honouring the light inside you

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.’

A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

mmm… my gorgeous yummy girl crush new found-old soul i know we were meant to be together friend just sent me the above quote…

it sums up things so perfectly, in a way that my ramblings do not.

you’re brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous. mwah.

i’ve been trying to form together some structure. er… somehow to piece my words together to make sense- about Namaste. i’m not a zen, meditating, yogi goddess. but the word rolls around in my mouth and makes me feel yummy and warm and light- and i love the different meanings of it. i keep wanting to use it… my favourite definition of namaste is the light within me honours the light within you. isn’t that lovely?

and seeing how i can’t figure out how to write about it, i think it fits in perfectly right here. right wherever. start saying it to yourself.
(ew… especially around christmas shopping. i’m terrible with the road rage- good thing i don’t drive any more. i don’t think that zen peaceful honouring light inside each other would help the visions of red infront of my eyes during rush hour traffic! haha)

    AHA! I just had to push the Ctrl button while clicking on comment.

    You know that I love this quote, and I think it’s ridiculously important that we all figure this out. and Namaste? yes. Besides what you said, the concept I love most about Namaste is the connection. what’s in me is in you and it’s good and divine and i honor that. yum.

    “we were meant to be together.” :)

    *sigh*
