Butt Evolution?
I was walking back from the coffee shop today, when this little girl stopped me and said "Damn for a white boy you have a big butt!". I just smiled and said "That's right I sure do!". By now you are probably wondering what is the significance of this interaction? Do I just want to promote my big butt or is their a deeper message here?
When I was younger, I would say until about five years ago, I was horribly ashamed of my large butt. I judged my self, and it may sound stupid, butt (hee, hee) it was a big reason I used not to love myself. When I began looking at myself, and observing myself, I noticed this dynamic going on. The amount of judgment I put on myself was ridiculous. As I observed and gently aligned myself to dissipate this behavior, I began to love my butt. After all it was part of me, so could I not love it?
I could not love it by continuing to judge and compare it or I could begin to see things in a new light. When I noticed judgenment rising in me around my butt, I would notice why, then I would re-mind myself of my commitment to accept and align myself with a more positive point of being. It took work, lots of work! It seems like over a couple of year period I must of judged and compared my butt 1000's of times. But each time I meticulously observed and realigned my internal world with whom I was trying to be.
Now, I can whole heartedly say, I love my butt and all of me too. This was a shift in my internal world which took time, commitment and patience. Was it worth it? Yes it is, today I am a greatly more loving person than I was, due to the fact that I now perceived my love of self and I can now reflect this outward. I also grew the awareness about what it takes to affect change!
Now I didn't write this to offend or promote my big butt. I am only illustrating how just one tiny aspect has grown into a new reality for me. The pathway to change is all around us, the signs are post clearly if we choose to read them and actually do the work required. This all comes down to one point about reality changes. It all starts with me, if I am not going to change, who is going to change our world?
Namaste!
