Navigating Life, Business, and Parenting with Conscious Intention & Intuition
The Rose of Conscious Living: Beauty and Thorns on Your Intuitive Path
When you gaze upon a rose, you're immediately drawn to its stunning beauty—the velvety petals, the vibrant colors, the perfect symmetry. Yet beneath this magnificent flower lies a stem full of sharp thorns.
This duality of the rose perfectly mirrors our journey through life. There are moments of breathtaking beauty and harmony, followed by periods when we feel the sharp sting of life's challenges.
The Dual Nature of Conscious Living.
Walking a spiritual or conscious living path embodies this same duality. Some days, everything flows effortlessly—our relationships flourish, our work inspires us, and we feel deeply connected to our purpose. Then without warning, we face real-life challenges: illness, death, relationship struggles, career setbacks, or major life transitions like marriage or childbirth.
Many believe that being "conscious" or "spiritual" means living a flawless life, adhering to rigid societal expectations of what “enlightenment” should look like. This misconception creates unnecessary pressure and unrealistic standards.
What Conscious Living Truly Means To Me.
Walking a conscious path—whether in business leadership, parenting, or personal life—isn't about perfection.
It's about:
- Presence: Fully inhabiting our precious moments, regardless of whether they bring us joy or challenge, being together fully with another in the same energetic space, consciously and aware.
- Connectedness: Maintaining awareness of the relationships that surround us, the strands of energy connecting us to others, and how we interact within our energetic spaces.
- Awareness: Staying attuned to situations, others' emotions, and the subtle energies that influence our inner and outer environments.
- Intuitive Wisdom: Tapping into my inner knowing, connecting with my guides, creating quiet space, and truly listening.
- Understanding Frequency - When you begin to understand how communication takes place on different frequencies, you open up new worlds and ways to communicate. (Think... nature, animals, spirit.)
Like the rose, we cannot separate the beauty from the thorns in our journey. The challenges we face don't indicate failure on our conscious path—they are essential parts of our growth. The thorns protect the rose, just as our challenges strengthen our resilience and deepen our wisdom.
Embracing Both Beauty and Thorns.
True consciousness isn't about avoiding life's thorns but approaching them with awareness, compassion, and openness. When we embrace both the beautiful and difficult aspects of our journey, we discover a more authentic and sustainable way of being.
