How Embracing Our Humanity Helps Us Manifest Our Desires
I feel called to share this reflection of mine for everyone stewarding regenerative visions and offers for the New Earth we all co-create together.
In one of my tarot self-readings recently, I downloaded the message about authenticity, vulnerability, and intimacy being a powerful trifecta in showing our wounds and potential around love and money.
Both love and money reside in the sacral region, which governs manifestation, creative power, and pleasure.
It’s also associated with the divine feminine within every one of us.
Many would argue that love and money are intertwined, and that how one shows up in love is how one shows up in their finances.
With this recent realization, I’d like to make a case to bank on the truth behind it.
When we talk about authenticity, we talk about how we embody our truth without shame.
It shows up in the way we allow ourselves to be seen for who we are.
It is the unfiltered expression of our truth, which is a massive magnet for alignment towards the deepest desires of an individual.
When we connect it to vulnerability, the thread is found in our ability to remain sovereign in our edges as shining diamonds that have planted roots on Earth.
Vulnerability is the ability to be comfortable with being seen without shame and guilt—to flow even in the midst of fear of being misunderstood.
Showing our vulnerability doesn’t mean we have to “trauma-dump” to someone when we want to be seen.
It’s about removing any ounce of cloaking that we do to our shadows and standing tall despite and because of it all.
For intimacy to unfold, then, is to invite and nurture the unfolding of both individuals in a connection.
Intimacy is rooted in trust—in the knowing that when we see and are seen by the other person, love and respect will not run out the door.
It connects both authenticity and vulnerability.
Authenticity is to remain rooted in our truth and sovereignty.
Intimacy is to recognize the truth and sovereignty of the other while embodying our own.
Vulnerability is to remove shame from that embodiment of truth and sovereignty.
And so, wounds around the three manifest not just in love but also in money.
Many would affirm that the fear when we put ourselves and our regenerative visions out there—whether as artists, entrepreneurs, or other equally powerful roles—is in being seen.
I would argue, however, that it’s not that we do not allow ourselves to be seen—it’s to be exiled, punished, and misunderstood for showing who we are.
It’s the systemic narrative some of us believe that if we choose our truth, we will become unworthy of love and respect.
It is a conscious decision, then, for us to liberate ourselves from that narrative and root ourselves in sovereignty and empowerment.
While many of us come from different backgrounds, the collective shame around authenticity is seemingly a thread that connects us all.
And because of this societal wound, most, if not all, of humanity holds deep gashes around authenticity, vulnerability, and intimacy.
In love, it shows as fears of opening up.
To fear love and be loved because someone might hurt or be wrong for the other person.
To fear trusting because the trust may be broken by the other.
To fear showing up, to fear giving and receiving love, because of the perceived fragility and brokenness as though human beings are incapable of healing.
Not that we are incapable of it. We always are. We know how to regenerate as it is our nature, along with everything else on Earth.
We just abhor the process of healing.
The discomfort, the “wasted time” that could have been used for other things, the inconvenience that comes with being human.
Why? Because some of us believe that being human disrupts productivity.
Being human seemingly disconnects us from our rawness, which ironically, reinforces the same thing we're trying to disconnect from: the attachment to productivity.
These same wounds, then, show up in our subconscious beliefs around money.
Selling ourselves short, negotiating below what we deem as reflective of our value, and continuously extracting more than we need.
Chasing short-term sales over long-term health of the ecosystems we nurture.
Struggling with justifying the value of the work we do.
Inconsistently showing up to our visions, if not struggling to show up in the first place.
Seeing rest as a disturbance to our productivity, not as an amplifier.
As stewards of massive regenerative visions within and beyond our respective New Earth networks and ecosystems, we oftentimes see these, too, in our everyday work.
And if there’s a thread that connects these wounds altogether, it’s the disconnection from our sense of self-worth.
The divine feminine, as we discussed earlier, is in the sacral chakra.
When we talk about the divine feminine, we talk about the embodiment of self-worth—of knowing deep within that we are worthy and ready for what we wish to bring into our spheres.
So, we continuously attract and magnetize what we are—what we fully feel deep into our core as our truth.
And so, manifestation is never about trying to pull into our fields what is missing.
It’s about aligning ourselves to our signature frequency, to our truth, to the threads that connect us to our deepest, most authentic desires.
If we wish to manifest joyous, healthy, trust-based relationships, we remember the joy and trust that lives within us.
If we wish to manifest more money, we align ourselves with the energy of abundance, which is always of gratitude for what truly brings us joy.
And to manifest both of them is to not just feel the nourishing, wonderful feelings that these bring.
It’s also about knowing the responsibilities for such manifestations and choosing to fulfill them with every fiber of our being.
And so, the journey to becoming authentic isn’t to try to become who we thought we aren’t already.
It’s to release the narratives that make us think that we are not.
For us to release these narratives, we remind ourselves of our worth.
A simple question that can guide us to our remembrance of our worth would be:
“If I truly love myself, what would I choose to be, do, and/or have?”
And to recall and embody our inherent infinite worthiness, we go back to what makes us afraid of authenticity, vulnerability, and intimacy.
It’s because these three show us the thoughts and beliefs that we may think are unlovable about us.
This is what we wish to bring into the New Earth:
Regenerative relationships within and around us that are rooted in deep, authentic love for ourselves, each other, and for the planet we stand on together.
And so, I see you and I have been seen—and I remain in joy and love even in the discomfort of it all.
