Open the heart again.

Twenty-fifteen was a unique, beautiful & divine year. At that time, I had just begun to really immerse myself into my connection to spirit and inherent healing capabilities. Little did I know the path I was about to embark on. Since then, I have endured a multitude of different traumas, pains, intense experiences, lone wolf-ness, and a rollercoaster of personal and romantic relationships. 

What I’ve recently realized is that my own heart and its own healing has held me back. I recently read a quote that said “you are not the same person you were before the trauma— breathe life into your new self.” When you endure trauma, you question yourself, your worth and your life. The path back to the self is realizing that your true nature is love, and that you are deserving of all of the amazing things that life has to offer.

A big release for me was realizing this and acknowledging my own human potential by beginning to allow myself to be vulnerable and free again— back to where I once was, but in a way that’s even deeper and more connected. Self love is so incredibly powerful and the more we lean into the discomfort of vulnerability, the more opportunities we have to love both ourselves, and those around us. 

Honor who you are and remember that no pain is stronger than your own heartbeat. No pain is bigger than love, and no experience will hinder you forever. Your body is wired to heal and you are always able to rise back up. #Gabrising
