We’ve been here before but we are diving deeper.
Deeper into the space of feeling respected.
Respect is a feeling. It’s a belief. It’s an energy we contain inside or are lacking.
In the past, women weren’t always respected. (This is changing but it still lingers.)
Certain people or cultures weren’t always respected either. (and some still aren’t as much as others)
But in today’s society (for the most part) we can choose this level of respect we hold inside.
Respect is an inside job.
If we hold an energy about us that allows us to be respected or not that’s what we are going to experience in our lives.
This is/can be passed down from generation to generation.
The way we are treated as children sets the stage for the respect we continue to feel inside.
This has been a reoccurring theme in my life the last little bit. Not just as a mother, but friends, family, etc.
I’ve been zeroing in on the amount of respect I’ve been getting and looking at where that has come from for me.
I’ve been stepping up, stepping into this next level of leadership, of being respected at the next level.
The conversation that’s been had around this topic is boundaries but I call them energy set-points.
Where is my energy of respect set at to allow respectful relationships or non-respectful relationships into my life.
I’ve been clearing all of the limiting patterns of the past that have held me at the lower set point, to help me step up into the deeper feeling of empowerment.
This wounded energy comes from the maternal side of my lineage-
It’s a pattern of respect, trust and responsibility.
My boundaries as a child were not respected because they didn’t trust that as a child I could make the best decisions for myself. And because of this lack of trust in me and my abilities I was not trusted to being responsible for things that I was more than capable of.
This pattern and energy has followed me into adulthood. I’m still being disrespected in areas I shouldn’t be, my boundaries are still not being heard and I’m still being overridden in my abilities to be responsible for things I’m more than capable of.
This energy is having an impact in my life in all different areas. One of them being the ability to set energetic boundaries around my sensitivity and feeling others emotions.
I’ve tried to set these boundaries numerous times but those boundaries continue to be disrespected and the projections of their emotions and limiting beliefs continues to be a problem for me.
(Which doubles the problem because then I seem like I have the feelings that aren’t mine)
BUT as I step into this next level of respect – they begin to respect my boundaries and then the emotions are returned to the rightful owner.
(If you can’t project your feelings onto something else you have to own them.)
It’s an ongoing healing process but so far it’s had amazing results.
Because it’s time to step up. 
physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually
