WARPED MIRRORS

METAPHOR #3 OF 3 FOR EASIER (hu)manifestation

​MANY INACCURATE MIRRORS WERE HELD UP FOR YOU EARLIER IN LIFE. STOP LOOKING INTO THOSE MIRRORS.

​YOU ARE NOT THAT INCOHERENT.

The mirrors were wrong. Stop looking into those mirrors.

Stop telling the story of being that, NOT being that, being treated as that, still being treated as that, being victimized by that, being plagued by that, being stuck with that, being sick because of that, being unsuccessful because of that, having fraud syndrome because of that ...

If you really want to get radical, stop telling the story even of needing to heal from that, needing to unlearn that, needing to fix or improve that.

What mirror has felt beautiful, right, and good to you? What mirror has shown you the truth of who you are, the beauty that you are, the goodness that you cannot help but be? What mirror has filled you with compassion, appreciation, purpose, pleasure, well-being?

Go to, hold up, stand in front of, linger with, recognize all the good mirrors life has held and is holding up for you. Be still with that each time it drops in, receive an accurate vision of yourself, even catch glimpses in passing as they pop in constantly. The more you look for them, or notice you’re seeing them or in retrospect did see them, the more they’ll show up.

Be well. Be who you really are. Be here now. That’s your key to creating the life you really want going forward.

Love & blessings, Jaya

My first metaphor involved the story of my failed trip to Rome and the importance of the journey matching the destination.

My second metaphor was about the revolving door of the mind and the injunction to keep concertedly heading toward what you WANT with your thoughts.
