"And maybe I can't change what's happened to me, but I can change how I choose to move forward. How I want to grow, to heal, to bloom. How I can be the change I want to see, make choices that align for me, that make me feel more at ease, that let me learn new way to feel joy, contentment and let my nervous system feel connected back to safety. This is what I can change. This is what I can choose."
"Maybe you were just getting all of your hard days out of the way early so you can live the rest of your life in peace." -Corey Allen
Treat rock stars like regular people and regular people like rock stars! Also… The more the merrier!
"Healers don't just go into isolation because they want to avoid people or are anti-social, it's because they know their energy is a SOURCE for many in the collective.
It's medicine.
If their own battery is not consistently charged and cleansed they have nothing to give back.
This is a lifestyle for many.... they have to be very selective with their relationships and who they let into their circle.
They need time and space to alchemize and transmute energy.
And for that they need alot of ALONE time."
Maybe the reason it hurts so much to grow is because we keep trying to bloom in the same soil we outgrew.
"Old age is inevitable, but immaturity is forever."
It was witches who developed an extensive understanding of bones and muscles, herbs and medicine, while physicians were still deriving their prognoses from astrology and alchemists were trying to turn lead into gold. So great was the witches' knowledge that in 1527, Paracelsus, considered the father of modern medicine, burned his text on pharmaceuticals, confessing that he had “learned from the Sorceress all he knew.”
