You Are Not the Churn // Tea With Robin Episode 150

When we struggle, when we are churning in our upset, we believe the churning is who we are. Waking up means we recognize that this happens and are willing to believe that we are never limited but this energy trying to dance with us now IS very limited. Let’s use all of our struggle for our liberation. The fullness of who you are — Spirit in a body expressing itself as You, the personality self — is NOT the churn. This week’s featured letter: Help with my mother-in-law. How do I see her as the light and not as a… …Read More »

You Are Not a Problem // Tea with Robin Episode 144

You are a person on the journey who had experiences that left you changed. What if you didn’t see yourself as a problem? You are not a problem. Calling yourself a problem is to deny your needs. When we act like we don’t have needs around our wounding we are in denial. No wonder there is suffering. No wonder we struggle. Learn to love the one in you who was hurt and you’ll get yourself free. What I see is we keep getting into the same familiar situations that we went through as kids. Difficult scenarios. How many more times… …Read More »

You Are Not The Only One Who Struggles With This // Tea with Robin Episode 139

  The stories we tell create our experience. Everybody has hard parts. Everybody has difficult edges. The stuff they automatically avoid because it’s hard. Regardless of the unique backgrounds, we may have, what unites us is the wounding. Am I the only one? Am I the weirdo here? Why does this always happen to me? How come nobody sees me? How come nobody gets me? Don’t attack yourself for being this way. Healing is about recognizing the pattern we keep doing and make a change. This includes the stories we tell ourselves above. Move into a space of healing. Accept what… …Read More »

There’s Only You and Me and We Just Disagree

I love that song by Dave Mason: We Just Disagree I think it’s really a love song of sorts but every time I hear it my heart finds its way back to family and old friends where wounding happened and stuff still isn’t healed. My eyes prick with tears as I tell you that. Sometimes it’s just really hard to be awake and on a journey and have people in our lives where the shit has gone down and the path with them isn’t smooth and easy anymore. Harder still are the places where I feel like the horrible stuff… …Read More »

Go Where You’re Celebrated, Not Where You’re Tolerated

“Don’t try to convince anyone that you’re a good person. Quit trying to win someone over who isn’t kind but only tolerates you-you don’t need their approval. Be kind, be respectful, but you don’t have to stay… go where you are celebrated. Keep living forward and trust that the right people are there. You never need to convince anyone to love you.” – Joel Osteen Rejection. I can remember that yukky feeling going all the way back. It seemed lots of people didn’t love me as much as I loved them. People in my family. Some of my teachers, some… …Read More »
