Self-expression<\/strong> is an act of expressing ones thoughts, beliefs, emotions and everything you consider to be \u2018reality\u2019. By the way of vulnerability and authenticity, you can express and reveal who you truly are to the world \u2013 however many find it easier to pretend and mask themselves from the outside world, and many of times they even hide from themselves. Yet, this can be determinantal to one\u2019s life and joy, since when you repress your true self you create blocks in expression and the projection of yourself, which will indefinitely hurt you and the experiences you are creating, reflecting and participating in.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

The relationship between self and others is innately within us all, but is slowly removed from our skillset as we get older and have been exposed to society and many experiences where sometimes expressing your true self may not feel safe, loved, wanted or honored. Without authentic and true self-expression, your soul is held behind doors and your spirit cannot shine outwardly.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

What\u2019s important to remember is that self-expression is purely for you and no one else<\/strong>, it is not impress or align or adhere to whatever might be trending at the moment. The world might try and convince us to turn cold, hard and non-expressive and self-expression of any form is the most alive, warm and passionate thing one can do. It takes bravery, courage and dedication but it is worth it.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

We can be held down and oppressed by family, society, the media, the world telling us how to think, act, eat, move, dress and so and so forth. We must sort through all this to find and uncover our true self-expression. Authentic self-expression is when you hold space and embrace all sides of yourself \u2018positive traits and the shadow traits that we usually try and keep down within\u2019. Where we value all the pieces of ourselves.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Always know there are no wrong or right ways to express oneself<\/strong>, but this is after one has aligned with their true self and exactly who you are and want to share with the world, this is done through the journey of self-discovery. And then once you reach this point you can really feel the energy of \u2018Freedom\u2019, and release yourself from the \u2018Self-Expression Shackles\u2019 that have been holding you back.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

First off, one must understand that there are four fundamental kinds of communication\/expression and these are the first four one can discovery, heal and expand. These four foundations are the starting place to see where you might need to shift and grow.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

  1. Internal Talk<\/strong>. This represents how one speaks to themselves. For example: are you harsh and mean to yourself?<\/li>
  2. External Talk<\/strong>. This represents how one speaks to others. For example: is it difficult for you to express  your needs to others?<\/li>
  3. Internal Touch<\/strong>. This represents how one touches themselves and feels in their own body. For example: are you comfortable dancing with yourself and caressing your body?<\/li>
  4. External Touch<\/strong>. This represents how one touches others. For example : are you comfortable giving a hug to a person?<\/li><\/ol>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

    Note<\/em>: Sit with yourself and really go through the above four foundations and see where you at with them, are they easy and supporting you in love? Or is it difficult and are they supporting you in fear?<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
