Day 2: The Origins of Your Inner Light
As we delve deeper into the first tenet of Lucivara, The Light Within, today’s focus shifts to understanding where your light comes from and how it has been shaped. Your inner light is unique, forged by your experiences, values, and passions. It is both a reflection of your past and a guide for your future.
To fully embrace your light, it’s essential to explore its origins. This journey is one of self-discovery and reflection, allowing you to understand how the moments that have defined you contribute to the brilliance of your inner flame.
Your inner light is not static; it evolves as you grow. Every challenge you’ve faced, every success you’ve celebrated, and every connection you’ve nurtured has added to its strength. Consider the pivotal moments in your life: a time when you overcame adversity, discovered a passion, or found clarity in a time of confusion. These experiences are like logs added to a fire, fueling the radiance of your light.
For example, think of a moment when you made a decision that felt deeply aligned with your values. That moment was a spark; a recognition of who you are and what matters most to you. These sparks, when combined over time, create the warmth and brilliance of your light.
Our values act as the foundation for our light. They are the compass that guides our actions and decisions. When you live in alignment with your values, your light shines effortlessly. When you stray from them, it can feel dimmed or distant.
Take a moment to identify your core values. Are they kindness, courage, curiosity, honesty, or resilience? Reflecting on these values helps you understand the core essence of your light; what it stands for and how it inspires you.
Passions are the fuel that keeps your light burning brightly. They bring joy, purpose, and a sense of fulfillment. Whether it’s creating art, helping others, exploring nature, or solving complex problems, your passions are a direct expression of your light.
Think about what makes you lose track of time or fills you with excitement. These activities are not random; they are deeply connected to your light, showing you how to nurture and sustain it.
Today’s exercise invites you to reflect on the origins of your light by creating a timeline of pivotal moments that illuminated your sense of self. Here’s how to start:
Identify Milestones: Think back to key moments in your life that shaped who you are. These could include personal achievements, relationships, challenges, or moments of clarity.
Connect the Dots: For each milestone, ask yourself: What did this experience teach me about my values, passions, or inner strength?
Visualize Your Light: Arrange these moments on a timeline. Notice how they weave together to form the story of your light.
