unfold and flower

Stuck energy from our past keeps us contained in a partial, compromised identity. When we hold on to pockets of stuck energy, we feel we need to defend ourselves against anything that might undermine our protective self-structure. When we rest in awareness in an unconditional and receptive way, this blocked energy is unlocked and invited to flow freely. This enables our lives to unfold and flower, for all identity structures to be released, and for us to boldly express who we are and the love that we feel in a natural and spontaneous way.
