That was beautiful my girl. You are so strong and powerful in your words and the influence you have in your writing. I truly look forward to seeing all that you do. I am hooked on your way of thinking. You just live from emotion in motion, and it is quite delightful in your mind.
As always, I appreciate you so much for seeing me and supporting me. I feel so grateful to be here with you and our other loving soul tribe (in the Love Shack, I believe you called it in a recent note!). 😉
You are the Queen of The Love Shack. You just add charisma and purpose in all that you are and all that you say. I admire you my dear friend. Keep on shining. You have made a huge difference in my life and in my self-esteem. Thank you for being so beautiful down to your soul.
That’s so sweet of you to say. When we are seen by another loving human it does so much for all of us! Feeling is mutual! You are my Queen of Hearts sistar! 🌟
Creatures of the dark can't live in the light, but sometimes our own weakness feeds them, illuminating what would be concealed without our kind hearts.
You, my dear were dropped into my life for a reason! I want to sit and share stories and hear all your experiences. I feel so drawn to you. (Which is very rare for me) It seems like you and I see things in a similar way and have some similar life experiences. I have this deep connection to light and as long as I can remember I have had a voice tell me to “be the light”, Ive been trying to explore this more as of late. Another interesting one is dragons, I had a vision that I was a dragon and my words would turn into fire and I was very aware of how and what so said. I’m trying to learn the vocabulary of what I am trying to express and you have such a beautiful way with words and expressions. I’m excited to read and take in all your work. Thank you for all your inspiration! 💛
Not that there is anything wrong with the common human! We are all human! But, you know what I mean! The humans with enough courage and consciousness to break free…
Wow! I’m so glad we are finding each other here! It feels like this is the place where we begin to form the chains of light instead of chains of oppression! I also have been feeling so much resonance with people here. There is a willingness to be raw and vulnerable which weeds out the common human. And then I think we have destiny paths together too! And don’t get me started about the dragon visions!!! Yes, to all you shared!!! 🙌
I need to read this repeatedly. Thank you. It’s been a long, hard journey over here, and reading your post was a powerful hug. “waiting for the world to feel safe enough for my body to take me back, so I could face the darkness that had been living in the parts of me I couldn’t bear to touch in my pain.” Yeppers. I think I’m both arms in, soul is hovering….legs still want to run but the hugging arms are keeping them still whilst they calm. Literally metaphoric or not, thanks for calming my “jimmy legs” 🩵. Working on the “grey rocking”.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. It is such a process, this whole embodiment journey back to ourselves. This world is such a heavy and hurting place. One breath at a time is what I say. And yes to all grey rock activity. You got this, my sistar! ✨
WOW this piece is so well written. Thank you for sharing your experience and reflection and explaining narcissism so eloquently.
I love the fire ceremony. I can’t believe you actually walked on the hot coal. I’ve only seen it in movies. Although my father used to grabbed hot coal with his bare hands all the time.
And what a beautiful sentence you wrote after the ceremony. Love it.
I’ve done fire rituals before, but we wrote on a piece of paper and burned. I like yours better and next time I’ll use wood instead. I can’t believe we didn’t think of that. Duh
What you shared makes so much sense, we must not forget our own light.
Thank you for sharing your story so openly and bringing healing 🙌💛
May we continue to rise everyday and may we never ever dim our light ✨✨✨✨
Yes! Once we realize that everything is happening ‘for us’ and not ‘to us’ that’s when the true magic happens! 🙌 Best of luck on your continued healing journey! ♥️
I'm not sure if I already replied, I felt like I did? But maybe only in my own head! Anyway, thanks so much for this long and thoughtful comment! Yeah, breaking the wood was very powerful. And the hot coal didn't burn my feet! It's mind over matter all the way. At one point I lost my mental composure, as I walked over the coals multiple times, and I got a bit of a blister immediately when that happened. Our minds are so extremely powerful!
Thanks for your reply. Yes it is mind over matter all the way and not just when walking on hot coal. lol
I too lost my mental composure at one point (again not while walking on hot coal) but I’m so grateful of that breakdown, it really changed my perspective about what’s truly important in my life.
As part of my healing, I learned to appreciate everything that happened to me. I started asking each time, what is this situation trying to teach me. It’s life changing approach to life.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I think that coming back to our bodies and to safety can only really happen when we remove the people who cause harm. It’s a hard but necessary part of healing.
I always appreciate how open and honest you are with your pain, and even more appreciative to be able to witness you transform it into light. It’s a great reminder for us all— the true definition of alchemy, transforming suffering into consciousness. Thank you for bringing us along on this journey.
This is so beautiful! Great reflections! And I loved the: “Both lose the ability to rest in their own radiance.” Just two opposite ends — both wounded in their own ways / responding to the world from it. 🌍
I love how you’ve reclaimed yourself soul in your body and continue to do so with each burn of the fire! 🔥
This is one of the most profound reflections on healing I’ve ever read. The way you connect narcissism to the deeper wound of separation feels like truth at the cellular level. Your story of remembering, reclaiming, and walking through fire is a testament to the resilience of the soul. Thank you for turning your pain into light and for reminding us that peace is presence, not avoidance.
Aww, thanks my sweet soul sistar! 🌟 I love that this post spontaneously arose last night and it included the picture of Archangel Michael after I had also read your post and we were both writing about narcissism too! We are so connected! ✨🙏
And finally with my soul tribe here: intuitives, empaths, creatives, starseeds, light warriors and the like! Instead of karmics! Maybe we get to move on finally???
"I kept hovering just above my own life, waiting for the world to feel safe enough for my body to take me back,
This line really spoke to me. That feeling of living outside of ourselves, and realising how many of our patterns come from focusing on what’s outside, is so familiar.
I’m in the process of trying to come back to myself, and live in my body again and sometimes it feels like I don’t even know where to begin.
This was so beautifully written, you radiate such strength, kindness, and a deep understanding of both the world around you and your soul. Thank you for sharing this. 💛
Thanks so much for reading! And I just realized you are in Italy! I went to university in Padua and got my degree there in elementary education. Lived there almost six years! And my oldest is planning on going to John Cabot’s in Rome for undergrad next year. I love that we have connected here. And isn’t it interesting how we leave our bodies and then live, half dissociated, as a way of life! Us empaths are in permanent flight or freeze mode, while the narcissists are stuck in fight!
Oh wow. When I read your post, I felt like you had lived something I’d experienced, that feeling of coming back to myself. And now it turns out you’ve actually had the same experience I’m living right now, studying at an Italian university! I’m in Siena! That’s so exciting for them to be studying in Rome.
It’s also really funny to finally notice the dissociation and have moments of, wait why did I end up in Italy? And to be trying to calm my nervous system in such a beautifully chaotic place 😂
That’s so cool! I lived in Sienna for the first summer, when I first arrived as a study abroad student! I love Sienna and Tuscany in general! And I believe now that I went there and stayed so long because, for one, I needed to subconsciously get away from my family and my past, and, secondly, because it’s such a nurturing and beautiful country! Can’t wait to read some more of your work too! ♥️🇮🇹✨
Maybe so. Thanks for this reflection. For me fire is not ego. But I guess one could attribute meaning in different ways to anything in life, that's what makes us so unique. For me, fire is light, is strength, is purification. But it can also be destructive.
That was beautiful my girl. You are so strong and powerful in your words and the influence you have in your writing. I truly look forward to seeing all that you do. I am hooked on your way of thinking. You just live from emotion in motion, and it is quite delightful in your mind.
Awww, thanks, my love! 🥰

