Bless you, Dear Soul,
Today’s reading (and listening) is a brief passage from my book, All These Rivers and You Chose Love. May these words on upholding a boundary of sacredness in how you allow yourself to be treated serve to root and fortify you as you journey.
Following the reading, you can find details for this Sunday’s July 26 virtual creative writing seminar, a mystic, discussion-based experience that will ignite your sacred relationship with your writing. You will also find details for my newest offer: Your Sacred Word one-on-one creative writing seminar phone sessions, along with my ongoing Birthing Life creative guidance phone sessions.
For all of these offerings, I invite you to think of the people in your life who might be blessed by these experiences and invite them to register. Let’s practice behaving in our Indigenous, collective ways. Bless you always.
Rirhandzu,
Jaiya

“Sweet soul. Do not allow yourself to be treated less than sacredly. You may need to learn how to treat yourself sacredly along the way. Maybe no one in your family or life knew what sacredness looked like. Maybe each of you inherited desecration. Once you set a sacred standard, how the world treats you does not dislodge you. You will have your template, your expectation, your boundary. You will know who and what belongs in your life, based on your self-determined criteria. From this foundation, you can develop the muscles for letting go of what does not choose to or is not able to relate to you sacredly. Even if the whole world fails your sacredness, you will have the power and practice to remain rooted in reverence for yourself, your self being life itself. You see? You are sacred because you are life. You do not have to earn your sacredness. You exist, therefore, are you sacred. And what does sacredness feel like? All the purest things you have ever known. My God, you are one of them.” Jaiya John
