Expressing Our TRUE Brilliance

If you haven't noticed, this month's theme for Tribal Truth - a Co-Creative Leadership Program in Which Conscious Women Are Collaborating to Make a Difference in the World - is EXPRESSING OUR TRUE BRILLIANCE.  As a result, the telephone lines & virtual wires have been buzzing from the Pacific West Coast of America all the way across the pond to where the Summer Olympic Games are taking place in London, with women, of all ages, getting lit up. 

We are listening for our individual as well as our collective brilliance by dropping into silence, stillness and our breath, together.  Then, we are wading into the murky pool of communication, boundaries, expectations, relationships, honoring and owning while recognizing, in the process, that our vulnerably expressing what is happening for us in this exact moment - for example, "I'm feeling nervous," or "I'm feeling like I'm not being trusted because I have been interrupted twice now in this conversation," - is the conduit through which we embody our truths.

Sometimes, however, this space can feel uncomfortable and messy.  For example, fear can arise when another shares, "What just happened is not okay with me."  An impulse to pull in, contract, avoid, run away, protect or defend one's self in the face of this may arise.  Yet, it is our staying open, vulnerable and honest to this pain - especially when it is we who may have inadvertently made a mistake or unintentionally hurt someone- that allows for true transformation to take place.  This "dark" place is the fertile soil from where we uncover our truths and beam our individual brilliance back into the world. 

Our brilliance is also discovered in the balance between the light & the dark, male & female, container & flow, structure & space within us.  It is the meeting place of the masculine and feminine energies and an improvisational responding of when to harness & wield the appropriate energy/tool for the corresponding moment and when to just hold back, patiently, as we wait and receive. 

All the while, we are TRUSTING that the juicy, organic, live, real TRUTH will reveal itself to us if we simply listen deeply and allow for the mystery of the unknown to bubble up and make itself “known."  This is how we harness our TRUE POWER as we co-creatively build forward in this new world to come.
