Running Toward the Sword: Reclaiming the energy you’re using to "not look.”
I don't fuck with the Sword of Damocles.
You know. That nagging feeling in your gut or the perpetual nugget of burn in your chest. A signal from your body that says, "Hey, look at this." Maybe it’s a truth about your relationship, a boundary you haven't set, or a part of your shadow you’re terrified to own. Most people spend a massive amount of life force trying to ignore/downplay/bypass/compartmentalize/repress that nagging "sword" hanging over them. They live in a state of low-grade anxiety, waiting for the thread to snap.
Witch Wisdom: Watch out for "Sword of Damocles” energy. Be wary of what you build or manifest with it.
The second I feel something I’m afraid to look at, I run straight toward it. Why? Because that nerve-y energy you’re using to hide is actually your power in a cage. Throughout my own personal self-development journey, I have often been astounded at how much "work there is to do" or how some issue (I previously thought resolved) is coming up...AGAIN. “The work” seems never-ending.
So instead of living in the overwhelm of that, I just flip it on its head and create a new perspective. I make that the normal and expected truth of anyone's evolution journey.
Radical Acceptance Yo!
But I really accept it, so I no longer judge myself if I have to work through something again or unexpectedly. Also, I know not to delay or procrastinate, because I'll just be wasting my time and my energy. I've trained myself to run towards that which I'm afraid of.
Witch Wisdom: Eat your fear and use it as fuel to move forward.
We can use pleasure, sexual self-love and all kinds of erotic practices to soothe the nervous system so that we can be brave enough to look. We use Eros to anchor us while we face the truth. We don't pleasure ourselves to escape the world; we pleasure ourselves to fortify our spirits for the next confrontation.
Tired of being dominated by your fear. Dom(me) it back!
