Reemergence: Allow yourself to die, so you can be born, all the time.

Hello beautiful soul!

Welcome (back) to Madre. This is Aranzasú De La O.

Disclaimer: the podcast/narration of this piece is a bit longer and I go deeper into my journey, raw and go off the cuff, make sure you listen and let me know in the comments if anything lands for you :)

It’s been a while and I hope you’ve enjoyed your winter. I'm back after what seems like a quick spin in my Mexican folklórico dress and a blink of an eye!

There are significant periods where we get to let go into the long winter sleep or cocoon to recharge.  These periods can be short or long, and you know what? Depending on how you see it, it's all okay. Somewhere in our societal learning, we neglected to tend to our natural rhythm to keep up with life demands.

We are like the seasons, never to be in perpetual bloom, and yet we do try, don't we? Sometimes we need to stop the incessant effort to think we need to get better at something because BEING is just as great too.

There’s a song I like and I heard this quote which resonated with me: “Déjate morir para poder nacer, todo el tiempo” Allow yourself to die, so you can be born, all the time.

💡Sometimes being reminded of who we really are and our unique power requires us to be ‘on a mat,’ per say, to die, and then be born again. It means we’re acknowledging our human.

We’re not always going to be super happy and joyful. We’re not always going to feel fit and amazing. We have our days of sadness, grief, anger, feeling heavy, bloated, and lethargic. Yet, it’s ALL GOOD.

Madre is more than being happier, healthier, and fit. Madre is a place for us all to grow into our uniqueness…into the truth of who we really are. This is a place to be reminded that we are whole and complete just as we are.

For me, Madre is also a place to share what is in my heart. A place to share lessons and things that allow me to be more embodied.

Madre will always remind you that YOU CAN get back up. That you’re okay. It’s okay to be where you are and it’s okay to be who you are. You have the courage, strength, and energy to level up.

You also have the capacity from within to thrive and to appreciate yourself more and more each day, no matter where you are right now.

I’m excited about sharing so many of the things I’ve been up to in the last eight months. I don’t get around to writing much lately or being on social media because my schedule has been full. The level of analysis in my job that I get to do and the self-appreciation spiritual journey I’m on is highly activating. It requires extreme presence, and energy. By 7pm, I’m so done for the day.

Yet, with all the energy and love in my heart today I’m here again…  To remind you that you are exactly where you need to be. And quite frankly to let you know that you don’t need empowerment. Been thinking that using the word ‘empowerment’ by default may bring you to believe you’re not already in your power. 

Thank you for being here as I grow and change. I do my best to show up as authentically as I can. I'm sure there will be many evolution’s for us as we journey together, and I love that we are a part of one another's bloom.

Have a blessed day. I hope that you have a beautiful week and I will see you soon.

With love,
Aranzasu

P.S. I told myself I would be of the cuff and not edit anything to shift from my perfectionist ways of doing things…so hope you enjoyed the rawness of this podcast!
