This Is What I’m Here For

Gulara Vincent

I attended a retreat recently to deepen the way in which I'm sharing my gifts in the world. Half-way through a seven-day retreat, we had an exploration of what we're here for. We spent the whole morning in pairs asking each other questions and inviting genuine self-enquiry.

We were asked to speak from the heart and be willing not to know the answers. The atmosphere in the room was very heartful and open and when it came to writing down some ideas, which were asked to do  without any censorship or thinking, my hand scribbled down these lines while I wept and wept. I guess, it came from my heart and to be honest, it took me by surprise.

Here're the lines. 

This is Why I’m Here For

I’m here to love. To love fiercely, love from the centre of my being that has nothing to do with infatuation.

I’m here to let that love penetrate empty spaces and crevices of my soul and yours and let them heal.

I’m here to heal through love, mine and your own, to see you as whole, not broken, to see your light in the midst of your shadows, to help the lost parts of you to come home.

This is why I’m here.

I’m here to love, myself first. Love myself into wholeness, into bliss, into life. Love the parts that seem utterly unlovable. I’m here to speak the truth, speak the unspeakable, voice what’s been forgotten, forbidden, suppressed. I’m here to reclaim my voice and help you access your own.

This is why I’m here.

I’m here to heal my ancestors’ lives, to experience what they have not even dreamt of, access things which were beyond their reach, bring across colour and tradition through wisdom and knowing.

I’m here to heal, to spread the light and ripples through the field of pain.

I’m here to help you to put your burdens down so that you can raise your hands in the surrender of dance, when you can finally breath - free, unencumbered, happy.

This is what I’m here for.

To help you re-write your narrative, to create a new reality from the inside out, to let life through in every way and form it wants to manifest itself.

I’m here for a dance, to navigate life and all its complexities, to juggle all my responsibilities… with joy.

I’m here to be available to you and myself, to life and death, to stop resisting what is and let life do its thing, however it meant to happen.

I’m here for transformation, yours and mine. To see my children grow into adults. To taste the richness of life.

This is what I’m here for.

And so much more…

P.S. What are you here for?
P.P.S. I'm starting a new 12-week course on 29 March at 10:00-11:30am. Five amazing women already said 'yes'. I only have 3 spaces left. Want to know more? Drop me a line. Let's have a chat.

With all my love
