Article 26: Honesty Is Not The Easy Road

In all my years of energy healing and shamanic practice, I encounter deflection quite a lot. 

We have a habit of looking for anyone or anything other than ourselves to blame for our problems in life. 

The moment I stop blaming everything on others as a method of deflecting away from my own sabotage, is the moment when my awareness can take root.

I cannot fix anything I am not aware of.

I need to evaluate each negative experience honestly.

If it's my own actions that has contributed, or outright caused the problem, I need to own it before I can clean it up. 

We often fight this review with everything we have in our blaming tool kit.

It's because we don't want to do the work.

Never fun, but always required if I don't want to end up at the same negative outcome repeatedly. 

There are often pearls of wisdom that will change the course of my life, hiding in the shit pile, waiting for my honest review of my thoughts, words and actions. 

"Clean up in Aisle Four!"

We got this.
