How to Encounter Your Authentic Self?

Misha Ceremony, Dec 9, 2023

These are channeled messages from Source. I often refer to Source as THEY as they are a collective consciousness.

Why Are Challenges Helpful?

When I questioned the recent chaos and felt as though Mexico was trying to push me away, I asked, 'Does Mexico not want me here?'

In response, they conveyed, 'These difficulties aren't Mexico City's attempt to push you away; rather, they're our way of preparing you to navigate one of the world's largest cities. You're no longer a child; you're a woman. Children flee in the face of challenges, but adults endure hardships and learn to live with them. This preparation is meant to show you that you're no longer a victim; you have the capacity to manage Mexico City and all the challenges it presents so that you can help the city and make a difference here.’

“By cultivating your spiritual fire, you will be able to face these challenges with ease”, they said.

“How do I do that?” I asked. Their response surprised me greatly – “By having boundaries with yourself”.

They referred to the card I had picked earlier, the “Desire” card from my Gaia deck.

“The ultimate question is, what is it that you want – and how much do you want it?”

“What are you willing to do in order to achieve your desires?”

“Do you want it enough to stop and do what needs to be done in order to have it now – or are you more inclined to wait until the task in front of you is completed? Could waiting also have consequences?”

These were the questions presented to me.

I smiled and shared that, for the first time, I knew exactly what I desired! "I want to heal and ease suffering, to bring change to the world through love and light," I exclaimed.

"Then, you need the WILL to make it happen," they emphasized. "Your will is your spiritual fire. To harness the will that can drive you into action and realize your desires, you must set boundaries with yourself. Establishing boundaries means having discipline, saying no to distractions and instant gratifications, and focusing on your deepest desires."

At that moment, I sensed a powerful surge in my stomach. "This is your gut, the center of your being, where your WILL originates. We're fortifying your physical core to develop your spiritual fire and anchor it here," they explained. My stomach contracted intensely, lifting my upper body from the bed. It felt like an excruciating core workout, causing so much soreness, yet I refused to yield. "I can do it..." I murmured, “I can do it…” I whispered. I persevered until tears streamed down, and a deep roar erupted from within. "I can do it!!!!!" My body dropped, fists raised in the air, screaming at the top of my lungs. In that moment, I knew—I could achieve anything my heart desired. It was my moment of rebirth, emerging from the fire as the divine feminine, liberated from past wounds. I'd never felt such immense power coursing through me. It surged through my entire being. Then, I heard, "There you go, my child. First, you must truly believe in yourself. And remember, you don't have to do it all alone. You have family and friends here to support you, to provide resources and help. You're not alone on this journey."

How to Encounter Your Authentic Self?

Continuing from this profound healing and insights into my desires, they passed on messages for the world.

"There are two primary feelings that shape our identities – desire and aversion. Since the moment we were born, our experiences in life lead us to develop desires and aversions toward various things. Gradually, our identity takes form based on these past encounters. Our goal is to maintain balance in two things:

1.     Balancing Desire and Aversion: Excessive desire often breeds attachment, potentially leading to addiction or a feeling of lack when unfulfilled. Conversely, insufficient desire results in apathy and lack of motivation, hindering personal growth. Aversion in excess generates negativity and hatred, which harms both ourselves and others. However, complete absence of aversion might lead to risky behaviors and unsafe situations.

2.     Balancing an identity that's about 80% solid and 20% fluid: We need a sturdy core to affirm that 'I am me,' while staying open and flexible to allow new experiences and perspectives to shape us into better versions of ourselves. Within that 20% lies our boundaries with the world, other beings, and ourselves. These boundaries are incredibly valuable, as they help us to stay flexible, to know where we stand our ground and where we make exceptions, while preventing us from becoming rigid and confining ourselves. The key is to recognize that everything is in flux and nothing is permanent."

Many of us live our lives without truly embracing our authentic selves. The influences from family, culture, and society often create a false image that we mistakenly adopt as our true identity. Trauma can build walls between us and our inner selves, leading us to avoid self-discovery due to the pain it brings. The effort and uncertainty involved in this inner exploration can be daunting, often making it easier to wear a mask as our true identity or to stick with what's familiar, even if it doesn't align with who we truly are.

But dear ones, it all comes back to the same question, what do you truly desire and what are you willing to do in order to achieve it?

Here above, are the messages from universe, if you happen to be reading it, I believe there's a reason. I send you love and light for your journey, and know that you are not alone in this.

With love,

Miya and Divine Source Energy