Creatures of the dark can't live in the light, but sometimes our own weakness feeds them, illuminating what would be concealed without our kind hearts.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, our weakness feeds them until we learn the lesson and stop being a feeding source! Thanks for reading! 🥰

Sorry this is a long one 😊

I knew exactly what you meant. 😊🤗
Wow! I’m so glad we are finding each other here! It feels like this is the place where we begin to form the chains of light instead of chains of oppression!

Oh and I’m sorry about the loss of your soulmate. I hope you find peace in his guidance. And wherever his soul is, may he also rest in peace 🙏🏽

Thank you sweetheart for your kind words. Thank you for sharing your post and helping me see my own reflection. 🫂
It’s so magical to see and be seen on this platform. I’m so here for all of it!!!

There’s such embodied truth in this, Venus
... how real healing isn’t in rising above but in returning to ourselves.
I felt the power in that line: peace sometimes looks like distance.
Beautifully told.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I think that coming back to our bodies and to safety can only really happen when we remove the people who cause harm. It’s a hard but necessary part of healing.

Of course :)
This is so beautiful! Great reflections! And I loved the: “Both lose the ability to rest in their own radiance.” Just two opposite ends — both wounded in their own ways / responding to the world from it. 🌍
I love how you’ve reclaimed yourself soul in your body and continue to do so with each burn of the fire! 🔥
Not an easy path to walk. 😮💨
But I am right there beside you! 👯♀️
🤍🫶🏻
I’m so glad we get to walk it together here. My life is better with you in it. Thanks for reading and restacking! Love your light, my sistar! 🌟
🥰🥰🥰🫶🏻
