especially pain. This is done by
engaging our most conscious,
mindful self into our pain.
(yikes!) Perhaps this is where the
saying “painfully aware” comes
from! This is what will bring
about permanent transformation.
The mindful self is the slice of
you that notices when you say
Yes but you really mean no, or
vice versa. It is the part of you
that notices when you experience
internal conflict. To experience
inner conflict is to know the
feeling of being out of alignment
with your Soul's desires. Sound
familiar…? For many people their
reality is to feel or hear this voice
and sigh, saying “oh well, that’s
how the cookie crumbles.”
we allow it.
Learning where we are attached
to limitation is the beginning.
The unearthing of the how we
are attached is the middle jour-
ney. When we come to the root
of the pain (usually embedded
in childhood), we are able to see
untruth / falsity. This person-
al limit expires when we honor
and release the old belief. Here
we experience Self Realization.
This cycle on repeat is the Soul
accelerating lifestyle of Energetic
Mastery.
If you perceive that your life is
tough, you are definitely being
called into Energetic Mastery.

towards our fullest potential as
my limitations and step closer to
a Spiritual and Human Being, if
limitlessness. I became pregnant

unexpectedly, gave birth, became
a mother, moved, saw my fiancé
through addiction and recovery,
became an entrepreneur and
been $0.00 broke. I am currently
awaiting baby number 2.
Nothing really gets easier, but
you do get faster and more con-
fident at figuring your shit out.
Throughout all these milestones
I have never been more fearful.
Yet the positivity I hold through
it all strengthens me, my belief
in myself and the mysticism of
the Universe. Once upon a time
I promised to give myself my
full attention, respect and love.
I promised to never neglect or
forget me again. Needless to say
my life changed dramatically.
I learned how to follow myself
and know what I really wanted
versus what I thought I wanted.
I became my own Goddess, One
with the God Consciousness,
and created multiple ways to tap
into it at will. I became my own
healer. I knew my life could be
better, full of happiness and free-
dom, so I challenged myself to
walk the path. To do “the work”.
To answer the call of my emo-
tions, my Soul.
People tend to think that Mas-
tery of any sort is a collection
of skills and knowledge, when
really it is mostly about letting go
of energetically stagnant behav-
iors and ideas. Letting go is an
art, it’s the process of shedding
illusions of pain and suffering to
become lighter. Through this we
can come to know we have been
light all along. Only weighed
down by our pain.
