 It’s no small feat to be continuously taking off the armour.
We unconsciously pack it on THICK - From the time we come into the world, we start this process - Physically, emotionally, mentally - the layers pile on through our formative years and well into our adult lives. Often times we pile on so much, that we can have a deep, debilitating sense of being disconnected from our true selves. A strange sense of something missing. Something just outside of our conscious grasp. A lot of the time we can feel nothing. No-thing. A complete numbness, which is in of itself a feeling, albeit a slippery one that can go unnoticed and unnamed as we simply default into re-action, re-orienting or filling the sense-less with something that can allow us to feel again. We are born with wounding - Ancestral, karmic and genetic wound imprints that set the stage and a monumental storyline of our lives. We have needed this armour, it has served a perfect purpose up until this point in humanities evolution, where it is not only an option to begin the process of deconstructing it, yet a profound necessity if we are going to do our part of birthing a new paradigm into this realm in the years ahead. The armour holds sheaths of pain, trauma and past hurts that will ask for deeper resolution as we take more and more layers off. We will have to FEEL, more intensely than we ever have because underneath the layers are the feeling that have been denied up until this point… To end our suffering, we need to enter our pain. It's THE portal. Opening up to the shadows are opening up to this pain, and counter intuitively, it’s where our only true lasting freedom will come from on this physical plane. Our deepest pain is held in our shadows, inside of ourselves, this is why the outer distraction piece is so addictive and a way of life for the consumer driven masses. The more armour comes off, the more tender pieces that have never seen the light of day will arise. Nothing to numb, nothing to hide, just to simply BE and feel what wasn’t possible to access before these rapidly transformative times in which we now find ourselves. There is no more courageous and grittier journey than to turn inwards, to face, feel and take full ownership for the shadow inside and to dissolve these hardened layers that once served a great purpose. To form a new relationship with the vulnerable, the unknown and a deeper sense of magic that has been inaccessible for eons... To stand and meet life from a more raw and connected standpoint, and to open our hearts more to life and a greater sense of love and fulfilment that has ever been possible before this point in time. The time is now. 🖤 Dan Regan #armour #numbness #emotionalintelligence |
