can you sit with the pain this one time and feel it fully to step completely out of the loop?
Can you stay with it and not reach for distraction or enter the loop with another?
Can you see where this pattern has shown up over and over again in your life?
Can you do the work to unfold into a space big enough to hold all of you and the love that you are?
