increasing your state of consciousness in the moment and our conscious awareness is composed of our ego and our persona which aren't necessarily bad so it's also being becoming aware of the inner voices within you and what they're doing you know what function they have in yourself and then striving for wholeness which is found in the present moment

If you're aware of all your senses here and now, then you can show up more presently and consciously versus if you're not feeling your senses and your mind is somewhere else and you're striving for perfection, then that really takes you outside and into a liminal place that doesn't exist, but we're creating in our minds.

Light work, it's practical.

It's also spiritual.

It can be, if you allow it to be.

And I like to use the analogy of

your light is your energy it's what you show up to the world with it could be seen as like the clothes and the shoes that you put on and step out into the world in and if we don't have that then we can show up vulnerably and raw and unprotected

And in those states, we can go into fear and start to grasp onto external things.

Maybe someone else's persona or ego, and you embody that, but it's not yours.

And so it's really important to create your own source of light so that you don't become porous and soak in this essential energy from things that are temporary and outside of you.

Because when those things disappear, then you're left empty handed and confused and drained.

So this practice is really about cultivating your inner resilience, your strength, your self concepts, and it goes hand in hand with personal development.

That there's just this spiritual layer of trust and understanding

the shadow and light and how we can balance these polar energies within ourselves.

Becoming who you truly are or expressing how you've always been.

I think it's expressing who you truly are in the moment.

So a combination of those, there's the expression, which is an important part of light work.

It's the doing, it's the being, it's the actions that cultivates.

And then who you truly are, because we are constantly evolving.

So who you were in the past may not necessarily be who you truly are today.
