A feeling awakened in me
It wasn’t a soft or graceful one
A blend of rage and deep hurt

The pain that has accompanied this identity of an Arab woman
The ancient bitter taste of repression for what’s meant to be sacred
The identity that I was told how to wear
The words I was taught to say
Those I was forced to stay away from
The parts of myself that I was permitted to explore
Those that I was forbidden to even entertain the thought of

The “honor” that I was taught to preserve
The shame I was to befriend as a longstanding frien-enemy
It was planted so close to me so that I was guaranteed to remember its gruesome smell at all times

The voice that was programmed to never stop playing in the background, in constant assessment of society’s perception & God’s approval whom they aloofly painted as a petty monster.

As I wrote a few words on the sacredness that is woman, I quickly remembered the sweat blood & tears offered in ode of her liberation, that continue to form my greatest honor today; My healing and the healing of women in my lineage.

The death within the death within the death of who I need not be, into the dawn of birthing a sense of self that is defined by the values that I deem noble.

I have been getting to know who she desires to be underneath all of that noise, constriction, and violence; and oh what a privilege it is to not only deepen this practice of self-inquiry, but to be the cycle- interruptor too.

I still notice myself secretly hoping for their approval, except now I have a home within myself to return to with a clear compass.

I offer these raw words for the women striving to make their voices heard in a society that’s devoted to silencing them, in full acknowledgment of the privilege that I practice in a country where my safety is no longer threatened as a price for expressing my truth.

“There will always be someone who suffers more than you. But does the sky need a reason to weep? We are after all, made of the same air, moon, and stars”

Pavana reddy

Here’s to generational healing and the liberation of what was always meant to be free- the sacred feminine.

I came across a video of a person celebrating the joy of living with Autism- it inspired me to share a few learnings that I acquired along the journey of working with neuro-divergent folks. 😊

I left the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) a few years ago, because treatment approaches, in my humble opinion, are heavily centered around robotization and subtle dehumanization, or at the very least- disregarding the soul of every individual with a unique blueprint.

I hope this serves as a restoration of the soul within the conversation on neuro diversity. 🧬✨🤍

Before I converse About liberation
& freedom
from patriarchy & oppression,

I dive deep into the waters
of my own internalized system of oppression

The internal force that i inherited
in a society
Where the perceived rights & wrongs of a man
are carved with expensive gold on the wall chambers of misogyny,
Titled “Godly directives”

I must first introspect
On how I choose to sustain a force of oppression so deep
That it permeated through the pores of my mind,
Making me believe that I was to imprison myself as the result of an entitled man
fractured into millions of bodies,
Operating as one current of abuse
That speaks multiple languages
Worships in many different ways
Plates their meals of ancestral trauma
With double sides of bigot & violence

I see now that as I raise my voice to the songs of freedom,
I must break the chains holding me back from anything and everything that does not view the feminine as divine.

With a liberated yet aching heart, I see you in your fight for freedom and I oh so stand by you ❤️ and countless other angels, live on forever free.

The medicine I did not know I needed, always has and always will come in countless ever-changing forms. All highlighted by the gems at the core of their experiencing;
these gems make their presence known in a space of devoted listening.

A prayer for the body; may you find safety in stillness. May you find stillness in safety.

A prayer for the mind; may you learn to release just as naturally as you carry mountains within you.

A prayer for the heart; may your drum beat pump a life of peace, acceptance, forgiveness, bliss and joy.

A prayer for the spirit; may you soar above all life’s matters, effortlessly shedding wisdom on the truth of existence that is none other than love.

Worlds upon worlds exist past the barriers of the mind. Every day of life is a playground to explore those barriers with the intention of loving them so hard that they melt into one truth.

Sunday blessings from my heart to yours 🦋✨💓

Thank you for the capture 🌷

Greetings friends and fam of the inter-webs, 🌞

Lil’ summer solstice life update: I am currently diving deep into a transitional period of creation; a new structure & system for “The Grounded Elevation” in hopes of my path of service aligning more with my personal values and vision for this life.

As I unravel in my process, I hold the vision for the winds of change to carry fruits of service for the world, at any capacity possible.

The journey of embodying my Arab (and universal) roots continues to deliver transformation on a multitude of levels for my personal path and the path of service that I walk.

A process of holding lightly what stood in the way, with the full acknowledgement that these obstacles are concurrently great teachers in their own right.

This process sparks a different type of devotion to the path of transformation.

“Moving outside the box is exhilarating and expansive, but destabilizing.”

Change, for me, symbolizes a dual process of diffusing polarization within the Self.

Come what may and blessed be the endeavors informed by deep passion and purpose.

Love,
Sarah

Inspired by yesterday’s story posts.

May we know authenticity to be the most attractive way to show up.

The authentic self could be dramatically silenced and confused throughout life’s circumstances & challenges, and it may feel inaccessible after carrying a grief case long enough.

In the next post I’ll share some tools to reconnect with your authentic self. Turn notifications on ❤️

The wounded healer is not someone who was wounded and is now healed. It is someone who continues to courageously break open the self and ego as a means for deep integration.

“The path less traveled by”
The path of inevitable sacrifice

Sacrifice of the ego’s desires, coping mechanisms, and excessive need for instant gratification

The path of offering,
The shadow-inducing,
Soul-Initiating,
Mind-expanding,
Path of miracles

Blessed be those who choose to embark upon it with faith & trust & pixie dust ~

I carry the honor of holding space for those embarking on this path through various therapeutic modalities.

Where are my folks learning to navigate life with ADHD out there? 🙌🏽

My life took a huge turn when I finally accepted that I don’t have a neurotypical way of processing information, and it wasn’t because I was careless or neglectful.

If you’re out there somewhere between giving up on yourself in this area and/or feeling hopeless about functioning efficiently, this is my loving nudge for you to try differently now.

Learn your own language of processing and get the support you need from professionals who understand this language too.

مين بعاني من التنقل في الحياة مع ADHD ؟ 🙌🏽

اتخذت حياتي منعطفًا كبيرًا عندما قبلت أخيرًا أنه
ليس لدي طريقة نمطية عصبية لمعالجة المعلومات ، ولم يكن ذلك بسبب إهمالي أو عدم المبالاة.
إذا كنت في مكان ما بين التخلي عن نفسك في هذا المجال و / أو الشعور باليأس من العمل بكفاءة ، فهذه هي تحفيزي المحب لك لتجربته بشكل مختلف الآن.
تعلم لغتك الخاصة في المعالجة واحصل على الدعم الذي تحتاجه من محترفين يفهمون هذه اللغة أيضًا.

Love,
Sarah
