The Art of Vulnerability

Vulnerability. Like sensitivity, one of those concepts – or character traits – which, in our society, isn’t necessarily welcomed. 

Vulnerable means open. Vulnerable means raw. Vulnerable means showing your imperfections to the external world. 

And imperfection has a hard time existing in a world which likes us all to believe everyone (but ourselves!) is living up to its limiting and pressurising standards.

As I often end up concluding, vulnerability is part of our sacred rebellion as conscious women.

Our world is a hard place, with toxic masculine standards, an ongoing hustle and the ever ongoing linear curve of go-go-go. In this world, we are expected to contribute to the patriarchal society. We need to make money, pay tax, be a consumer of products and services and long for the endlessly ongoing growth curve as much as the next person.

All this pressure to be a hardened, hustling person in a hardened, hustling world has completely detached us from our heart and soul. 
One part of reverting this detachment is returning to intuition and creating space for that inner wisdom to come through. 
Another part is to embrace and reclaim vulnerability. 

It is a brave thing to open up your heart in this hardened world. 
To speak your truth, share your rawness and show your imperfect emotions and thoughts and feelings. 
And it is exactly this bravery that we all, knowingly or unknowingly, crave. 

We crave true, deep, meaningful connection with others (and ourselves!). 
We crave to see our raw hearts mirrored back to us by others. 
We crave breaking down those walls around our heart and feel the lush flow of loving energy again. 

Your open heart can move mountains. Create miracles. Receive magic and radiate power. 

Coming home to your true nature means a coming home to the raw, imperfect, vulnerable you. 

Embracing your vulnerability will heal you. And in turn, it will heal the world. So open your heart, dear one. You’re more than ready.
