Sometimes you get into the metaphysical and others the metaphysical gets into you.
Taking time to really understand oneself is a lifelong process. Being a Pisces rising (in Eastern Astrology) I'm a sensitive soul, and naturally drawn to occult understandings... But it's not always been easy to dig deep.
The past pain and rejection or lack of understanding about my feminine side has brought me to the brink before. As I've been told throughout my youth to "man up" or to "stop being so sensitive." I can't blame others for their lack of acceptance of the more feminine qualities I have been struggling to integrate in my life. The outside is merely a reflection of the inside.
What lies behind all fear and insecurity is acceptance and courage, the path through is to love yourself. Now we've all heard that before, but what it means is being in this moment and taking time to listen. To match the energy of the moment with openness, with ahimsa (concept of no harm) and curiosity.
On the other side of that is worth the effort, the patience, positivity and the pain... always.
No matter what people say, remember you are beyond great. You are exactly who you need to be, and that's something to celebrate.
