Vulnerability

"Embracing vulnerability allows us to connect deeply with others."

Deepak Chopra

When we open our lovely selves to others without fearing judgment or ridicule,  we are moved out of our comfort zone. We must allow this feeling of naked exposure, trusting that we will be accepted just as we are. Without a disguise, we are no longer defined by labels, and run the risk of truly being seen.

To receive a true sense of connection, we must tell our stories and listen to the personal accounts being shared. We discover how our paths cross each other and come to understand diverse reactions and to where they lead. Authenticity allows deeper relationships creating a transformative journey.

As we allow the self to open, change and discovery occur. We unpack previously learned behavior and come to understand life using a new language and uncharted feedback. Vulnerability requires strength, but leads us to endless compassion for the self and for others. The braids of connection hold us in unity and love.
