The Sanctuary Within: A Unicorn’s Path to Self-Love

The Way of the Unicorn

As a co-creator with Creation, I am responsible for freeing my mind and repairing the sensation of separation from the Oneness. I am she, and she is me; we are expanding endlessly together. We hold the threads together. I mother the World, and she mothers me. We all flow together as one thread, which is ever-emerging and ever-evolving through us.

I am an ecosystem within an ecosystem, and I sing the harmony of Love, the thumping heartbeat, the blood rush of the Universe. How can I help you understand that we are a part of everything? What inspires the whole World living around me?

My inner healer KNOWS. She does not make herself smaller or quieter, nor does she slow down or hide. She is strong, fierce, and intense, asking questions boldly and defending the defenseless. Direct. Straight to the heart. Truly anchored and has experienced so many lifetimes in this lifetime alone. She knows there is no such thing as being "too much" because she knows she is not too much; she is MUCH MUCH. She LOVES her MUCH MUCHNESS. And she is compelling, magnetic, seductive, impassioned, and sure. She KNOWS and laughs with delight for the sheer Joy of Being alive with Love at the Center of All Choices.

To carry this truth forward, everyone must awaken to their life within the bodies where their existence unfolds. Our bodies are sacred temples. It is a strange and wondrous thing to awaken to the knowledge of our sovereignty, especially after living a life where this awareness was intentionally obscured to keep us under control, listening to others and not hearing ourselves screaming inside. We need to listen to our Inner Voice. It is the ONLY Voice that tells us what we truly feel, without other people’s voices drowning it out. Our True Voice reveals our genuine feelings and guides us to make choices that prioritize putting love for ourselves first, for we cannot truly love others until we first love, honor, and respect ourselves and once we find that love for ourselves, it becomes our strength—steady, unwavering, and always ready to hold us up through the journey. As Unicorns and Wild Things, we make our way through the big, wide World. We will live, love, and Breathe Freely, fully aware that we are genuine creations, creating lives of our own making, and this inner guidance will lead us along the path that is right for us.

This self-love gives rise to a thrilling sense of freedom when we wholeheartedly accept our uniqueness, and immense joy emerges as we release the constraints imposed by the outside World. This acceptance allows us to discover and celebrate the Unicorns and Wild Things within our inner wilderness. Nurturing that love for ourselves surrounds us in steady reassurance and gentle strength.

Love for oneself is key to living a joyful life. When we truly love ourselves, we operate from a state of wholeness that enables us to maintain healthy boundaries. The love we give to others is pure and unhindered and not provided at the expense of ourselves.

From this place of clarity, we can fully embrace our unique Unicorn or Wild Thing essence, allowing our Much MUCHNESS to shine. Here, we connect joyfully with other Unicorns and Wild Things across the globe, all choosing to express their true selves. - Singing at the top of our lungs, dancing and spinning, leaping and playing—like the wind through the grass, the gentle whisper of leaves, the dazzling shower of meteors lighting up the night sky, and the starlight cascading down.

Yet even in the midst of such joyful celebration, it may seem that there are few Unicorns and Wild Things in this World. But in Truth, there ARE as many of them as there are people on the Planet, as we all have our own Wild Things inside the Sanctuary of our Exotic Inner Wilderness. However, it’s unsurprising that there are so few Unicorns and Wild Things out in the open, as there are unique challenges for every Wild Thing and Unicorn. It can be scary to stay true to being yourself and be brave while facing the almost inevitable ridicule from others for being a Unicorn, ridiculed for the very same things that we LOVE about being a Wild Thing or Unicorn. It doesn’t make sense. Why can’t people simply be kind? Being kind feels so much better in the deep parts of us than being cruel and has infinitely more inherent gifts. Kindness is the outward expression of our inner Love Light—an illumination born from self-compassion and the courageous choice to honor others as we honor ourselves. And our inner Love Light is what we are here to shine! If we are not being kind to ourselves and others, we are not capable of experiencing the deepest love and the most profound joy possible in this existence.

Even when unaware, we embody an inner Sanctuary—just as we began by reclaiming our Oneness, we return here to the truth that within us lives a space where our Unicorn or Wild Thing is always safe, always known, and always free. Where our inner Unicorn or Wild Thing can reveal their authenticity without fear or shame, through the transformative practice of creating with intention, the joy of creating and the blessings of self-actualization within are unlocked, crafting an inner world where dreams take flight and souls find solace.

And how awesome is that??!?
