Breaking through a soul-level lesson can feel like breaking through glass: it’s messy and sharp, but freeing.

Coming to the edge of a pattern, cycle or recurring challenge and finally pushing ourselves to break through it frees up our soul for our next era.

The cliff notes:

• Put on the boxing gloves 🥊 and knock out soul-level lessons because they’re holding you back.
• We all benefit from your greatness.
• Humans love validation (raises hand 🤚) but it can hold us back from pushing through to our true potential.
• Ease can be the result and not the journey.

I see life as a series of eras, as a practice, and as a gradual becoming of our selves.

In a lot of ways, in the digital age, it is easier to be yourself AND harder.

It’s people’s actual jobs to be influencers. They are paid to influence you into beliefs, behaviors, identities…and they aren’t even trying to hide it!

But with the variety of options available to us for inspiration, we can venture to unique identities compared to how and where we grew up.

But does this help us become ourselves on a soul level?

Inconclusive.

I bet you didn’t expect that, did you?

I am pondering this, too.

How much of ME is influenced and how much of me is authentic?

How much of me is rebellion and how much of me is compliance?

What is under the surface of the identities we hold and the way we show up in the world?

Recently, I’ve been leaning into some deeper layers of my onion.

It’s not all pretty….its mostly NOT pretty to look there.

But it’s a practice I’ve embraced because deep down is the computer code I signed up for when my soul came here.

I don’t necessarily want a factory reset…everything I’ve experienced as Kristen matters, too.

It’s all a series of eras.

But…unconsciously walking through these eras without reflection and recognizing the layers, the influences, the cycles, the patterns, the challenges that recur in new spaces and with new people is not my journey.

I’m here to sift through and evolve.

So….as I’ve shared to this audience in the past, I’m in “the gap”. This is an Ayurvedic wisdom concept of the space between. It’s compared to the space between two syllables where there is infinite possibility for what can come next.

My intention is that my next era involves a whole lot more channeling and mediumship.🙌🏼

But to get there, I am looking at the embed code that is keeping me from catapulting.

I bet you didn’t expect this email, this transparency or this honesty.

What could you be more honest about for yourself?

How could you surprise yourself today?

What sharpness can you walk through to get to freedom today?

Let’s build your next era, starting now.

Your Medium Bestie,

Kristen
