Response or reaction?
A double-check worth running before you act ❤️ + a mystical experience
I have ALMOST written a post about the phenomena “free content or not”, which seems to be very vivid on socials these days.
Is creating free resources due to low self-worth?
What does signing up to “free webinars” tell about you?
Do we need to move away from that model and rule the online space with priced offers that claim our worth?
There are many takes and trends on this.
And as it moved something in me (mostly frustration and feeling judgement on both sides) reading all these posts, shout-outs and announcements - I thought I should also present my take on it.
So I sat down and started to craft an elaborated post on my thoughts around it, but somewhere on the way it took me to pressure, questioning my point and confusion.
So I stopped, because that is the best way to ensure you interrupt a pattern you don´t wish to continue.
I don´t wish to continue a post, which tastes pressure and performance.
Instead I leaned into what happens to be true about me: what is important, will return.
So I put the whole thing away for 2 days and this is the essence of the message:
It is easy to confuse responding (which is actually very aligned to me as a generator in Human Design) with reacting (which is when I respond while I still have emotional charges in my body and they turn on all my out of alignment signals aka. frustration and shadows) when I am also trying and testing my rhythm on content creation.
So instead of my original long post, you have my thoughts and beliefs on the matter as short bulletpoints here:
I think they way you offer your services and products is highly personal and they should feel true to you (my sign is that my body sends me excitement signals, when my actions feel aligned but slightly expansive). I believe when you have contact to your body, you can learn how it guides you.
I have received incredible insights both from free and personalized, 1:1 paid programs. Because I did not decide whether or not to join based on the price and the framework, but on resonance and listening to my intuition and rhythm. I trust that when we are guided towards a direction, we will receive the messages we need to hear. Even if it is only 1 sentence. So I value all of those offers I have ever said yes to, because they have all taught me something I needed in that moment. ***More on this guidance and a personal example down below the subscribe button.***
The best way to navigate this jungle of strategies and business advices is to actually take your power back. I believe nobody should be an authority over you. Not even, when you look up to them, admire them or being inspired by them. Hear, see, witness what they have to say, but go the extra mile to find your center, snuggle in your own skin and evaluate, how you could implement their advices in a way that is shaped by you and feels authentic to you. Everybody can only speak from their positions, and while that is extremely helpful, your solution will be unique to you.
Think like you cannot go both on path A and path B. Once you chose path A on Wednesday 11o´clock, you can talk about that being a great or a bad experience. But that very same person cannot talk about path B as well in the same given time. You will actually not be able to compare both. This is the beauty of choices.
The other side of this coin about you owning your power lays that you also have the responsibility. And this can be an uncomfortable truth with weight you would rather not carry. But the Universe works in balance, so I find it very inspiring, that when we claim the one, we also get the other side in the package.;)
So I choose to be grateful for the opportunity that I had choices to make and even if at times it feels like those were not giving me, what I have hoped for, I trust that they gave me what I actually needed to learn. Time and reflection usually proves this point. 🥰
So Sweet you, I hope you catch it, when a post, shared message or discussion gets under your skin and presents triggers or brings up uncomfortable feelings. When it happens, “simply” stop doing what you have done in the past in similar cases.
Did you comment immediately to present your truth about it? Have you made up a meaning about it, so you can put it on a well-known shelf in your head? Did you feel all wrong and decided to stop whatever you are doing and second-guess yourself?
Stop. Just stop everything for a second. Get curious and give it time for clarity. Be compassionate by giving yourself love and support and trust that if you need to act, you will know how when the storm calms.
Learning how to hold yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can get. ✨
At the end of the day, you are left alone to make your choices, and that is both a privilege and a responsibility.
When you are guided by love and not from fear, you find a way to act with authenticity and the best interest for you and for others. 🙌
Wishing you happy navigating this world of offers with love and gratitude! 🫶
And as teased above, here is my latest example of being guided and trusting that guidance over my logical thoughts and recent influences:
A few days ago the symbol of a hummingbird(kolibri) came to me. It was everywhere that day, my daughter pointed at it in a book, then I gave her a skirt with kolibri on it and she was also looking for a matching T-shirt.
About an hour later a friend of mine with highly intuitive abilities (yes, Janin - it is you! ❤️) sent me a picture of a plant, which looked like little hummingbirds on a stalk.
Some hours later I have been listening to a playlist, which was recently presented to me (thank you, Natalie :*), and I realised that Pachamama was a returning figure/concept showing up for me again. By the way all of this happened on Earth Day.
I woke up in the middle of the night that night and opened my Instagram, where this man and his account shown up. I have never encountered his posts before, but when I was presented with the ad of his webinar, there were hummingbirds all over it.✨
Of course I clicked and it turned out to be a free 2 day recording with some Andesean (people from the Andes, like incas etc.) shamanic rituals included, which has immediately taken me into 3 past lives right there 4 am in my own bed.
Now, you don´t need to believe that those were my actual past live events.
You don´t need to believe that I have the ability to remember those times.
But I have learned in my Neurotransformation therapy training that our brain is able to remember OR MAKE UP visual images, feelings and nudges, which can help us to process emotions and events that hold meaning to us.
So what I can tell is that i did feel incredible in my body afterwards. Much lighter. Much more contact to joy (and that is extremely interesting, because in these 3 portals I was taken to my death…) and more contact to my soul and hope.✨
Similar to what I (and many others who have tried) felt after the timeline therapy sessions, which I have paid for.
And that contact to myself was very valuable to me. Free content or not. 🙏
Have you ever had a similar “guided” experience?
Do you remember experiencing this lightness after any modality or a ritual/event you have tried?
Would you enjoy discussing indescribable and non-logical happenings in your life, but you have not found people, who would understand it?
Please let me know, because I am soooo curious and so excited to hear all about it! 🙌
Lots of love,
Reka :)
