Burn it Down: The Purifying Flame

Uncovering our deepest truth requires unraveling and unlearning the lies and limitations imposed by socialization, allowing us to burn away old burdens with gratitude, trust, and love, making space for our true selves to return home.

When we work to uncover our deepest, most authentic truth, we inevitably go through a process of unraveling, unlearning, and freeing our spirits from the weight of conditioning — the lies, limits, and soul-stifling ideas imposed by socialization.

Think of a purifying flame as a powerful tool to allow whatever arises to emerge and simply burn away. Use your imagination.

No hard feelings. No resentment. No disempowering guilt, self-deprecation, or self-reproach. Instead, we fuel this fire with gratitude and love.

Thank you. You’ve served me well. Now, you may go.

Be thankful when old burdens resurface. The more familiar they feel, the more prepared you are to ignite them and let them burn. You no longer need them, and there’s no reason to hold on. Trust that if something feels terrible, it’s rooted in a lie. If it feels depressing, it’s based on a lie. If it makes you feel degraded, deflated, uneasy, embarrassed, or disheartened, it’s a lie.

These old ideas are bridges to places you’ve visited before, and this time, you might be ready to burn them down.

Your heart will soften. Your mind will relax. Your clarity will be restored, and your true self will have space to return home.

Love your life.
