A Radiant Gem

'A Radiant Gem', an intuited sketch from my soul with a message for the week ahead, 12-18 August 2013;

A multi-faceted gem radiates (that's you), knowing each facet (of the self) is unique yet part of the same whole. There's a facet that wants facts first, and a facet that dares to dive into the unknown. There's a facet that seeks silence, and a facet that presses its face to the window eagerly awaiting the next thunder storm. There's a facet that loves to be filled to over-flowing, and a facet that desires to empty itself of all it is not. Who you are is not a collection of contradictions (or a mis-matched mess). Nor are you broken or faulty. You are a divinely crafted whole.

Inner-battles, struggles and self-sabotage momentarily blind our higher vision when we forget we hold it all. 

Your whole self is as you already are, whole. 

You are a beauty-filled multi-faceted whole. Each one of us are well-aware of the things that seem not-quite-right about us, inside and out. Gemstones do not seek to ignore, deny or dismiss one of its facets. Each facet is held sacred as part of the one beautiful whole.

As any facets show up this week that irk you, push you, bother you or bug you, let them be (without becoming them). There are facets within you that want, will and wish for opposing things. But not to start a war in your head and heart. Simply to remind you all things are possible. So, own the facets that tug at your sleeve. No, it doesn't mean you have to become them. If one facet is loudly protesting that it needs alone (all-one) time doesn't mean you must now become a monk or a nun. Allow them space to be. Listen to what they want to tell you. Hear the message they hold for you.

When our individual facets (especially the ones that are unsure, unclear and holding fear) are allowed to be, they release their resistance and naturally 'click' into place. You are beauty-filled. Beautiful. Whole.

You radiant multi-faceted gem you.

I'd love to hear from you. What facets of self are asking you to let them be right now? Add your comments below or be a part of the conversation on my Facebook Page.

Shine on, Jelena x

A Little Sparkle

Creative Nudge Fridays is here!

Welcome to nudge #25. We're sparkling.

There's a divine spark in each of us. Its fiery, pure light, life-giving goodness radiates from the core of our being, out through our skin and into our lives. Ever notice how people say, "You're glowing!" or "You look radiant!" whenever we are on fire in our life, blazing forward on our highest path and feeling alive from the depths of our being? It's the inner spark, sparkling out.

Here is a nudge to remind you that your inner spark was born to shine through your whole self. Consciously add some 'sparkle' to your life this weekend. Interpret this in whatever way calls you right now.

To help you get started here are a few ways that you can get your sparkle on:
- Bust out your glitter, glitter pens or glitter paint.
- Make something using sequins.
- Get creative with anything metallic (in a non-explosive way of course).
- Paint your nails with sparkly polish.
- Wear something gold, silver or sparkly.
- Write a poem inspired by the word 'sparkle'.
- Capture the sparkle of the sun or the sparkle in your own eyes via a photo.
- Light a sparkler (safely), setting an intention of how you would like your own inner spark to shine through you.
- Journal out what it means for you to 'sparkle'.

Your divine spark illuminates your entire being from the inside out when you step out of your own way and allow it to shine.

To remind yourself that you are a divine spark, take a pic of your nudge in action, then use the pic as your screen saver or wallpaper on your phone or computer.

If you give the nudge a go, comment below or be a part of the conversation on my Facebook Page. If you share your nudge in action via Twitter or Instagram use the tag #creativenudgefridays so we can find you.

Create on, Jelena x
