Stepping into the Light: Embracing your Inner Leo
Welcome gentle souls,
Let your light shine brightly.
So, the Leo sun is asking us to step out of our comfort zone and become who we are truly meant to be.
Not the version that fits neatly into other people’s expectations, but the mighty roaring lion within us, ready to take charge and become the magnificence we already are.
It about your glow. Your inner radiance. Your fire.
Let’s celebrate the inner gorgeous you.
Leo is the sign of the heart. It is our courage, and it reminds me of the lion in The Wizard of Oz. All he believed he needed was some courage, but he possessed it all along.
Perhaps that’s the invitation of Leo, to recognise that what we have been searching for is already within us.
It’s about living brightly, living with vibrancy, living with courage, being big, being loud and being unapologetically ourselves.
We can step into the light. This is not the month to hide. But stepping into our power doesn’t mean making one dramatic leap. Sometimes it can begin with one small, incremental step towards feeling a little more empowered. The small changes we make can begin to shift how we feel. Like wearing that outfit you’ve been saving for something special. Putting on the song that makes you want to dance around the kitchen.
Doing something simply because it brings you joy.
Then that led me (and this always brings me joy) to creating a quick playlist on Spotify, with a few suggestions, that make me want to boogie around the kitchen…
A few songs to help you turn up the volume, step into your light and dance around your kitchen.
This could include a literal roar. Although if you don’t want to scare the neighbours, save your roars for when you’re driving alone in the car. I find it very cathartic. Get that pent up energy out with a roar or a scream. Sometimes the body simply needs to release what the mind has been holding onto.
Step outside into the sunlight and absorb those rays just for 2 minutes. Close your eyes and imagine yourself filling up with golden light, allowing it to move into your heart and your whole body.
Write a poem. Do something creative. Draw a picture. Doodle. Paint. Dance. Create something simply because you can.
Put on that song that makes you want to move and let yourself dance around the kitchen. No audience. No judgement. Just you, your body and the joy of being alive.
Where am I hiding my light?
What would it feel like to let myself be seen?
What small step could I take today towards becoming more fully myself?
You don’t need to be someone else. You don’t need to wait until you feel completely confident. The lion already has courage. You do too. Here is your badge.
Until next time,
Blessings,
Stephanie
May your light shine brightly.
