This is such a fantastic post by Bethany Webster that mirrors my own thoughts and what I feel important to share with others, as many times as needed.

Some of my favorite things she shares:

Transformation isn’t fully real until it takes root in the body.

…the need to reach the final destination was really a defense against the un-processed grief within

Relief from the pain comes from opening to the pain

Our bodies are always in the present moment. Our bodies are always telling us the truth.

We must measure our transformations, not by the number of years we’ve been on the path, the number of books we’ve read, or the teachers we’ve studied with, but by the depths we have gone to in our own process. This is only something only we can know about ourselves. It’s a private kind of integrity. It’s a combination of commitment and surrender. The question really is ‘How can I live in each moment in alignment with what I know to be true?’ and ‘How can my words and actions line up with my deepest truth?’ Sometimes we can feel the hunger for this kind of alignment in our very cells.

Digestion cannot be rushed. It’s done when it’s done. We can imagine concepts as nutritious food that takes time to digest and become integrated into the body.

There is no “Away.”There are no shortcuts. We each must do the work.

…the results of your transformation rest solely with you, because only you can determine how deeply you digest the material and how actively use the roadmap you’ve been given.

You are Nature. Your body has seasons of it’s own.

Thank you Bethany for sharing such a wonderful post <3
