Wabi Sabi and Your Uniquity - When I Grow Up

Wabi Sabi and Your Uniquity - When I Grow Up Julia Ng is back to post here all the way from Singapore, and I love being introduced to the concept of Wabi Sabi. Its all about beauty, being present, and a world full of change and possibility. Must be kismet that I snuck a spot on the WIGU blog during The Declaration of Yous Uniquity week! Its an incredible blessing that I get to witness clients (re)awaken to their unique Soul qualities and unfold these Soul qualities in both their inner and outer worlds. Each time I do a reading, Im struck by how each persons Soul story is different and how its played out in their lives. At the same time, Im reminded to stay centred in my uniquity while embracing change. Its not always easy. Its often much easier to see how others are beautiful and unique, but I daresay we all tend to hold back on, or worse, FORGET our uniquity. Your Wabi Sabi World Wabi sabi is mainly an aesthetic principle, and sometimes evolves to refer to a way of thinking/being. The shortcut meaning is usually expressed as the acceptance and appreciation of imperfection, which works, but is also a reflection of how limiting words and language can be. Wabi sabi is near impossible to define, but my current interpretation of it helps me hang out in my uniquity. Wabi is about seeing the beauty in the everyday, the mundane, the ordinary. Its a reminder about how our attitudes filter what we see and experience. Sabi is about the beauty in, or born of things/situations that may appear old, sterile or difficult. This idea can be symbolised by the moss that grows out of a hard, unmoving rock. Wabi sabi also encompasses ideas of transience and non-completion. It lies in the poetry of the moment, between what is and what we choose to see. It is, and it is no longer. Wabi sabi is unassuming and un-rahrah, and I find it so helpful on days that are not smooth sailing. It brings gratitude, permission to let things go, and reminds me that every moment offers me an opportunity for change, to reframe things. Or not. And whatever I decide, its okay. In the wabi sabi world, flaws are pretty much a requirement. We dont have to fix anything. We can, but only if we want to. We are not beautiful in spite of our flaws, we are beautiful because of our flaws. Take a moment to step into your own wabi sabi world, and honour your uniquity today. p.s.  If youd like to dip your toes into a complimentary Soul Portrait Mini-Report, created specially for you amazeballs WIGU readers, drop me an email at julia [at] thelucidpath.com anytime before the end of June.
