Take Off The Armour - The Courage To Live Vulnerably

The armour we consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously wear to protect ourselves, can often isolate us from the love, healing and connections we need and deserve.

I went to church today and it was a beautiful service. The topic of the sermon was insecurities. How insecurities can become an armour we use to shield ourselves from connecting to all that is around us. What insecurities do you carry around with you? Can you let go and allow your true authentic self to shine through always? As we develop from childhood, certain situations, experiences, programmings, conditioning, family, community and societal expectations may become the catalyst for developing and nurturing insecurities. Sometimes, our own self judgement, self critical nature, self destructive ways, may cause even more insecurities. Thereby taking us further away from our highest self, from our Divine nature.

Insecurities come from our lowest self. The parts of us that we often reject, protect, hide, dress up/mask, defend and sometimes bring out to fight for us. The creator created us all uniquely. To experience, live out our purpose and let our uniqueness shine through. What makes you unique is all of you. Only showing or shinning what you think, or believe are your perfections, often blocks you from connecting with others. From receiving the love, guidance, support and true connection, you need and deserve. Insecurities can often keep you alone in your mind, isolated from communities and ecosystem of support, love, help, healing and guidance you need and deserve, to keep growing, to keep going, to keep living as your maker as designed and planned for you to live out your life.

You are an empowered being, a truly amazing, unique, creative, powerful force of nature. When you allow yourself, when you give yourself permission to lay down the armours (insecurities) and any sword (intelligence) you use to defend and protect yourself, you will truly see life has always been here to support, love, guide, provide and heal you. You will see all you’ve ever wanted, all you’ve ever desired, that will serve your highest purpose and the highest purpose of all, is already here. Waiting for you to know you are worthy and deserving of it all.

I was moved, a part of me shifted and a deep realisation happened as I sat, listened, digested and started to integrate the sermon, the teachings from today’s church service. As a High Priestess, part of my training and commitment, is to learn from every area of life, that supports life to be healthy, well and wealthy. To seek and see the Divine in all truly connected spiritual ways. To keep growing, learning, integrating from all that will be of service for the highest purpose of all. In my ancestral tradition I carry forward, this is one of the essence. To learn from all ways, all parts of life knowing everything that is true, that is Divine has a place in our being.

I want to encourage you, inspire you, motivate you to let go of whatever insecurities are still keeping you hostage. Still keeping you living from fighting and defending yourself. Still keeping you living from fear. You no longer need them. Remember, being vulnerable is not a weakness but an opportunity for deeper connection and healing. The Divine/God/Olodumare/Existence/Universe/Great Mystery/Quantum Field whatever name, however way you relate to the source of everything, will fight for you and defend you. Allow your uniqueness to shine through, the parts of you that are truly great, the ones that need improvement, the imperfect parts. Allow all of you to shine through, it is the way to be living your Divine will, living your soul contract, the destiny, the purpose God has created you for. The reason you have come to Earth.

A lot of insecurities come from wanting to be accepted by others, wanting to receive unconditional love, wanting to appear like you have it all under control, wanting not to show weakness. A lot of insecurities come from the fear of not being good enough, fear of not being worthy, comparing yourself to others, judging yourself and others. A lot of insecurities come from shame and guilt. A lot of insecurities comes from not accepting yourself where you are, not seeing yourself where you are, projecting yourself into the future, into a state of where you think you should be, or where you want to be. You are where you are and that is perfectly okay. And if you don’t receive the love and support you need from your family, friends and community, then perhaps these people are not part of your support system and it is okay to distance or let them go.

Just revealing your perfections, or trying to fit in, or people please to be accepted due to fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, fear of rejection, will drain you of your vitality, of your life force. It will block what you need the most, the support, love and care that will help you to grow, change, flourish and thrive for the best. The Divine/God/Olodumare/Existence/Universe/Great Mystery/Quantum Field whatever name, however way you relate to the source of everything, loves you unconditionally as you are. The people that truly love you, will always love you unconditionally as you are. And most importantly is self love - love yourself unconditionally as you are.

For many years, I tried to hide my imperfections consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously. I tried to dress them up, mask them, shape them, change them. I tried not to reveal them, somehow it was too emotionally painful for me to confront them, for me to see them, acknowledge them, love them and accept them. The more I did not accept them, the more they came to sabotage me when I least expected. These imperfections drained my vitality, they further isolated me from those I love and those that may have truly supported.

I pray and hope you don’t make this mistake. I pray that whatever insecurity or insecurities currently holding you hostage, you can out them and let them go. You deserve support, you deserve love, you deserve to be seen as you are. This is a long piece of writing, I pray it awakens you in many ways that will help you quickly shift from fear to love, from self isolation to connection with many, from aloneness to connectedness.

Today I encourage you, like I was encouraged and inspired from the church service. Take off your armour! Take off your amour!! Take off your amour!!! And lay down your swords. Stop deflecting. You no longer need to have it all figured out, you no longer need to hide because of any imperfections. Let your security come from the highest place, from the source. Be in secure, be in security with the source of everything. Be secure in the most high. This way, you no longer need to fight battles, you no longer need to defend yourself, you no longer to deflect the situations that are blessings for you. Situations that will help you grow, transcend your imperfections. Situations that will keep you connected to more people, more places and all of existence.

Situations that will allow you to see the humanness of it all, that we are all imperfectly perfect. If you allow yourself on the journey of life to grow, to receive feedback that will help you improve your ways, your work and transform yourself. To receive encouragement, empowerment, inspiration, connection, love, joy, help, support and guidance from the people and all that is around you. Without the feelings of not being good enough, or fear of being judged, or being criticised, then you are allowing the Divine to work through you and through others. You will be able to connect with the people the Divine has brought on your path, placed in your life to uplift you, help you grow, support you and love you as you are, where you are, in the most beautiful and authentic way. Allow your true self to shine through.

I love you and I pray this writing shifts you from fear to love, from lack of faith to a stronger believe that God/The Divine/Existence/The Universe/The Quantum Field/…. Whatever name you call this source loves you exactly as you are where you. Ire o! Blessings.
