Those relationships that eventually ended?… I stretched THEM too! We're here to stretch ourselves in love, my beautiful souls. So remember, you are a beacon of light for everyone you connect with. Recognize the purity of your Love and the power within you. And when the stretching becomes too tight, take a step back and see what you've gained from the experience.

For far too long, we endured negative verbal communication, stone-walling techniques, blame, defensiveness, and even physical trauma. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/showing-up monthly 0.5 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/d0e34fa1-e0fd-438f-a32c-e66cdaeab55c/Water+%26+Hawk+quote.jpeg Writings - Showing Up - Here. Now. I will let my heart lead, with my mind as a wise companion. …This is my vision. And you? What is your vision?… How will you show up for yourSelf? Will you stand on your shoreline, heart unguarded, open to the waves? This is where we meet ~ in the courageous act of showing up. It’s time. It’s time to follow our hearts with wild abandon. No holds barred. Big Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/d9b9d8ff-8e58-4ecc-8e77-1da5a5c4ac41/mystical+me+water.jpeg Writings - Showing Up - When I truly show up for mySelf it’s never false - it's alive and steadfast in truth. A clear signal. And these currents? They are only getting stronger. It’s allowing each inhale and exhale to effortlessly roll in like a wave ~ carrying me to the shoreline where the water sprinkles over my toes. Arriving. Present.

