Someone tried to draw me into a drama recently. I tuned in for myself, then asked trusted intuitive friends for their guidance. All of that helped with clarity, but something still lingered, and my mind wanted to chew on it. I went to see the talented therapist I have worked with for many years, who quickly zeroed in on the core issue – shame. The drama person projected her shame onto me, which triggered my own shame, and the spiral spun. 

“The word,” my therapist said, “is Radiance.” Interrupting the critical self, who ran wild with the idea of shame, required shining bright. First by having my powerful adult self connect with my higher self, then the angels. With clarity and power established, I could soothe the wounded part of me (child self) by acknowledging and praising him. Turning to face the critical self, I showered him with bright love that moved him far, far away from my life. 

This shift created more room for me to be alive with love. It stopped the mental chewing. It has given me fresh tools to quiet my mind and heart. The key affirmation being simple: “I Am Radiant.”
