VULNERABILITY: Authentic Connection
Disclaimer: this post is not relevant for ‘unhealthy’ ties/attachments
To be vulnerable is to be exposed. In authentic connection, you will witness each other's shadow.
When masks have been removed, there is no room for illusion. This is where depth enters.
Unconditional love has room to grow. This is how you learn each other as well as yourself. How safe are you to be connected to? How safe do you feel in connection to the other? How willing are you both to show up even when it feels uncomfortable?
When conversation unravels, when emotions get messy, when soul calls for your Higher presence.
Raw and real relationships hold space for vulnerability. All connections have a spiritual purpose. All connections offer you the opportunity to connect with your soul. Vulnerability in connections is alchemy.
This is in relation to all connections, not just "romantic" connections. The truth is, you are responsible for learning and placing your boundaries. Just as much as you can only respect another's. No matter how much everyone involved is willing to make things work, ultimately you ask how safe is your/their whole-self in the connection?
Communication can alleviate misunderstandings when all parties have this intention. Whether or not someone can handle the whole you, in all your layers, as you commit to healing and evolving, will be up to them and vice versa. This can be difficult if there is misalignment in willingness to show up. Remember, such a situation is an opportunity for you to address any triggers that may arise for you.
This is not about how much you love someone or how much someone loves you. This is about how much you love you.
