Layer upon layer,
your beliefs wrap around.
Enclosing, protecting
from the wounds of life.
What once had value,
now droops from the stem.
And still you hold on,
afraid to let go.
What once kept you safe,
now keeps you locked in;
hidden from view…
afraid of opening.
Layer upon layer,
vulnerable and soft
yearning to drop
the weight,
and surrender.
I so love this. It’s a practise that brings openings and startling revelations about what no longer serves me. Surrender…
Thank you, wise woman whom I love.
Jill Prescott It’s a practice that takes opening over and over again, a practice for living fully. xoS
I’ll share one that I just bumped into Sandi 😮 Anger. It no longer serves me to stuff my anger.
It’s okay for me to be angry!
Yay!

Lori Yes, release it, open up to it and then like the image get to the core, what’s important and what really will serve you!
Great question. The belief that is no longer serving me, that I am knee-deep in the midst of mucking out, is that I’m not enough to handle whatever comes my way. I am enough, I have enough, and I will thrive despite the challenges that come my way. I may feel like I’m dying, but I can face it down and find my way through. I do not need someone else to rescue me; I have the ability to rescue myself if I allow it.
Ellen Berg Beautiful, Ellen! And so very wise. You ARE enough.

Ellen Berg Peeling back the layers of enoughness is an ongoing practice. It’s one of the most prevalent, debilitating beliefs and it takes courage to heal those wounds. You my friend, have that courage and more than enough heart for this practice.
Ellen stole my answer! My belief that I am not enough isn’t serving me. It never has, and it never will. To believe that somehow I am a mistake or defective — the very essence of shame and the not enough belief — holds me back in every area of my life. It’s a weed in my garden of beliefs that needs to be pulled out relentlessly every time I come across it. It’s damned persistent, but I WILL prevail.
Carol Hess It’s time for a new gardener 😉
Sandi Amorim Carol Hess Yes!
That I am unable to financially support myself doing the work I love. This (miss)belief has been round for 30 years and it’s time I let it fall away…
KateBacon Looking forward to talking and helping it fall away!