In doing so I’ve been subtly surprised to witness many unhealed wounds, holes in hearts that are long overdue for repair, and the way one clings to addictive, conditioned beliefs about what Love “should” be, or look like. Oh, and not to leave out the deep-rooted fears that keep one tethered to isolation. I don’t know about any of you, but I’m more than ready for real collaboration, genuine teamwork, and meaningful connection. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/divine-energies monthly 0.5 2024-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/08c7d89a-5d9a-40d9-b51a-5b79f33860db/White+Heart.jpg Writings - Divine Energies Do we fall into one energy more dominantly than another? Yes. It is your core energy. We can fluctuate back and forth within these energies but your leading energy reflects your inner nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/70c8392c-e60b-4fcb-8912-3731e2abb7d2/Lady+with+Tiger.jpg Writings - Divine Energies It makes sense now… it was protective masculine energy that would cast a shadow over my feminine energy, for the mere sake of self-protection. Ick! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE external masculine energy. However, the internal masculine energy take-over would throw me out of balance and require me to retreat… to look within to encourage thought and reflection. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/where-did-my-fire-go monthly 0.5 2024-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/1715988546294-KW5NM88KQ1NYKPRIHRKB/Self+Realization+Chart+Reading.JPG Writings - Where did my fire go? - Once I realized this was the energy I was traveling through, I sank into it and ACCEPTED. The funny (and kind of annoying) piece was, I had another YEAR left in that energy! So I began to open to it, and let it work with me and for me… rather than try to push against it. There’s really no getting around the energy of this 2 ½ year cycle. Accepting this really did make it feel easier. I put my head down and moved one foot in front of the other, CONSCIOUSLY! I released the (automatic) need to rush or push forward. I began to bring attention to all my emotional triggers around my self-definition. Whoa… this is a big one! Can you sense that for yourself? https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/realize-who-you-are monthly 0.5 2024-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/b1c8be9f-4ae3-4e26-8d95-7824f6e2a60a/suffering.jpg Writings - Realize Who You Are Explore and take the time to thoroughly understand why it’s challenging to embrace the aspects our ourselves that harbor feelings of insecurity, loneliness, sadness, jealousy, and unworthiness. Delve deep into the roots of these emotions to gain insight and promote self-awareness. It’s essential to authentically care about the reasons behind these emotional states ‘within’ ourselves. We must care. Awareness of these feelings represents consciousness ~ this is our present ‘experience’. This awareness liberates external factors from being held responsible, judged, or manipulated by us. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/spiritual-truth monthly 0.5 2023-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/7461d8c1-97b2-47d5-b2fb-952ceb103787/lady.jpg Writings - Spiritual Truth - Most often we get so caught up in the dynamic field of change, fixating on the objects, people, and places that constitute our current experiences - in doing this we ignore the dimension of awareness ~ an oversight I like to refer to as the sweet pocket ~ a sweet pocket of a realm laden with possibility and potential for transformation. It’s being aware of awareness and being conscious of consciousness. Engaging in meditation and creative pursuits is valuable, yet true clearing of condition programs and behaviors involves not just stillness but also conscious movement—a dynamic awareness of consciousness. BEing conscious of consciousness. HERE lies the practice. The calm within the chaos, the choice-point within. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/6e60605b-193c-470e-907d-783070cbdc28/you.jpg Writings - Spiritual Truth Breathing in, only aware of your in breath. Breathing out, only aware of your out breath. Uncovering and confronting our unconscious motivations is essential. By channeling perseverance and determination into these present moments, refraining from reaction to our ingrained patterns, to our ‘preferences’, we initiate shift, we initiate healing, we initiate the rise. This is the practice of tossing the sandbags out of the hot air balloon… it’s purifying these denser energies - dissolving of the worn-out goblins and collective patterns. As we become aware of awareness, we sense the lightness that comes in to lift us. This is truth - YOU are the answer. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/i-call-bs monthly 0.5 2023-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/1697153425756-I1IC6GZ1KL51NABWVNJO/Truth+Image.JPG Writings - I Call B.S. There is nothing wrong or bad about any of us. We were just hurt. It’s time now to grow up, to become our mature selves. Quit pointing at everyone and everything around us. Security is never without, only within. And if we neglect within, we go without. Why are we defensive? Defensive behavior is purely derived from a part of ourselves we want to tip-toe around. It is a fear. An underlying fear. Fear is typically wrapped tightly around a storyline we’ve been telling ourselves, whether from our past or a projection of the future; fear of letting go, fear of intimacy, fear of being fully seen, fear of an emotion. It takes shape in many forms; guilt, anxiety, judgment, shame, blame …it is in search of security. But when fear ceases then the creation of illusions and myths also ceases. It is the shaking out of the shadow. It brings forth the innermost needs and desires. This is the void, the space of the present. Where nothing is required to be different than it ‘is’. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/we-dont-know-what-we-dont-know monthly 0.5 2023-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/1696289339938-JZSA6H7A5D543QKWRS6K/image2.jpg Writings - We don’t know what we don’t know. - We don’t know what we don’t know. So often a heartbreaking or tragic story is shared and you hear the whispers and hushes bounce off every corner in the room; I could ‘never’ handle that if it happened to me. Or ‘I wouldn’t be able to live or function if that happened’. But how could you know. Until you are standing in an unprecedented and shocking circumstance, you can never know the limitless strength of the human spirit. It is greater and more forgiving than you could ever imagine. It’s the place where your soul touches the void. Let’s consider infidelity. How many times have we heard in conversation how most everything in a relationship can be worked through except for infidelity. I mean that is a pretty clear dealbreaker, right?! But how could you know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/ef3ec8ce-49f5-481a-96a7-ea3cd90af537/image1.jpg Writings - We don’t know what we don’t know. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/28c5922b-b510-4679-a454-807b1e12df85/image3.jpg Writings - We don’t know what we don’t know. - These two incredible beings are a testament to what it looks like when you stand in ‘what is’. This has been a huge lesson for me and I see where I have embraced this numerous times in my life. It is not comfortable BUT I am grateful I have the ability to be with ‘what is’ even when it feels icky. And…. they continued to awe and humble me in their human spirit… because of what came next… How could you know…. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/a-letter-to-self monthly 0.5 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/84e763f5-26ff-4390-b6d1-d00e82017203/daisy-3392654_640.jpg Writings - A Letter to Self - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/here-nowwriting-to-a-mentor monthly 0.5 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/55de43bc-32fd-47ec-ab38-94190306c361/switzerland-4237636_1280.jpg Writings - Here Now…Writing to a Mentor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/how-are-we-showing-up monthly 0.5 2023-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/19ef2d92-8046-4959-8095-b0a8ae8b35d2/person+on+mountain.png Writings - How Are We Showing Up? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/the-pause monthly 0.5 2023-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/ab660b8e-cbe9-4f60-8343-e2040c8bd785/The+Pause+Karma Writings - The Pause - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/to-be-human monthly 0.5 2023-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/95dcd20e-dfcf-42bf-95ca-6bbc4e4f28fd/To-be-human-full.jpg Writings - To Be Human - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/thankful-setbacks monthly 0.5 2023-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/86f1adf3-2a2c-484b-b9e6-45f6c26c8d96/IMG_7418.JPG Writings - Thankful Setbacks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/san-diego-voyager-inspiring-stories-series monthly 0.5 2023-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/3c19b2e6-52e1-459e-96da-982371a289e2/Naus_Colleen_Bio.jpg Writings - San Diego Voyager Inspiring Stories Series SD Voyager – Inspiring Stories series – interview with Colleen Naus, pillarPERFORMANCE Today we’d like to introduce you to Colleen Naus.

She nudged my soul, fractal by fractal, to embody the whole light that I AM. Along the journey I transmuted, shifted, elevated, released, side-stepped, and embraced all emotions that encompass the walk of being a soul in a three dimensional reality. Alongside her sovereign spirit stood many in her legion of awakened souls. I locked arms and wings with a like-minded union of people through her Upliftment Circles and on-going community teachings, events, and Oneness gatherings. https://www.yourilluminatedsoul.com/writings/who-am-i-who-are-you monthly 0.5 2023-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f267a2c2541710bfd0df2/c78276e1-23cb-4518-9764-1722593f9254/Automatic-Writing-Wiki.png Writings - Who Am I?
