Something that’s come up for me recently being around so many powerful channels and healers is the old inferiority/superiority complex. This seems to be a common theme/issue that comes up for healing for many here. How often do we think: this person is so much more advanced, trained, spiritual, etc, than we are and feel ourselves come up short in comparison? Or vice versa?
But the truth is, there is no comparison, because we are all unique and individual in the gifts, talents, and abilities we bring to the world—the special “medicine” only we carry. No one else carries the medicine we carry. No one else can complete the puzzle of life with the piece each one of us is uniquely here to contribute.
Each of us has a very particular dharma (or specific role, calling, or mission) to play out here—and we scripted these dharmas before we came into this life with full awareness of who we were before and what “work” in this lifetime would be the best continuation of work done/lessons learned/areas of healing in previous ones. Our goal here is simply to allow our unique dharma to unfold, to allow our individual flower to open up and blossom.
How do we do this? We focus on our strengths and really develop and nurture them, just as we would a garden; we lavish loving attention on the garden of our life—planting seeds, watering, spreading sunshine, pulling weeds, and sprinkling love, love, and more love on what we’re growing in our lives. And when our flowers start to open up and blossom, we let ourselves shine in our full glory, we spread the love and joy that is ours to share, we radiate our beauty out into the world. We don’t feel shame for who we are; we give deep thanks for the gifts we’ve been given and share them freely with the world. We allow others to experience who we are and help in whatever ways we can.
This is tending to our garden of life. And when each of us does this, we create a new Garden of Eden, a earthly paradise in which we are all beautiful blossoming souls sharing our unique gifts and medicine with each other in an atmosphere of love, joy, peace, harmony, and oneness with All That Is.
Happy gardening! ∞
(p.s. it’s funny, I wrote this post before I got a gardening gig for this week, talk about being tapped in! ;-P)
