The True Self... A Powerful Resource

​​This past month has been exciting and filled with lots of fun and learning as we began our new school year. It was also a month that held a huge decision for our family. Our daughter has been attending a wonderful learning community in Hopewell, NJ over the past year, whose mission is to educate children in a well-rounded and holistic way.  As much as we love this learning community, we decided that the best decision for us as a family was to have her join us at home again to homeschool.   In reflecting on this, I recognized how difficult decisions can be especially when others are directly affected by that decision.  It reminds me of the image of a drop of water in a pond creating ripples that reach much further into the pond than we often realize.   
​
In times of indecision, I find myself turning to one of my best inner resources--my true self.  The true self is our full and complete self, and can serve us as a powerful helper during stressful times.  When we stop and tune into this part of us, we remember who we are and what we value.  Establishing a relationship with our true self allows us to face difficult times with strength and stability as our authentic self.

Last month in circle, we had the chance to discover and experience an unknown resource in our life. Many of us thought of resources outside of ourselves, and were surprised to find that some of the best and underused resources come from within us. This month, we will have the opportunity to experience our true self through constellation work.
