In Full Bloom
What does living from the inside out feel like?
Is there a gap between the life you've built and the life you want? And if there is, what’s in the gap?
There are moments in Spring and Summer that happen before you notice them.
The tree hasn't bloomed yet. And then, one day, it has. You didn't catch the exact moment. But you can see, clearly, that something shifted. Something that was building slowly and consistently beneath the surface has arrived.
That's what this month has felt like in thinking about this community.
We defined our boundaries and held our ground in service of our Values (Week 1). We set down what no longer belonged to create space for what does (Week 2). We turned toward what we want to create and took one deliberate step toward it (Week 3). And now, in this final week of the arc, there are possibilities available that weren’t available before.
Those possibilities are built from your most resonant self at the center of The Gilbert Resonance Model. From this place of Resonance, you feel the deep connection to your inner world shining through to your outer world. In full bloom, living the life of your own design. One that’s unmistakably yours.
This is what living from the inside out feels like. It’s a quality of being, a way of moving through your days, a re-tuning to yourself that gets a little more natural each time you practice it. Because Resonance is not a destination, it’s a practice of re-tuning. And this month you have been practicing.
This week I want to offer you one question:
What is alive and blooming in you right now?
This week's practice is called Power Up and it’s asking you to step fully into your aliveness. It’s waiting for you on The Resonance Grove podcast whenever you're ready.
Next month we move into new territory. Arc 3, Relationships as Mirrors, explores how the inner work we've been doing changes the way we show up with and for the people in our lives.
Where in your life are you blooming? What does it feel like to bloom out loud? I’d love to hear from you. I read and respond to every email I receive.
With warmth & gratitude,
JaKenna
Founder & CEO of The Gilbert Collaborative
