Temple Savtrusra is a walk through the shadow world of Self. In this deeply mystical and deeply personal song, I have used my voice as a channel of Divine Light to shine even in the darkest of places. Spiritual bypassing happens when we deny ourselves the right to be human and all the many arrays of emotion that come with that honor, including some of the less “pretty” ones- sadness, hurt, grief, anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, etc. To deny our human side sets us up for a grave risk- that we may never face the things that could truly set us free, and that we may never gain the immense wisdom from our own greatest teachers. Alchemy happens when we can walk into the shadow and rather than point fingers or blame, we learn to see how much stronger we have become because of them. In what ways has your shadow helped you become a better person or figure out what feels in alignment with you? With a reframing of mind, release happens, a reclaiming of our voice and power, forgiveness, and letting go. In this comes alchemical transformation. Diamonds form deep underground without any light at all, under immense heat and pressure. And once discovered, when brought into the Light they show their true, iridescent, immensely beautiful form.
May this song be a reminder that when you seek the truth within yourself, or perhaps when truth finds you unexpectedly, that many have walked through the walls of this temple before and you are not nor ever will be alone. May the hidden gems you find in here become the deep roots of your foundation, and may that strength blossom and lead you to your highest Light and fullest potential. 💗
